"After all, who wouldn't want to see their scummy ex get the karma he deserved for hurting you badly? I would be the first one willing to see you in ruin, Vernon Phoenix Gray."
Vernon sensed that Shailene's hostility was deeply rooted, something he didn't understand.
Of course, he had many enemies in this world. He was a reckless scum when he was in high school and college. He was also a rising businessman who didn't even think twice about tackling the other businessmen away as long as he got what he wanted.
Thus, he made a lot of enemies, but he also proved himself to be a very tough entrepreneur.
But he still didn't understand why Shailene hated him that much. They dated and broke up in university, but that was years ago! Shouldn't she already forgive him at this point?
"Your hostility is over exaggerated, Shailene," Vernon said. "We dated and broke up. It might be a bad break up, but it was years ago, and you should've moved on after all this years."
"I should," Shailene nodded as she agreed with that. "I should've moved on long ago. But I am not going to forget the way you broke up with me, Vernon."
"Uh..." Vernon tried hard to remember how he broke up with Shailene because he didn't remember at all.
He dated and broke up with so many women in the past he didn't even remember most of their faces.
Shailene scoffed, full of irony, as she realized that Vernon didn't even remember how much pain he inflicted with his method of breaking up.
She was also laughing at herself because that meant Vernon didn't even give a single crap about her, nor did she exist in his memory until he was the one in need.
"Oh well, forget it. I don't need you to remember anyway, it's not that important," Shailene said.
"No, please tell me what I did wrong--" Vernon was curious because Shailene's deep-rooted hatred was definitely out of his expectation.
Shailene stared at Vernon, who stared back at her, and she finally took out her phone from her back and then checked on her gallery.
After she found what she was searching for, Shailene shoved her phone screen in front of Vernon and played the video in full volume, making sure that Vernon-- and probably the waiters heard about what was in the video.
Vernon was stunned when he saw himself in the video, fully naked while fucking a random woman in college.
One of his friends seemed to record him while he was clapping that woman's ass.
--
"Yooo! Look what we have here!" the man behind the camera said as he kept recording Vernon and the woman doing the deed.
The sound of the woman groaning and moaning in both pain and pleasure was blasted in full volume, while Vernon only grunted slightly while his lower half kept thrusting back and forth into her pussy.
"Man, save some for me. You're going to make her loose!"
"Oh, I don't fucking care," Vernon said carelessly. "Go find your own bitch to fuck, don't bug me here."
"What-- you sound aggressive, what if I send this video to Shailene? I bet you're going to regret it, hahah!"
"Shailene? Oh-- that woman, yeah, you can send it to her. I don't care," Vernon replied, still concentrating on the woman under him.
"Hahah! Man, you're such an ass! Don't you know that Shailene loves you so much?"
"She refused to do it with me since last month, might as well find another woman," Vernon said. "Urgh, fuck! Her pussy feels so good!"
"Does that mean you're breaking up with her?"
"Huh-- uh... yeah, whatever. You can do her if she's willing," Vernon said.
After that, there was only the sound of Vernon grunting, the woman moaning in pleasure, and the friend jacking off while laughing at Vernon, saying that he would definitely send this video to Shailene.
And he did.
--
Vernon was stunned by his own behavior in the video. He knew that he was scum, but damn that was a different level of being scum.
Though, he would probably still do the same had he not thought about his Big sis Chloe. The vengeful drive to make her taste the pain he experienced stopped him from going too wild. He finally focused on finishing university and starting his own company.
He wouldn't lie that he was still going on to date many rising actresses and even the established ones after working in his business.
But it was nowhere near the one in the video. Vernon was more private with his sexual life after university and fully stopped right after reuniting with Chloe.
"Damn..." Vernon murmured as he kept staring at the phone screen.
"Want me to play it again?"
"No, that's enough," Vernon said. He dodged his gaze to avoid the screen as he found it really painful to watch.
"Heh, it's so easy for you to just dodge your eyes and try to avoid your shitty behavior. But I saved this video that your friend sent years ago. I watched this a few times over the years, so I will know not to fall for a scum like you," Shailene said, directly attacking Vernon in his conscience.
Even he felt really guilty after what he had done to her.
"Uh... why don't you confront me back then?" Vernon asked, thinking he could at least salvage this a little bit.
Surely, he still had something to defend himself, right?
"Confront you? Oh, Vernon, I did," Shailen said coldly. "But you know your response after I asked you to be honest to me? You blatantly said you fucked a new chick the night before, and you blamed me for refusing having sex with you for a whole month."
"Oh my god, Vernon. You called me the wrong name the month before, how am I supposed to feel loved when I know that you have another woman in your heart?"
