Twisted Ties of Love novel Chapter 398

The topic "Ariana Abuses Cats" suddenly popped up at the top of the trending search list.

Ariana rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was hallucinating due to stress, or if her phone was glitching.

Kristin had just mentioned "Izabella Abuses Cats" over the phone. So why was she seeing something different?

Her heart was pounding like a drum, and an intense anxiety was creeping over her. She carefully opened her eyes to look at her phone again. Nothing had changed, except that the popularity of the topic was skyrocketing.

Ariana turned pale and her breath became cold. Even though it wasn't autumn yet, she felt a chill that reminded her of winter. The air she inhaled felt icy, causing a pain in her heart. This cold feeling persisted, seeping down her spine.

What the hell was going on?

Why was that different from what Kristin had told her?

Hadn't Kristin said that Izabella was the one trending? Why was she the one appearing in the hot topics?

Although Ariana knew that abusing cats wasn't illegal, she never wanted anyone to witness her ugly act of animal cruelty.

At this point, Ariana could only hope for the best. Maybe, like Kristin said, there were no surveillance cameras at the dump that could directly prove she had abused the cat.

She took a deep breath and finally summoned the courage to click on the trending topic.

She had thought the trend had been posted by a marketing account, but to her surprise, it was actually had been posted by Casey.

Casey had directly posted a video of Ariana abusing a cat, causing the topic to get even hotter.

Her hands trembling, Ariana clicked on the video, which had already racked up over a hundred million views, with a million comments and ten million likes.

All the major news outlets were pushing the video. Screenshots of Ariana's ferocious face flooded the feeds.

The twenty-minute video showed the entire process of Ariana's abuse of the cat from the cat's perspective. The video started with Ariana holding a pair of pliers.

"You ugly cat, you want to bite me? I'm going to pull out all your teeth, let's see if you can still bite people. You're Izabella's cat, you should blame yourself for having a bad owner!"

A cat's scream erupted from the video, making the viewer's skin crawl and heart ache.

The video was shaky, but it didn't affect the clarity of the images. Even passersby could recognize that this was Ariana and that was her voice.

Many netizens couldn't bear to watch the entire video because it was too brutal.

While it wasn't the first time they heard about people abusing cats, it was the first time many had seen such a complete video of cat abuse, and the abuser was Ariana, who had seven million followers.

After the last incident where Ariana falsely accused Izabella of tampering with the script and her fake Twitter account was exposed, her image was damaged and many of her followers left her. However, many fans still supported her, believing that she had just made a mistake in the heat of the moment and was essentially a good person.

But before two months had passed, her image was damaged again because of this "cat abuse" video.

Ariana's treatment of the cat was extremely cruel. Her actions became increasingly violent and her face was filled with satisfaction.

It was hard to tell from the surveillance video how severely the cat was injured, but just watching her actions was enough to make anyone feel pain. A life was being abused at her whim.

The viewers of this video were diverse, from animal protection organizations and cat lovers to curious onlookers. Many of them had never owned a cat, but they all felt saddened by the video and wished they could step into the video and treat Ariana the same way.

There were such evil people in the world. Ariana's remaining fans were very disappointed. They never thought that the person they had always supported would be so vicious.

There were tens of thousands of comments under the video. At a glance, they were all telling "Ariana to drop dead."

"I really can't believe Ariana would be so vicious! How could she bear to abuse such a small life?"

"In the video, she said she hated Izabella, so she stole Izabella's cat and brutally abused it."

"Izabella didn't hurt her, right? She was blacklisted by the company because of her own actions. If she hadn't framed Izabella and slandered her with a fake account, she wouldn't have put her career on a dead-end. But I never thought Ariana would be so vengeful! Since she couldn't get back at Izabella, she took it out on her cat. Izabella really stepped in a huge pile of shit!"

"Izabella's cat was killed, and she took the cat to the hospital. Yet some heartless marketing accounts accuse her of abusing cats. Do these people have no brains?"

"Ariana's face is too scary; I'm afraid I'll have nightmares. Also, the cat is so pitiful. I can't imagine how it endured so much. I'm heartbroken."

"Ariana doesn't deserve to be a human, calling her an animal is not even an overstatement!"

"Why won't Ariana just die? Why will God let such a vicious person live this long? This kind of person deserves to die!"

"Poor cat, may there be no pain in heaven."

"Why are there no animal protection laws? People like Ariana should suffer the same torment they inflicted on the cat, to see the unforgivable things they've done!"

"Where does Ariana live? I want to send her a bomb!"

"Hell is empty because the devil is on earth."

"As a spectator, it hurts to even watch this. It's hard to imagine how much pain this little kitten endured! Having its teeth pulled out, its skin destroyed, and being burned! I hope the kitten turns into a vengeful ghost and scratches Ariana's face every night, so she won't die a good death."
