The argument at the hospital was filmed and uploaded to social media.
At first, the narrative was "Gold Digger Wife Bleeds Hero Husband Dry."
But within hours, it mutated into "Firefighter Husband Embezzles Wealthy Wife's Money to Fund Mistress."

The video trended on Twitter and hit the front page of Reddit.
I capitalized on the momentum.
I commissioned my PR team to release a detailed dossier: bank statements, property deeds, and consumption records for Amanda and her son.
I released it through several influential local NYC news accounts.
The truth was, I had "married down."
I ran a boutique interior design firm—Evans Design Studio.

I was self-made, starting straight out of Parsons. I never cared about Michael's income.
I fell for him because he saved me from a loft fire in Tribeca years ago.
I admired his dedication.
I happily used my money to support his "charity," thinking he was helping victims.

I even gave him the keys to my pre-marital apartment on the Upper West Side because he said he wanted to foster rescue animals.
I had no idea Amanda and Lucas had been living there for years.
My money paid for Lucas's private school, Amanda's shopping sprees, and their vacations to the Hamptons.
But financial ruin wasn't enough.
Since my rebirth, I had been gathering data on the fire.
I hired a freelance investigative journalist.
Through FOIA requests, he obtained the dispatch recordings, radio logs, and witness statements.
I released the evidence via a popular public safety blog.
The internet exploded.
The public saw the thermal imaging data clearly showing signs of life in Building B, contradicting Michael's report of "structural instability."
He lied to the Chief to prioritize his ex's son.
Then, the photo surfaced—Michael doing CPR on a barely-injured Lucas while I performed CPR on a dying Noah in the background.
Reddit threads went nuclear:
"This is gross negligence!"
"He literally chose his ex's kid over his own dying son!"
"FDNY needs to fire this guy immediately!"
Hashtags like #FDNYScandal and #CaptainMichaelControversy trended.
Under massive pressure from the City Council, the Fire Commissioner announced a formal inquiry.
Michael's suspension became a disciplinary hearing.
His career was over.
Amanda fared worse. She was branded the ultimate "Homewrecker."
People doxed her. They tagged the UWS apartment on Google Maps as "Homewrecker's Nest."
They created a fake Yelp page for her.
Protesters showed up on the sidewalk with signs: "WE DON'T WELCOME CHEATERS."
The HOA moved to evict her. Lucas's private school asked her to withdraw him to "protect the moral environment."
Amanda fled to a shabby apartment in Queens.
But I had already cut off the money.
I froze our joint accounts.
Michael had no salary.
Amanda had no income.
Lucas's heart medication cost thousands a month.
Without my money, they were drowning.
So, Amanda came up with a desperate plan.
