00:00I saw an anonymous post on Facebook
00:02And now I feel like my girlfriend isn't good enough for me
00:06I'm thinking about breaking up with her
00:09What should I do?
00:11I clicked on it
00:12And the poster was bragging about his merits
00:14Like there was no tomorrow
00:16Hyping every single one up to the max
00:19Landing a job at a top tier business firm
00:22After acing the interview was the main flex
00:25Mentioned non-stop throughout the whole post
00:28And when it came to his girlfriend
00:30The contempt and disdain practically oozed off the screen
00:34My girlfriend is a 5 out of 10 looks wise
00:37She's okay looking
00:39But she's short
00:41And comes from a really ordinary family
00:45She doesn't help my future or career at all
00:48I sneered and shared it with my boyfriend Jackson on a whim
00:53You don't think the same thing do you?
00:55It was just a tease
00:56But he froze on the spot
00:58Not moving a muscle for ages
01:00I narrowed my eyes at the man on the couch
01:03He finally snapped out of his daze
01:05Forcing a sheepish laugh
01:07Of course not babe
01:08I love you more than anything in the world
01:10Twitched the corner of my mouth
01:12And didn't press him further
01:13But a crack of doubt had formed in my heart
01:18Jackson was definitely acting fishy
01:22The more I read this post
01:24The more I see the OP listing every single one of his advantages in great detail
01:28He graduated from a top tier school
01:31Landed a job at a leading company right away
01:34And his boss thinks highly of him
01:38You can practically smell the arrogance between the lines
01:41No matter how hard he tries to hide it
01:43And he disses his girlfriend hard
01:46And he talks about his girlfriend with total disdain
01:49She's not that good looking
01:51Short
01:52Has no connections
01:54And she's no help at all for my future
01:57Ugh
01:57Another jerk who dumps his partner the second he gets a good break
02:01The dim lamplight
02:03I watched his Adam Stuckel bub nervously
02:05After a long while
02:07He forced a stiff smile and said
02:09Absolutely
02:11Guys like this are the worst
02:13Something was seriously off
02:15We'd been together for for three years
02:17I knew every little facial tick of his like the back of my hand
02:21Right now
02:23He looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on
02:25All his fur standing on end
02:28I'm gonna take a shower
02:29He practically fled the couch
02:31Forgetting his phone even in his haste
02:34Once the water started running in the bathroom
02:37I picked up his phone
02:39The screen lit up
02:40And the lock screen was still our couple photo
02:43But the passcode was no longer my birthday
02:46I tried all his usual passcodes
02:48But none worked
02:50My heart sunk little by little
02:53And a woman's intuition pricked at me like a needle
02:58Jackson I took your phone and we're heading back to the room
03:01I grabbed my own phone
03:03Made a new anonymous account
03:05And followed the poster
03:07Pretending to be a random netizen curious for the tea
03:11I commented
03:12You've got it all going for you
03:14Why not just break up with her straight up?
03:17The water in the bathroom stopped
03:19So I quickly put down my phone and pretended to be asleep
03:23Jackson climbed into bed quietly
03:26And seeing that I was asleep
03:28He picked up his phone
03:29In the dark
03:31I heard him click his tongue softly
03:33A moment later
03:34My phone buzzed
03:36The anonymous poster replied to me
03:39I needed a backup before I landed this job
03:41Now she's way out of my league
03:43I'll break up with her when I find someone better
03:45She's just a placeholder for now
03:47I stared at the screen
03:49Feeling my blood run cold
03:51That tone
03:52Those word choices
03:54Even the final period
03:55It was Jackson
03:57No doubt about it
03:58I curled up under the covers
04:00Suddenly feeling like the double bed was enormous and empty
04:04It turned out
04:06While I was planning our future together
04:08He had been treating me like a disposable placeholder
04:12Why do you keep changing your passcode lately?
04:16The company's cracking down on information security
04:18We all have to change our passcodes regularly now
04:21I nodded and didn't press it
04:23But I sneered to myself
04:25Jackson's nitpicking got worse and worse
04:28Don't you think this outfit is a bit too plain?
04:31My call work's girlfriends all dress really nicely
04:33You work so much overtime at that private company
04:37And your salary never goes up
04:41You might as well quit early
04:44When I get a promotion
04:45You can be a stay-at-home wife
04:47And focus on the full family art
04:50But this full-time
04:54A stay-at-home wife?
04:56Yeah
04:57After marriage
04:58A woman's priority is the family
05:00That job of yours is tiring and going nowhere
05:02Why bother with it?
05:05Jackson
05:07You think I'm not good enough for you anymore, don't you?
05:11Iris, why are you being so unreasonable?
05:14I'm only thinking about our future
05:18Do you have any idea how hard this job is?
05:21Winning and dining clients
05:22Writing reports
05:23Keeping the boss's company
05:26By the time I get home
05:27There's not even a hot meal waiting for me
05:31So I should quit my job and be your maid?
05:33I scoffed
05:34My eyes locked on his
05:37Can't you just some slack?
05:39Everything I'm doing is to give us a better life
05:42You're breaking my heart
05:45With that, he grabbed his jacket
05:47And slammed the door on his way out
05:51I sat at the dinner table
05:53Listening to his footsteps fade down the hallway
05:56Then slowly picked up my phone
05:59I opened the voice recorder and saved our entire conversation
06:04After that night, Jackson didn't get home until the wee hours of the morning
06:08He smelled faintly of a perfume that wasn't mine
06:12I pretended to be asleep and listened as he crept quietly to the bathroom
06:17Then put his phone on silent and hid in the toilet texting
06:22The next morning, while he was washing up, I quickly rummaged through his coat
06:27I found a bill from an upscale restaurant
06:29The reservation was made by Zoe
06:33I took a picture and casually hung my coat back up
06:36It's the weekend today
06:37You're not working overtime, aren't you?
06:40I asked softly over breakfast
06:42He didn't even look up from his phone, scrolling away
06:45I have to meet an important client with the boss
06:48I lowered my head and ate my porridge
06:51Trying to hide the cold smile on my lips
06:55As soon as he left the house
06:59I turned on my computer and logged into his WhatsApp account
07:03It was a passcode I'd set for him three years ago
07:06He'd probably gotten open, I still knew it
07:08His chat history was spotless, clearly deleted
07:12I felt something was off
07:13But in his recent call act
07:16A name, Miss Lynn, popped up constantly
07:19Most of the calls taking place during his work hours
07:23I screaveshot it
07:25Then opened his email
07:26Buried among a pile of work emails was a notice from the HR department
07:31Titled
07:32Welcome Zoe to our team
07:36Zoe
07:37I mouthed the name to myself
07:39Few minutes later
07:41I found her photo on an official website
07:43Young, beautiful
07:45And her profile clearly stated
07:48Zoe, junior, the CEO
07:50I awaited a prestigious
07:51Ho-I-A-V-U-Mustery
07:53Perfina gongsta gulsa
07:55I closed the way page
07:56Leaned back in my chair
07:58And let out a long breath
08:00So that's how it was
08:05Jackson had really thought this all through
08:07Playing his cards perfectly
08:09I picked up my phone and texted my best friend
08:12Help me look someone up
08:13Pulled out the floral dress Jackson hated the most
08:16And ironed it carefully
08:18If he wanted to play games
08:20I'd play right along
08:21And I'd play to win
08:22On our third anniversary
08:24I'd even taken the afternoon off work specially
08:26My phone buzzed
08:28And a text from Jackson popped up
08:31Babe, I have to host a surprise inspection team from headquarters
08:34I stared at the screen and couldn't help but sneer
08:36This was the first anniversary we wouldn't spend together
08:39Since we'd been dating
08:40It's fine
08:42Work comes first
08:43I replied
08:44Then clicked on an anonymous forum
08:46Sure enough
08:48A familiar ID had posted just 10 minutes earlier
08:50Tearing the CEO's daughter boost my career
08:52The post had analyzed Zoe's family background and connections
08:56In extremely business resources, status, wealth and power
09:00I scoffed and screenshot the post
09:02Even though the account was anonymous
09:04Jackson would never lose that signature writing style
09:07Fake modicity masking blatant bragging
09:09If my boyfriend was working overtime
09:12Then his girlfriend ought to bring him a late night snack as a sweet surprise, right?
09:18Outside the upscale French restaurant
09:20I sat in a taxi watching Jackson walk in
09:22Impeccably dressed in a suit
09:24He was carrying a bouquet of champagne roses
09:26Clearly on his way to confess his feelings
09:29I said it with an icy expression
09:32After I paid, I got out of the car and followed them
09:35The restaurant was bathed in warm, dim, romantic light
09:37Jackson sat at a window seat
09:39And across from him was a young girl in a white dress
09:42That had to be Zoe
09:43I picked a corner seat and sat with my back to them
09:46Once the waiter left, I quietly pointed my phone camera at them and started recording
09:51I know we don't know each other very well
09:53I fell for you the second I saw you at work
09:57You're nothing like any girl I've ever met
09:59My fingers trembled slightly
10:00Three years ago under the cherry blossom trees on campus
10:03He said the exact same words to me in that exact sickly sweet tone
10:07You're joking
10:08We've only known each other for two weeks
10:10Some people know each other their whole lives and never feel a thing
10:13Others, it's love at first sight
10:15I know my current position isn't good enough for you
10:17But I'll
10:18Sissioned
10:19I'll work my hardest to
10:21I turned off the recording and took a deep breath to calm myself down
10:26Zoe
10:26Just then, Zoe stood up and headed for the restroom
10:30And I followed her right away
10:31The hallway outside the restroom was dimly lit
10:34I pretended to touch up my makeup
10:36But actually I was watching Zoe in the mirror
10:38But she smiled at me and said straight up
10:40You've been following me
10:41What's up?
10:42Mrs. Lynn
10:43Sharp eyes
10:44I said, turning to face her directly
10:46I'm Jackson's girlfriend
10:47Today's our third anniversary
10:49To my surprise
10:50Zoe didn't look shocked or embarrassed at all
10:53She turned off the faucet
10:55Pulled a business card out of her elegant clutch
10:57And handed it to me
10:593pm tomorrow, Peninsula Cafe
11:01I think we have a lot to talk about
11:03I took the card and couldn't help but ask
11:09Meaningful smile
11:11I've met a hundred guys like Jackson
11:14Also
11:15He saw the glare from your phone when you were recording
11:18See you tomorrow
11:19Zoe said, patting my shoulder
11:21Then turned and walked back to the restaurant with perfect poise
11:24Jackson looked so tight it made me winch
11:27Iris, what are you doing here?
11:29A little anniversary surprise
11:31I shook the gift bag in my hand and shot back
11:34Looks like you've got a surprise for me too, huh?
11:37Don't make a scene here
11:38Let's talk outside
11:40I let him drag me out of the restaurant
11:42Jackson let go of me and tugged at his tie imperdently
11:46It's not what it looks like
11:47Then what is it?
11:49You need Champagne Roses to host an inspection team?
11:51You followed me?
11:52Iris, I'm so disappointed in you
11:55So this is all my fault now?
11:57I'm just doing what the boss told me to
11:59The reception team told me to show his daughter around the city
12:02Could I say no?
12:04Do you have any idea how much I sacrificed for this job?
12:07Even whispering sweet nothings to her?
12:09His face froze, he clearly hadn't thought I'd heard that much
12:12His tone softened all of a sudden, and he reached out to hug me
12:16Iris, let me explain
12:18I step back to avoid his arms
12:20Explain what?
12:21How you stood me up on our anniversary to read a suck-up to the boss's daughter?
12:26Jackson's face turned deathly pale
12:30How did you know?
12:32Do you think I should tell her you've had a girlfriend this whole time?
12:35And you're just playing her for a fool?
12:38Iris, calm down
12:39I'm doing all this for our future
12:40That spoiled rich girl has a terrible temper
12:42She smashes things and yells at people for no reason
12:44I'm swallowing my pride to get close to her
12:46Just so I can get a promotion and a raise and give you a better life
12:49If I hadn't seen everything with my own eyes
12:52I would have almost been moved by his fake sincerity
12:55Almost believe single word he said
12:57I paused for a brief moment
12:59Then feigned a casual air
13:00Curling the corners of my mouth as I replied
13:02Is that so?
13:04I lowered my eyes, dodging his attempt to come closer again
13:06I gently but firmly brushed his hand off my shoulder
13:08And said in a soft but clear voice
13:10If that's the case, you won't mind if I meet Zoe tomorrow to catch up, right?
13:14No!
13:15He blurted out
13:16Then realized he'd overreacted
13:18And softened his tone
13:20I mean, she's a spoiled rich girl
13:22What if she hurts you?
13:24Don't worry
13:25I said, straightening my collar that he'd crumpled
13:28I'll keep my cool
13:29As I turned to leave
13:30I could feel Jackson's stare burning into my back
13:33I didn't look back
13:35Just pulled out my phone and sent Zoe a text
13:37See you tomorrow
13:38Also, he said you have a bad temper
13:40And like smashing things
13:43Iris, believe me
13:45I'm only getting close to Zoe for us
13:49What do you mean?
13:51That evening, Jackson had shaken off the panic from the restaurant
13:54And spoke in a deep, sincere voice
13:57Iris, believe me
13:58I put on a doubtful look on purpose
14:01I'm only getting close to Zoe for us
14:05What do you mean?
14:06You have no idea how hard it is to get a promotion in a big company like this
14:10The CEO holds the promotion spots for next year in his hands
14:15All I need is to win Zoe over
14:19So you're using her?
14:21It's all for our future
14:26That spoiled girl has a horrible temper
14:29Yesterday she poured red wine all over a waiter just because he was a little slow with the food
14:34I barely held back a scoff
14:36That lie was so ridiculous it was almost funny
14:38You have no idea how much put up with every single day
14:42He kept up his act
14:43His eyes filled with fake pain and patience
14:45But when I think about giving you a better life, I can take all this crap
14:49Iris, you're the only one I love
14:51As soon as I get that promotion spot, I'll cut tides with that spoiled girl right away, okay?
14:57Okay
14:59I knew you'd understand
15:00You're the best
15:02He smiled in relief and kissed my forehead
15:05Go get some rest
15:06I have to head back to the office to work overtime
15:08As soon as the door closed, I pulled out my phone and texted Zoe
15:12The next day, in a private booth at Peninsula Cafe
15:15Zoe listened to my recording and laughed till she could barely sit up
15:20I poured wine on a trailer?
15:23His storytelling skills are wasted
15:25He should be writing soap operas
15:26Look at this too
15:27I handed her my phone
15:29On the screen was the long message Jackson had sent me the night before
15:32A sobbing tale of how he'd been swallowing his pride
15:35Even making up details about Zoe hitting him
15:38Wow, that's a masterpiece
15:41Zoe whistled
15:42Pulling out her own phone from her bag
15:45Now let's see how he describes you
15:47I took her phone
15:48And on the screen was a WhatsApp message Jackson had sent Zoe
15:52A hick girl?
15:53I went to the same university as he did
15:55And graduated at the top of my class in computer science
15:58Is that what he calls a hick girl?
16:00Zoe rested her chin in her hand
16:02Watching my reaction with amusement
16:04Looks like Jackson's a master of roleplay
16:07To you, he's the devoted boyfriend swallowing his pride for your future
16:11To me, he's the poor gentleman stuck with a clingy ex
16:16What else did he tell you?
16:17I asked her
16:18And she looked at me with a smile
16:20I asked her
16:21So much garbage
16:22Like how you chased him for three years and wouldn't take no for an answer
16:26How you show up at his office to stalk him all the time
16:29And the most ridiculous one is
16:32He said
16:33You have mild schizophrenia
16:35So he's cared to break up with you directly
16:37She burst out laugh again
16:39I took a deep breath
16:41Zoe, are you interested in collaborating?
16:44Zoe's eyes lit up
16:46And she raised her coffee cup to clink it against mine
16:49Honestly, I've been waiting for you to say that
16:52For the next two hours
16:54We shared every single piece of information we had on Jackson
16:59Jackson didn't know was that Zoe had already seen his file from her dad
17:03Including his dirty little secret of dating three girls at the same time in college
17:08Too much trouble
17:09It'll be way more fun to send him viral for social death instead
17:14The next day
17:15I was sitting at my desk at work
17:19Staring at the message Jackson had sent me on my computer
17:23This was the third time he'd worked overtime that week
17:27Since Zoe and I teamed up, she'd been giving Jackson just enough hope to string him along
17:32Replying to his messages every now and then agreeing to a random lunch or two
17:35And Jackson, like a dog who'd caught a whiff of a bone was diving headfirst into the trap
17:40No hesitation at all
17:41Iris, is the proposal ready?
17:44My manager's voice suddenly came from behind me
17:47I quickly locked my screen and turned around
17:50Almost done, just one final check
17:53By 8pm, I was the only one left in the office
17:56Just as I was saving the last file, the screen suddenly went blue
18:01Subsequently, all the documents vanished without a trace
18:04What the hell?
18:05I muttered, slamming my fingers on the keyboard
18:08Cold sweat breaking out on my back
18:10The deadline to present the proposal to the client was tomorrow
18:15I heard a faint rustle at the door
18:17I spun around
18:19And caught a glimpse of Jackson's figure darting away
18:22I hung my head
18:24Digging my nails into my palm
18:27I'm so sorry
18:28Are you going to cover the company's losses?
18:32Pack your things
18:33Wait for the disciplinary notice
18:35A colleague from the IT department shook his head helplessly the next day
18:39Looks like a virus
18:41We can't recover the files
18:43My manager's face was stormy
18:45Iris, do you have any idea how important this client is?
18:48I walked out of the meeting room and saw Jackson walking in to find me, right on Cuse
18:53He put an arm around my shoulder, looking concerned
18:56What's wrong? You look terrible
18:58I fought the urge to slap him across the face, leaned into his shoulder, and pretended to sob
19:03All the proposal files are gone
19:05The company might fire me
19:06That crummy job wasn't worth keeping anyway
19:09It's the perfect time to take a break
19:11I'll take care of you
19:12Really?
19:17Really?
19:19Of course
19:22But
19:24We have a big company party coming up soon
19:26The CO's going to be there too
19:29You've been so upset lately
19:31Don't come, okay?
19:34I nodded obediently, sneering to myself
19:37His big company party was just the stage he'd picked to confess to Zoe in front of everyone
19:42That night, I met Zoe at her house
19:45She hopped down the stairs in her pajamas, yelling
19:47Dad, stop looking so guilty
19:49Iris is not someone you can push around
19:52My dad's going to be at the party in person
19:55We need to let Jackson put on his whole show first
19:58Then expose him in front of everyone
20:00Guess what he asked my dad for today?
20:03What?
20:03The right to host the party
20:05Said he's got an important announcement to make
20:08Zoe's dad and I exchanged a look
20:10And both shook our heads
20:12The lead actor of this show was chomping at the beat to get on stage
20:16On the day of the party, I snuck into the hotel ballroom half an hour early
20:20Jackson was in a crisp tailored suit
20:23His eyes darting to the door every two seconds
20:25Obviously waiting for Zoe to show up
20:27Nervous?
20:28Zoe said
20:29Appearing at my side out of nowhere
20:31I shook my head
20:32Pulled out my phone from my bag
20:34And checked the voice recorder
20:35All the gear ready?
20:37She winked mistuously
20:39Don't worry
20:40Just follow my lead later
20:41When the CEO went up on stage to give a speech
20:44Jackson stood at the side of the stage
20:46Like a peacock ready to show off its weathers at any second
20:51I turned on my phone's camera and pointed it at the stage
20:54Next up, let's welcome Jackson to perform for us
20:57The host's announcement made Jackson freeze
20:59This was clearly not part of his plan
21:01I want to take this chance to say something to someone special
21:04From the second I first saw you, I knew you were the one for me
21:08I know some people have been spreading rumors that I have a girlfriend
21:14Jackson's face suddenly turned pained
21:16But that's just a clingy old classmate
21:19I never had the heart to reject her outright
21:22Out of pity
21:23Is that she's a clingy old classmate
21:25This is it
21:26I shot to my feet and walked onto the stage
21:29Jackson, who the hell are you calling a clingy old classmate?
21:32The room erupted in an uproar
21:34Jackson's face turned deathly pale
21:36And his ragged breathing blared through the microphone
21:38Iris?
21:39What are you-
21:40He composed himself quickly, putting on a helpless expression
21:43Sorry everyone, this is the girl I was talking about
21:45A friend who's a little emotionally unstable
21:47Don't rush it
21:48Let everyone hear this
21:50I was getting close-
21:51I pulling out my phone and playing the recording of him in the taxi
21:54Saying he was getting close to Zoe for our future
21:58Jackson's voice boomed clearly through the ballroom
22:01That spoiled rich girl has a terrible temper
22:04I'm swallowing my pride to get close to her
22:06Just so I can get a promotion and a raise
22:09And give you a better life
22:10The room exploded in shock
22:12Jackson lunged at me to grab my phone
22:15Hey!
22:16But the CEO stepped in and stopped him
22:18Zoe suddenly stood up, putting on an Oscar-wearing performance
22:22He-
22:24He told me she was the one clinging to him
22:27She said, covering her face and sobbing as she ran out of the ballroom
22:31I stood at the edge of the stage, watching Jackson's ashen face
22:35His eyes scanned the room, meeting nothing but contempt
22:38Then locked on me, his expression turning vicious
22:41Iris, you set me up, didn't you?
22:44Set you up?
22:46Aren't these all the things you did yourself?
22:49He lunged at me again, but was held back by security
22:52As he struggled, his suit tore, his hair became a mess
22:56He looked nothing like the polished elite he pretended to be
23:00Iris, you'll pay for this!
23:01He screamed hysterically as he was dragged out of the room
23:09I stared at myself in the mirror, suddenly remembering how Jackson once mocked me for only being able to afford
23:16Ford cheap makeup
23:17They only deserve to use cheap cosmetics
23:20Zoe, tell me, which will hurt him more?
23:23Social death or actual jail time?
23:26Kids have to choose
23:28We're gonna make him experience both
23:30Three days after the party, I was at home packing my bags for my trip abroad when Zoe's phone call
23:36came in out of the blue
23:38Hey
23:39Check the Weibo trending page right now
23:42I opened the trending list and two topics were right at the top
23:45Dumping your partner the second you get a good job and a classic example of a social climber
23:50I clicked in and the video of Jackson being dragged out of the company party had gone viral all over
23:54the internet
23:55The top liked comment read, should be used as a negative example in every textbook
24:00Did you do this?
24:01I asked Zoe, laughing
24:02Nope, not me
24:04An intern who was there posted it
24:06But
24:07She paused
24:08I did anonymously send screenshots of his forum posts to a few big influencers
24:13I scrolled through all the dug up posts
24:15From my girlfriend isn't good enough for me to how to dutch a hick girl
24:18Every single one of Jackson's disgusting comments was saved as a screenshot
24:22A netizen even made a long comparison chart
24:25Putting his posts bragging about being the CEO's future son-in-law next to his chat logs
24:29Crying about being forced to socialize with the caption
24:31A modern master of changing faces
24:34My phone suddenly vibrated
24:36And Jackson's name popped up on the screen
24:38He's calling again?
24:40Yeah
24:40I'll just block him
24:42Don't
24:43Answer it
24:44And turn on the recorder
24:45We might get more dirt on him
24:47I pressed the answer button
24:48And the record button
24:49And spoke in a deliberately hoarse voice
24:52Hello?
24:53Jackson's voice was choked with sobs
24:56You finally answered
24:58I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
25:00I was crazy to post those things
25:03I lost my mind
25:04So what?
25:06I asked coldly
25:08Whole internet is attacking me
25:11And the company has suspended me
25:13He said
25:13His voice shaking
25:15Please help me
25:16Post a statement saying it's all a misunderstanding
25:19I almost laughed out loud
25:22A misunderstanding?
25:24Your plan to dump me for a rich girl is a misunderstanding?
25:28Jackson's tone turned cold and vicious
25:31I have your photos, O's, on my phone
25:34Believe me or not
25:35I'll post them online
25:38I'd been ready for this
25:40Oh?
25:41You mean the one you secretly took on my birthday last winter?
25:44He froze
25:46Shocked
25:47How
25:47How did you know?
25:50Because I found it and deleted it that same night
25:53By the way
25:53I've recorded what you just said
25:56Don't forget to familiarize yourself with the Texas Penal Code
26:00I heard the sound of something smashing
26:02And Jackson's furious crazes from the other end of the line
26:06I hung up the phone calmly
26:08And sent the recording to Zoe
26:10Ten minutes later
26:11I received a message from Zoe
26:13The message read
26:14Oh my god
26:15His colleagues exposed that he embezzled company funds to buy luxury goods
26:18I clicked the link she sent me
26:20It was an anonymous post listing every luxury item Jackson had bought with company money
26:26With photos as proof
26:28The most ironic part
26:30A Hermes belt was marked for Arthur
26:32And Zoe had just told me her dad never accepts gifts from anyone
26:36Jackson's ID photo was made into all kinds of memes
26:40And the hashtag
26:42Jackson Get Out
26:43Had over 100 million views
26:46Zoe sent another message
26:48My dad said he'll never get into that company in his entire life
26:51The phone rang
26:52It was Jackson's mother
26:54And I could hear her screaming and crying through the line
26:57You jinx
26:58You ruined my son's life
27:00Do you know how much money we spent raising him?
27:02I didn't care at all
27:04I just thought it was funny
27:05He got exactly what he deserved
27:07I just hung up
27:09And blocked that number too
27:10The sun shining bright outside
27:13I smiled and locked my phone
27:15Last big show before I leave the country
27:17About to kick off
27:19In the coffee shop downstairs from my company
27:21I was going over the final handover details with my manager
27:24In two days I'd be flying to Mexico for a six month overseas training program
27:29Iris
27:30The company actually appreciates your way of handling crisis
27:34This is a special bonus approved by the headquarters
27:36For redoing the client proposal
27:37In just 48 hours after the files were lost
27:39I was about to thank him when the glass door of the coffee shop slammed open
27:43Jackson ran in
27:44Unshaven and a mess
27:46His eyes locked on me like a predator
27:48His voice was haunsy
27:49Drawing stares from all the other customers
27:52Sir
27:53It's all her fault
27:54She begged me to take her back
27:56I said no
27:56So she made up lies and framed me
27:58The coffee shop went dead silent
28:00I took a calm sip of my coffee
28:02Opened my phone's photo album
28:04And said
28:04Jackson
28:05This is the surveillance footage of you tampling with my computer that day
28:08Do you want me to play it for everyone here?
28:10How did she get that?
28:11She can't be serious
28:12And this?
28:13I said playing the recording of threatening to post my intimate photos online
28:16The looks on the other customers' faces turned from curiosity to pure contempt
28:19Jackson's face turned purple
28:20The looks on the other customers' faces turned from curiosity to pure contempt
28:23Jackson's face turned purple with rage
28:25And he suddenly grabbed a coffee cup from the table and threw it at me
28:27My manager reacted fast
28:29Holding up a folder to block it
28:30And all the hot coffee splashed all over Jackson instead
28:33Security
28:35Doubt
28:36Iris, I'll never let you get away with this
28:38You wait and see
28:39Sorry you had to witness this farce
28:42I said to my manager, smiling apologetically
28:45The company will be stepping up security
28:47Headquarters places great value on your ability to gather evidence
28:50Once your training is complete
28:52They are considering transferring you to the Risk Manimitch department
28:55I walked out of the coffee shop
28:57And Zoe's sports car was parked right by the side of the road
29:01She rolled down the window
29:02Wasn't that a show?
29:04I just came from my dad's office
29:06Got even better news for you
29:10Jackson's parents came from their hometown
29:12They're screaming and crying at the gate of his old company
29:15And they let it slip that all the money he sent home every month was embezzled
29:20I'm dying of laughter
29:21His parents thought their son had been framed by his colleagues
29:24So they stormed over to his workplace demanding an explanation
29:27Only to end up spilling the beans about how he used company funds to buy a house for the family
29:32By the way, what time's your flight tomorrow?
29:35My dad said he'll send a car to take you to the airport
29:37No need, I already booked a car
29:39Can you keep an eye on Jackson's trial for me?
29:41Do you six months for me?
29:44You bet I will
29:45I'll go to the trial and give you a live play-by-pray
29:49When I got home, I checked my luggage one last time
29:52A photo of Jackson and me was on the nightstand
29:56I picked it up
29:57Tore it in half
29:58And put the half with just me in my wallet
30:01Three years of love and all that was left was a flimsy half a photo
30:05But I didn't feel the heartbreak I thought I would
30:07Instead, I felt free
30:08Like I'd finally gotten a fishbone stuck in my throat for years
30:11My phone screen lit up with a message from Zoe
30:14Just heard Jackson's education background is fake
30:17He didn't even graduate a jubilee at all
30:20I'll go dig up the first-hand evidence from the archives tomorrow
30:24You'll have a subterfugation when you come back
30:27I smiled and turned off the light
30:29Tomorrow would be a brand new day
30:31In the coffee shop in the airport's departure hall
30:34Zoe pushed a small gift box toward me
30:36A going-away present
30:37Open it when you get to Mexico
30:39I touched the box tied with a silver ribbon
30:41And my eyes suddenly felt a little wet
30:43A month ago, we were complete strangers
30:45Now we were best friends who could talk about anything
30:48I stirred my coffee and said
30:50Zoe, I've been meaning to ask
30:52How did you recognize me right away in the restaurant bathroom that day?
30:56Zoe rested her chin in her hand and gave me a mischievous smile
31:00Because I saw your photo on Jackson's phone
31:03Along with all his disgusting messages about you
31:06She recalled
31:07The first time he asked me out to dinner
31:09His phone lit up briefly on the table
31:11I glimpsed the lock screen and saw a girl in a blue dress
31:14So I recognized you immediately at the restaurant that day
31:17I shook my head with a way smile
31:19It turned out Jackson's lie was exposed
31:22Because he'd already given himself away early on
31:26I knew then that a man who could belittle his girlfriend like that
31:30Was definitely not a good person
31:32The boarding announcement came over the loudspeaker
31:34Zoe suddenly leaned in, grinning mischuously
31:37By the way, my cousin's a professor
31:39At the National Autonomous University of Mexico
31:4232-61
31:44Do you want me to?
31:45Stop right there
31:46Right now I just want to focus on my work and improving myself
31:52Fine, fine, she rolled her eyes
31:54Future female CEO in the making
31:57As I lined up for security
31:59I looked back at Zoe
32:00Who was still waving at me
32:05Before the plane took off
32:06I opened my laptop and clicked send on an anonymous article
32:09The article detailed the entire process
32:11From finding that anonymous post to Jackson's downfall
32:14With all real names and details blurried out
32:16The title was simple
32:17How I saw through a social climber's true colors
32:20Before I turned off my laptop
32:21I saw the article already had over a thousand views
32:24And the comment section was blowing up
32:27People were sharing their similar experiences
32:29Analyzing the psychology of social climbers
32:32And many women left comments saying thanks for the warning
32:35A flight attendant reminded everyone to turn off their electronic devices
32:40I leaned against the window
32:42Watching the city beneath the clouds get smaller and smaller
32:47A month ago I was stuck in a toxic relationship
32:50Thinking losing Jackson would be the end of the world
32:53Now I was on a plane to a foreign country
32:56About to start a whole new chapter in my career
32:58The plane flew through the clouds
33:01And I opened Zoe's gift
33:02Inside were a pair of delicate butterfly earrings
33:05And a card
33:06Break out of your cocoon and spread your wings
33:08Wishing you a bright future
33:10Remember, you've got a sister in Mexico
33:13Who's always got your back
33:14The earrings sparkled in the sunlight
33:17Just like my mood right then
33:20The plane climbed higher and higher
33:22Carrying me toward a brand new life
33:26When the plane landed at Mexico City International Airport
33:30The afternoon sun was blazing
33:33I pulled my suitcase out of the terminal
33:35And a warm, humid wave of air hit me
33:38My phone buzzed
33:39And a message from Zoe arrived right on time
33:43Made it?
33:44My cousin's at the exit holding a skine for you
33:46He's the one with the gold-rimmed glasses
33:48I looked up and sure enough
33:50Spotted a tall, lean figure in the crowd of greeters
33:53He held a sign with my name on it
33:54Exuding a refined, gentle aura
33:56Iris?
33:57Yes
33:58I'm Miles, Zoe's cousin
34:00He smiled as he took my suitcase
34:02So much, Professor Miles
34:03Just call me Miles
34:05Leading me toward the parking lot in my head
34:07Zoe gave me a hundred reminders
34:10To get you to your apartment safely
34:14In the car, Miles gave me a quick rundown
34:17Of Mexico's customs and culture
34:19He spoke in a clear, measured tone
34:23Making every conversation with him
34:26Feel easy and pleasant
34:27The training center's near the university
34:30And I've already got an apartment sorted for you
34:32It's got your class schedule
34:33And a local life guide
34:35I made an extra copy just for you
34:37I took the folded
34:38A warm feeling welling up in my chest
34:41Zoe mentioned that you're quite impressive
34:43You might be transferred to the risk management department
34:46After your six-month training period
34:48Our university's business school
34:50Has a collaborative program with your company
34:52Perhaps we'll have the opportunity
34:54To connect sometime
34:55That'd be amazing
34:57The apartment was even better than I'd imagined
35:00A bright, clean one-bedroom with a living room
35:03Every window sparkling clear
35:06Miles helped me carry my luggage upstairs
35:08Then took his leave politely
35:10Call me anytime if you need anything
35:12I dare not disobey Zoe's orders
35:14I closed the door
35:16Stood in the middle of the living room
35:18And took a deep breath
35:19A new life
35:20This was really it
35:22The training program started
35:24The very next day
35:25The class was full of students
35:28From all over the world
35:29Every single one of them
35:31With a clear goal in mind
35:32The intense course quirk
35:34Left me with barely any time
35:36To dwell on the past
35:39It wasn't until the weekend a week later
35:41That I finally had a moment
35:43To sit down and sort out my thoughts
35:45On my phone
35:46Zoe sent the latest update
35:47Jackson's trial is next month
35:50His parents are still running around
35:52Trying to pull strings
35:53Hilarious
35:54Who'd even dare to help them
35:56Also
35:56The article you posted blew up
35:58Lots of media outlets want to interview
36:01The anonymous author
36:02But I've turned them all down for you
36:05I replied with a thankful emoji
36:08In the case analysis class the second week
36:10The professor assigned group work
36:12I was paired with Raj from India
36:14And Emily from the US
36:15We had to analyze a case of a failed merger
36:18By a multinational corporation
36:20I think the problem was the risk control department
36:22They ignored the target company's hidden debts
36:25But the management's blind overconfidence
36:28Was the main cause too
36:29I paged through the materials carefully
36:32And the whole Jackson incident
36:33Popped into my mind out of nowhere
36:35Actually the biggest risk
36:37Is almost always people
36:39Did the company's executives
36:40Let personal emotions and ambition
36:43Clouter their judgment
36:44When making this decision
36:45Like pushing for an irrational merger
36:47Just to prove their own capabilities
36:48Or hiding key information for personal gain
36:51Iris is right
36:52Risk control isn't just a numbers game
36:55It's a game of human nature
36:56After class
36:58Emily caught up with me
36:59Your insight earlier was really profound
37:01Have you had a similar experience before?
37:04You could say that
37:06I've seen a few things
37:07Met a few people
37:08On the weekend
37:09Miles invited me out
37:11For some local food
37:12We showed up at a restaurant
37:15How are you adjusting to the training?
37:17It's great
37:18Just a little fast paced
37:20Zoe told me you had some trouble
37:22With a relationship before
37:23Have you moved on now?
37:26I have
37:27Sometimes leaving a relationship
37:29Is like taking off a blindfold
37:31That's been covering your eyes for years
37:34Yeah
37:34I can imagine
37:35You suddenly realize
37:37How big the world really is
37:39Actually
37:39I ended a long-term relationship
37:41Two years ago too
37:43I thought my world
37:45Was falling apart back then
37:46But looking back
37:47It was fate
37:48Giving me a second chance
37:50By the third week
37:51Company executives
37:52Came to inspect
37:53The training program
37:54And one of them
37:56Was the vice president
37:57Royal
37:58When it was time
37:58For our case analysis presentation
38:00I stood on stage
38:02On behalf of our group
38:03We believe
38:04The core reason
38:05For this merger's failure
38:06Was human risk
38:07Royal agreed with my views
38:09A great deal
38:10After the presentation
38:11She made a point
38:13Of seeking me out
38:14Iris, right?
38:15Your analysis is spot on
38:17Do you have real-life cases
38:18To back this up?
38:19I've been in a similar situation
38:21Someone hid key information
38:23Just to curry favor
38:24With people in power
38:26And they ended up
38:27Ruining their own reputation
38:28And life
38:29Human nature
38:30Is truly the hardest risk
38:32To control
38:32Would you consider
38:34Interviewing for our department
38:35After the training?
38:36Absolutely
Commenti
