Summer said, “After Carmen posted her apology, her followers dropped from eight hundred thousand to just over a hundred thousand. I’m pretty sure a large chunk of those left are fake accounts she bought.
“Not long after, more and more people started coming forward to expose her. They claimed her entire image was fabricated- that she wasn’t actually a wealthy, foreign–educated socialite at all She was just a gold digger with a surgically enhanced face who latched on to rich men. People also came out with stories of how she used her connections to bully others. I don’t know if

stayed on the hot search list for three days straight.”
She took a sip of her black tea and added casually, “This morning, saw her account had been banned. There’s no way she can make a living online anymore.”
Charlotte’s expression remained calm. “She brought this on herself.”
Summer nodded. “Exactly. She was so used to throwing her weigh around that she never thought she’d meet someone she couldn’t push.”
In the middle of their conversation, Charlotte’s phone rang. It
was Mia.
“Mia, what’s wrong?” Charlotte asked as she answered.
Mia’s voice sounded low and subdued. “Lottie, are you busy right now?”
“No.”
“Something happened. Can you come and keep me company?”
“What happened? Where are you? I’ll come right away,” Charlotte said with concern.
Mia gave her an address.
“I’m on my way.”
After hanging up, Charlotte turned to Megan and Summer. “My best friend needs me. I’ll have to go. Let’s meet up again next time.”
“Alright. Bye,” Megan said.
“See you next time,” Summer added with a wave.
When Charlotte left, Summer glanced at Megan. “Have you really gotten over Sean?”
Megan let out a quiet sigh, a trace of sadness flickering in her eyes. “Not completely. After all, I loved him for more than seven
“But I have given up on him. Time will heal years. It takes time to move on.” She took a sip of her coffee and went on, everything.”
“It sounds like you’ve really thought it through,” Summer said. “That’s good. Holding on to someone who will never be yours isn’t healthy. By the way, I have a really good–looking friend. Great background, great looks. Want me to introduce you?”
Megan shook her head with a small, helpless smile. “I’m not thinking about dating right now. If I jump into another relationship before my heart is ready, it wouldn’t be fair to me or to the other person.”
“You’re right,” Summer agreed. “Take your time. You’ll move on eventually.”
Megan lowered her gaze and smiled faintly, saying nothing more
Charlotte soon arrived at lan’s private villa. Mia’s eyes were red, like she had just been crying. She told Charlotte everything that had happened the night before.
Charlotte’s brows drew together, her expression turning serious. “What are you planning to do now?”

Mia’s shoulders slumped in defeat. “Ian said his father agreed to the divorce. All I can do now is wait for it to happen. Their marriage has been dead for years. The only reason they never divorced was because there was too much at stake and too many financial ties to untangle.
“I didn’t expect Ian to be so dependable when it really mattered,” Charlotte said. “For him to agree so quickly to cover his father’s losses after the divorce, especially considering the Quinton family’s wealth and that half of the assets is no small sum, says a lot about how much he cares about you.”
Mia lowered her gaze and pressed her lips together: “I can feel just how much he truly cares for me.”
