Zack had begun livestreaming in his room.
"Listen up, you damn haters! I, Zack Graham, have a clear conscience. I didn't do what you are accusing me of! What the hell did I do to deserve this? If anyone keeps coming at me, I'll just end it all right here! Are you satisfied now, you bunch of bastards?"
In just a minute or two, a huge crowd of online spectators flooded his live stream, and his chat went crazy.
The audience was stunned by Zack's bloodshot eyes and furious expression.
"Isn't raging like this useless?"
"What is he even doing? Is he just getting angry? What's the point? Why not say that to the police instead?"
"He's clearly the one responsible. The woman was pushed to the point of attempting suicide."
Zack kept going for nearly ten minutes, furiously lashing out at his haters and swearing like he had nothing to lose.
Outside his room, Angela and the others stood in silence, thinking that it was better to let him vent for now. Once they found out who was really behind this, Angela would make sure to send them straight to prison.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Amber was completely alone in the large hospital room. She had already sent everyone away.
She opened Zack's live stream.
"How did it turn out like this?" Amber was overwhelmed with panic.
She never expected things to spiral out of control like this. All she wanted was to be closer to the person she liked and be with him. So, how did it come to this?
Now, not only was her own reputation ruined, but the person she liked was losing it. Was this really what she wanted?
Amber trembled violently, and then a surprisingly clear thought surfaced in her mind—she could tell the truth. If she were to confess to everything, maybe she wouldn't be punished as severely.
It was better than sitting here and waiting for everything to blow up and for Zack to hate her forever.
With that, Amber wiped her tears as she made up her mind.
