Mrs. Baker turned, looking shocked. “Liam,
what are you doing here?”
Mrs. Baker looked at the pile of clothes.
Those were her son’s clothes.
“Why are you with her?”
Mrs. Baker looked at her son and then at me.
She was so confused.
I smiled at her, “Mrs. Baker, your son and I
were dating.”
Her face lit up with pure joy, thinking she’d finally climbed the social ladder.
“But we broke up.”
Her face fall (

Her face fell. She smacked Liam, “Liam!
What did you do to make the nice lady mad?
Apologize to her now!”
Liam was dumbfounded. I, the girl he had always looked down on, was the daughter of the rich people his mom worked for.
I looked at Tiffany and said, “Liam pretended to be rich, right? He’s actually just my housekeeper’s son. All the gifts he gave you? They were probably bought with my money.”
Tiffany looked at me, furious. She slapped Liam, “Liar!”
She grabbed her purse and stormed out of the restaurant, embarrassed.
“Tiffany!”

Liam looked at me and then at Tiffany, clearly
torn.
He suddenly turned to me, completely changed, “Liam and Mrs. Baker, let’s lay all
the cards on the table.
“Liam has to return all the money and the things that I bought for him in the next three days. Mrs. Baker also has to return all the money and the things that she stole from my house.”
I said without any emotions.
“Miss, you must have made a mistake. I’m loyal to your family and would never do such a thing!” Mrs. Baker’s eyes were red, like she was being insulted.

“Mistake?” I pulled out a stack of fake
receipts and played a video on my iPad.
The video showed her carrying my mother’s jewelry box as she walked out the garden.
“Mrs. Baker, was that a mistake?”
She looked shocked and fell to the floor. I
looked down at her. “You have three days
too. If you don’t return everything, I will call
the police.”
I laughed, “Your son just owes me some
cash. But you, if I call the police for theft,
you’ll go to jail, right?”
Liam said, “Hailey, we were in love. Just let
us go. I promise that I will treat you well. I’ll
never talk to Tiffany ever again.”

Ha!
When I was broke, she was his dream girl.
Now that I was rich, she was a nobody?
“We were in love?” I slapped him in the face,
“You trash! You think you’re worthy of my
love?!”
“I suggest that you go find some money
instead of wasting your time talking. If you
two don’t return the money, I will make sure
that you never get into college.”
I turned and walked away. They tried to follow
- me.
“Hailey!”
“Miss!”

They watched me get into my family’s Rolls
Royce, the one of a kind in town.
