She gave a faint sneer and didn’t pay much attention to it. She closed her phone and prepared to rest.
The next day, perhaps because of her good mood, Jane got up early in the morning. Just as she finished washing up, a call came in. She looked at it and was surprised to see that it was Isabella.
Jane frowned slightly. What did Isabella want from her at this time? Thinking of what happened the other day, Jane wanted to hang up, but she was afraid that Isabella would take advantage of the situation, so she answered the phone.
“Hello.”
Jane’s voice came through calmly.
“Are you awake? I’m at the dessert shop downstairs from your place. They have a new product today. Do you want to come try it with me?”
Faced with Isabella’s enthusiastic invitation, Jane had no interest whatsoever.
“No thanks, I just woke up.”
“It’s okay; eating some dessert will make you feel better.”
Listening to Isabella’s urgent voice, Jane suddenly almost believed that Isabella was always such a person.
She shook her head lightly and casually put on a T-shirt before heading downstairs to find Isabella.
“I’m here!”
Just as Jane entered the dessert shop, she heard Isabella’s call. Isabella’s expression was indifferent, and she walked towards Isabella.
Seeing Jane’s natural appearance, Isabella couldn’t help feeling a twinge of jealousy. She had made an effort to dress up when she came out, but now seeing Jane’s bare face, she couldn’t help but feel a bit inferior.
“You just woke up. I ordered a new dessert. I don’t know if you like it, try it first.”
Isabella smiled faintly and handed the dessert to Jane.
Jane simply nodded and took the pastry, inadvertently noticing that Isabella had been frantically typing on her phone.
“What are you doing? So busy?”
“Ah, nothing.”
As Isabella said that, she quickly closed her phone. But Jane had seen in the mirror behind Isabella that she had been posting frenzied comments on Twitter.
And her Twitter account seemed to have no profile picture, appearing as if it were a newly registered empty account.
Empty account…
This undoubtedly caught Jane’s attention. Yesterday, she had observed the Twitter accounts attacking her, and they were almost all empty accounts with garbled names.
She looked at Isabella, who was smiling in front of her, and felt a sense of unease in her heart.
She couldn’t believe that Isabella could do such things even when facing her. Moreover, there were hundreds, if not thousands, of new Twitter accounts, undoubtedly hired by her to spread negativity.
Jane narrowed her eyes and scrutinized the woman in front of her.
Isabella became flustered under her gaze and hurriedly found an excuse to leave the dessert shop.
Watching Isabella’s receding figure, Jane quickly went to the restroom and vomited the dessert she had just eaten.
Isabella specifically had her come downstairs to eat the dessert, and then she didn’t do anything. Something was definitely fishy.
Realizing this, her eyes turned as dark as ink, and she immediately went to the front desk of the dessert shop. “Excuse me, I might have left a necklace somewhere. Can I see the surveillance footage?”
The staff at the front desk led Jane to the surveillance room. Jane checked the footage, and the camera was conveniently facing away from Isabella, clearly showing the contents on her phone.
Jane could clearly see everything Isabella was typing on her phone. And taking advantage of the staff’s distraction, Jane recorded this segment and sent it to her own phone.
With the video in hand, Jane returned to the front desk, wearing an apologetic expression. “Sorry, I might have left it at home.”
The front desk assured her it was okay, and Jane left the shop carrying the dessert Isabella had given her and went back home.
Once at home, Jane carefully observed the activities on phone.
Suddenly, she noticed a message popping up on Isabella’s phone.
She squinted and read the name written on it: “April.”
This surprised Jane. How could April have any connection with Isabella?
Thinking of April’s innocent face, Jane realized that something was amiss.
She hurriedly rushed to the office, found April, and pulled her into the office.
“What’s going on? When did you start having contact with Isabella?”
April looked puzzled, tilting her head. “Isn’t she your senior? She contacted me a few days ago and asked about some of your hobbies. I didn’t think much of it, so I told her.”
Jane frowned, understanding why Isabella had invited her to the dessert shop today.
“She’s not a good person. Stay away from her in the future.”
April nodded anxiously, realizing her mistake. Jane was like a deity to her now, and she would do whatever Jane said without question.
“If she contacts you again, don’t alert her. Come and tell me first.”
April agreed, but soon her phone rang.
“Jane, it’s Isabella.”
“Let me see.”
Jane gestured for her to open the message, but before April could say anything, she handed the phone directly to Jane.
“I know I’m stupid, so you should take a look, Jane!”
Jane smiled and took the phone, reading the message aloud, “April, why is your sister so rude? She just badmouthed Jane on Realm of Literature and Art, and it was really harsh!”
Jane read the message Isabella sent, which made April angry.
“What! She actually did something like this? I’m going home to scold her!”
“Wait.”
Jane quickly stopped April and tapped her head gently. “Are you an idiot? Isabella just wants you to provoke Cassandra, that’s why she said those things about me. Hasn’t Isabella done things like badmouthing me before?”
April rubbed her head and nodded faintly.
Then Jane imitated April’s tone and replied to Isabella, “Really? That’s too much! I’ll go home and scold her, but…”
“But what?”
As expected, Isabella fell into the trap.
“My parents always side with my sister. If I scold her, I might even get scolded by my parents.”
“It’s okay. I’ll give you some money to appease your parents. You just focus on scolding your sister!”
Jane smiled, surprised that Isabella would resort to this tactic to bribe April.
“I’m still afraid to do it alone. Why don’t you come with me? That way, I’ll feel more confident!”
There was a moment of silence on Isabella’s end, but then she agreed.
Jane equipped April with headphones and a listening device, instructing her to say what Jane told her to say. April agreed and went alone to meet Isabella.
“Isabella.”
April sweetly smiled at Isabella, and Isabella got straight to the point, “Just go ahead and scold her, say that she can’t compare to Jane in any way, and she has the audacity to speak ill of Jane, no matter how harsh.”
“Ah? Isn’t that too much?”
April questioned, while Isabella continued to explain.
“What’s the harm? There are so many people badmouthing Jane. You can’t confront every single one of them, right? Your sister is in the house right now, you can’t just let her off!”
