“Speaking as the illegitimate daughter?”
“If I’m not mistaken,you’re wrecking my family—shameless and immoral.”
Chloe flushed,my words echoing her accusations against me.
I smirked,turning to leave.
She shouted,“I’m not wrong!Don’t illegitimate kids deserve a normal family?”
“Mom’s right—the unloved one’s the third party!”
“Oh,so slaps are love?James must adore you.”
I ignored her,heading upstairs.
Next day,prepping to return to work,Tom called.
“Sarah,someone posted the lecture video online.Public opinion’s turning against you.”
I checked my phone—top three trending topics were about me:
“Vice Principal Wrecks Student’s Family,Shamed at Public Lecture!”
“Teacher Exposed as Mistress:Humanity’s Fall or Moral Decay?”
“Mistress Forces Wife to Kneel,True Identity Revealed…”
Comments raged:
“This woman’s a vice principal?She probably slept her way to the top. She should be investigated!”
“How dare she be so brazen as a mistress?”
“Her dad’s Secretary Mitchell,education bigwig.Shocking his daughter’s a mistress.”
My dad’s identity had been revealed, and there were calls to report him as well.
Suppressing the trends now would backfire.
I decided to visit the school.
Parents crowded the gate.
“Where’s Sarah Mitchell?Bring her out!”
“Our kids can’t be taught by a mistress!”
The principal calmed them.“We’re taking this seriously.Authorities are investigating,and we’ll provide answers soon.”
I watched from a corner,silently hoping the situation would escalate further.
Keep it up,make it bigger.
After they dispersed,I entered,showing the principal my marriage certificate for a public statement.
He sighed.“You see the mess.Right now,no one will believe you.It's best if you take a leave of absence until the investigation clears your name.”
Before leaving,I found Chloe.
She admitted to posting the video online.
“You think labeling me a mistress will make James divorce me?”
“He’s the one refusing to divorce.If you want to get what you want,find the real problem.”
I pointed her toward the truth,confident she’d take action.
Soon,James went viral.
A blog exposed him for hiding his marriage and seducing a student.
Assuming I was behind the expose,he called to confront me.
I blocked him without answering.
Then Melissa went live online.
With tears streaming down her face, she faced the camera.“Sarah’s not the mistress.I’m the one who destoryed her marriage!”
