Kristen’s dreams of college, supported by a fund her late mom left, faced an unexpected challenge: her stepmom, Tracy, “borrowed” $5,000 for dental veneers. Obsessed with appearances, Tracy dismissed Kristen’s protests and called it family sharing. Kristen’s dad promised to address it but took little action.
Tracy flaunted her new veneers, insulting Kristen’s teeth in the process. However, at a BBQ, karma struck when a veneer cracked mid-bite, leaving her humiliated and facing costly repairs. Tracy, who opted for bargain veneers, was left struggling with lisp-ridden complaints.
Kristen’s dad finally stood up for her, demanding Tracy repay the fund. The stepmom retreated from the spotlight, facing neighborhood gossip and financial strain. Meanwhile, Kristen found her college fund being rebuilt, while taking satisfaction in Tracy’s well-deserved downfall.
This tale of karma and poetic justice proved that true worth lies in character, not vanity. Kristen even joked about writing a memoir: From Fangs to Fortune: How My Stepmom’s Dental Disaster Saved My College Fund.
