From Divorce To Dominance (Natalie Xavier)

Chapter 7 A single comment can spark a wildfire. Once the first doubt was cast, others leaped in to fan the flames. Instead of watching the rest of the show, the audience was more thrilled to dig into whether Natalie was dripping in riches or just faking it. One skeptic quipped, "Wealthy and she walked the red carpet? LOL, which heiress hoofs it?" Another added, "That little black dress she flaunted is supposedly from Vacok, but as a regular, I've scanned all their collections and that style's a no-show. Isn't she basically faking it with a Vacok fake? They could sue, right?" A third voice chimed in, "She's all about the attention. I'm not seeing 'heiress', just 'attention seeker'. No class, low EQ, and trying too hard to fit the 'old money' mold! It's cringeworthy!" In the digital age, scandals can snowball in a heartbeat. Just as the live show neared its end, a tell-all post snuck onto the web with a clickbait headline.

Before long, the post "Fake Rich Heiress Natalie: Exposing the Real Story Behind the InteCeleb Who Pretends to Be Loaded" went viral. The author laid out a case, dismantling Natalie's wealthy socialite facade.

They started by sharing a chat with GirlLove's customer service about the pink necklace Natalie wore. The rep denied it, stating the necklace conly in silver, champagne, and gold-no pink.

Next, the author showed Vacok's official dress lineup, none matching Natalie's red carpet look.

Finally, they pointed out Natalie's outfit wasn't entirely a sham, but her handbag was a brand and a close-up revealed missing studs on the million-dollar bag.

[I can't believe this!] [LOL! I'm dying! How does a supposed farm heiress end up with a tattered bag?] [No cash? Just own up! Faking rich is so confusing.] [Just for attention! She claims she's not seeking it, but here she is, making a fool of herself!] [That worn-out bag-where'd she dig up that second-hand trash? How dare she show it in public?] [Why did the show invite her? Kick her out already!] [I was into her looks, but I'm over it!] [Natalie, just slink back to wherever you cfrom!] The buzz online was deafening. After the show, reporters swarmed outside, hungry for an interview with Natalie. She was the talk of the town, and landing an interview would mean a viewership jackpot. But as minutes ticked by without her, frustration grew. "Hey! The judges are coming out!" a reporter shouted, spotting Vivian and Keaton. "Vivian! Keaton!" A mob of journalists rushed them, jostling for interviews.

With a saccharine smile, Vivian asked, "You guys still here? Who are you waiting for?" "We're here for you, of course!" a reporter replied smoothly. "Vivian, why isn't Mr. Luther here? Did he bolt out of frustration?" Vivian grinned. "Oh, con! He had to sort something out, but he'd have stayed if it weren't for that." "Wow! You two are a perfect match!" the reporters gushed.

Vivian blushed and said, "It's because Mr. Luther's a great guy!" The reporters were awed. Then, one brave soul asked, "Vivian, who do you think has the edge today?" "Definitely Ms. Xavier!" Vivian shot back with a playful wink. "I admire her. She's got spunk. I hope she shines and goes far." "Wow! High praise from you! But there are rumors she wore fakes and faked wealth..." "Oh?" Vivian feigned surprise. "Is that true? I had no idea!" "What do you think about it?" the reporter pressed.

Vivian paused. "Well... it's hard to judge without all the facts. If she did pretend to be wealthy, I'm sure she had her reasons." "She's just seeking attention. If she was really rich, why join a talent show?" Keaton interjected with a stern face. "She just wants the spotlight! I can't stand such people! The stage is for real talent, not for flaunting fake wealth. Natalie's just lying and tarnishing a great contest. People like her should be exposed.

+5 Keaton Fritz, known for his folk hits, especially "Waiting for You, was in his thirties with a rocker vibe. His social media often carried a strong moral message.

The reporters, disappointed by the lack of dirt from Vivian, perked up at Keaton's jabs. This was the they craved- shade thrown at Natalie! "So, Keaton, any advice for Natalie?" they pressed.

Keaton stared into the camera, serious. "Being broke isn't the issue; it's about losing integrity. I hope Ms. Xavier can be more genuine and down-to-earth instead of chasing fwith lies." The reporters scribbled his soundbites. This was gold; it would trend for sure.

Then, a siren wailed in the distance, stopping right outside the station. Natalie strolled out frong backstage, 60 unhurried. Two cops approached her. "Ms. Xavier, we need you to cwith us regarding a case." Confused, Natalie saw they meant business and nodded. The reporters, stunned, snapped into action, capturing the scene. Within the hour, a video of Natalie being led away by cops went viral.

[Oh my gosh?! Is acting like a diva illegal now? Natalie just got hauled off!] [Will she bounce back from this?] [Good riddance! But what was it for?] [Was it Vacok that reported her?] [Let's boycott Natalie! She should quit Sweet Love! Get lost in the entertainment scene!]

At that moment, in Greton's priciest private hospital, Darren gown, watching thermocanimlounged in a online storm unfold in his favor, a smug smile on his face.

No matter whether Natalie was really taking him on, she should know 25 wouldnt have om better. If she'd quit the show m gracefully, this happened. But if she wanted to tussle, he'd make her life in the industry a nightmare. A soft rapping at the door. Darren shut his laptop and gestured to his assistant, Tony. Tony opened the door, letting in two cops with Natalie in tow.
