Today was the weekend, and Central Plaza was jam-packed. When a video started playing on the big screen at Central Plaza, it immediately caused a huge stir.
Residents of Rosenberg were all too familiar with the incident that happened years ago, so the moment they saw Orlando's face, they knew the leading lady in the video was Cornelia. Before long, someone put the incident online. With Cornelia and others pushing behind the scenes, in just over an hour, the video had spread widely on the internet and quickly sparked heated debates.
Soon after, Cornelia received a message from Hannah in Harbor City: "Cornelia, did you catch the Video Incident?”
Cornelia replied, "I saw it."
Hannah said, "Cornelia, I'm just gonna cut to the chase. Don't get mad, but doesn't the leading lady in the video look a lot like you?"
Cornelia answered, "You still recognize me, huh?"
Hannah took a few seconds before responding: "Is that really you?"
Before Cornelia had a chance to reply, her personal and work phones both buzzed with new messages. But she didn't check them immediately and continued to reply to Hannah: "Yes, it's me. I was forced to run away from home because of this incident years ago. Now, it's time to settle the score."
Hannah asked, "What on earth is going on? Who released the video? You should get President Hartley to take action immediately to stop the video from spreading. But, I'm glad that whoever posted the video had some decency and blurred out your face. As long as you don't admit it, no one can confirm it's you."
Cornelia replied, "We released the video ourselves. We did it to get more people to watch, firstly to prove my innocence, and secondly, I hope more girls who have been through what I have can come forward, ensure their own safety and no longer suffer in silence."
