Chapter 4

Eve had been stealing my car and renting it out to other people to have sex in!

No wonder the car was always such a mess when she borrowed it, with that weird smell.

She'd been using my car as a mobile hotel!

My whole body started trembling. I grabbed the dorm bunk bed and dry-heaved several times.

This was the first car my dad had ever bought me, a graduation gift, and now Eve had ruined it like this!

Just then, the dorm door opened. It was my best friend Mia coming back.

She was holding a little cake she'd brought for me.

"Pretty sweet of me, right? Even on my date, I was thinking of you."

As soon as I saw her, I threw my phone aside and rushed into her arms, telling her everything that had just happened.

My best friend was furious. She grabbed her phone to call Eve and confront her directly.

But I stopped her.

"Wait!"

My friend looked at me in confusion.

"What's wrong, Karen? You're not thinking of forgiving her, are you? Absolutely not! This is theft!"

"Of course I'm not going to forgive her."

A sly gleam flashed in my eyes.

"I just have a better way to deal with her. Right now, you need to take me to the night market on your electric scooter. Fast!"

My friend thought I wanted to confront Eve in person, so without another word, she pulled me downstairs.

On the way to the night market, I scrolled through Instagram and actually saw a post from Eve.

She'd posted a nine-photo grid, all posed shots in my car, with the middle photo being a couple shot with Lawrence.

The caption made me want to laugh.

"Haven't even graduated from college and my dad insists on buying me a car. I told him it was too flashy and I didn't need it, but he got it anyway, so I guess I'll show it off~"

Our mutual friends had all liked it, and there were plenty of comments.

"Wow, I had no idea you were rich, Eve!"

"When do you have time to hang out? We should go for a drive in your new car."

"Does your dad need a son? I can be your brother."

Seriously? Eve didn't even block me from seeing this? That bold?

I immediately took a screenshot and posted it directly to our dorm group chat, tagging Eve to scare her a bit.

"Isn't this my car? Eve, you're using my car without even telling me?"

After I sent the message, no one in the group chat said anything.

My friend also tagged Eve with me.

"Stop playing dead and explain yourself, or we're calling the police."

This time Eve responded quickly.

"What do you mean 'your car'? Are all Teslas yours now? My family bought this for me. Why would I need to tell you anything?"

Her tone was so confident it almost made me doubt myself.

If I hadn't just seen Eve driving my car through the dashcam, I might actually have been fooled.

Another roommate started defending Eve.

"Eve's right. Just because the car model is the same doesn't mean it's your car. Are you saying only you can buy a car and no one else can?"

This roommate had always been close with Eve, like her little sidekick.

Usually in the dorm, it was me and my best friend hanging out together, and the two of them hanging out together. Except for when Eve borrowed my car, we generally didn't interact much.

My friend was stunned by Eve's shamelessness.

"Oh really? If Eve bought the car herself, fine. Just post the purchase receipt in the group chat and we'll believe the car is yours."

"Why should I have to prove anything to you?"

Eve was finally getting defensive.

"Anyway, this car isn't Karen's. Stop bothering me while I'm on my date with my boyfriend."

After that, she sent a voice message in the group. It was Lawrence's voice.

"I've always heard girls' dorms are full of drama, and I guess it's true. It's normal for you to be jealous of my girlfriend. After all, she's rich and has an amazing boyfriend like me. But stop harassing her, okay? Don't ruin our romantic time together, or I'll make things difficult for you."
