“Everything she flaunts now is just a facade, provided by her sugar daddy who showers her with clothes and bags!” Timothy regarded Ramona with a composed expression before inquiring. “And who might you be?” “I'm Ramona Tilbert, Mia's classmate. I've known her since childhood, and | can vouch for the kind of person she is.
“Back in school, she relied on sugar daddies due to her financial struggles. Her personal life was quite tumultuous, to say the least.” Mia smirked and nodded, “Go on. Is there anything else?” Ramona’s confidence grew as she continued, “There's plenty more, sir. You might not be aware that Mia was once a top student, but she abruptly dropped out from college for an older, wealthy man.
