I recovered soon enough and embraced my new single life. I did whatever I wanted and traveled wherever I pleased, often with Vivian by my side.
I had assumed everything was over, but I soon realized I had underestimated Tia’s vanity.
One day, after we landed, Vivian checked her social media feed and frowned. “Miss McPherson, what lunacy do you think Tia is up to now?”
Vivian had been my closest companion lately, helping me immensely with everything.
“Just call me Gina,” I replied casually. “What’s she up to?”
“Premium drama, that’s what!” She passed me her phone. “Look at the clown for yourself. I could die from her stupidity.”
Tia had done her makeup in the typical TikTok girl style. She was crying on camera, recounting my “evil
deeds“.
She claimed she had been in love with Matteo since college, but I had come out of nowhere, gotten in the
way, and torn them apart.
She even prepared an 80–something–page slide presentation, filled with intimate photos of them, including that ridiculous wedding photo she’d tried so hard to use as a point.
Someone with the YouTube username “truthjustice” kept spamming the live comments section:
[No, don’t cry, queen! You don’t deserve this pain!]
[They even had their wedding all planned out! But that skank stole her boyfriend away because she was rich!]
[Tia’s mental health has taken a hit and she lost her job. And still, that skank demands millions of dollars from her!]
Vivian rolled her eyes. “How stupid is Matteo? I can’t believe he gave up a beauty like you to be with this…
wreck.”
As Tia continued to sob, her army of keyboard warriors whipped themselves into a frenzy, attempting to
punish me“.
[The rich just keep on taking from the poor!]
[Maybe she’s hoping you’ll make a video like this! So she can ruin you with this drama!]
[You should sue her for extortion!]

Vivian was livid. Her knuckles whitened from gripping her phone too hard. “She’s got about half a month before her trial, and her thought process is, ‘What if I make YouTube videos stirring up drama?’ This
woman is nuts!

“And these idiots don’t even realize they’re being used like fools!”
“Eh, she can have fun,” I said, taking a sip of my juice. I’m just wondering what she’s really trying to sell.”
Just as I’d expected, she revealed her true motive: selling things.
“I’m just a common person,” she sobbed. “I have no power… no backing… Please, help me!”
Then, she pulled out her luxury items. “These were all gifts from Matteo. I’m hoping to sell them because I really need the money.
“Look. A Hermès handbag in mint condition! It used to cost 40,000 dollars, but you can have it for just 14,000 dollars now!”
Vivian frowned as she examined the bag. “That’s not even a genuine Hermès!”
I nodded.
But the keyboard warriors had no idea. They were so captivated by Tia’s performance that they started bidding for the items. All of them sold within seconds.
“Are these people blind or what?! What happened to not believing everything on the Internet?!” Vivian remarked in disbelief.
Well, none of that mattered when one were high on self–righteousness!
Tia’s popularity skyrocketed. It seemed she was making a fortune in just an hour.
