00:00to the richest man in the tri-state area.
00:02I was about to take my boyfriend to meet my billionaire dad,
00:06only to find out he'd cheated on me
00:08with my richer-looking roommate.
00:10He had no idea she was faking it,
00:12and I was the real rich.
00:13Natalie held her birthday party
00:15at the city's largest five-star hotel tonight.
00:18She sent invitations to everyone in our major except three,
00:22me and my two best friends.
00:24Our roommates were all fawning over her.
00:26Wow, the Belleville Hotel, a five-star hotel?
00:29I've never been anywhere this fancy.
00:31Thanks to Natalie, we get this chance.
00:33Yeah, I finally get to experience the high life.
00:35Natalie's family is incredible.
00:37Oh, it's nothing.
00:38I've been coming to places like this with my dad
00:40since I was little.
00:41Can you guys keep it down?
00:42You're disturbing me.
00:43Hey, Natalie just didn't invite you.
00:45Why are you so bitter?
00:46Chloe, do you even know the Belmont Hotel?
00:48I knew that hotel inside out.
00:50It was a brand under my dad's Carter Holdings.
00:52Yeah, my family owns it.
00:54What do you get out of making us laugh?
00:55She gets plenty!
00:56Once we laugh ourselves to death,
00:57she won't be bitter anymore!
00:59She was hosting a birthday party at my family's hotel,
01:01yet she called me bitter just then.
01:03My dad called me.
01:05Sweetheart, I'm attending a dinner at the Belmont Hotel tonight.
01:07Do you want to come?
01:08I want to go.
01:09I didn't want them listening to my phone call,
01:11so I walked out to the balcony.
01:12Great!
01:13You can bring some friends, too.
01:14How many invitations do you need?
01:16I'll have someone send them to you.
01:17Three.
01:17My two best friends and my boyfriend.
01:19Oh-ho!
01:20You're bringing your boyfriend along.
01:21You can introduce him to some impressive people.
01:23When I went back into the room, Natalie smirked.
01:25If you want to come to my birthday party, just say so.
01:28It's not embarrassing.
01:30You didn't need to hide outside to talk about it.
01:32I really wanted to laugh.
01:33She'd been acting so smug for two years.
01:35This was the perfect chance to give her a reality check.
01:37We're all classmates living in the same dorm.
01:39Say something nice, and maybe Natalie will soften up
01:42and take you to see the big world.
01:43Well, I suppose I could.
01:45Save it.
01:45Stop flattering yourself.
01:47Aren't you embarrassed?
01:48Forget her!
01:49Let her stay bitter!
01:52When I first started college, I shared a discount referral link for a friend.
01:57Natalie immediately labeled me as poor.
02:00I didn't bother to explain.
02:01Back in high school, everyone knew my dad had donated three buildings to our school,
02:07so some guys robbed me.
02:08Of course, they paid the price for it.
02:10But my dad was scared this would happen to me again before I left for college.
02:15He warned me to stay low-key unless necessary.
02:18So when people thought I was poor, I didn't really care.
02:21But I know why Natalie keeps throwing shade at me and hating my guts.
02:25She once confessed to her crush, but he rejected her and confessed to me with her flowers instead.
02:31She couldn't accept it.
02:33She felt she gave him all those expensive gifts only for a poor girl like me to get the guy.
02:39So she secretly claimed I deliberately seduced him while knowing she liked him.
02:45She was unbelievably dramatic.
02:47After that, she leveraged her rich girl image everywhere, using small favors to win people over.
02:53She formed a clique to isolate me, but I didn't care.
02:56Because after graduation, we probably won't ever see each other again.
03:01Right now, Natalie is throwing shade in our years group chat.
03:04Our dorm has a salty hater.
03:06Rich haters are so annoying.
03:07She kept stirring everyone up against me without ever naming me.
03:12It was basically happening right in my face.
03:14I won't stay passive forever.
03:16Even my patience has its limits.
03:19I didn't want to stay in this sick dorm room for another second.
03:22I packed up my things and went to see my boyfriend, Gavin.
03:25He was handsome, had a high GPA, and was ambitious.
03:29Looking at Gavin's handsome face made me feel so much better.
03:32Hey, babe!
03:33Are you free tonight?
03:35I want to take you somewhere special.
03:37Tonight?
03:37I actually happen to be busy tonight.
03:39How about tomorrow?
03:40Why?
03:41What are you doing tonight?
03:43An interview?
03:44Yeah.
03:45For real?
03:46Your expression looks a bit off.
03:47I wanted to take you to see my dad tonight.
03:49He suddenly cut me off.
03:51Chloe, I don't want to lie to you.
03:53Actually, your roommate Natalie invited me to her birthday party.
03:56I have to go.
03:57I froze.
04:01What do you mean?
04:03Don't you know how she treats me?
04:04Gavin knew better than anyone that Natalie and I didn't get along.
04:08I had vented to him about her so many times.
04:11I know you hate Natalie, but babe, you have to separate personal feelings from your future.
04:15Don't call me babe.
04:17Listen to me.
04:18I don't want to miss a chance to network and enter high society just because of personal feelings.
04:24Chloe, please try to understand me.
04:26I realized I didn't really know this man at all.
04:29The guy I thought was pure, principled, and true to himself was completely gone.
04:34With your skills, you can get into a big company on your own.
04:38You just don't get it.
04:39I don't just want an entry ticket.
04:41I want a fast track to the top.
04:43I was going to take you to meet my dad.
04:45Maybe he can help you.
04:46In that instant, I saw a flash of contempt in Gavin's eyes.
04:50Chloe, stop messing around.
04:51Natalie said her older brother will be there.
04:53I only agreed to go for my future.
04:55Stop being so childish, okay?
04:57What he really meant was, don't get in my way.
04:59Otherwise, I was just being unreasonable and throw a tantrum.
05:03He was still holding my hand.
05:05The warmth of his palm was familiar, but I felt like something had completely changed.
05:09I originally planned to tell him that my dad was the CEO of Car Holdings.
05:13Now, I suddenly didn't want to say that.
05:15Fine.
05:16Go if you want to.
05:17I won't stop you.
05:18Go build your so-called network.
05:20In the afternoon, my dad had someone deliver three invitations to me.
05:25I headed out with my best friend, Lily, to give the extra invitation to Gavin.
05:30As we turned the corner, Lily elbowed me hard.
05:33I looked up and saw Gavin and Natalie nearby, laughing and talking.
05:37My heart sank.
05:40Their hands brushed from time to time.
05:43They looked way too close.
05:45Things looked like they were crossing a line.
05:47Gavin was wearing the limited-edition sneakers I got him for Valentine's Day.
05:52Yet he wore them to meet the person I hated most.
05:55I still remember telling him how much I loved his smile.
05:58He even promised.
06:00Since you love my smile so much, I'll only smile for you from now on.
06:03But now, something inside me broke.
06:06Seriously?
06:07Wearing sneakers you bought him?
06:09To meet another girl?
06:10I only felt sad and ridiculous.
06:12And a bit relieved that before I introduced him to my dad, I saw this man for who he really
06:17was.
06:18I grabbed Lily and walked away.
06:19I desperately told myself, he's not worth it.
06:22I tore up the last invitation and threw it into the trash can.
06:26At night, Natalie came back to the dorm, looking thrilled.
06:29How did it go?
06:30Weren't you on a date with your crush?
06:32Did you get him?
06:33I only realized today that her crush was Gavin.
06:36Turns out they'd met up many times behind my back.
06:39I was clueless the whole time.
06:41I remembered the past few days.
06:43Every time Natalie came back, she'd brag about her dates with her crush.
06:46I don't know, but I kissed him.
06:49And he didn't say anything, so did I get him or not?
06:52My breath caught.
06:53I felt sick.
06:57Everyone in the dorm was still discussing what to wear to Natalie's birthday party.
07:01I packed my stuff and went home.
07:04Dad, where did you put the key to my new car?
07:07Then I saw my dad wasn't the only one sitting in the living room.
07:11Ethan.
07:12Hey, finally stopping your supercar from gathering dust in the garage, huh?
07:16Your key is in the bottom drawer.
07:18I grabbed my keys and went to my room to change.
07:21Suddenly, a gentle voice came from behind me.
07:23Chloe.
07:24I turned around.
07:25Ethan walked up beside me.
07:26You don't look too happy.
07:27Who picked on you?
07:29Tell me about it.
07:29I told Ethan the whole story.
07:31I see.
07:32Then give him a taste of what you can do tonight.
07:34I'll be there with your dad then.
07:35See you there.
07:36Okay.
07:37I put on my custom designer dress and grabbed my favorite bag.
07:41Then I drove my new supercar to the belt at the entrance.
07:45I ran into a huge crowd of classmates there for Natalie's birthday.
07:49Seeing me, my classmates were surprised, but mostly stunned by how good I looked.
07:54It seemed the top stylist my dad hired really knew his stuff.
07:58By contrast, Natalie wore heavy eye shadow and a sequined, strapless dress.
08:04It was flashy, but very tacky.
08:06Catching sight of me, Natalie's face flickered for a second, but she quickly looked proud.
08:10What's this?
08:11I didn't even invite someone, but she still showed up like a loser?
08:15Gavin walked over.
08:16He was surprised to see me too.
08:18Chloe?
08:22Gavin was wearing a luxury watch, but quickly pulled his sleeve over it.
08:26Natalie smoothly grabbed his arm.
08:28This is my plus one tonight, Gavin.
08:31Gavin, whose boyfriend are you anyway?
08:33That's fine.
08:34I actually have something to announce.
08:36Chloe, sometimes I have to make sacrifices to reach my goals.
08:40So letting her kiss you without pulling away is your sacrifice?
08:43You suck up to Natalie for connections while expecting me to understand you and stay by your side?
08:48Who do you think you are?
08:49God's gift to women?
08:51Get over yourself.
08:52Chloe, I am so done with you!
08:55Why can't you be more like Natalie?
08:57Even if she has a grudge against you, she never took it out on me.
09:00She even generously invited me to her birthday party.
09:02Besides, if Natalie really targets you like you say, why does she only target you and no one else?
09:08Can't you do some self-reflection?
09:09Natalie told me you were bad before, and I didn't believe her.
09:12Now I realize she was right.
09:13You want princess treatment without having the life to match.
09:16You are just arrogant and self-righteous.
09:19Fine, let's break up!
09:20Delete my number.
09:21Just don't regret it later.
09:22Okay.
09:23Without saying a word, I deleted his number right in front of him.
09:28Natalie suddenly stepped forward.
09:30You think good looks are all that matter?
09:31Let me tell you, men are very practical.
09:34Oh, so you do know I'm prettier than you.
09:37Nice self-awareness.
09:39What else do you have besides your looks?
09:41My brother has his own listed company, and he has deep connections with Carter Holdings.
09:45He can actually boost Gavin's career.
09:48But what about you?
09:49No power?
09:50No influence?
09:50No money?
09:51What can you offer Gavin?
09:53Chloe, this world is way harsher than you think.
09:59Fine then, I wish you two trashy people a long and happy life together.
10:03Stay locked in.
10:03I must clarify one thing.
10:05Natalie's family is richer than yours.
10:07But that's not why I broke up with you.
10:09We're just not a good match.
10:10I, Gavin, have always lived with integrity.
10:13I'm not someone who chooses money over love.
10:14I really wanted to laugh.
10:16Then let's see if you really choose money over love.
10:19Whatever your reason is, it has nothing to do with me anymore.
10:21My friends were all disgusted.
10:23Gavin, you are so toxic.
10:24Talk about guilty conscience.
10:25You make me sick.
10:26Go rot with your new girlfriend.
10:27Watch your mouth!
10:28Since you crashed the party, let me introduce you again.
10:30From now on, Gavin is my boyfriend.
10:32I don't care about your business, and take a good look for yourself.
10:35Is this place even your birthday party venue?
10:37Wow.
10:38The Belvert Grand Charity Bala.
10:40I saw this on the news last time.
10:41I heard only prominent local figures can attend.
10:43Yeah, there's no way Chloe and her friends are here for this, right?
10:46We're here for this exact event.
10:48Who cares about your stupid party?
10:49With that, we turned around and walked toward the entrance.
10:52Hilarious.
10:53As if they could actually get in.
10:54The doorman at the gala entrance recognized me.
10:56Right this way, please.
11:01No invitation needed.
11:03My best friends and I walked right in.
11:05Natalie immediately stepped forward to walk in, too.
11:08But the doorman blocked her at the door.
11:10May I see your invitations, please?
11:13Invitations?
11:14We don't have any.
11:15Then I'm sorry, you cannot enter.
11:17What do you mean?
11:19That girl went in without an invitation.
11:21Why can't we?
11:22How can you let someone like her sneak in?
11:25She's different from you.
11:26She's our VIP.
11:28Do you even know who our Natalie is?
11:31I don't know.
11:32I haven't seen her and I've never heard of her.
11:35How embarrassing.
11:37Natalie and Gavin both froze.
11:39Then the waiter turned to greet the other VIPs, completely ignoring the group.
11:44All the classmates stood there, completely stunned in shock.
11:52How should I put it?
11:54Actually, my brother offered to give me a few invitations.
11:56But since I still had to host my birthday party, I told him I didn't need them.
11:59Let's go.
12:00Gavin walked back with his arm held by her.
12:02But he kept looking back toward the gala.
12:05Shortly after we went inside, Lily showed me the messages in the year chat.
12:10Maybe she's just working inside as a hostess, honestly.
12:15Isn't it normal for college students to work part-time these days?
12:20It's not impossible to rent that stuff nowadays.
12:23Natalie's family has tons of those high fashion dresses.
12:28Oh really?
12:29If she has so many, why didn't she wear one out today?
12:33All right, bestie.
12:34I've always been low-key.
12:37Her, low-key?
12:38She basically has, I'm the richest in school, written on her FAQ.
12:48Tease K.
12:49Rare for these people to actually see straight today.
12:52Just then, Gavin sent me another text.
12:54We will be well-capped.
12:54Like a crush.
12:54But for the live podcast.
12:54By the way, go back to the business of the show.
12:54This is a fresh new episode.
12:55The South.
12:55There's more in the show.
12:55Doctor Henry.
12:56I'll see.
