I pushed open the dormitory door, stepped inside, and sat silently at my desk.
What now? Nothing, really.
I couldn't help but feel a twinge of satisfaction. These two had been helping Joshua plot against me for ages, and now karma was finally biting them back.
I had been waiting for this moment for what felt like forever. The harsher their insults, the better I felt.
Zack seemed to notice my smirk and pointed at me while saying contemptuously, "William, don't get too smug! Joshua might be a scammer, but you're no saint either!"
"Right? If Joshua hadn't exposed your true colors, you probably would have scammed more out of us than he did!" Louis chimed in.
I opened a bottle of water, took a sip, and simply watched them. I refused to engage. I was content to sit back and let the mad dogs bark.
I didn't react to their insults, so it was as if their punch had landed on a blanket. I wasn't the culprit here so their focus soon shifted back to Joshua, their main target.
I found their plight amusing. I opened my phone to discover 999 unread messages in our group chat.
I clicked into the group chat. As expected, the messages were even more vicious.
"He swindled all my savings! Now he can't even pay me back a cent! I swear, I'm going to make him pay for this!"
"+1 to that! If he doesn't return my money, I'll make him regret it!"
"@Lina, say something! How much money did that scammer give you? Hurry up and give it back to help him settle his debts!"
"This guy is incredible! A broke student posing as a wealthy heir and fooling everyone, including Tom! They follow his every word and even let him become class monitor and student council president. It's laughable!"
