تسجيل الدخولChloe's scandal quickly blew up online and stayed a hot topic for days. Before long, almost everyone on and off campus knew what she'd done.Ryan and Lucas had always thought they were smart, so finding out that Chloe had fooled them both left them furious.Ryan had lost tens of thousands of dollars to her, while Lucas had spent a huge amount of time helping her with schoolwork.Lucas was a proud man. If Chloe had only tricked him into doing her work, he might have let the matter go.But Chloe had also played the victim and spread their private business everywhere. Now the whole campus thought Lucas was a heartless jerk who had used her and dumped her.People whispered about him wherever he went, leaving him embarrassed and angry.Lucas eventually came to complain to me about it. He even asked if I would give him a chance to start over with me."If Chloe hadn't stolen your photos and pretended to be you, and if you and I had met in person first, maybe things would've been different," h
To my surprise, Nathan was waiting for me outside the courthouse."I heard you were in court today," he said. "I came to help, but I didn't expect..."I knew I couldn't keep avoiding the truth forever.I took a deep breath and interrupted him. "You know everything now, don't you? I'm sorry."Nathan blinked. "What are you apologizing for?"Just then, Chloe rushed over. The moment she saw the watch on Nathan's wrist, her eyes widened. "You're Q?"Then she shook her head as realization hit her. "Wait... you're Nathan Ashworth?"Chloe grabbed his sleeve. "Nathan, it's me! Chloe! We talked online! If Ivy hadn't stepped in, you would've been my boyfriend! She stole my project, and now she's trying to ruin me. Please, you have to help me!"Nathan pulled his arm away and quickly turned to me. "Ivy, don't get the wrong idea. There was never anything between Chloe and me! I first noticed you because of your project. Then I saw you working day and night in the lab, and I fell for you. The girl I
I barely remembered how I made it home. Nathan's last words kept repeating in my mind. "I know you still need time, and I'm sure you have your concerns. So I'll wait."Just then, my phone chimed. I checked my bank account and froze. Someone had just deposited $3 million into it.Sender: Nathan Ashworth.Note: This is a gift. I hope it helps with your research.Before I could recover from the shock, another notification appeared. Someone had started a livestream titled: "Ivy Mitchell Stole My AI Project."I opened it and saw Chloe on the screen.Her sweet voice trembled as she pretended to be the victim.She claimed she'd poured her heart and soul into the AI project, only for me to kick her off the team a week before it was finished and steal all the credit. She also accused me of using my looks to steal her boyfriend.The livestream immediately blew up, and the comments were filled with people attacking me.Chloe was clearly pleased with herself. She messaged me from an alternate acco
Whispers immediately broke out around us."What? Who's the prettiest girl on campus going after this time?""So those posts were true! Is her love life actually that messy?"Lucas frowned at the crowd. "Chloe and I already broke up!"But Chloe refused to let it go. "We never would've broken up if Ivy hadn't seduced you!"She glared at me and continued, "And the second we broke up, you went after him! Don't pretend you didn't seduce him!"The more she spoke, the angrier she became. Suddenly, she slapped me across the face. "You shameless tramp!"This time, I wasn't going to let her get away with it.I slapped her back and said coldly, "First, just because a man and a woman talk to each other doesn't mean they're dating. Second, whether you two stay together or break up has nothing to do with me. But you stole my photos and used them to catfish people. I will hold you responsible for that."Without giving her another look, I turned and walked away.The competition was only days away. I d
By the next morning, all the viral posts about me had disappeared from the campus forum.Chloe wasn't having a great time either. I heard she'd been arguing with her online boyfriends every day.The night before, Megan had even texted me. "Ivy, when are you coming back to apologize to Chloe? It's your fault she and Lucas broke up!"I'd been so busy with the project that I hadn't returned to the dorm in days.When I saw her message, I simply replied, "Why should I apologize? She stole my identity. Now that everything has blown up in her face, I'm supposed to say sorry?"Megan quickly replied, "But you're dorm mates! Besides, none of this would've happened if it weren't for you. Can't you just let it go and give Chloe a break?"I stared at the message in disbelief, then blocked her.It wasn't long before Hannah messaged me too. "We're dorm mates! Do you really have to take things this far? Can't you be a little more understanding? Ivy, you're so heartless! Chloe said she'll give you $3,0
I opened the post and saw that the entire campus forum had blown up. Almost every trending topic was about me.The posts claimed that I was being kept by a rich man and had sold myself to a sugar daddy in his fifties.The comments were brutal."Ivy always acts like she's better than everyone else. Turns out she's no better than trash. She'll sleep with anyone who pays enough!""That's disgusting. Why hasn't the school expelled her yet? She has no shame!""If Ivy's willing to do that for money, then what about her project? Maybe she slept with someone to get that too.""Probably! No wonder someone in Dorm 101 is always getting designer gifts. Guess we finally know where they came from!""You guys are only finding out now? Ivy's a total slut. She's been dating several guys at the same time!""I saw her advisor give her a bottle of perfume once. Makes you wonder what was really going on. Tsk. Tsk."The rumors became more ridiculous with every comment I read.My advisor, Professor Eleanor
