A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 294

"In the first episode—though I didn't see it myself—I heard you swiped Demi's necklace and never returned it," George said coolly.

"I didn't steal it! I just borrowed it to wear, and then totally forgot to give it back!" Ana retorted, her tone a mix of indignation and exasperation.

"Then, in episode two, we were all supposed to go foraging for herbs together—but you refused to stick with us. Instead, you broke down crying on camera. To avoid making it seem like we were isolating you, the six of us had to split up," George continued.

"I-I..." Ana stammered, at a loss for words. "I was in a bad mood. I just couldn't help it, alright?"

"And still, in episode two, Demi already warned you that those mushrooms were poisonous, but you wouldn't listen. As a result, Thomas got poisoned—and then you used your huge fanbase to incite an online backlash against her!" George accused sharply.

"You're twisting things! I never told any of my fans to cyberbully anyone!" Ana protested, her voice rising in both hurt and anger.

"Then, in episode three, when you couldn't cook, you insisted on taking over. At the supermarket, you went off on your own, so we all ended up having to pay because you forced us to recalculate the bill and rejoin the line!

"Dinner was delayed by at least half an hour because of you—and you only managed to make a few burnt dishes!" George fired on.

"I was trying to help out! What's wrong with that?" Ana's voice suddenly shot up.

"Are you really trying to help, or are you just showing off? You know deep down which it is," George replied icily. His words stung, and once again, Ana's eyes filled with tears.

"And today, in this pouring rain, you threw a tantrum so that everyone had to stand out here getting soaked just to placate you!" George added.

"That's only because some people here don't like me!" Ana shot back, her voice loud with emotion.

"Alright, alright, it's all just petty stuff—let's not fight," Nigel quickly intervened, trying to smooth things over. If anyone didn't know George was a wealthy heir, Nigel would have shut him up and dragged him out on the spot.

Every word George said risked blowing up online and costing him his reputation—though, as an heir, he had plenty of assets to fall back on.

...

Meanwhile, several comments popped up in the comment section.

"George is just too much!"

"How can he attack a girl like that?"

"My heart goes out to Ana!"

"Isn't this what Ana wanted to ask? The game is called "Truth or Dare" for a reason—should George be lying?"

"Every word he said is spot-on! Ana really did all these things!"

"Don't we all make mistakes?"
