"Suzy, stop crying. I came to tell you that this matter has been resolved. No one outside knows it was you, Suzy," Annie said excitedly, grasping Suzy's hands. "Look into my eyes, Suzy. Everything I just said is true."
"That's impossible!" Suzy stared into Annie's eyes. Thinking she must have misunderstood, she blinked again. However, Annie's eyes looked clear and sincere, showing no signs of deception.
Suzy's resolve began to waver, but as soon as she thought about the videos and images that actually existed, she shook her head. "Annie, don't try to fool me. This can't be possible. We both know it was real, that..."
"Suzy, listen to me. It was an accident. No one planned it. And all those videos online have been deleted. The ones that were leaked earlier were all blurred out. No one knows the person in them is you.
"People were just speculating, but now, someone else has revealed that it's someone else in the videos."
Annie grabbed Suzy's shoulders, forcing her to look into her eyes. "Listen to me, this matter has been settled. No one knows it's you."
"Really?" Suzy gripped Annie's hands in return. "But... who was it? Who helped me?"
Suzy knew well that in Brookville, few people had such power, especially considering that those who attended that day were among the richest kids in Brookville's high society. Whoever could silence them all was no ordinary person.
Suzy did not know anyone so influential in her daily life, which explained her disbelief.
