Chapter 383
Caitlin loved video games.
She rarely scrolled through Tik Tok.
She’d never even bothered searching for Ann’s Tik Tok account, so it never crossed her mind to connect the “Victoria” in the comments section with Ann herself.
After replying to that comment, Caitlin simply put her phone away, not giving the matter a second thought.
She was busy these days.
Between developing new products in the Gonzales Holdings lab and giving Stuart his acupuncture treatments in her spare hours, she barely had time to breathe.
Unbeknownst to Caitlin, the moment she shut off her phone, Twitter was already in an uproar because of her latest reply-her mentions flooded with angry comments.
“She thinks she can just show up and claim this? That shot from behind is obviously Victoria’s iconic photo p>
“I’ve seen plenty of shameless people, but this is a whole new level p>
“I’m furious! Does she think Victoria is some pushover just because she keeps a low profile p>
That’s right.
Ann’s online persona was all about being calm, gentle, and quietly elegant.
“She used someone else’s photo and still won’t admit it. How can anyone be this brazen p>
“Apologize! Victoria deserves an apology p>
“Disgusting p>

It didn’t take long for Ann’s inbox to fill with messages from her followers.
When she heard someone was impersonating her on Twitter, Ann was livid. She immediately logged in and found the culprit’s tweet.
The account was called “N p>
The profile picture was a small, anonymous wildflower.
Ann frowned. The whole thing felt oddly familiar.
Wait. This looked a lot like Caitlin’s Twitter.
Though the Twitter bio didn’t mention her by name, both the profile photo and nickname matched Caitlin’s WhatsApp exactly.
Ann quickly scrolled through N’s recent tweets.
Sure enough, there it was a clue.
N had recently posted a landscape photo, and the background was unmistakable:
a secluded corner of the Gonzales family’s backyard.
There was no doubt about it now.
This burner account belonged to Caitlin.
Ann rolled her eyes. This little country bumpkin had no shame. Clearly, Caitlin was jealous of her newfound fame and had stolen her photo hoping to become as popular as Ann—maybe everra mega-influencer with millions of followers.
How could someone be this gross?
Did Caitlin honestly think that swiping a single photo would turn her into an overnight sensation?
Just wait.
Ann would make sure Caitlin’s little scheme blew up in her face.
Smirking, Ann picked up her phone, set it up, and recorded herself playing piano.
The camera angle focused on her hands as they danced across the black and white keys.
When the video ended, Ann stopped playing and looked up with a gentle smile. “Hello, everyone. I’m
Victoria your Victoria. My piano.ne
skills aren’t great, so I hope you’ll forgive me. I’ve seen all your messages, and yes, I’ve checked Twitter Honestly, it’s really nothing. There’s no need to get upset on my behalf. I never expected that photo of me would become so popular, let alone that I’d have nearly ninety million followers on TikTok p>
“As long as you all know it’s me, that’s what matters. If anyone likes that photo,
you’re welcome to use it however you like—no need to credit me p>
“One more thing. Please stop the online attacks and leave N alone on Twitter. It’s perfectly normal to admire something beautiful, and completely understand N’s reply. Actually, N is my cousin in real life. She just a kid, really-not exactly cunning or sly guess she just saw me trending on TikTok and wanted to play a little prank p>
“N may be my cousin, but in my heart, she’s like a real sister. So please, stop
bothering her p>
