After Mika made her post, the students in the rehab group chat flooded the forum to support her, causing the scandal's visibility to skyrocket rather than fade.
The comments were universally mocking Seraphina.
[Look at how Seraphina strung Jude along in those chats, and she still has the nerve to play the innocent victim.]
[@SeraphinaSutton, girl, how does the law define that slap you gave Mika in the rehab room?]
[The contrast is brutal. Mika handles it with class and tries to calm things down, Jude owns up to treating Mika like trash, and Seraphina is out here 'reserving the right to pursue legal action against both parties.' That's class right there, folks. True class.]
[Even though Jude is a jerk, compared to Seraphina's cold, legal threat, at least he acted somewhat human.]
...
James Sterling's apartment.
Seraphina stared at the overwhelming tide of comparisons and mockery on her screen, her knuckles turning white as she gripped her phone.
She thought that by having James use legal jargon to threaten them, she could at least suppress the public outcry on the forum.
She never expected that Jude, that desperate lapdog, would dare bite back.
And she definitely hadn't anticipated that the seemingly naive Mika could be so deeply calculating.
Talking about wanting things to end with dignity while repeatedly throwing around words like 'deceived' and 'used'—she was subtly confirming the dirty truth about Seraphina and Jude while playing the magnanimous saint!
She bit her lip, her tear-filled eyes looking up at James.
"What do we do now? Are we really just going to let them drag my name through the mud like this? I want to sue Mika!"
Ever since moving out of her dorm yesterday afternoon, Seraphina had come straight to James's apartment.
