At that moment, Ana instinctively clutched her head and screamed as another flash of lightning illuminated the room. Right beside her, Alex and Thomas jumped in fright.
The live chat exploded with comments.
"Oh my gosh! Now, it's lightning and thunder again!"
"Someone's swearing lies—even Mother Nature can't stand it!"
"Come on, Demi's fans! It's just raining. Thunder and lightning during a storm is normal!"
"Yeah, it's a coincidence. Do you all celebrate coincidences?"
"Honestly, I'm not a die-hard fan, but this is too eerie!"
"Even if I don't like Ana, that coincidence is unsettling. If every liar got zapped, the skies would never clear!"
"Exactly... though this is pure drama! Ana's going to have nightmares after this!"
Demi's eyes were as cold as ice as she glared at Ana. "Ana, what more do you have to say? I already told you—everyone knows your actions, and you're lying to the heavens. Even the gods can't stand your deceit!"
Ana dropped the hand that had been shielding her head and shouted back, "It's just a coincidence! It's raining outside—thunder and lightning are normal!"
Though a flicker of fear danced in her eyes, she tried to sound confident.
"Then do you dare swear once more, right here?" Demi taunted with a cold laugh.
Before anyone could react, Alex hurried in, trying to calm the situation. "Enough! This is all a misunderstanding—let's drop it."
But Demi wasn't finished. She turned to Alex and sneered, "Oh, so the ones who got hurt get a free pass, huh? Mr. Alex, you claim nothing's wrong, but tell me—what about that protective charm bracelet on your wrist? Can I toss it into my bathroom trash if you let me?"
