Chapter 8

Author: Beloved Farewell
Under the bewildered stares of Robert and Felix, I slowly reached into my breast pocket and pulled out another phone.

The screen clearly showed it was livestreaming.

I looked straight into the camera and said calmly, "Well, folks—did everyone catch all that? This is their idea of 'talking things out.'"

The cigarette slipped from Robert's fingers and landed on the floor with a faint thud. Every drop of color drained from his face. His lips trembled as he pointed a shaking finger at my phone, b

    I looked at Elly and said emphatically, "Mrs. Proctor, as far as I know, you don't have a job. So, where did these 200 thousand dollars come from? It's dirty money too, isn't it?"If I were to take this money today, I'd be betraying the version of myself you knocked to the ground and mercilessly cyberbullied."My lawyer, Warren Cowan, walked over and handed me a document. "Ms. Flynn, what would you like to claim in terms of damages?"I took the document and outlined two conditions to Warren."One, I want the brand—meaning Robert's company—to fully cooperate with the police investigation. They will make public all evidence of his counterfeiting, fraudulent sales, and gold skimming, and he will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."Two, on top of the compensation mandated by the authorities, I want an official apology pinned to the top of their corporate social media accounts for an entire month."Felix, desperate for a lighter sentence, spilled every last secret he knew

    Under the bewildered stares of Robert and Felix, I slowly reached into my breast pocket and pulled out another phone.The screen clearly showed it was livestreaming.I looked straight into the camera and said calmly, "Well, folks—did everyone catch all that? This is their idea of 'talking things out.'"The cigarette slipped from Robert's fingers and landed on the floor with a faint thud. Every drop of color drained from his face. His lips trembled as he pointed a shaking finger at my phone, but not a single word came out.It had just hit him. Those threats he had made against my parents had already been broadcast to over a million people."Y-You wouldn't dare!" He lunged at me like a man possessed, desperate to snatch the phone from my hand.I took a step back, keeping the camera trained steadily on his rage-contorted face."Robert, did you really think this was some lawless place where you could do whatever you wanted?"The live chat erupted into absolute chaos."Holy shit!

    Felix slammed the phone down hard.I hadn't even set my teacup down when Bethany called in a total panic."Tasha, check the trending topics right now! Those bastards just put you on blast again!"I clicked the link she sent."Unmasking Tasha Flynn—A Career Scammer Preying on Small Businesses with Vicious Tactics!"In the video, I was painted as a calculating, cold-hearted villain. They spun a narrative claiming I had exploited a loophole in the platform's policies to extort a gold bangle from the seller. Then, once I had what I wanted, I weaponized public opinion to destroy a small business the owner had spent over a decade building.My full name, phone number, and even my company's address were posted online, every detail listed with chilling accuracy. And right below it, they'd attached a photoshopped obituary picture of me.The mastermind behind the post was none other than Robert.He painted himself as a hardworking, salt-of-the-earth entrepreneur who'd had everything rippe

    "You stupid bitch! This is all your fault!" Felix roared.I was already braced for it. The instant he lunged at me, I caught his arm, pivoted, and threw him over my shoulder in one clean motion, slamming him onto the ground outside my door.Felix let out a howl of pain, writhing on the ground. I stared down at him coldly, then shut the door with a resounding bang. Through the door, I could still hear Felix and Robert raging and shouting frantic threats. "Tasha, just you wait! This isn't over!"I leaned back against the door, listening to their curses fade down the hallway, and smirked.Not over? Fine by me. I'd see this through with them to the bitter end.I pulled up Temu on my phone and found the listing for their ten-dollar fake gold bangle. Then, I immediately placed an order for a hundred of them. After that, I took the appraisal certificate with its raised embossed seal and placed it side-by-side with the heavy, solid gold bangle. I snapped high-definition photos from

    Robert had threatened me from the get-go, yet he completely ignored Felix standing right there, cursing and threatening me. Clearly, those two were in cahoots.The police officers frowned at me."Ms. Flynn, we received a report alleging you're in possession of property that doesn't belong to you. We ask that you cooperate as we look into the matter."Felix immediately played the victim. "Officers, she's just trying to get away with it! Arrest her now! She took our nine-thousand-dollar gold bangle and refuses to return it! This is fraud!"Under the weight of everyone's gaze, I calmly pulled out my phone and the fake bangle I'd just bought."Officers, here are my order screenshots and a payment record of ten dollars. What I bought was an alloy bangle, and everything is above board. So, tell me, how exactly am I scamming anyone?"Felix snatched the bangle and examined it carefully. Upon discovering that it was indeed a fake, he hurled it onto the floor. "You must've hidden the rea

    I had the jewelry store shop assistant issue an official appraisal certificate for me. Then, I opened Temu and placed a new order for a ten-dollar gold-plated bangle. This time, I specifically paid for expedited local shipping.As soon as the gold-plated bangle arrived, I tucked the real gold bangle away in a secure spot and placed the cheap fake inside the original shipping box. Everything was perfectly in place. All I had to do now was wait. The next morning, my phone rang as expected.On the other end of the line, Felix was clearly trying to suppress his anger, though his tone still carried that insufferable, condescending air. "Hey, you're that buyer from yesterday, right? Listen, we made a mistake. The item we sent you was actually a real gold bangle. Bring it back to the store immediately, you hear me?"It didn't sound like a request; it was a blatant command. I feigned utter confusion. "Oh, really? But what I received was just a ten-dollar gold-plated bangle. The craf
