Isabel smiled, emphasizing that they would get married this week.

Then she gave me a meaningful look that seemed to say, "Wait and see."

Unexpectedly, Callum stormed into my school with banners declaring, "Ashley is misbehaving and should be expelled."

I was baffled by his actions after our breakup.

That confusion deepened when the principal called me to his office, looking embarrassed, and informed me that a video of me had gone viral.

After the start of the school year, high school students and teachers were under a lot of pressure. I had been busy preparing lessons and teaching recently and had no time to surf the Internet.

When I opened the video that had gone viral on the Internet, it showed images of me and different males being intimate together.

Netizens condemned my behavior as unworthy of a teacher, insisting I should not educate others.

Although occasionally some people stood up for me, their voices were quickly drowned out.

Some people even sold my so-called "explosive" videos online, and the comment section was filled with people asking for links.

The principal observed my reaction and told Callum that the school would investigate.

Callum slammed the desk, shouting, "What's online is physical evidence, and I'm a witness. Expel her immediately."

I warned Callum, "School is for education. If you have a personal grudge, settle it outside. Don't disrupt students' studies."

Callum ignored me and insisted that the principal expel me and give him an explanation.

He said, "If you don't expel Ashley today, I will use some means to make you step down and let the school close down quickly."

I laughed loudly, "Callum, it is not your turn to decide whether the principal should step down or not, or whether the school should close down or not."

Callum's eyes narrowed dangerously as he accused, "Ashley, is this school owned by your family? The principal hesitates to discipline you. Is there something between you two?"

I couldn't stand it anymore and called security to drag Callum out.

I added lightly, "While the school isn't mine, we did fund many buildings and facilities."

Callum shouted in embarrassment, "What else can you do besides please men and lie?"

During our relationship, he had been with Isabel.

But when he saw those false videos on the Internet, he assumed I had betrayed him and was eager for revenge.

Callum skilled at playing dumb, thinking he was clever.

Upon closer inspection, I realized the so-called "different men" were all the same person.

It turned out to be Isabel disguised as a man.

When I was on vacation before, Callum said he was busy with work, so Isabel often asked me to go shopping.

Isabel said she wanted to change her style occasionally and try different looks.

Then she dressed herself like a man and often went to various places with me.

Most of the clothes she wore as a woman dressed as a man bought for her by me.

Callum occasionally learned about Isabel from me and concluded she came from a wealthy family.

He eagerly asked for an introduction, insisting it would be disrespectful not to meet Isabel.

On the day of our dinner, Isabel changed from men's clothes back into a hot suspender miniskirt that exposed most of her body, adorned with luxury items.

Isabel believed Callum's wealth was a chance for her to elevate her status while trying to tarnish my reputation.

Callum, noticing Isabel's attire and social media updates, became increasingly convinced of her affluent background.

However, the updates that Isabel made on her social media were mostly pictured when she spent time with me.

Both saw themselves as hunters, attempting to gain from one another.

Isabel was skilled at exploiting opportunities, and I later discovered it was she who posted the viral videos through Neo's account, who was a minor.

She held a grudge against me because Tessa said last time that I was a teacher and had more knowledge than her.

She spread rumors about me online and instigated Callum to cause trouble at my school.

Knowing her vanity would compel her to attend, I invited her to a high-end restaurant.

I pushed the menu towards her, "I've already ordered some. Add whatever you want."

She responded condescendingly, "What do you want with me?"

Meanwhile, she discreetly took photos of the restaurant and our meal.

I knew Isabel would update the meal in high-end places on her social media later.

I asked, "Do you think you can spread rumors online without facing consequences?"

Isabel paused, then mocked, "Shouldn't you be in school? Now that you have time to invite me, I guess you've been expelled from school."

I replied, "You stole my boyfriend, pretended to be different men around me, and made me lose my reputation and get expelled from school. Did you achieve your goal?"

Isabel glared at me, her anger barely contained. "Ashley, why do you always take Callum's money to flaunt your generosity while acting like you're helping me? You have a decent job in Tessa's eyes. Of course, I have to take away all these good things."

My job required professionalism, so I kept a low profile.

I treated Isabel as a friend and gave her gifts, but she saw it was me showing off and giving her handouts.

And she always believed these gifts came from Callum's money.

The malice towards women in this world came from all directions.

Wealthy families didn't necessarily need a male heir but could also have a female heir.

Isabel took a deep breath and continued, "But it doesn't matter now. Callum is my legal husband, and I will enjoy the luxurious life you once had."

Before leaving, I warned her, "Don't think you can run riot online without consequences. Everyone must face the repercussions of their actions."

I posted a clarification online, showing the pictures and records of the clothes I bought for Isabel, which matched exactly what she wore in the video.

I authorized my team to release a carefully edited surveillance video from the restaurant, showing the conversation between Isabel and I that day.

A bystander confirmed he was seated nearby and witnessed everything.

Netizens who were watching the incident quickly scolded Isabel.

Those who had been criticizing me online now redirected the accusations toward Isabel.

Isabel used public opinion to hurt me deliberately, but now she was being bitten back.

The overwhelmingly negative public opinion caused Isabel's cowardly boss to fire her directly.

Callum called me angrily, "Because of you, Isabel lost her job and is now depressed. If anything happens to our child, it's your fault."

I replied, "Then you can arrange a new job for her. If you really care so much about her, you can just let her rest at home instead of working."

In a fit of rage, Callum went to that restaurant again and made a scene, making unreasonable demands and insisting they violated Isabel's privacy.

Callum demanded five million dollars in damages or threatened to sue.

That restaurant happened to be my family's business.

When the manager reported to me that Callum was making a scene and demanding compensation, I was shocked.

Despite Callum's outrageous demands, I instructed the manager to pay for it. I had a long-term strategy.

I took a leave of absence from the principal to investigate the manipulation of public opinion.

While inspecting my shopping mall, I noticed a crowd gathering, with many taking videos.

To my surprise, I met Callum and Isabel here again.

Isabel was loudly berating mall staff.

She asked the staff to turn off the WiFi in the entire shopping mall, claiming it would harm her unborn child.

Despite staff's patient explanations, Isabel was so arrogant that she almost poked the staff's nostrils with her fingertips.

She remained aggressive, threatening, "If it affects the life of the fetus, I will make your mall pay for it."

The staff said he had never encountered such a thing and needed to ask his superiors.

The onlookers were discussing the matter one by one.

"You can build a shopping mall by yourself and do whatever you want."

"If you don't use Wi-Fi, others still need to use it. Don't come into the mall if you're worried."

"Did you ever go to school? It is the first time I've heard that WiFi affects the fetus. I'm speechless."

"There's nothing worth passing on with inferior genes like yours. Shame on you."

After hearing what everyone said, Callum, in order to vent Isabel's anger and to show off, took out a wad of cash from his pocket and threw it into the air in the mall.

A few of them happened to fall at Callum's feet, and he crushed them hard with his toes.

Callum cursed, "The last thing I need is money. You poor bastards, shut up and pick it up."
