Chapter 477
Since I was still relatively immature, I did feel ashamed when Rudy teased me, but then I figured there was no need
to feel ashamed.
I rebuked, "It's normal for younger couples! I'm sure you'll get to experience it when you get married. Wait! I forgot.
You're divorced."
While glaring at me, he said, "Trying to rub salt into my wounds, are you?"
Smiling, I retorted, "Do you regret making fun of me now?"
Rudy ignored me and leisurely continued to lie in the sun with his sunglasses. Then, I habitually took out my phone
to look at the messages on WhatsApp. The newly created group was in an uproar.
Ian asked, 'Could he have sent his message to the wrong chat?'
Kevin replied to Ian, 'How could he have repeatedly made the same mistake?'
Emma revealed, 'He must have done it deliberately."
Then, Tracy put in a good word for Shawn. 'Do you guys think he's that childish?' Then, he added, 'Babe… How
dreadfully sweet of him.'
Diego rebuked, 'You're just jealous.'
Afterward, Tracy didn't reply anymore, and Kevin sent an emoji with a lustful expression to taunt me, 'With Ray's
figure… Shawn must be very lucky!"
Ian replied, 'You've got some guts!'
Kevin replied to that with an 'I don't care' emoji. 'Hahaha. I'm in Finland, so Shawn can't do anything about me!'
His mean attitude is simply infuriating! I thought.
At that moment, Amy appeared in the chat room. 'Kevin, I think you've never experienced what it's like to be with a
woman and it's showing.'
Not willing to surrender to her, Kevin replied, 'And have you experienced being with a man? Amy, you're still young.
There are some things people your age shouldn't know about.'
Amy retorted, 'Are you saying you've experienced being with a man? Oh my gosh! Is Kevin attracted to the same

Kevin replied with a series of ellipses before adding, 'You win.'
Aimes appeared and ordered, 'Shut up.'
Noticing Aimes' appearance, Amy feigned innocence. 'Aimes, just look at Kevin. He's bullying the cute little me!'
Emma couldn't help but reply with a confused emoji, 'Cute little you?'
Ian suddenly replied, 'Yes.'
That instantly rendered Emma, Diego, and Kevin speechless.
Tracy, who had been quiet, replied, 'Amy, don't you feel any shame?'
Amy replied with an innocent emoji, 'You guys continue. I need to be elsewhere. Tracy, just wait until I get my hands
on you.'
I was debating whether I should say something in the group when I saw Shawn leave the group. Then, Kelvin asked
timidly, 'Is Shawn mad?'
He then added Shawn back inside, saying, 'Shawn, I admit my mistake. I was wrong.'
Running into the villa, I grabbed Shawn's phone from his pocket and replied, 'And what have you done wrong?'
However, Kevin played dead and refused to reply.
Diego urged, 'Shawn's asking you a question.'
Kevin complained bitterly, 'I shouldn't have added you into this group.'
He was obviously trying to tug on a tiger's tail.
While I chuckled, Shawn leaned his head over and asked gently, "What are you laughing at? Did someone say
something funny?"
I replied, "I'm teasing Kevin."
Afterward, he turned around to begin searing the steak.
I asked him, "Does Kevin have any embarrassing stories?"
"There was a girl he secretly admired back in high school, but that girl thought he wasn't being serious and rejected
him. He still dwells on that matter."
"Kevin used to like girls?"
"Yes, and he used to have a girlfriend, but Aimes doesn't know about it. I think Kevin is afraid to mention it to Aimes.
Babe, how would you like your steak?"
Since he and Rudy were recuperating and couldn't eat such greasy foods, the steak was entirely mine. While
playing with my phone, I told him, "Medium rare, but I don't have a large appetite."
Shawn continued to cook, and I sent a message in Shawn's tone. 'Kevin, remember the girl you used to like? How is
she doing?'
Kevin sent a shocked emoji. 'What girl? Don't you spout nonsense and frame me for something I didn't do!'
Following that, Aimes sent a smiley emoji.
Amy replied, 'Oh, my, someone's going to get a beating!"
Kevin argued, 'I've never liked any girl! I didn't even have a girlfriend or hold any girl's hand before!'
I continued to use Shawn's tone while replying, 'If so, are you saying that I'm accusing you?'
Since Shawn had never lied or teased anyone, no one would doubt his words. Therefore, Kevin's struggles were
fruitless!
Then, Kevin disappeared while the rest were enjoying the gossip.
Having achieved my goal, I returned Shawn's phone to him. He watched me snicker and asked affectionately, "How
was it?"
"Shawn, let's get Rudy to take the blame."
He raised his eyes to look at me and hummed in confusion.
"I used your WhatsApp to tease Kevin in the group chat. Later, I'll use mine and say that it was all Rudy's doing."
That way, I can let Rudy take all the blame for me.
"Do you think they will believe you?"
Indeed, it wasn't that easy to take Shawn's belongings from him.
I took out his phone from his pocket again and dashed over to Rudy, who was still enjoying the sun. "Hey, can you
help me with something?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRudy opened his eyes. "What is it?"
When I gave him Shawn's phone, he flipped through the content. "Isn't this Shawn's phone? Why did you give it to
me?"
In the meantime, I used my phone to snap a picture before taking back Shawn's phone and returning inside the
villa. Then, I heard his voice from behind me. "Is she okay? Women are crazy."
Just as I returned to the kitchen and was about to return Shawn's phone, I saw a message in the group chat. It was
a selfie of Kevin with a bruised eye.
He sent an angry emoji. "Shawn! How could you spout nonsense and create such rumors? Look at what you did. I
got beaten up by Aimes!"
I used my phone to send a laughing emoji which Emma, Diego, and the others followed suit.
None of them had sent anything to comfort Kevin!
Feeling miserable, Kevin wrote, 'I feel like an outcast.'
Since Kevin had got beaten up, it meant he had received the punishment he deserved, so in order not to affect his
and Aimes' relationship, I sent an innocent emoji while helping Shawn explain the situation, "What Shawn said just
now was fake, because it was not Shawn who sent it! It was Rudy! I was using Shawn's phone to upload pictures
when Rudy snatched the device away and looked through the messages. He thought it was fun to send those
messages!"
After that, I even sent the pictures I took to the group.
The pictures showed Rudy looking through Shawn's phone.
The evidence was sound, so no one doubted my words!
Kevin was delighted. "I knew it. Shawn isn't a gossiper and would never rat anyone out. I knew something was up.
Turned out it was Rudy messing around! As I was saying, how could I not know what I've done before? I said I've
never liked a girl, and I mean it! But Aimes didn't believe me and even punched me!'
It seems like everyone in the group knows about Kevin's sexuality because no one is curious about his and Aimes'
relationship. I think I might be the last one to know about this. Wait! Christopher might not know either, but I don't
think he's interested in such things!
After ranting, Kevin thought something was strange. 'Ray... Why didn't you come out and explain just now? Why did
you wait until I got beaten up before saying anything?"
