Chapter 176 All Over

The lively bonfire came to an end, and the tourists gathered for a group photo before returning to the bus and heading back.

Meanwhile, a black car continued to follow them on the way back.

They arrived back at the hotel at four in the morning.

None of the three of them felt sleepy. As they recalled memories of the northern lights and looked through the photos they took, they chatted joyfully, and their excitement grew.

Charlie picked a few photos and posted them on her Instagram.

In the past, when rumors about Imogen and Troy’s relationship first began circulating, Charlie had spoken up for Imogen and faced a lot of criticism from netizens.

But when Troy clarified the situation, and the narrative turned around, Charlie gained more. followers for her loyalty to her friend.

Of course, there were those who liked to criticize had claimed that Charlie and Imogen weren’t really friends and that Charlie was just using Imogen to gain public recognition. Charlie didn’t pay attention to those comments.

When leaving Oslo, she shared her traveling experiences in Oslo on Instagram, coupled with carefully edited photos.

Some praised the beauty of the northern lights, some shared their travel experiences, and some were filled with envy.

Among the amicable comments, Charlie suddenly noticed something grating.

Charlie contemplated responding and confronting the commenter, but after some thought, she decided to delete the comment instead.

However, Imogen still saw the comment before Charlie managed to delete it.

The three of them stayed up chatting until five in the morning.
