Chapter 1The Roommate Who Married My Dad (In Her Dreams)

My first day of college, my dad dropped me off at the dorms in his Lamborghini.

When my new roommate found out my dad was the CEO of Sterling Corp, her whole demeanor changed.

"CEO Sterling is so busy, yet he drove you personally? Where's your mom?"

"Just as I thought, a home without a woman is chaos... Give me two days to learn the ropes, and I'll take great care of both you and your father!"

I thought she was just being weird and brushed it off with a "Good luck with that."

But she actually started staying up all night watching videos on "How to Be a Billionaire's Wife."

"Why are you wearing a mini skirt? That's not very ladylike!"

She even started introducing herself as my "stepmom" to everyone!

"See her bag? Her dad and I picked it out for her."

"But, well, he bought me a huge diamond ring too. I guess he spoils me a little more."

Until the university's centennial gala, where she showed up in a ballgown and sat straight in the seat reserved for "Mrs. Sterling."

My first day of college, my dad personally drove me to the dorms in his sports car.

As soon as we walked in, we bumped into my roommate, Tiffany. She asked excitedly:

"Did you guys see that sports car downstairs? I looked it up, it's worth like six million dollars!"

I walked over to my bed leisurely and turned to ask my dad:

"Dad, didn't you say you bought it for six hundred thousand?"

Dad smiled awkwardly and didn't reply.

Just then, his bodyguard walked in. "Mr. Sterling, the board meeting is starting soon."

Tiffany's eyes lit up instantly. She rushed over to me.

"Your dad is CEO Sterling? He's so handsome! How did he have time to drop you off? Where's your mom?"

Before I could answer, she pulled out her phone and ran up to my dad.

"Hi, I'm Tiffany! You can add me on WeChat. If Chloe needs anything, you can just ask me!"

Dad froze. Although he looked reluctant, he didn't want to embarrass a young girl.

He added her WeChat.

"Chloe, I'm heading back to the office. Let me know if you need anything."

Before I could answer, Tiffany jumped in again.

"Okay! I'll let you know if Chloe needs anything. Don't worry about work."

"Remember to eat, don't go hungry, okay?"

She giggled shyly and waved.

Dad coughed awkwardly and left immediately.

While unpacking, I thought to myself: Are college students this abstract nowadays?

The next second, Tiffany knocked my suitcase over.

"As a junior, where's my greeting gift?"

I stared at her in shock, unsure if she was serious or joking.

Seeing I didn't move, she suddenly slapped my arm, hands on her hips, glaring at me.

"Is that how you look at your elders? No manners at all!"

"I'll have to discipline you properly for your father! Or don't even think about entering the family home!"

She was serious.

I stood up and shoved her to the ground, yelling:

"They let psychos into college now? Go get treated!"

Hearing the commotion, people from other dorms gathered around.

Tiffany sat on the floor, sobbing.

"I know you don't like me! But I'm trying so hard to be a good stepmom..."

The crowd gasped, eyes wide with shock.

I was furious, looking at her in disbelief.

"My dad doesn't even know you! Are you delusional from wanting to marry rich?"

Tiffany stood up, showed her phone screen to everyone.

"See for yourselves! Does he know me or not!"

"She just thinks I stole her father's love, that's why she targets me!"

People started nodding, looking at me with disdain.

Confused, I snatched her phone.

She had changed my dad's contact name to:

[Hubby]
