"I knew she was like that!"
Chloe posted a dramatic Instagram story,earning heaps of support.
People quickly guessed she meant me.

Her saintly image was rock-solid;no one doubted her for a second.
Plus,with my"mooching makeup"video as precedent—though deleted,some knew the story—it all exploded.
I was now fully branded as"vain,""mistress,"and"selling out for money."
Chloe's self-directed drama escalated with a new video series she postes:"The Unknown Roommate's Dirty Secrets."
It grabbed attention!
Comments begged for more:

"Spill it all out!"
"Who is it?"
"Anyone from her school?I’ll pay for details!"
Several anonymous accounts with the same IP chimed in:

"Who else?Claire Evans from Crestwood U, art major!"
"Her rep's been trash forever."
"Her roommate saw through her,but everyone else fell for her innocent act!"
All the attention she got online fueled her cash flow.
Advertisers flocked, practically throwing money at her.
Chloe became Whale Entertainment's golden girl.
At the company's annual gala,she,the rising influencer,was invited to speak.
In a glamorous gown,her flawless makeup shone.
The big screen showed her massive follower count.
"Thank you all for your support.I'm just an ordinary college student.My success is thanks to my family and friends.Thank you all!"
"Thank you,Whale Entertainment!"
Chloe signed the guestbook with flair,a total celebrity vibe!
"Where's the big boss?"
"He's picking someone up,he’ll be here soon."
Chloe was a master at making conversations and sucking up to people.Within days at the company,her stellar performance earned her a spot on the honor roll.
She even met my dad personally,charming him thoroughly.
Her arrogance,once restrained at school,now ran wild.With her status,she looked down on everyone.
Others,seeing her cozy with the boss,tread carefully,tolerating her attitude.
My dad,unaware of the details of her videos,saw her only as a star employee and funnelled resources her way.
Yet she had the audacity to aim higher!
My company insider tipped me off:Chloe was fawning over my dad,pulling flirty stunts in his office.
I couldn't believe it.
Was there no limit to her shamelessness?
Gross.
Want to hook up with my dad?I'll give you your chance!
The gala ended,and dinner was about to start.
Exquisite dishes arrived,but Chloe had no appetite.
She was waiting for the big boss.
"Chloe's killing it again—top data,top sales!A toast!"
"Here's another!"
Everyone played the game,buttering her up.
Chloe,bold and apprarently felt no shame,soaked up the praise and beamed from ear to ear.
My insider updated me on her every move as I sat in the car.
Dad was driving.
"Where's Mom?"
"She's at a spa with friends,couldn't make it.Just us tonight!"
Fine by me.
I alone was enough to tackle her.
Want to ruin someone's family?I'll shatter your dreams tonight!
