Within hours, the post had gone viral. #JusticeForEmily was trending. Thousands of comments poured in, most of them condemning me."What a psychopath!""Rich people are all the same—they think they can destroy anyone they want.""That poor girl and her baby!"My phone buzzed constantly with calls from reporters, friends, and business associates.When my biological parents saw the post, they were furious."This is outrageous!"
