Chapter 5

On the weekend, I was resting at home when someone frantically knocked on the door.

My dad opened the door to find our neighbor Mrs. Davis looking anxious.

"Mr. Parker, you need to go see what's happening! Several people are livestreaming at our community entrance, saying your family scammed them out of money and affection!"

I thought to myself, it's finally here.

I immediately opened the livestream app, searched the local area, and quickly found it.

Sienna had found a popular streamer with hundreds of thousands of followers. The host was speaking passionately.

"Everyone, today I'm going to seek justice for this infatuated girl who was scammed out of all her savings!"

In the camera, Sienna looked haggard as she complained.

"Tristan Parker and I dated for half a year. Our relationship was always good, and we were even talking about marriage."

"His family demanded a thirty-thousand-dollar wedding money. We scraped together every penny we had, but after he took the money, he turned on us and blocked me."

Sienna's father was squatting on the ground wiping tears, crying heartbreakingly.

"I'm a single father... those thirty thousand dollars came from selling my hometown house and borrowing from relatives!"

"Now the son-in-law is gone, the house is gone, but the debt remains. We don't even have a place to live anymore! We can't go on!"

Raymond also spoke righteously.

"I've been a matchmaker my whole life. I've never seen such a black-hearted family!"

"I personally watched Sienna hand thirty thousand dollars in cash to Tristan Parker's father. His father was grinning from ear to ear when he took the money!"

The livestream had hundreds of thousands of viewers flooding in, with comments overwhelmingly cursing us.

"Marriage scam! Fraud!" "Expose him! Let him be socially destroyed!" "This kind of person teaches people?"

My dad and I had just walked out of the community entrance when the livestream camera was shoved in our faces.

Sienna's father pointed at me and howled.

"It's him! Everyone please help me make him return the money!"

He then pointed at my dad and cursed viciously.

" You call yourself an educator, but all you do is immoral things!"

For a moment, both the neighbors present and the netizens in the livestream were cursing our family.

"Scammer! Return the money!"

My dad was at a loss, frantically waving his hands.

"We didn't take any money! My son never even dated her!"

The netizens didn't believe him at all. The comments became even more vicious.

"The scammer is still trying to make excuses!" "Playing innocent! The evidence is right here!"

Raymond walked over triumphantly and said to my dad.

"My friend, so many people are watching. You should just return the money. Otherwise, your Tristan will never find anyone willing to marry him!"

I quickly supported my dad. "Dad, don't worry. Let me handle this."

The host came up to me.

"This is the person in question, Tristan Parker. They say you took thirty thousand dollars and then blocked them. What do you have to say? When will you return the money?"

I looked at the camera, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Sienna and her family are making false accusations. They have no evidence. I don't acknowledge it."

Sienna was prepared.

"We gave cash! Raymond is the witness!"

I snorted coldly.

"If you have evidence that you were defrauded of thirty thousand dollars, why didn't you report it to the police?"

I pulled out my phone, found that group chat screenshot, held it up to the livestream camera, and said word by word.

"They have no evidence, but I do!"
