The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 55

Hudson University boys' dorm.

Jude Jensen lay listlessly on his bed, staring at the draft he had just typed in his phone's notes app. After hesitating for a long moment, he finally hit copy.

He was planning to do exactly what Mika suggested: post a clarification thread and take full responsibility for the entire mess.

However, when he opened the Hudson University forum and prepared to paste it, his eyes landed on a pinned, red-highlighted thread at the very top.

[I, Seraphina Sutton, hereby issue the following statement regarding recent false rumors:

1. My interactions with Jude Jensen and Mika Miller were strictly normal social engagements. There was no inappropriate relationship. Claims of "seducing a best friend's boyfriend" are complete fabrications. I have entrusted a lawyer to gather evidence and will pursue legal action against the rumormongers.

2. Mika Miller operated my phone without permission in the rehab room and publicly played a misleading video, which constitutes an invasion of privacy. Her manipulative remarks led to me being cyberbullied, and I reserve the right to pursue legal action against her.

3. Jude Jensen's unilateral actions do not represent my will. Shifting the blame of a man's unsolicited pursuit onto a woman is textbook victim-blaming.

Please cease spreading these false rumors immediately, or you will face legal consequences.]

As soon as he read the statement, Jude's face darkened completely.

He had been ready to take the fall and clear her name, but what did she do?

She threw him under the bus, shoved all the blame onto him and Mika, and even threatened everyone with legal action.

In that instant, Jude, who had fully intended to play the tragic hero and shoulder the burden, suddenly felt she wasn't worth it.

Had it really just been his one-sided wishful thinking?

What about all those late-night conversations? What about her coy, flirtatious whining? What about the casual, intimate touches? What did all of that mean?

If he posted his apologetic clarification now, people would just assume he had been terrified by Seraphina's lawyer and instantly folded.

Jude's eyes grew cold. Expressionless, he deleted the apology he had prepared and instead uploaded every single screenshot of his chat history with Seraphina to the forum.

He added just one sentence.
