Chapter 142 Michelle’s Past Explodes Online
[The most famous one was Felix. The guy literally raised his first love’s daughter for her.]
[Wait, there’s more? Finish typing and post it already!]
[Word is, Michelle never actually died. She got plastic surgery, changed her name to Tiffany, and started the whole thing over. She’s been playing men across generations for decades. Honestly? Kind of legendary when you think about it.]
[Come on, man. You can’t be serious. That’s insane.]
[Believe what you want.]
[Okay, so if this is true, let me get this straight. Michelle was dating multiple guys at the same time back in the day–stringing along some of the most powerful men in the city. Then she decides the older guys aren’t doing it for her anymore, burns down Collins Manor to fake her own death, claims she was disfigured in the fire, gets a whole new face, and starts going after men twenty years younger. Guys like Mr. Wellington–back when he was still one of the most eligible bachelors in Azure Peak City–were just targets to her. So wait… Mr. Wellington slept with a woman twenty years older than him and dumped his wife for that?]
[It wasn’t just Mr. Wellington! I saw threads about this on Twitter a while back. Apparently half the old money families had someone fall for her. These guys were in their early thirties back then, thinking their dream girl was barely thirty. Joke’s on them–she was pushing fifty. You know those stories about catfishing disasters where people finally meet in person after months of online romance? This is basically that. Except it played out over decades with some of the richest men in the country. Tsk tsk.]
[If this is real, you’ve got to hand it to her. A dead first love is way more valuable than a living one. Look at Felix–pined after her his whole life, raised her kid like his own, handed her the family fortune. Michelle didn’t lift a finger. Didn’t raise the kid, didn’t deal with the day–to–day. Just waited around, and when the daughter grew up, she walked into a fortune most people can’t even imagine.]
[I heard Felix coughed up blood and ended up in the hospital. You think he just found out?]
[Good. He had it coming.]
[Honestly, I’m dying to see what happens next. All those powerful guys she played for fools? They’ve lost so much face. This is the kind of stain that doesn’t wash out. Getting played by a woman like that? In their circles? That’s brutal.]
The news that Tiffany was actually Michelle exploded online and shot straight to the top of the trending list. The old moneys were losing their minds.
When Amber saw it, her knees nearly gave out. Sienna caught her just in time.
“It’s over. It’s all over.”
Her face was white as a sheet, her eyes empty and staring. “Sienna, kill the story. Get it taken down. Now.”
“Mom, what’s wrong with you?”

Sienna was terrified. She had no idea what was happening, no idea what to do.
“We’re finished. We’re done.”
Amber sank to the floor.
“It has to be Stella. That girl shows up and everything falls apart.”
“Mom, you’re scaring me.”
Amber was shaking. “No. Mom’s still alive. He’ll be happy about that. He should be happy.”
Finished
No matter how badly Mark had turned on them, he couldn’t just abandon Felix, right? Even if he wanted to, he’d care about what people thought. And the way he took over Moore Group wasn’t exactly above board.
“Grandpa’s awake.”
Amber’s face lit up. She scrambled to her feet and stumbled into the room.
“Dad. Dad, I have good news.”
“Good news? Now?”
Felix looked defeated. Hollow. Like he’d aged twenty years overnight.
“It’s Mom. Mom’s alive.”
“WHAT!!!” Felix stared at her, stunned.
Leo froze too. His assistant walked in and handed him a tablet. The more he scrolled, the more ridiculous
it seemed.
“It’s true, Dad. She’s alive.”
Felix processed the news quietly. There was surprise, sure. But not joy. No relief, no sense of something lost finally being found. Just… surprise. And curiosity, maybe. If she was alive, why hadn’t she come back?
“See? God heard how much you love her. He’s giving you another chance.”
Amber looked so moved it made Leo want to throw up.
“Love? Spare me.”
“What’s that supposed to mean, Leo?”
Leo’s lip curled. When he looked at Felix, there was nothing but disappointment in his eyes. If Amber hadn’t confirmed it herself, he wouldn’t have believed the stuff on Twitter. It was too insane.
“Grandpa, you should read this. See what kind of woman your precious first love really was. I’m serious–l think she killed my aunt back then and set up her own daughter to take over. Bold move.
