Scarlett gave Ryan a look that was full of provocation and complacency.
Ryan got the signal.
His face was livid and his voice was tense.
"Rose, where's the money?"
"One hundred thousand dollars, where did you spend it?"
My chest felt like it was blocked by something, and it was stuffy and painful.
I looked at Ryan, the man who had claimed a few days ago that he trusted me the most.
I opened my mouth, wanting to write down the bill for him word by word.
But as soon as I said the word "bill"...
Scarlett screamed, "Stop making excuses!"
"What kind of bill could cost nearly a hundred thousand dollars? Do you think we are all fools?!"
She was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, sharp and crazy.
I looked at her face which was distorted by excitement and suddenly found it a little funny.
What is this about? Forcing the emperor to abdicate?
She took a step forward and almost poked my nose with her finger.
"Rose, I'll give you one last chance."
"Hand over the money, or we'll call the police right now!"
"Let the police check who got the money!"
"If you tell the school again, I don't think you'll still want to be an outstanding graduate!"
I can't stand all those eyes glued to my back in the meeting room.
I opened the door and wanted to go to the common lounge area to get some fresh air.
The door behind them was slammed open and Scarlett's shrill voice sounded like an alarm.
"Rose, don't run! Everyone come and see!"
She really chased after him.
He was holding a few A4 papers in his hand, with printed color photos on them.
"Look at these! The latest cell phones! Designer bags!
She screamed like a hero who had caught a thief.
"Rose bought all this with our summer camp money for her poor relatives and friends!"
My head buzzed.
That was a screenshot of our roommate’s circle of friends.
It’s a graduation gift bought by my parents.
More and more people gathered around.
Campers, other leaders, and even strangers passing by.
"Oh my god, she just squandered $100,000 like this?"
"He looks honest, but he has such a dark heart."
Someone even spat at me, "I hate vampires like you the most. You suck the blood of our campers and use it to subsidize your hometown!"
I opened my mouth, but no words came out.
There is no point in making excuses.
At this time, Ryan pushed through the crowd and came to me.
There was a look of disgust and coldness on his face that I had never seen before.
