Chapter 6 - THE DIGITAL WARJessica had lost control of the real world.

So she moved online.

One Sunday evening, Margaret's phone exploded with notifications.

Her friend Brenda called.

"Margaret, don't panic."

"I'm not panicking."

"You need to see Facebook."

Margaret opened the app.

Jessica had published a dramatic post accusing Margaret of destroying her family.

She claimed Margaret had illegally evicted them.

She called her cruel.

Heartless.

A wealthy monster.

Then came the final accusation:

Margaret was supposedly framing Jessica for fraud.

At the bottom was a crowdfunding link.

HELP SAVE JESSICA FROM A MALICIOUS BILLIONAIRE.

Hundreds of strangers had already shared it.

Margaret stared at the screen.

Then she smiled.

Not because it was funny.

Because Jessica had just made her biggest mistake.

She had created a public record.

And public records could be preserved.

"Richard."

"I'm already taking screenshots," he replied.

Margaret leaned back.

"Good."

"What do you want to do?"

She looked at the post again.

"Tell the truth."
