Chapter 1979


    Serena''s eyes nearly popped out of her skull when she saw those messages. She was absolutely livid!


    Her college roommate couldn''t help but roast her, "You didn''t dine with the McMillians on steak. Why''d


    you lie to me! Now I''m getting dragged online because of you!"


    She had been bragging about her close ties with the Collins heir and had boasted that Serena was


    sharing a New Year’s steak dinner with the McMillians. It had given her a nice little bump in poprity.


    But her moment of glory was short-lived, as the trolls came out in full force to berate her!


    Now, herment section was flooded with over 500 insults!


    [Could you be any more vain?]


    Her roommate''s words had Serena fuming. She mmed her palm down on her phone and held down


    the voice message button, unleashing a tirade.


    "You have the nerve to call me out? You asked what I had for dinner, and yeah, I had steak. But I never


    said it was with the McMillians. And what gives you the right to post our private conversation online


    without my permission? Are you nuts?"


    Serena sent the message with a huff, only to find out she''d already been blocked!


    She was ready to explode with rage. This damn roommate better hope they don''t cross paths after the


    holidays!


    Just then, another trending topic hit the web.


    #SerenaGetsDragged#


    Clicking through, Serena discovered her personal ount had been invaded and she was getting


    ripped apart by onlinementers.


    Someone had even posted in herments section: [Guys, I got Serena''s — sorry, ''the drama


    queen''s'' — WhatsApp and phone number. Add her, st her, I can’t stand her anymore.]


    Because Serena had previously set her ount to automatically ept friend requests, a legion of


    strangers had added her on WhatsApp and were spamming her relentlessly.


    She scrambled to change her settings to require verification for new contacts, a simple task made


    nearly impossible as her phone rang off the hook. It took an agonizingly long time to regain control.


    A barrage of hateful messages flooded in, with unread notifications topping 1000.


    She''d never seen anything like this before, and in a panic, she shut off her phone, turning to Dora,


    "When is Martin getting back? Tell him I need a new number, stat!"


    "I''ll message him right away," Dora said, pulling out her own phone to contact Martin.


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    She felt like her heart was about to burst.


    "Right away."


    She instructed the staff to open the door, gazing at the remnants of her past life with the Collins: a bed


    she''d slept in, the mattress. Everything was still there, yet everything had changed. New ch?pter


    avаble o? Dr?мanоvеls.cоm


    Serena closed her eyes, tears spilling over as she held back sobs before finally saying, "Take it all out


    and burn it."


    "Burn it?" Dora was taken aback. These were items Martin had taken special care to have shipped


    back. And now they were to be burned?
