    Elijah stared at his phone in utter disbelief. He was the one in those photos with Cameron. Even with his face blurred out, Elijah recognized himself right away.


    It was from that time when he ran into Cameron at his family''s stic surgery clinic. She was about to jump off the building, but he convinced her to step down.


    Cameron took him out for barbecue to thank Elijah, but she got drunk instead. After hesitating for ages, he finally booked a hotel room for Cameron.


    He slept on the sofa in her room that night, worried she might try something again. Nothing happened between them at all.


    But here, the post used the nastiest words to describe them, wait, no, to describe Cameron.


    Elijah''s face turned grim as he kept scrolling through his phone. He wasn''t mentioned in the entire post at all. It was just one long smear against Cameron.


    And Elijah''s face had been deliberately blurred out. So clearly, this post was targeting Cameron only.


    Elijah wondered, ''Who did Cameron piss off this time?''


    With his phone in hand, he hurried back to Room 316.


    Meanwhile, Cameron had just finished washing up. As she walked over from the sink and saw Elijahe into the room, she gave him a slight nod.


    "Cameron..." Elijah called out, sounding anxious as he held his phone out to her. "Did you see this?"


    Cameron looked confused. "See what?"


    Then, she saw the post on Elijah''s screen, and she froze.


    She thought, ''So there''s no dodging this after all, huh?


    From the look on Cameron''s face, Elijah could tell she hadn''t heard about it yet. He frowned. "Did you piss someone off recently?"


    Cameron thought for a moment. "Honestly, I''ve probably ticked off quite a few people."


    Elijah had no words at this moment.


    Cameron didn''t really react much. She was just a bit surprised, that was all. She didn''t even look the slightest bit angry. After all, she''d already been through all of this in her previous life.


    Back then, she''d felt sadness, anger, pain, and frustration. No matter what she did, she couldn''t clear her name. But now, she was calm and unbothered.


    It was almost like the person getting dragged through the mud online right now wasn''t even her.


    Elijah frowned. “So what do we do now? We can''t just sit here and do nothing, right?"


    He couldn''t just let those people nder Cameron.


    But Cameron replied coolly, "No rush. Let me check who actually posted it first."


    With that, she walked over to her desk, turned on herputer, and started typing away. Elijah stood right behind her, his eyes glued to his phone screen.

    Meanwhile, Austin paused mid-step when he caught whispers around him. "Wait...are you talking about Cameron from ss 15?" he asked in confusion.


    "Yeah, Austin. Don''t you live in the same dorm as Cameron? You should really switch rooms. Someone like that is just gross. Who''d dare sleep at night with him around?"


    The rumor mill was in full swing. And when a few people believed it, it suddenly became the truth.


    Austin muttered, "That can''t be right."


    He refused to believe that Cameron was that type of person.


    Austin''s mind was a mess. He needed to return to the dorm right now and hear what Cameron had to say.


    When Austin got back, Cameron had just sat down at herputer.


    Austin had run so fast his lungs couldn''t catch up, and he started coughing uncontrobly. "Cam..."


    The swelling on his face had faded enough to go unnoticed, unless one was really looking.


    "Hey, Austin. You''re back." Cameron turned around and looked at him.


    Austin was confused. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary from Cameron''s reaction, and he wondered if she had seen the forum yet.
