Emma stayed curled on the ground, crying uncontrollably.As always, Lily knelt beside her and wrapped her in a hug.
Minutes passed.Tears kept coming.
Finally, Lily sighed softly.
"Emma… you have to get up. Stop crying.You still have a chance to turn things around—you can still win Jason back."
Emma wiped her face, sobbing harder.
"How?! He won't even look at me.He's surrounded by women now—lavishing them with villas worth hundreds of millions.He once said he'd give me a villa when he made it big—but he gave them to others instead!"
Her anger spiked again.
"And Megan didn't even open her gate!As if I wasn't good enough to step foot inside. It makes me so mad!"
Lily took her hands seriously.
"It doesn't matter if he has three girlfriends…Maybe he'll have more.""But he pursued you for three years, Emma.That means his true love was always you."
Emma blinked—those words hit something deep inside.
Lily continued:
"Do you remember the 'High-End Female Aesthetics & Social Etiquette Academy' we joined a while ago?""We can ask them for advice!"
Emma's eyes lit up like a flame revived from dying embers.
She immediately pulled out her phone, opened the academy group chat.
At the top, the group owner SugarBelle had just posted a new announcement:
"NEW PREMIUM COURSE:Become the Perfect Woman in 30 Days —Elite Men Will Chase You With Blank Checks."
"Most women reject the concept of being 'objectified.'But embracing strategic femininity gives you power, confidence, and status.Objectification is the means, not the end."
Course 1: High-Value Aesthetic — Fashion, Makeup, PhotoshootsCourse 2: Elegant Behavior — How to Feed Male Ego Without Losing YourselfCourse 3: Signature Talent — Singing, Dancing, Musical Arts…
Emma @SugarBelle:
"I'm targeting a wealthy heir-level man. Which course should I choose?"
Since different types of high-value men required different strategies—CEOs, tech billionaires, local tycoons, celebrities—there were many specialized classes.
The admin SparkleToes responded quickly and sent a link:
"How to Marry Into Wealth & Live Like a Real Duchess"Enrollment Fee: $450
Emma bit her lip.
She had saved up a little, originally to repay Josh… but Josh cut her off and never asked for his money back. So she still had some funds.
But with no current income, spending recklessly terrified her.
Emma typed:
"I previously joined the 'Female Confidence & Social Charm Workshop,'and honestly, it didn't help.Are you sure this course works?"
SparkleToes answered almost immediately:
"That beginner workshop treats men like idiots—that only works on weak men.""Our curriculum teaches real high-society strategy—to become a top-tier socialite who stays in a wealthy marriage.It's completely different.""Do you have a specific target?We can customize a professional plan for you."
Emma swallowed, then typed:
"Yes.He's my college classmate.I don't know his exact net worth,but rumor is he made two billion dollars in a few days recently.He has three girlfriends right now…and he bought each of them a villa worth $100 million."
"But he pursued me for three years first.I stupidly didn't realize he would become rich.I didn't cherish him.Now I want him back…"
Silence.
Every admin stopped replying.
Group members couldn't hold back:
"Girl, this group is for landing real successful men—Not manifesting fantasy princes."
"A college student making billions in days?Come on. At least lie realistically."
"And he chased you for three years?And you rejected him?Then he became a billionaire and found three models???That's not a love story, that's a Netflix drama."
Someone else bluntly replied:
"Wake up.Billionaires don't chase the same girl for three years."
Emma stared at the screen—face flushed from humiliation, heart burning with desperation.
She knew it sounded unbelievable.
But every single word was true.
And that truth…was the cruelest part.
"Girl, if you want to become a high-value woman,you must stop living in a fairytale first."
The comment stung.
Emma's eyes flashed with anger.
"Everything I said is real!Jason really chased me for three years.""He brought me breakfast every morning.""He'd find the most beautiful spot on campus just to watch the sunrise together.""He wrote hundreds of handwritten love letters and folded each into a paper crane.""He planned romantic weekend trips… took me cycling along the coast…""He—he did everything."
The more she spoke, the more disbelief she earned.
"A billionaire simp? Hahaha what a story.""Girl, wake up.""People who make billions don't have time to chase girls around campus.""And for three years? With romantic picnics? That's not a CEO, that's a K-drama boyfriend."
Then someone with the username Melody typed:
"Hold up—what university are you from?Your IP shows Southern California region.I'm at Westbridge School of Music."
Emma panicked. She wasn't good at defending herself—so Lily stepped in:
"Everything she said is true!Her name is Emma, from Westbridge University.The guy who chased her is Jason Carter.""We all thought he was poor back then—he always looked like a broke scholarship kid."
Melody replied:
"Give me a minute… I'll go check the Westbridge forums."
Everyone paused.The chat filled with skeptical emojis.
After several long minutes—
Melody: "HOLY—It's TRUE."
Dozens of notifications erupted.
Melody continued, typing fast:
"I asked around in multiple campus groups.Tons of students know the story.""Jason Carter really pursued Emma for THREE YEARS—no cheating, no break.""He hid his wealth the whole time. Nobody knew.""Then Emma left him for some rich kid named Josh.""Jason finally gave up and stopped pretending to be poor.""Turns out—he's insanely rich."
More messages flooded in:
"He drives a G-Wagon, a Cullinan, a Lamborghini Revuelto,a Maybach S680, and a Bugatti Chiron.""He owns multiple luxury watches: Rolexes, Patek, and a Richard Mille Black Samurai.""He owns several companies too.""Confirmed properties:• Ridgeview Mountain Estate — Villa #6 (~$70M)• Pacific Bay Waterfront Villa (~$200M)And apparently more."
The entire group went wild:
"This can't be real.""SHE is the protagonist of the century?!""A billionaire romantic? Those exist?!""If he chased ME for three years, I would've married him on day one!""Girl, did you rescue the Earth in your past life?!""This hurts my self-esteem."
Melody posted again:
"But that was PAST TENSE."
The chat slowed—everyone reading carefully now.
"Rumor has it…Jason planned a huge birthday surprise for Emma.""But she skipped it…to go sleep with Josh—a guy she just met.""Josh turned out to be a broke nobody.""Emma tried crawling back afterward…but Jason ignored her completely."
Then came the fatal blow:
"So yes…Emma might have saved the whole galaxy once.""But in this life…she threw all her good karma in the trash."
Silence.
Then—
"No offense, but girl… your brain is the problem.""This isn't a dream—it's a tragedy.""You had EVERYTHING…and you chose NOTHING."
Emma stared at the screen—face hot, breath shaky.
The truth wasn't just humiliating.
It was devastating.
