That One Item Changed Everything Chapter 9 A Year Later
A year later, I sat in the campus cafe stirring my latte, half-listening to a group of girls gossiping at the next table."Did you hear? That girl from last year—Louisa Carter—her whole family's done for.""That's old news. Her parents sold their house to pay off the million-plus compensation, and it still wasn't enough. They've been hauling bricks at construction sites every day just to survive. I heard both of them collapsed from exhaustion. They're still hospitalized.""For real? Who's paying their medical bills?""No idea. Probably no one. They'll just have to tough it out.""Her younger brother has it even worse. Everyone at his school calls him 'the scammer's brother' or 'the thief's brother'. He eventually couldn't take it anymore and dropped out."Another girl clicked her tongue. "An entire family is ruined. Honestly? Serves them right. She was rotten to the core.""Right? Pretending to be pitiful online when she had the darkest heart.""I heard she's still causing trou

Online outrage only grew worse throughout the day. Louisa seized the momentum and started a livestream. On camera, she cried her heart out, framed by the crumbling mud-brick walls of her old home. "Please… help me. I don't want to go to jail."Gifts and donations flooded across the screen.But just when her performance reached its peak, a new trending topic dropped out of nowhere—'Louisa's True Colors'.When people clicked on it, they found a video posted by my dad's company's official account—a ten-plus-minute compilation of surveillance clips, every second matched with audio.It showed her mocking me in the dorm with that snide, passive-aggressive tone. It played the full recording of her knocking over my bottle of facial essence and cursing me to my face, accusing me of having a sugar daddy."Bet you get tens of thousands a month for living expenses. You have a sugar daddy, don't you? Don't you feel guilty making your folks work their fingers to the bone back on the farm?"The
That One Item Changed Everything Chapter 7 The Poor Girl's Essay
The police arrived quickly. This time, it was the city's criminal investigation unit. The captain stepped out, saw my father, and immediately saluted. "Mr. Leighton."My dad gave a small nod, then pointed at Louisa and at the mess scattered across the ground. "The charges are theft, defamation, and intentional destruction of property. My lawyers will assemble all the evidence and deliver it to the station. Handle it however the law requires.""Yes, sir." The captain answered crisply before motioning to his team. Louisa and the students who had caused the most trouble were taken straight into the police car."Mallory, you'll die a horrible death! I'll get you even if it's the last thing I do!" she screamed, unwilling to accept her fate.…My dad's legal team arrived minutes later. They cataloged everything: recordings, forum screenshots, photographs of the damage, and official valuation reports.The bag that had been stomped on was worth 680 thousand. The skincare products my mo

Louisa stared at me as if she'd just heard the world's greatest joke, then let out a hysterical scream. "No way. You're all being fooled!"She jabbed a finger at me and shouted to everyone around us, "When she enrolled, her family information form said her parents were farmers. Farmers! She's lying—she hired an actor to put on a show!"I looked at her calmly, not even bothered enough to explain. When I enrolled, I'd listed my hometown and invented my parents' occupations because I wanted a quiet life.The students who had been scrambling to snatch my things moments earlier now stood pale as ghosts, each one pushing the gift boxes back toward me."Mallory, I'm so sorry. I didn't know.""I didn't eat any of it. I'm giving it back."My father didn't acknowledge them. He bent down, picked up the trampled scarf, and brushed the dirt away slowly. His voice came out cold enough to freeze the air. "President Weber, my wife has severe joint inflammation in her hands. It took her three f
That One Item Changed Everything Chapter 5 The Alaric Leighton
"Dad, I'm being bullied at school. They stole the birthday gift Mom sent me, threw it on the ground, called it trash, and stepped on it. They slashed your photo and called Mom a mistress—said I'm her daughter."Silence filled the call for three whole seconds before my dad's voice, seething with rage, came through. "Hang in there, Mal. I'm coming right now."Louisa saw me on the phone and assumed I was begging some sugar daddy to rescue me. She bent over laughing. "Yeah, call him! I wanna see this old man. Let everyone admire the bald creep who thinks you're worth keeping."Her words set off another ripple of laughter around us.I hung up without sparing her a glance.…Not even ten minutes later, Wilhelm came tearing toward the dorm building with a whole group of administrators behind him, all of them practically tripping over themselves in their rush to get there. They were out of breath, their suits soaked through with sweat, their faces twisted with fear.Wilhelm saw me and
That One Item Changed Everything Chapter 4 Birthday Box Raided
I recorded every second of Louisa's ranting—the taunts, the singing, all of it.Right as she was getting louder, a video call from my mom popped up. I answered."Mal, happy birthday! I sent you a big package. Did you get it?" My mom's gentle voice flowed through the speaker.Louisa's singing froze instantly.I smiled at the screen. "Not yet, Mom. It should arrive soon.""Good. Your birthday gift is in there, and some snacks too. Share them with your roommates, alright?" She added softly, "Be good while you're away from home. Get along with your classmates."I gave a quiet hum and hung up, and Louisa immediately snorted. "Keep pretending. Mom? Really? Bet that was your sugar daddy!"She was just about to start blasting music again when someone knocked on the door. A deliveryman stood outside holding a box nearly half his height. "Package for Mallory Leighton."Louisa's eyes lit up. Before I could react, she rushed forward and snatched the box from his arms. "I'll take it for her
