---- Chapter 7 In the interview, Jason looked terrified as he described what had happened. "They had electric batons. They didn't give me food all day. They just wanted money. "T thought my fiance would pay the ransom, but I never thought that she would abandon me." He lifted his shirt to show a large scar. "When they didn't get the money, they tortured me even more brutally." The scar had been there long before we even met. He looked at the camera and said, "But I don't blame her. I love her." Jason was truly disgusting. The interview went viral. Jason was named the " most pitiful boyfriend of the year," and I became the "most vicious girlfriend." ---- The online hate was worse than before. Jason's stunt caught the attention of the police. They issued a statement saying that Jason had never been to Melvaris and that the kidnapping was a lie. Icommented on the statement using my official account. ClaraBennet_official: I didn't pay the ransom because he's a serial cheater. We broke up a long time ago, and I'm not going to be his fool any longer. He told the police that if the kidnappers split the ransom with him, he wouldn't pursue them anymore. Too bad I didn't give him the money, so it didn't work out for him. The police did not respond publicly, but they liked my comment as a way of showing support. Things turned around quickly. The interview video was taken down overnight. Jason's "loving boyfriend" image crumbled. He went from being ---- the "pitiful boyfriend of the year" to the "biggest joke of the year." I sighed in relief and sent a thank-you gift to the police. I thought it was all over. But two months later, I received a message from Hannah, which was sent from a different phone. (Clara, I'm marrying Jason. You looked down on me so much, but in the end, your man still ended up with me.] I could not help but laugh. I guess someone's trash really was someone else's treasure. When I did not reply, she sent another message to provoke me. Uason said the emeralds in Melvaris are cheap and beautiful. He's going to buy me a huge one. [He also said he's going to throw a grand wedding for us in Melvaris. You'll never experience that in
