"What?Did I hear that right?"
"Your dad?Your dad?"
I feigned confusion."Yup.What,we don't look alike or something?"
I leaned close,all affectionate.
Dad played along,waving politely at the camera,all charming and graceful.
Viewers'hearts shattered.
"No way,I ate this drama and it flipped?"
"Don't buy it.She's faking everything!"
"Agreed,dragging some old guy to act?Lame!"
"Gross,calling him dad?Is this some kinky roleplay?"
"Chill down,maybe their just livestreaming to spike things up for, you know, tonight."
A familiar ID popped up,causing chaos immediately.I knew it was her.
Wanna play?I'll play to the end.
I blinked innocently."Huh?What drama?What's fake?What're you guys on about?"
"Look at my family photo with my parents.Aren't we happy?"
I whipped out our family portrait.
The three of us,cozy and smiling—undeniable proof!
I was right in the center,beaming.
Viewers took screenshot like crazy,shouting plot twist!
"No way,she's actually his daughter?!"
"A real family photo?She's not a mistress?!"
"Huge misunderstanding!"
The tide turned.Fans called it epic.
Comments flodded in so fast they blurred.
Some even showered me with gifts,dazzling the screen.
I smiled sweetly and declined any further gifts.
"No gifts,please.I'm just a student,streaming for fun.Please save all your money for something more important"
Viewers weren't fooled—this wasn't just a random livestream.
It was a calculated counterattack,evidence airtight.My dad's presence screamed big shot.
Netizens turned against Chloe so fast that it was unbelievable.
Chloe became a laughingstock,her account was drowned in hate.
She went live too,claiming it was a misunderstanding,but no one bought it.
Slandering a classmate and stirring drama—she lost tens of thousands of followers overnight.
Some demanded she quit beind an Influencer.
I on the other hand cleared my name,earning sympathy and fans.
Days later,Chloe was officially dropped by the agency.
Returning to school,I felt like a war hero.
People rushed to me to apologize,showering me with concern.
I just smiled indifferently.
Why?Others'opinions didn't matter.
Back at the dorm,Chloe,pale,was waiting for me.
She grabbed me,teary-eyed.
"Claire,don't be mad,please.I didn't mean it.I thought you were on a bad path and wanted to help you!Please let me off the hook..."
Onlookers peeked in,intrigued,thinking I was bullying her.
Chloe,now dressed plainly,had lost her swagger.
But that pale face...
She couldn't even powder it properly—as her tears streamed down her face they washed her makeup away.Ridiculous.
Then I spotted a familiar necklace on her.
"Where'd you get that?!"
Her eyes darted."I bought it."
"You bought it?"
I yanked it off—it was the birthday gift my dad gave me!
At my birthday party,I brought it back to the dorm in its gift box.A week later,it vanished.
I had searched everywhere—turns out she stole it!
A global limited edition—she bought it?Where?
I pulled the receipt from the dorm and slapped it in her face."My receipt's here.You say you bought it?Show me yours then!"
