Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot-Chapter 961 - : 275: Bully a good-for-nothing _4
Chapter 961: 275: Bully a good-for-nothing _4
Stella Taylor took all the blame upon herself and even stood up to defend Viola Thompson, presenting herself as understanding and unwilling to make a fuss.
Then there was Viola’s role in this.
She didn’t even apologize to Stella, continued to deny stealing the dog, and even maliciously slandered Stella.
It was clear that the two of them were on different levels.
As the saying goes.
Having an education doesn’t equate to quality and upbringing.
Viola had education and good looks, but she lacked upbringing.
Stella reappeared and once again dragged Viola into the public eye for trial.
No matter how much netizens ostracized Viola, she didn’t respond at all.
[She’s playing possum, too scared to respond!]
[I hope Miss Taylor holds on. Don’t bow to capitalistic pressure, remember, we’re behind you.]
[She must be freaking out now. She probably didn’t anticipate being taken down by a dog! But I must say, her actions are disgusting. She could be doing anything else, but instead she chose to steal a dog!]
[Go Miss Taylor! Everyone is here to support you!]
[…]
On the other side.
Viola returned to her dorm.
Hearing her footsteps, Mila looked up, “Viola, is the surveillance video crucial?”
“Yes.” Viola furrowed her brow.
Hearing her say it was significant, Mila became anxious, “Viola, the original file was severely damaged. It’s practically unrepairable.”
“Let me see.” Viola walked over to the computer.
Mila made room for her.
Viola sat down.
The room filled with the sound of rapidly clicking keys.
Mila interjected, “Viola, shouldn’t your priority be to tell your side of the story on Facebook, instead of trying to fix this video?”
Viola didn’t respond, her eyebrows still knitted together.
She originally didn’t think the surveillance footage would shed light on the situation.
But seeing the extent of the damage to the original file confirmed her suspicions.
The surveillance tape was likely tampered with.
Otherwise, why would they destroy the original file?
Once the original file is damaged, the chances of restoring the footage diminish.
Viola’s eyes narrowed slightly while murmuring, “No rush, all in due time.”
She was always like this.
No matter the situation, she remained unfazed.
“There’s no time to dawdle!”
Mila continued, “Viola, when do you plan to respond? If you let this go on, it will affect your reputation.”
This is like the phrase ‘when the king isn’t anxious, the eunuch panics.’
As her friend, Mila didn’t want to see Viola expelled from Capital University because of this incident.
“Once I’ve restored the surveillance video.” Viola answered.
“Restoration?” Mila shrugged in exasperation, “I urge you to give up! Don’t waste time anymore.”
Mila was not a layman in coding.
She was a top-notch hacker.
She had tried countless ways to restore the footage, to no avail.
Could Viola manage it?
Viola’s lips curled into a slight smile, “How can we know it’s a waste of time without trying? What if it happens to work?”

It’s always good to dream.
You never know!
Viola pointed at the computer screen and said, ” See? The progress bar is already at ninety-nine percent.”
Mila was not surprised at all, “Haven’t you noticed that it was already at ninety-nine percent when you started?”
“Really?” Viola raised her eyebrows slightly.
Mila nodded, and was about to say something, when she gasped. Her eyes grew wide with disbelief.
My God!
What was she seeing?!
Was it a hallucination?
The progress bar, which had been at ninety-nine percent, was now displaying a hundred percent.
Viola pressed the Enter key.
And just like that, the surveillance footage was restored.
As the video played, Viola’s face grew graver until it became as cold and impassive as a layer of frozen ice.
She had suspected that the dog had been left behind on purpose.
But she never thought that Stella could be so cruel.
Mila cursed.
“That damn Stella Taylor really isn’t human! She still has the nerve to portray herself as kind and empathetic in the media!”
Based on the timeline of the dog being abandoned, Viola found dozens of surveillance clips of the dog wandering the streets. She edited it into a 20-minute long video.
Then, Viola logged into her Facebook and started her counterattack against Stella.
Viola V: “A dog’s life only lasts for about fifteen years. I hope everyone can think carefully before getting a pet. Ask yourself if you have enough time over the next fifteen years to accompany your pet. Dogs, in particular, are energetic and require walks twice a day. If you love them, love them deeply, don’t hurt them if you don’t. As humans, we must always strive for kindness.”
