The news of a newborn's arrival should have been a joyous occasion.
But after the pregnant woman's 'boyfriend' pulled his stunt,
the news instantly became a joke.
Not only did Ben not have a child, but he had also been publicly humiliated.
The media eventually unraveled the whole story, piece by piece.
The pregnant woman herself was a student at a regular state university.
She met Ben while she was on a break from her boyfriend.
Ben had mistaken her period as proof of her virginity.
So, he decided to take responsibility for her.
Soon after, the woman got back together with her boyfriend, but she continued seeing Ben at the same time.
When her boyfriend found out, he didn't mind and let her carry on with the arrangement.
The two of them planned to extort a hefty sum of money from Ben.
They never expected Ben to fall for it so easily.
The incident had a huge impact on Ben's company.
I heard Ben had to pay a fortune to satisfy their greed.
