She Stole My Pain, So I Took Her to Antarctica Chapter 08
I stayed in Antarctica for half a month before returning without hurry.
The moment I went online, I found that Vivian had posted an accusation video on every social platform she used.
In the video, her whole body was covered in blue-purple bruises. Her wounds were red, swollen and rotting.
Anyone could tell it was frostbite.
She posted my private information in the comments, posting my name, phone number, and address. Every word implied that I was the one who had harmed her.
My phone blew up with calls and threats.
Self-righteous strangers who knew nothing flooded in to attack me.
“You look so pretty, but your heart is rotten. Do you know you ruined someone’s whole life?”
“A woman like you needs someone to teach her a lesson.”
“Ms. Hall in that apartment on Manhattan’s West Side, living in such a nice place and still hurting people? Watch yourself. Haha.”
I handed all the information on the people harassing me to my legal team.
Perfect.
They could handle it.
As for the people who truly needed to pay, I was not in a hurry.
The hardest counterattack always landed best when the other side was at its proudest.
I moved into the stand-alone house left to me by the family trust. The security system there was
top-tier. As long as I did not want to appear, no one would ever find me.
Day by day, I watched Vivian lose control online.
At last, she snapped.
She called the police.
I arrived at the station at a calm pace.
The second I stepped inside, someone rushed at me, only to be stopped by my bodyguards.
Vivian’s whole body was covered in blue-purple bruises. Hatred almost spilled out of her eyes.
“You disgusting woman! You finally showed up!”
“You ruined my life. I’m going to make you pay!”
Vivian lost control so completely that even the officers were startled. They restrained her at once
and told her to calm down.
I did not want to look at her any longer than necessary, so I went straight to the point.
“Vivian, you said I hurt you. Then explain how I hurt you. Where’s your evidence?”
“If you can’t provide any, my attorneys will pursue a defamation claim against you.”
Vivian pointed at me, agitated and red-eyed. She grabbed at an officer and tried to make herself sound pitiful.
“It was her! She went to Antarctica and made me freeze like this!”
“My company terminated my contract because my face was ruined, and now they’re demanding five million dollars in damages.”
“You have to arrest her. She didn’t just hurt my body. She made me lose my job and left me buried
in debt.”
She begged the officers to take her side.
But the officers did not do what she had imagined.
They did not take me away.
Instead, they looked at her with awkward pity, as if they were looking at someone who had lost
touch with reality.
Vivian was truly frantic.
She had never thought that far ahead.
Aside from the people who had personally experienced it, who would believe in something like a
system?
Even I would never have believed it before I died in my last life.
“Ms. Reed,” one officer said, “what you’re describing is extremely highly implausible, and without
evidence, we don’t have enough to open a case.”
He looked sympathetic and added, “I can give you a referral for a mental health professional.”
Vivian’s pupils widened.
She had never imagined even the police would refuse to take her side.
Her emotions collapsed completely.
She sat outside the station lobby and cried loudly.
Regret surged over her.
She had only wanted to be famous.
Why had it become so hard?
Now she had ruined more than her body.
The doctor’s words echoed in her mind again.
“Ms. Reed, based on your condition, it seems you were exposed to extreme cold. Your internal organs show signs of damage. If you don’t get treatment, you may not have much time left.”
The memory made her cry harder, while her phone kept ringing with debt-collection calls from the
talent agency.
I walked up to her and kept my voice calm.
“I can help you.”
Vivian slowly raised her head.
She thought I was mocking her.
I waved my bodyguards back and lowered
my
voice.
“What if I had a system too?”
