Chapter 8
Fortunately, the police officer reacted swiftly enough and stopped her.
Shayla’s eyes turned red as she shouted at me, “What’s going on, Bella? How is this possible? There’s no way this lottery ticket is fake. After all… After all, you bought yours here!”
Hearing that, everyone else was confused.
“What does she mean? Did Bella buy a lottery ticket too?”
“I never heard her mention it.”
“Shayla’s like a clown. Now look, she didn’t win anything at all.”
The netizens also started mocking Shayla. After all, she had popped a champagne and laughed at everyone without holding
back.
Shayla continued to struggle and howl at me in fury.
I merely smirked as I looked at her and Aaron. “Shayla, you were the one who bought the lottery ticket yourself. I didn’t place a knife at your neck and force you to buy it!”
Right after I said that, Aaron grabbed my hand.
He said, “Bella, you must’ve sabotaged Shay. She never liked buying lottery tickets, so you must’ve egged her on. Did you know that this lottery shop was a scam and did this on purpose?”
I gave Aaron a slap, sending him sprawling to the ground. “Utter nonsense! Even if I knew this lottery shop was a scam, could I have made Shayla buy a lottery ticket with the exact numbers as the winning tickets?”
The people surrounding us quickly sided with me.
“Aaron’s such a shitty man. He was Bella’s boyfriend but dumped her because Shayla won the lottery. Now, he’s blaming Bella for it. No one forced Shayla to buy it. She was just unlucky, that’s all.”
I towered above Aaron and the hysterical Shayla. “You still have time to shove the blame onto someone else? Maybe you should think about how you’re going to repay those massive loans that you took.”
Both of them trembled and paled visibly.
Shayla’s teeth were chattering in panic. “The housing loan, car loan, and other loans all total to around 5 to 6 million dollars…” Everyone else gasped in horror.
“Wow, Shayla. I can’t believe you got the guts to take so many loans even before getting the money.
“You were acting rich earlier, treating us to a meal and gifting us Labubus,”
“Where are you getting the money to pay your loans now?”
Right then, Aaron got to his feet and slowly stepped aside.
Shayla asked anxiously, “Aaron, how are we going to pay back the money?”
Aaron furrowed his brows. “What are you talking about? You borrowed the money. What does that have to do with me? You’re the one who claimed to have won 50 million dollars, not me
Shayla’s eyes went wide in disbelief. “Aaron, I took out the loans, but we spent the money together. I don’t care! You must bear the responsibility with me!”
Aaron snorted icily and slapped Shayla without hesitation. “You bitch! I haven’t even blamed you for lying to me, you’re expecting me to repay your debts? Dream on!”
but now
Chapter 8.
I flashed a smile quietly. Good, they were turning on each other.
