LOGINChase was ruined.The video of his public humiliation went viral within hours of the graduation ceremony.Someone had live-streamed the entire disaster. The footage spread across social media platforms at lightning speed.#ChaseExposed was trending by evening.After the graduation ceremony, he quickly became an internet "celebrity" for all the wrong reasons.Memes were made from screenshots of his shocked face. Comments flooded in from strangers mocking his stupidity."Imagine being so broke you attack your sugar mommy.""This guy really thought he could expose an Alpha's daughter.""The second-hand embarrassment is killing me."The humiliation was total and absolute.Not only did the company that had already signed him drop his contract, but every single company he applied to afterward rejected his resume.His future employer called him personally to terminate their agreement."We can't associate our brand with this kind of scandal," the HR director explained coldly.Chase begged. He
"Everyone, please look at this."Chase gestured toward the large projection screen at the back of the stage.Photos began flashing across the big screen.The images appeared one by one in rapid succession. There was Assistant Jason respectfully greeting me, me getting into the luxury car, and that photo I'd posted on social media of the blue sky and white clouds outside Dad's private jet.Chase had clearly been stalking my social media accounts. Chase's finger kept swiping across his phone, controlling the slideshow. Finally stopping on one particular photo.It was the two of us on our first day of college, posing together at the school gates.We looked so young. So innocent. My smile in that photo was genuine.We'd barely taken any photos together in four years - I was surprised he'd dug this one up."Look at this innocent girl," Chase said, pointing at my younger self on screen."I'm Quinn's ex-boyfriend, and as far as I know, Quinn comes from an extremely poor family. She usually
The graduation ceremony was happening as scheduled.As an outstanding graduate, I had to give a speech representing all the graduating students.I nervously gripped my speech, going over it again and again. The paper was slightly wrinkled from my sweaty palms."Honored guests, dear classmates, beloved professors, good morning..."I practiced the opening line under my breath for the tenth time.All these years, to accommodate Chase, I'd turned myself into a completely ordinary girl.Except for my looks, which I couldn't change, I had no other standout qualities.I rarely got chances to showcase myself. Chase always said public speaking would make me look attention-seeking. That I should let him handle important moments.This was my first time giving a speech in front of so many eyes, so naturally I was nervous.My heart was beating fast. My hands felt clammy.While waiting backstage, classmates kept walking past me, shooting curious and questioning looks my way.But after just a moment,
Chase's body went completely rigid.He stood there like he'd lost consciousness, frozen in place. His mouth hung open. His eyes stayed fixed on the spot where the Rolls-Royce had been.The silence stretched on. Anna kept tugging at his arm, but he didn't react.Then he snapped back to reality and started yelling:"That charity fund was set up by anonymous entrepreneurs! Who the hell do you think you are? Renting a car, hiring some actor to put on a show - you think that's gonna fool me?"His voice cracked with hysteria. Students walking nearby stopped to stare."Haha! Busted, right? This car must've cost you a fortune! Do you even have money left for food?"He was laughing now, but it sounded manic. "Dude, whatever she's paying you, I'll double it if you expose her right now!"Chase lunged toward the car, trying to bang on the windows. But Jason stepped in his path.Chase laughed maniacally as he tried to grab Assistant Jason's arm."Come on, man! Just admit it! How much did she pay y
"Mm." I casually handed him my bag, keeping my expression neutral."Thanks for handling everything."Jason took the bag with both hands, and hearing my words, he bowed ninety degrees in panic:"No trouble at all! This is what we're supposed to do."His formal response echoed across the parking lot. The respectful tone was unmistakable. Clear. Undeniable.Behind me, those two had witnessed the whole thing, catching every single word between Jason and me.I could practically feel their shock radiating outward like heat waves.Chase's expression was priceless.The anger hadn't even left his face before shock crashed into it. His jaw dropped. His eyes went wide, darting between Jason, the car, and me.Eyes bulging, mouth hanging open, his already plain face twisted into something unrecognizable."What the fuck?" he whispered under his breath.Anna's face showed nothing but shock and pure jealousy.She glared daggers at my back, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. I could see her me
Chase was getting seriously impatient, glaring at me with pure venom."Every time shit hits the fan, this is what you do. You throw your little princess fit, ignore the actual problem, then dump all the blame on me.""Well guess what? I'm done babying you. That's not my job anymore.""Do whatever the hell you want!""Chase, don't say that. Quinn's a girl, you know."Anna grabbed Chase's arm and pulled out her phone, tapping a few times.My phone pinged with a notification.Anna put on this sickeningly sweet voice:"Quinn, honey, this is a ticket I bought. I was gonna go there by myself, but Chase insisted I come with him instead.""If you really wanna get out and have nowhere else to go, maybe check this place out."I glanced at my phone.It was some tourist spot in New York state.Calling it a tourist spot was generous - more like a glorified park with a couple small hills and a man-made waterfall.Admission was a only three bucks."No thanks."I turned them both down coldly, with jus
