Faye finally spoke up then. "What were you up to today?"
"Not much. I''ve been cultivating in my room all day," said Wilbur, confused.
Faye scoffed. "Where were you in the morning?"
"The morning?" Wilbur blinked. "I went out for breakfast."
"Just breakfast?" Faye demanded coldly.
Wilbur shrugged. "Got myself into something stupid. What''s up?"
"You took upskirt photos of a youngdy, didn''t you?" Faye demanded, her expression ashen.
Wilbur darkened in the face at once. "Are you kidding me? Would I really do something like that? Besides, I''ve already proven my innocence. I didn''t take any photos at all."
Elsa could not hold it in any longer, bursting outughing. "Dude, you''ve gone viral. Everyone''s calling you a pervert online."
"What?" Wilbur eximed in shock.
Faron coughed. "Just go on any social media app and you''ll know what happened."
Wilbur took out his phone and pulled up a video streaming app, and there it was, right at the top of the home page.
"Pervert Gets Exposed for Taking Upskirt Photos of College Student At Local Bakery-Death To All Perverts!"
The caption was apanied by a thumbnail of Wilbur''s picture, and the video now had tens of thousands ofments.
Wilbur scrolled through the other rmended video slowly. Something rted to the topic woulde up every few other videos, each caption more exaggerated than thest one. All of them were insulting Wilbur, calling him vile and disgusting names.
Wilbur''s expression darkened at once.
This girl had gone too far.
He had clearly proven that he had not taken any photos, but she had still posted a video like this to gain traction and all these evilments. What was wrong with this girl?
Despite Wilbur hardly being online, he knew a thing or two about just how terrifying the inte could be.
Countless people took their own lives due to cyberbullying, and it was a terrifying global phenomenon.
Faye saw the look on Wilbur''s face and said atst, "I know you wouldn''t do something so stupid,e on. I was just joking."
"That wasn''t funny," Wilbur scowled.
Faye''s expression turned solemn then. "We''re already handling it, but it''s blowing up too much. It''s going to take some time for the hype to die down."
"What about that girl, then? What''s happened to her?" asked Wilbur.
"We''ve alreadyunched a whole investigation. Her name''s Flora Duvall, and she''s a senior at Westhand College. I''ve already gotten people to reach out to Flora to have her delete the video."
"That''s all she''s going to do?" Wilbur said darkly.
Faye frowned. "Well, we came to talk to you about what to do from here. This is really disgusting behavior, and we definitely have the right to take legal action. But well, she''s still a student, and it might affect her studies and the rest of her life. That''s where we''re hesitating."
Wilbur let out a sigh, furrowing his brows.
Faye had a point, at the end of the day. The girl was still a student, and a legal sentence would cause pretty severe consequences for her future.
"Do we have her number?" asked Wilbur.
Faye nodded.
"Let me call her. I''ll ask her personally to take the video down and clear things
up."
Faye found Flora''s number, dialing it on Wilbur''s phone and handing it to him. The call took quite a while to connect.
"Hello? Who''s this?" Flora''s voice rang through the phone.
Wilbur''s tone was icy. "Flora Duvall, right? I''m the guy from earlier whose reputation you are currently tarnishing and dragging through the mud. Take that video down this very instant and rify that it was all a misunderstanding and I''ll leave this as it is."
"Ha, in your dreams! You didn''t get to take those pictures today only because I caught you in the act! I''m standing up for women around the world by exposing perverts like you so everyone is aware! Like hell I''m going to take that video down. Go cry about it, I guess!"
She hung up right after.
"What did she say?" Faye asked.
