Chapter 2: Linda's Last Mistake
Chapter 2: Linda's Last Mistake
While Ethan's career collapsed downtown, Linda was busy making another mistake.
She went online.
She posted.
And she lied.
"My son's gold-digging wife stole everything from him."
Within hours, friends, relatives, and strangers flooded the comments.
Sympathy poured in.
At first.
Then someone leaked the truth.
The ownership records.
The corporate filings.
The property documents.
The board announcement.
And finally—
The video.
The same video Claire had sent to her attorney.
Millions of views appeared within days.
People watched Linda destroy clothes that weren't hers.
People watched Ethan stand there doing nothing.
The internet was ruthless.
Suddenly, the comments changed.
"You destroyed another woman's property."
"You lied."
"Your son wasn't the provider."
"You both lived off her success."
Linda's phone never stopped ringing.
Friends stopped answering.
Relatives stopped defending her.
Even family members who once worshipped Ethan began distancing themselves.
Then came the final blow.
The luxury apartment Ethan rented after being locked out required a co-signer.
Linda volunteered.
Three months later, after Ethan burned through his savings and failed to find a comparable executive position, the unpaid bills arrived.
And every one of them carried Linda's signature.
