Speaker A
thanks to an influencer classmate's introduction that she got a shot at entering this circle at all.
Speaker A
Olivia took her over to meet a few close friends. All three of them were influencers with over 100,000 followers.
Speaker A
The moment they spotted the rare tweed jacket Emma had on, a Saint Laurent piece not many people would even recognize, they instantly pegged her as someone with real money. Then Olivia mentioned Emma used to attend an Ivy
Speaker A
League school. Their whole attitude flipped from dismissive to deferential. Emma barely got a word in the entire time.
Speaker A
Her influencer classmate kept showing her off to everyone nearby. What none of them knew, though, was that Emma's family business
Speaker A
had already gone bankrupt and she'd been forced to drop out of her Ivy League school. Her actual education level was just a high school diploma. That's when a woman approached from a distance.
Speaker A
Her name was Ella, a celebrity who stayed off social media entirely. She was the daughter of a former president
Speaker A
and chairwoman of the Haeyang Foundation. Her net worth ran into the trillions. What Emma didn't realize was
Speaker A
that the expensive jacket she was wearing actually
Speaker A
belonged to Ella. Only one of that jacket had ever been made worldwide. Someone standing nearby couldn't help but ask Ella, "Isn't that your jacket?" Ella didn't know how to respond for a second. She
Speaker A
glanced over at Emma. Suddenly everyone's eyes were on Emma. She froze up, completely thrown off. It was clear the woman standing next to Ella had already figured out who Emma really was.
Speaker A
Just as Emma was at a total loss for what to do, Ella covered for her, backing
Speaker A
up the lie. Then the other influencers turned back to Emma with more questions, asking what it took to get into
Speaker A
an Ivy League school. Emma knew that keeping up the act would only end in getting caught. So she just told them the truth. She said her family's company had gone under and that she'd dropped out before
