Chapter 10 Chapter 10 I yanked my hand away from his grasp . " Love ? The only person you've ever loved is yourself . My money , Lin Yue's money - you've clutched it all tightly in your hands , haven't you ?? " You used these tactics to deceive me while manipulating Lin Yue's love to control her . And you ? You just had to sit back and enjoy the benefits . How pathetic ! " Looking directly into his eyes , I delivered my final verdict . " Over the years , you've given me a total of $ 67,000 , but you've taken more than $ 400,000 from me . I'm going to itemize everything and file a lawsuit against you . I'll allow you to pay it back over five years , but you will repay this money . " With those words , I left the room , ignoring whatever chaos erupted behind me . The incident quickly went viral online , with Rylan's manipulative tactics becoming common knowledge . Other women with similar experiences began sharing stories about men who used the same methods - men who demanded their partners surrender their entire salaries while constantly asking for more , ultimately leaving the women in debt . Outside , these men portrayed themselves as good partners who supported their girlfriends , yet after breakups , they'd label the women as gold - diggers who treated them like ATMs . Many women only suffered in silence , unable to express their pain . Rylan who had garnered sympathy online just days before now became synonymous with " manipulative schemer . " His actions were particularly despicable - not only deceiving me but also tricking an emotionally immature girl into earning money for him and helping him scam others . He became the poster boy for toxic relationships , and due to the severity of the situation , the university suspended him . In all likelihood , he would never return to campus . As for me , I had recorded everything that happened in the counselor's office . Her willingness to believe one side without investigation , her attempt to threaten me with disciplinary action , and her blatantly sexist remarks were enough to get her into serious trouble . Further investigation revealed she had even accepted bribes from my three roommates , deliberately targeting me . Those roommates had harbored resentment toward me for a long time out of jealousy , which is why they immediately seized the opportunity to kick me when I was down , hoping to cause my social death . Unfortunately for them , many of the items they destroyed were expensive clothing . Now they faced significant compensation payments , and the school issued a public criticism of their behavior . Rylan's roommate apologized to me , but I didn't forgive him . Ironically , despite his help , Rylan suspected him of exposing the reselling scheme to They got into a heated argument that escalated into a physical fight , resulting in disciplinary action for both . The truth is , I had wanted to break up with Rylan for a long time but felt trapped by his emotional manipulation . When I accidentally discovered his second - hand trading platform , I seized the opportunity to teach him a lesson . Moving forward , I won't be so easily deceived . I've learned that excessive generosity often hides a double - edged sword .
