Book 1- Chapter 1
[
Bernard Eaton, the broke loser I dumped, became a tech tycoon.
In a financial interview, the host asked him who he wanted to thank most.
P
He said, “I wanna thank my ex-
His statement caused an uproar.
-girlfriend. Her leaving made me realize that money was the most important thing in the world.”
The furious netizens started doxing me.
A hacker even displayed my Twitter alt account on the big screen.
Looking at the pathetic daily life I shared, Bernard sneered, “So you dumped me just for a life like this?”
But as they scrolled down, they felt off–I seemed to have died.
All my ten farewell videos were reminiscing about the same guy.
I always began my video with, “Bernard, I’ll stop loving you from today on…”
I had always been poor, and getting cancer only made things worse.
On my Twitter alt account, I shared a link about 1 buck for 10 slices of bread, tips about how to taste free food at the supermarket, what time the bakery started inventory clearance at night, and where they dumped it.
I walked as I ate the cake with delicate decorations, holding my phone to shoot the video. “These are all clean. Such a small piece usually costs over 40 dollars. But the taste doesn’t seem much different from that of the cheap ones…”
The audience below the stage burst into laughter.
“If Elisa Sawyer hadn’t abandoned Mr. Eaton, she would be having afternoon tea at Bulgari now.”
“She must be so regretful, but she had only her short–sightedness to blame.”
The host asked Bernard how he felt when he saw his ex’s tragic life.
He took Sierra Gilbert into his arms and spat coldly, “Serves her right.‘
The fans downstage screamed again.
“Mr. Eaton and Sierra are a perfect match. One is the domineering CEO, and the other is a popular rising star. I totally ship them!”
“This world is like a huge novel. Mr. Eaton and Sierra are the main characters, while Elisa is the wicked supporting role who did all sorts of bad things and died a miserable death. Hahahaha.”
I did die a miserable death.
But I didn’t do anything wrong.
If I found money on the street, I would give it back to its owner. And I would help old ladies cross the road.
In these 25 years, the only bad thing I did was ditch Bernard when he was at his poorest.
I didn’t wanna do that, but I couldn’t be his burden.
