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 Internet Celeb 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 came only 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.]
