"Rich people are probably ugly. Who's worried about their ogre husband being stolen? Ms. Miller is young and beautiful—why would she want a married man? Beating her up like this—women attacking women? Get a life, rich ladies!"
Ms. Miller: "Please don't say that. We shouldn't judge their appearance. But they questioned my character without any proof, accused me of seducing their husbands—I'm truly wronged 😢"
"You're too kind, teacher! Everyone, boost this! Otherwise, they'll pay to bury it!"
Ms. Miller: "Thank you, everyone. Thank you 🥺"
The hashtag #PrivateSchoolTeacherAssaulted trended higher.
Liam, who I'd kicked out, also posted a statement saying that even though he was the one who married into my family, I always looked down on him. I was paranoid and suspicious.
This time, just because he defended Ms. Miller, I accused them of having an affair and hired people to attack them.
He couldn't take it anymore and wanted to share my "tyranny" with the world.
"My ex-wife is very wealthy. I was always criticized and yelled at because of my background, but she'd say ‘that's how it is for men who marry up,' so I endured it silently. This time, my daughter stole a snack at school, her teacher scolded her, and my ex-wife wanted her fired. I said our daughter was also wrong, and she decided I was having an affair."
He forced a bitter laugh. "I swear, she's so controlling—she didn't let me work or have friends. How could I ever cheat? But her paranoia took over. She had me beaten and divorced me. Maybe it's for the best."
People felt sorry for him. Comments poured in supporting him.
"Rarely side with men, but I feel for him! This is like the reverse of a poor girl marrying rich—both suffer."
"I can handle a lot, but not letting him have friends? That's too far! Even pets get walked outside! Should he just stay home and raise the kids?"
…
I watched their little drama unfold, annoyed.
I remembered the restaurant said Liam and Ms. Miller had asked for the surveillance footage. They probably wanted to use the video of the parents beating them to fuel the outrage.
Well, I'd help them with that.
That night, footage from the private room was leaked online. It didn't include Ms. Miller's outrageous claims about being the other woman, but it showed us beating Liam and Ms. Miller.
People were furious.
"Who can find out which companies these women own? I'm going to boycott them! How can they get away with this?"
"This is hard to watch. If they hadn't explained first, I'd think Ms. Miller was innocent. They didn't hold back…"
"Isn't the little girl creepy too? She just watched her teacher and dad get beaten without reacting. Her dad begged her, and she did nothing? So cold. Probably takes after her evil mother!"
"Didn't you hear? The little princess called her teacher and dad ‘bad people'! She's twisted. Did you expect her to suddenly grow a conscience and tell her dragon lady mom to stop? Naive!"
