“Treating your own mom like that? Aren’t you worried about karma biting you in the ass?”
Every single pair of eyes snapped to me.
‘Wait-whose mom? Sutton’s mom?”
‘What’s Stella losing her shit about now?”
‘Another desperate play for Grayson’s attention?”
Girl’s unhinged. I don’t have time for this drama.”
She didn’t come here to party-she came here to start shit.”
Grayson yanked me backward.
Stella, when are you gonna quit this act?!”
Are you actually having some kind of breakdown? How did I miss this?”
rolled my eyes at him.
‘m done playing games too.
‘ulled out my phone and dialed.
911? I need to report someone illegally occupying private property.”
Yes, my parents own this house.”
The housekeeper’s daughter has been living here without permission.”
Seeing me actually call the cops, everyone froze.
They all turned to Sutton.
‘Holy shit… she really called the cops?”
“Stella’s saying this is her parents’ place?”
Grayson’s grip tightened on my wrist:

“What the actual fuck are you doing?”
“I’ve known you since we were kids-you think I don’t know what your family can afford?”
“Making false police reports? That’s seriously low, even for you!”
He was gripping so tight it hurt, tears started streaming down my face.
I couldn’t break free, and nobody here was gonna help me.
So I went for the nuclear option.
‘DAD! MOM!”
Your ex-son-in-law is trying to break my wrist!”
My parents, who’d been hiding in the master bedroom waiting for my signal, burst out.
The second Mrs. Coleman saw them, she went white as a sheet.
Mr… Mrs… Sterling…”
I thought you were on vacation?”
Everyone looked confused as hell.
Okay, so the housekeeper knows these people… calls them Mr. and Mrs…”
But Stella called them mom and dad…”
So that means Sutton actually…”
eeing my parents, Grayson immediately dropped my wrist like it was on fire and grabbed Sutton’s hand
nstead.
‘robably trying to distance himself from the mess.
After staying quiet this whole time, Sutton finally stepped forward.
She turned to Mrs. Coleman:
‘How much did Stella’s family pay you to put on this little performance?”
I was genuinely confused. How was she still trying to spin this?
She squeezed Mrs. Coleman’s hand, her eyes scary-intense,

“I’ll pay you double.”
“You know about my depression. If you betray me today…”
“I’ll jump off the balcony.”
The only person you can threaten with suicide?
Your own mother.
That scared Mrs. Coleman into flipping immediately.
‘I… I took money from them.”
“They paid me to disrupt Miss Sutton’s party.
Those two sentences pulled all the wavering classmates right back to her side.
Maybe scared the cops would show up and end her charade for good.
You heard her. I’m feeling generous, so I won’t press charges.”
Now get out of my house.”
‘d never seen anyone this shameless in my life.
Why are you still standing there? Leave!”
I said get the fuck out! Are you deaf?”
Don’t make me call building security to throw you out!”
We just stood there calmly watching her meltdown.
Go ahead and call them.”
Everyone was getting tired of the drama.
They started pushing Sutton to follow through.
‘Yeah Sutton, just call security and have them tossed out.”
‘If Stella’s bullshitting, call the cops yourself. End this drama.”
‘Seriously, kick them out so I can get more pics of this place.”

Backed into a corner, Sutton had no choice but to pick up her phone.
She pressed some numbers but never actually made the call.
Dad caught my eye.
I nodded he had the green light.
The call Sutton couldn’t make? Dad made it for her.
When security walked in with the police, Mrs. Coleman’s facade completely crumbled.
She hit her knees, babbling about how her daughter was young and naive.
Begging my parents not to press charges.
n that moment, everyone finally read the room.
They all migrated to my side.
‘Yo, I knew that Rolls driver had to be Stella’s dad! Called it!”
‘I always thought Stella had that rich girl vibe. Totally different energy from Sutton.”
‘Sutton’s such a fraud! Playing princess when she’s just the housekeeper’s kid!”
Grayson, who’d been gripping Sutton’s hand tight, quietly let go.
Leaving her standing there alone to facing the mother she was so ashamed of.
After getting the basic rundown, even the cops looked shocked.
