“I mean, did anyone actually buy into Claire being a good person before? She’s obviously a total h. Even without Moira’s recording, Claire’s actions were way out of line. Moira probably put up with her before “cause she was so into her ex, but now that she’s done with Alfie, Moira finally found the right way to deal with this b i t c h!”
Moira believed Claire had no chance of spinning this around. Juliet was thrilled too, so happy that she didn’t even care about getting docked for being late to work,
hi Moira would have a recording
Claire, seeing Moira’s recording trending at number one, was completely baffled. She never thought
Tamara and Alison, after hearing that recording, didn’t dare speak up for Claire anymore, afraid of getting slammed by other netizens.
Everything unfolded just as Moira had predicted. After that, Claire didn’t dare speak up online again.
Moira’s recording stayed trending at the top spot for a solid three hours before other topics pushed it down. Now, everyone online knew Claire’s true
