Chapter 3

The huge shout made me pull the phone away from my ear. My boss was yelling at me on the other end.

"Do you know that rumors are spreading online about you bullying Mia?"

"Take advantage of this coincidence to improve your relationship. This is a potential viral moment for us. Being coworkers and gradually becoming best friends with your ex's new girlfriend will definitely help Mia gain a lot of followers..."

I cut off my boss before he could finish, "I'm definitely moving out today!"

Mia's eyes lit up, and she pouted, saying, "Lily, I really didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, and I didn't think you'd mind so much. Actually, I can choose not to rent if you're uncomfortable..."

She sounded more and more aggrieved as she spoke, as if she had done something wrong. Her voice even had a hint of tears.

This made her followers anxious, and they started cursing at me more vigorously.

[This bitch is so disgusting, she's almost made our Mia cry.]

[Capitalists will be capitalists. Didn't you hear how she just spoke to her boss? So arrogant, not taking him seriously at all.]

[I bet she slept with the boss to get so many resources. That's probably why her boyfriend dumped her!]

[I think the comment above is right. Our sweet Mia is just too upright and kind-hearted, that's why the boss doesn't value her.]

I stared at Mia with a cold smile, unable to hide the murderous look in my eyes.

"No need. I'm moving out."

You should know, in my past life, I was sleeping soundly at home when I suddenly woke up to find a naked, dead Jack on my bed. It scared me half to death.

The police forensic results showed that Jack had a pre-existing heart condition and died from acute myocardial infarction after taking erectile dysfunction medication.

The fact that he was naked on my bed left me completely unable to explain myself.

This gave Mia an opportunity to exploit. She cried her heart out to her followers, accusing me of seducing her boyfriend on Valentine's Day night and playing him to death in bed.

Suddenly, the whole world's spit was directed at me alone.

The platform believed I had violated regulations and laws, so they locked my account, leaving me with no way to explain myself.

Advertisers clamored for contract termination. My boss didn't hesitate to kick me out of the team, eager to distance himself from me. He even pursued millions in compensation from me, while turning to promote Mia, who had become a hot topic due to public sympathy and pity...

They literally drove me to death.

In this life, I definitely wouldn't feel safe with my address exposed. Even if Mia moved away, there was still a possibility she could harm me, so I had to move to a far, far away place, a place no one knew about.

I turned and went into my apartment, slamming the door shut before immediately searching for new housing and moving companies.

In less than three hours, I had everything packed up. The movers helped me load my luggage and furniture onto the truck.

Seeing the mattress where Jack had died in my past life, I almost threw up. Covering my mouth, I asked the movers to throw it far, far away.

This time, let's see how you'll set me up!

I moved to a place 15 kilometers away from my previous apartment. I even had the driver take a couple of extra turns. I paid them double the price to help me keep it confidential, ensuring they wouldn't leak my address to Mia.

The next day was Valentine's Day. I had accepted several sponsorships and needed to livestream from home all day.

To avoid exposing my address, I even put up a whole backdrop curtain, not letting my followers see even a hint of what my home looked like.

And so, I temporarily forgot about Mia and started focusing on my work.

On Valentine's Day, I streamed for over ten hours straight. When I finished, I felt like my soul had been sucked out of my body. All I wanted was to crawl into bed and sleep.

Just then, my mom called me, her voice full of concern.

"Lily, dear, Mom just dropped off some bird's nest soup for you. Drink it quickly before you go to sleep."

"You're always busy with your livestreams, your health is going to suffer. You need to take care of yourself."
