Just as Nathaniel thought he had successfully turned the situation around and was on the road to a
better future, a newly posted video on the Internet caused considerable commotion.
An anonymous account posted the video with the caption, "I almost believed in love if it weren’t for the
time I took the video."
What was in the video, then? It showed Nathaniel standing in front of Rebirth’s office building, holding a
bouquet of 99 roses in his hand.He even released many balloons into the air while he waited for Lily.
Lily could easily get this video as the scene had attracted many people’s attention.
Several people recorded what had happened that day.
There was also surveillance footage of it.Of course, Lily had prepared the material and hired someone
to post the video online.She did not want to use a low-class method —posting sensational words and
leading the netizens’ emotions— back then, but since Nathaniel loved this game, Lily would play with
him.
Nathaniel saw the video but paid no mind to it.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмHe was even glad that the public
discovered his romantic gesture.
However, when the video became increasingly trending, he finally noticed something was not right,
especially with part of the caption, "If it weren't for the time I took this video."
He wondered what it meant.
Among the netizens were those inquisitive and attentive ones, who quickly picked up the location
where the video was taken — outside Rebirth’s office building.
As for the balloons mid-air, they captured the words "I love you, Lily"printed on ribbons attached to the
balloons.
The netizens could be almost sure about the time the video was taken with those few words.
Many had seen Nathaniel's face in the footage, and he had been the hot topic recently, so many
quickly linked him to the video, recognizing that he was the main character in it.
Some netizens who had initially taken pity on him switched sides.
"Someone took this video not long after Melanie got into trouble, correct? Goodness! Isn’t he upset and
guilty about what happened? Am I missing out on something? Did I lose a part of my memory?"
"You’re not alone on that."
"I pitied him before this and felt sad because a good man like him is troubled by love.Now I feel
embarrassed for being on his side!"
"Do you guys remember this b*stard saying Lily was the clingy one who kept pestering him? The video
shows us who the real clingy one is."
"Exactly! He calls her clingy but do you guys see what he’s doing? He’s the one bothering her! How
disgusting!"
"That b*stard has got to be the most shameless person in history!"
"B*stard! What a b*stard!"
Nathaniel could do nothing but sit by and watch as the netizens labeled him a b*stard.
Until now, he had not understood how the tables had turned again so quickly because of a video.
Still, some of Nathaniel’s supporters were defending him.
"He broke up with Melanie two months ago, and they ended things peacefully, so why can’t he look for
a new love? Love is hard to explain.Also, people can easily fabricate videos these days.This video
might even be fake!"
