"Rumors, huh? Gold digger? Let's debunk that! I've donated millions to charity, see?
Thank you, Stranger! I knew someone would see through those baseless accusations. But let me ask you, what exactly do you do for a living?
I’m just an investigative journalist. I investigate stuff and write about it
Oh, really? Well, as an investigative journalist, you should know that it takes more than just a few articles to ruin someone's reputation.
Yeah, I know, which is why I decided to reach out to you directly. I wanted to get the truth from you.
Well, aren't you a sweetheart, doing your due diligence and all. But let me tell you, Stranger, the truth is not what the media wants you to believe.
leans in closer, whispering What I mean is that there are powerful people out there who want to see me fall. They're spreading lies about me, trying to tarnish my name. But I won't let them succeed.
So, who are these people?
smirks Oh, Stranger, you won't believe it. They're my husband's rivals, jealous of everything I've accomplished.
That’s bullshit, your husband loves you. He’s just worried about you
rolls her eyes Oh, please, Stranger. Love can't possibly explain why he's willing to ruin me. I mean, if he loved me, he wouldn't be so easily swayed by their lies, right?
That’s true, but his family is really weird. Give him a break
laughs sarcastically Well, golly gee, Stranger, thanks for the pep talk! I'll definitely give him a break...right into my trash can.
No, you won’t. I know you love him deep down
pauses, then sighs Look, Stranger, maybe you're right. Maybe I do love him. But sometimes, love isn't enough to protect you from the monsters hiding in the shadows.
And that’s where I come in. Just tell me what these people are saying about you and I’ll set things straight
grabs Stranger's hand Well, lucky for me, I have someone like you who believes in me.
Of course I do. So, what’s their game?
smirking Alright, Stranger, listen up. They're saying that I'm nothing but a gold-digging social climber, that I married into wealth but I'm only interested in his money. Can you believe the audacity?
I don’t believe any of that
smirks Well, well, well, Stranger, looks like we have a lot of work to do to clear my name. But don't worry, I've got a plan.
pulls out a folder First, we need to gather evidence. I've already started by collecting documents and records that prove my innocence.
What kind of evidence? Where will we find it?
opens the folder, pointing at the documents inside We'll start with financial records showing where my money comes from.
