Chapter 484 Forum Discussions
Because she didn't want to return to The Curtis Manor.
Emma and Lionel found a quiet restaurant and had a simple meal in a private room.
Emma held the camera in her hand, mentally preparing herself for a long time, not really wanting to open it.
Lionel gently took it from her.
"I'll help you delete it."
"Okay."
Lionel deliberately walked a bit farther away, afraid that any sound from the camera might remind Emma of the unpleasant memories.
But he found that the camera was out of battery.
Lionel paused and tentatively asked, "How about I take it back tonight?"
"Sure."
Emma agreed without thinking, as she didn't want to see the thing again.
Lionel stayed with Emma until it got dark, and her mood finally stabilized.
He then took her back to the dormitory building of the academy.
Watching her go upstairs, he finally felt relieved and left.
As soon as Emma entered the room, she was greeted by three pairs of eyes.
"Emma, what about the lunch you promised?"
"Yeah, we're starving!"
"Don't even mention it, I didn't even have dinner, afraid that Emma would come back as soon as I stepped out."
Emma realized belatedly and hurriedly apologized to everyone.
"Sorry, sorry, I forgot."
Seeing Emma being so earnest, the roommates exchanged glances.
They couldn't help but say, "What's up? We were just joking with you."
"Yeah, why apologize?"
"We were planning to diet anyway, and we never had the willpower. Thanks to you this time!"
"Hey, hey, hey, I heard Ernest came to our school today and was looking for you. What did you guys do?"
The roommates didn't mean anything by it, as they knew from the beginning that Emma was the daughter of the Curtis family, and her sister Grace was a famous A-list celebrity in the entertainment industry before she was sidelined, just a step away from winning an award.
So it was normal for Emma to know some celebrities through Grace.
But Emma's face turned pale.
Suddenly, a wave of nausea surged in her heart.
She immediately ran to the bathroom, closed the door, and locked it.
The three roommates looked at each other.
"What's going on?"
"Emma seems really upset."
"Yeah, we should be careful with our words. Her eyes were red just now."
"What happened? Could someone have bullied Emma?"
"Emma is the daughter of the Curtis family. Who would dare to offend her?"
"That's not necessarily true. Some fans are crazy and can do anything."
"Hey, hey, hey, look at the school forum! Someone posted about Ernest coming to the school today at the gate! Now a lot of Ernest's fans are cursing below! And many who aren't from our school are also stirring things up!"
"What!"
They pulled out a chair, opened the computer.
Three heads gathered together, staring intently at the screen.
The post was titled—'Ernest's Girlfriend Suspected to be Revealed!'
The poster had uploaded many photos, all of Ernest looking affectionately at Emma.
The comments below were very malicious.
[What's this? There's a man standing next to this girl.]
[Look at how that man is protecting her. If you tell me he has nothing to do with Emma, I won't believe it!]
[Just goes to show how nice it is to have a good family background. Emma's sister Grace was so successful in the entertainment industry back then, maybe Emma just took the opportunity to mess around with Ernest.]
[This Emma is a transfer student. I heard she dropped out because she couldn't continue at her previous school.]
[Maybe she was expelled for messing around at school, and then she claimed she dropped out on her own. I've seen this kind of thing a lot.]
The three roommates were furious when they saw these comments.
"How can they say that about Emma!"
"Exactly!"
"No, no, I have to reply."
Soon, she posted a comment.
[These photos don't prove anything, right? They aren't holding hands or kissing, so how can you say she's his girlfriend? I think they are just ordinary friends or maybe had something to discuss. Understand?]
She thought this comment would calm the arguing people down.
However...
[Alright, alright, I just checked this person's IP, and it's from Emma's dorm room. If they weren't guilty, why come here to clarify? Everyone understands now, right?]
The three roommates rolled their eyes.
What kind of twisted logic is this!
Finally, the bathroom door, which had been closed, opened.
Emma walked out, looking unwell.
"I don't feel well, I want to sleep first."
The roommates were extremely worried but didn't dare to ask more.
A repressive atmosphere quickly enveloped the entire dorm room.
Lionel returned to a temporary rented house off-campus.
When he had nothing to do, he would come here to paint a few pictures.
After taking a shower, the battery had charged a bit.
Lionel turned it on, intending to delete the content directly, but found that there were not only videos but also photos.
He frowned and hesitated for a moment, then connected the camera to the computer.
He imported everything.
He found that it contained a large number of videos and photos of Ernest with other women.
The sheer number was staggering.
From Lionel's rough glance, he could identify at least twenty different women.
Lionel's face darkened, and he quickly found Emma's and deleted it.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly sunny and handsome Ernest had such a hobby.
While looking for Emma's video, Lionel inevitably clicked on others to check if the protagonist was Emma.
So he saw some things he shouldn't have seen.
But in summary, almost all these videos were secretly filmed by Ernest.
And many photos were taken while those women were sleeping.
"This guy is a pervert."
Lionel looked at the computer, feeling a bit troubled, not knowing how to handle it.
At this moment, his phone rang.
It was a call from a roommate.
"Lionel, where are you! You didn't come to class all afternoon? In half an hour, there's a lecture by a professor from Virtuverse University. You must come!"
Lionel pressed his temples, feeling a bit melancholic.
He put the laptop and camera into his backpack.
Got up and returned to the academy.
"Here, here!" His roommates waved at Lionel.
The professor hadn't arrived yet, and there weren't many people in the classroom.
Lionel put his backpack under the desk.
Listening to them chatter.
He didn't notice that three rows behind him, a woman named Jenny was sitting, looking at him with admiration.
"I need to go to the bathroom. I've had diarrhea several times today. Let's all go together."
"You need company to go to the bathroom?"
"Lionel, come on, let's be late together."
After they left.
Jenny tiptoed to Lionel's seat.
She took out his backpack and hugged it.
As if just smelling his scent could bring her peace.
"Hmm? What's this?"
Jenny unzipped Lionel's backpack and saw a camera lying quietly inside.
