Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 120

What kind of scumbag was this?

And hadn't Iris been claiming all along that Summer was the one bullying her?

Who could have guessed that the fragile, wounded-looking Iris was actually the one pulling the strings?

Just then, the video from the boutique replayed on the giant screen, this time more clearly.

The one-minute clip ended, immediately followed by the complete, unedited footage from the hallway that evening.

The crowd's gaze shifted in unison to the two main subjects. Iris looked like she had swallowed a bug, her eyes darting around in panic, unable to meet anyone's gaze.

How could there be a video?

Iris was dumbfounded. Her first thought was what Vincent would think of her after seeing this.

"Vincent, it's not like that..." Iris lifted her tear-streaked face, her eyes pleading with him.

Vincent's ears were ringing. The conversation between Iris and Summer in the video echoed in his mind, every word sharp and clear.

He saw Iris frantically trying to signal him, her delicate face now twisted into an unfamiliar mask.

Even now, he couldn't bring himself to believe the video was real.

Could Summer have conspired with Ava to fake it?

Yes, that must be it. Iris was too kind to be the person in that video.

Just as he was rebuilding his mental image of Iris as the victim, another video appeared on the screen.

The scene was a nightclub. In a dimly lit private room, Iris was laughing and carrying on with a group of men and women with brightly colored hair.

After embracing another man, Iris poured a packet of white powder into a glass of alcohol, clinked glasses with the man beside her, and downed it in one go.

"No, that's not me! Vincent, it's a deepfake!" Iris's voice trembled as she looked helplessly at Vincent.

Vincent stood frozen. The wild, seductive smile on the face of the Iris in the video was a world away from the innocent woman he thought he knew.
