Betrayal's Wake: Navigating Life After Deception Chapter 1

My boyfriend dumped me after reading my chat records with my dad.

He immediately posted my picture on the Instagram.

Bold and enlarged title, [Exposing a vain and unfilial daughter!! She has only monthly 100 USD but acts like a rich girl!]

The following picture was the screenshots of my chat records with my dad.

[Little darling, your mom is not feeling well. I’m short of money this month, so what about 100 USD this time?]

[Sure, dad. Take good care of mom and work hard. Can you give me 200 USD next month?]

[Sure, my sweetheart. I will definitely give you 200 USD next month.]

As soon as the post was made, I was criticized by everyone.

"Well, is it possible that when we said 100 and 200, there is a suffix of 10,000?"

——

I woke up and my boyfriend dumped me.

I looked at the message he sent breaking up with me, feeling a bit confused.

As he said in the chat records, he didn't expect me to be such a vain woman.

I was completely puzzled. "I'm a vain woman?"

In the six months that I have been dating Timothy Tanner, I paid for meals, dates, and even movie tickets. Where is my vanity?

I messaged Timothy back, "How am I vain? Explain it to me."

The message failed to send and a red exclamation mark appeared.

This was just ridiculous.

I angrily got out of bed. It was ok when we're breaking up, but how could he still try to slander me? And how could my boyfriend of two years turned out to be such a terrible person?

My roommate cautiously peeked out from behind the curtain on the neighboring bed, " "Daisy, you broke up with Timothy?"

"How did you know?"

I saw his Instagram, and he announced his relationship with the beauty of the management department."

Emma Farrell handed me her phone, and there was a picture of Timothy hugging Wendy Holt.

One classmate asked him, "Did you break up with Daisy Perry?"

Timothy replied to him, "But we had never dated before. How could I be interested in such a vain woman? It's because Daisy didn't want to give me up, so please don't talk nonsense and make my girlfriend misunderstand."

I looked at his reply and felt angry.

Emma pulled me to sit down and patted me, saying, "Don't be angry, it's not worth it for such a person. Why did he say you are vain? Did you have words with him?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know the reason. I just woke up and saw the breakup message he sent, saying that I am a vain woman!"

Emma was also puzzled and asked me, "What did you two do last night?"

"Last night, we just had hot pot outside, and everything was fine when we came back."

Men were like this. If they broke up, there would be other girlfriends for them. But Timothy's behavior really disgusted me. It's okay to break up, but he must explain it clearly to me and not try to slander me.

Emma climbed out of bed and said, "Wait for me to wash my face first, I'll go find him with you."

I also got up and went to wash up with her.

When we came back after washing up, my WhatsApp on the bed kept ringing.

I picked it up and saw that someone in the class group had forwarded a post. [Exposing a vain and unfilial daughter!! She has only monthly100 USD but acts like a rich girl.]

I opened the post and saw a screenshot of my chat history with my dad below.

[Little darling, your mom is not feeling well. I’m short of money this month, so what about 100 USD this time?]

[Sure, dad. Take good care of mom and work hard. Can you give me 200 USD next month?]

[Sure, my sweetheart. I will definitely give you 200 USD next month.]Below, Timothy also posted a screenshot of a chat taken out of context.

[Buy whatever I want since I'm not short of money."]

Timothy said below, [It doesn't matter if your family is poor, but being poor and not understanding to appreciate parents and being vain outside, pretending to be rich by borrowing money online, pretending to be a rich second generation is disgusting.]

I thought about it and got angry. At that time, we had just started dating, and Timothy was about to have his birthday. He kept talking about a pair of limited-edition sneakers he liked.

At that time, I said I would give it to him, but Timothy said to me that it was not appropriate to give him shoes worth several thousand dollars on the third day of our relationship, saying that it made him feel like he was deliberately asking for something.

At that time, I was fascinated by his appearance, and several thousand dollars for a pair of sneakers was not expensive for me.

When someone you liked received something he liked, he would be happy, and I was happy too.

Looking at this post, I finally understood why Timothy suddenly mentioned breaking up with me.

Last night, when we finished eating hot pot and were about to pay, I urgently needed to use the restroom, so I gave him my phone.

He must have flipped through my chat history with my dad after paying the bill, so he took a photo and thought I was a poor loser, and that was why he mentioned breaking up with me this morning.

He perfectly mentioned breaking up and also slandered me, trying to establish a high moral character for himself.

Why did he think so highly of himself?

I looked at a bunch of people who didn't understand the truth and insult me.

They were saying that I often wore limited edition clothes and bags, but they might be all fake.

Someone below replied, saying that they saw me getting off a rich old man's car, which indicated that I might find a sugar daddy. This person also attached a photo, which was a photo of the driver at home helping me move my luggage when he sent me to school.

More and more people replied, and everyone seemed to be ignited casually.

Emma coolly replied with her phone to clarify for me, but no one paid attention.

She worriedly looked at me and asked, "Daisy, what should we do? Shall we find the person to delete the post? Timothy Tanner is going too far, he must have received gifts worth at least several hundred thousand USD from you, but now he's doing this to you!"

"More than that. I later gave him a Patek Philippe watch, and it's worth over 400,000 USD."

I took a deep breath and forwarded this post to my lawyer, "Mr. Johnson, I've been slandered, so please help me gather evidence."

"Also, don't tell my parents about this for now and let me handle it first. If the other party apologizes and admits their mistake, then let it go. If not, you can bring up the lawsuit."

After sending the voice message, I took Emma's phone and dialed Timothy's number, and then turned on the recording on my phone.

Timothy impatiently answered the phone, "Hey, what's up? Don't speak for Daisy Perry, or else, I'll find it disgusting!"

I sneered, "Timothy, it's fine if you want to break up, but why did you want to slander me? You're saying that I'm a vain poor guy, but why didn't you say it I was vain when I bought you sneakers and watches? I'll give you half an hour to apologize on the forum!"

"Why should I apologize? Did I say anything wrong? Aren't you a poor guy pretending to be rich? Or you never have a sugar daddy?"

"Daisy Perry, the things you gave me are all fake, right? I threw them all in the trash can! Thinking that I wore those fake goods for so long, I've lost face. I haven't settled the score with you, you bitch, but how did you come to ask me to apologize? For someone like you, everyone should see your true colors!"

After finishing speaking, the call was hung up, leaving only the sound of beep.

Emma was asking, "Did he really throw those things?"

'It's possible. Wasn't Wendy always rumored to be a rich beauty? He's now dating her, and all the fake goods you gave him were treated as fake and thrown away."

I took out my phone and found Charles Worley on WhatsApp, [Hello?][What's up?]

I could already imagine his face, as if someone owed him hundreds of thousands of dollars, with his cold reply.

[Help me pick up some things from the trash can downstairs.]

As I said, I sent pictures of sneakers, clothes, and watches.

Just half one hour after I sent it, Charles's voice message came in, [Daisy Perry, are you crazy? Do you want me to pick things from the trash can?]

When I thought about Charles digging through the trash can, it seemed that he couldn't let go of his pride."

[If it's really not possible, can't you pay someone to help, for example, auntie?]

After about half an hour, he sent me a photo, a supermarket bag, and a few things were inside.

"I sent him a message, [Let the second-hand goods collector come and take them away, but don't let Timothy pick them up again.]

Charles didn't reply to me anymore. I found the invoices for these items I bought, and took screenshots of the chat records where Timothy asked me for gifts on WhatsApp before, and posted a new post.

[How dare you, a fishing boy blame the problem on me? I advise you to be cautious in your words and actions and I have already asked a lawyer to collect evidence.]

And I also put the chat record on and mentioned Timothy.

There was a bunch of people replying soon.

[Come on, why does it feel like Timothy is secretly asking for something?]

[And look at this, they're limited-edition sneakers worth over 200,000 USD, and a watch worth over 300,000 USD?]

[Is it Patek Philippe?]

[I've seen Timothy wearing this watch before.]

[Didn't he say they hadn't been dating before? But how come he received 500,000 USD worth of stuff from Daisy?]

I looked at the replies and went to the lobby of Timothy's dormitory with a loudspeaker I got from the dormitory aunt.

"Timothy Tanner, what a fishing boy, don't play dead. Please check the forum details and return the things!"

"It's okay if you don't return them, but I will have my lawyer sue."

I shouted twice and someone upstairs replied to me, "Timothy is not in the dormitory."

So, I turned around and prepared to leave, but then I saw Wendy and Timothy coming back hand in hand.

Timothy looked at me impatiently and said in a deep voice, "Come on, Daisy Perry, stop bothering me, I already have a girlfriend now."

I sneered, now I felt disgusted just looking at this face.

"Am I bothering you? Am I here to ask you to get back together? Come on, don't flatter yourself. There are plenty of men there, and why do I have to choose you?

"I'm just here to remind you, return the things I gave you!"

"I threw away your pile of fake goods a long time ago, I have never worn fake goods in my life."

After he finished speaking, Emma beside him suddenly laughed, "Timothy, go check the Facebook, every item Daisy gave you has an invoice, they were all bought from the counter, but why did you think they were fake goods?"

Timothy's face changed drastically, but when he thought of the incident involving 100 and 200 USD, he instantly became tough again.200 USD, but how could she afford genuine goods? Don't be ridiculous!

I smiled at him and said, "If you don't return it, my lawyer will contact you, and you can pay me in cash as well"

After I left, someone quickly posted a photo of Timothy digging through the trash can on the forum.

Emma laughed until tears came out.

There was nothing in the trash can, so she posted on the forum, "who stole his things?"

No one responded.

My lawyer copied me on an email, which was a lawyer's letter from her contacting Timothy to return the things.

Before I finished reading the lawyer's letter, Timothy sent me a WhatsApp message.

"Did you pick up the things in the trash can?' he asked.

I didn't reply and just blacklisted him.

Later, I posted another thread on the forum.

[For all those guys who spread rumors about me in Timothy's Building, I have already gathered solid evidence against all of you. If I don't receive your apology letters by tomorrow, we'll meet in court!]
