The computer in question had never been used by Olivia at all. Manufacturer logs showed it had belonged to Harrison, who spent thousands of hours gaming on it. Olivia had built her software on a refurbished surplus desktop bought with money she earned herself while working diner shifts. The judge was furious. He dismissed the case with prejudice, sanctioned her parents for filing a fraudulent claim, and exposed them in open court as liars who had tried to weaponize the legal system against their own daughter.
But humiliation in court did not stop them.
Naomi launched the next attack online.
She posted a tearful viral video accusing Olivia of bullying a pregnant woman and destroying the family out of greed. The smear spread fast. Investors panicked. Board members called. Olivia’s reputation was suddenly being torn apart in public by a woman who knew exactly how to perform victimhood for the camera.
Naomi’s one mistake was forgetting who she was targeting.
