In an instant, their scorn drowned me.
My attempts to defend myself were weak and futile.
"Teaching someone to cheat is a thousand times worse than cheating yourself! People like this should be run over and left for dead!"
"Spending your friend's money while ruining her relationship? Why don't traffickers kidnap scum like her? She should be sold to some remote village and made to have a dozen kids with a cripple, never seeing the light of day again!"
"If I were her parents, I'd kill myself out of shame! How can such trash exist? She's a stain on society, a leech on our time!"
The insults from the crowd grew louder and more vicious while Henry stood there, his grin growing more smug and maniacal.
A live-streaming influencer on a break from the nearby bar noticed the scene and rushed over, eyes gleaming with excitement.
Overwhelmed by the potential for views, they started recording me on their phone without a second thought.
Seeing this, Henry sneered, "Hold on, the real show is just about to begin!"
He ordered the bodyguards to drag me into the bar. By this point, I was too weak to resist, and my body was limp like a rag doll.
