Chapter 293
“What do you mean p>
“Is there someone else, besides Molly’s family, who’s out there trashing you online on purpose?” Sophia was sharp. It didn’t take her long to guess. “Wait, is it Cindy p>
Claire didn’t reply, but Sophia was already convinced.
“I knew it was her. She’s never been able to leave things alone. First, she went online saying you stole her life, that you took her place. Now she’s trying to turn your teammates and future classmates against you? I can’t even tell if it’s Molly who corrupted Cindy, or if Cindy was always like this p>
Claire just laughed it off. “It’s fine. Honestly, they’re living proof of that old saying. Birds of a feather, right p>
She kept chatting with Sophia, her fingers tapping away on her keyboard.
Sophia kept ranting, then suddenly let out a little gasp. “Claire, someone online just exposed the person behind all the drama! It’s Octavia. She actually paid for trolls to go after you. Seriously, how could she do this? Even if you’re not her biological daughter, she still raised you. What does she even get out of paying people to ruin your name? She’s gone way too far. But right now, everyone’s just tearing her apart in the comments. Hang on, let me read you some p>
Sophia scrolled through the posts, reading them out, her voice full of outrage.
“Wow, Claire’s adoptive mom is really something else. Just to protect her real daughter, she’d throw her adopted one under the bus p>
“Who pays trolls to smear their own kid? How scared is she that her adopted daughter might outshine her real one p>
“I heard her real daughter isn’t even that impressive. Not as smart, not as pretty. She calls the adopted one ruthless, but how great could her own kid be p>
“Anyone who wants Claire to lose her scholarship can’t be a decent person p>
The internet was absolutely roasting Cindy and Octavia. People were saying the two of them were equally petty, jealous, and couldn’t stand to see anyone else do well.
Of course, there were a few people who tried to defend them, saying that even though what they did was pretty disgusting, they kind of got where they were coming from. After all hadn’t Claire stolen Cindy
taken her spot as Octavia’s daughter, and enjoyed those eighteen years of benefits? It wasn’t
exactly black and white.
“Claire, you really need to stay away from Cindy and her mom. Those two are nothing but trouble p>
Claire usually didn’t pay much
attention to the mother-daughter
duo, but even she had to admit that Octavia was seriously shady. Did
Octavia really think she could get
away with this online? The troll
agency
alterereceipts Eyeh
Even
if she hadn’t been exposed today, that agency would’ve become a problem for her sooner or later.
Those places are always a disaster waiting to happen.
“Don’t worry about me. As long as they leave me alone, I won’t bother with them. But if they can’t stand to see me happy, I’m not afraid to take them to court p>
Claire wanted Sophia to relax.
Sophia let out a sigh of relief. “That’s what I love about you. You don’t let anyone push you around p>
Claire laughed. “You just like it when people fight back and don’t hold back, right?” “Hehe Sophia giggled.
Meanwhile, Octavia wasn’t having a good day at all. Her son and her husband had both called her, one after the other, both basically telling her off for stirring up trouble. Her husband was a bit more measured but only because the company’s stock price had taken a hit.
