Who’s the Dog Now? novel Chapter 121

Their words left many feeling ashamed. Some admitted their mistakes outright, while others couldn't face the truth and simply slipped away.

In the end, the forum's daily active users didn't decrease, but the number of new posts and replies plummeted. It was clear most people were just lurking.

When Zebulon got the news, Carter was watching him with some concern.

"Are you really okay?"

Zebulon looked exasperated. "Why wouldn't I be?"

Assuming he didn't know the full story, Carter said softly, "Honestly, I think everyone's been a bit too harsh on Naomi lately. This outcome is for the best. Maybe you should be a little nicer to her from now on, what do you think?"

Zebulon shrugged dismissively. "Do I need you to tell me what to do?"

Carter said no more.

After finishing up with his friends, Zebulon was the first to head home.

He logged into his account and immediately saw the post Naomi had made.

It was already a trending topic, the title highlighted in red, like some kind of warning.

Zebulon felt a surge of impatience and was about to close the page when he noticed someone had started a betting pool about him and Naomi.

[Let's have a rational discussion: Do you think Naomi is really over Zebulon?]

Plenty of people were following the thread, but not many were actually placing bets.

The reasoning was unanimous: [There have been too many twists with Naomi lately, so I'm not willing to stake my pride on it. I'll just watch from the sidelines.]

The original poster replied, laughing: [Have you all realized that avoiding the bet is a bet in itself? You don't dare to wager because you've seen it too—Naomi is really over Zebulon.]

As if struck by lightning, Zebulon threw his phone.

It took him a long moment to process what he'd just read. He scrambled to pick up the phone, intending to have the admin ban the accounts spreading rumors, only to find the post had vanished.
