Chapter 8

Kaka Melon
"A company that treats its employees like thieves and won't even provide basic tools for work, now has the audacity to claim ownership of the intellectual fruits of our labor, which we created under disrespect and constant belittlement. Does that make any sense? Is that fair?"

I looked straight at Dominic, speaking slowly and clearly, "They're not questioning the technology, but our integrity. And today, all I'm doing is picking up the dignity they trampled on."

Dominic avoided my gaze.

  • Bring Your Own A4? I Brought the Company Bankruptcy Instead   Chapter 10

    Dominic's hands trembled as he raised the knife, veins bulging across his forehead.I took a step forward, getting right in his face. "Do it! Stab me right here! If I die, you get the death penalty, and if I live, you just get to rot in a cell for a few more years.""You…" He loosened his grip, and the folding knife hit the floor with a heavy clink.I picked up my cracked phone and opened my car door. "Remember, Dominic. I didn't destroy you; your arrogance did."As I drove off, I caught a glimpse of him in the rearview mirror. He was sitting slumped on the floor, clutching his head as his shoulders shook violently.The next morning, I had my secretary send out three encrypted files. The first went to the board of directors. It contained the full chain of evidence provided by Lydia, including emails where Dominic authorized the resource sabotage of our project, the screenshots of chat logs where he told her to "make our lives a living hell", and the bank transfers showing him em

    Lydia practically stumbled into the office. Her makeup was smeared, and her hair was a mess. She was nothing like the arrogant woman she used to be.She threw herself against my desk and wailed, "Mr. Ward, help! Mr. Thorne's trying to pin it all on me! He's saying everything was my idea!"I leaned back in my chair and coldly watched her perform."I have proof that it was all Mr. Thorne's idea!"She fumbled for her USB drive and continued, "He told me to cut your resources, and I even have the ledgers for his tax evasion!"I picked up the drive and turned it over in my hand. "So now you come to me, huh?""I'm sorry that I looked down on you! Please just let me off. I'll do anything and even work the front desk!"She collapsed to the floor and sobbed, while I called security and had her dragged out.After she was gone, Jason couldn't help but ask, "Elliot, are we just letting her off?""Letting her off?" I asked and plugged in her USB drive. "All this evidence is more than eno

And today, all I'm doing is picking up the dignity they trampled on."Dominic avoided my gaze.…The recess didn't last long.When the judge returned, his voice was steady and cold as he delivered the verdict."…After review, the court finds that the plaintiff has provided a complete and valid chain of evidence, sufficiently proving that they independently developed the technical proposal for the Gyrfalcon Project. All intellectual property rights fully belong to the plaintiff."The defendant's claims are unfounded. The defendant shall bear all legal costs and issue a public clarification

    My phone buzzed again with a new email notification.It was a formal lawyer's letter from my former company's legal team. In cold black and white, they demanded I "immediately return all proprietary technical data" and "cease all infringing activities".I locked my screen and leaned back, closing my eyes."What do we do now, Elliot?" Walter asked, his voice thick with worry.I opened my eyes and stared at the vibrant but cold city lights blurring past the car window. "What do we do?" I echoed and let out a cold laugh. "We'll gather the original hand-drawn architecture sketches, every revision record, every meeting note, and every single chat log from when we first discussed the project. I don't want a single thing missing."I took a deep breath, and certainty hardened in my voice."If they want to play dirty, fine. I'll strip them bare and toss them back into the gutter."…"So they're suing me, huh?"I crumpled the lawyer's letter and tossed it cleanly into the trash can. "

    Glasses clinked with a sharp, crisp sound, as if shattering every ounce of humiliation we'd suffered."Cheers! We won!"Jason's face was flushed red from excitement. Even Walter, who always wore a poker face, finally had a grin, and I secretly caught Claire wiping her eyes. The meal wasn't fancy, but it felt earned. Every bite hit the spot."Elliot, this one's for you!"Jason stumbled over with a wine glass, and his words slurred slightly. "Elliot, if it wasn't for you back then—""Save it," I cut him off and topped his drink. "We earned this ourselves!"The private room door swung open, and Harvey walked in, laughing. "Celebrating? Let's add another dish!"He signed the waiter to serve a lobster and clapped me on the shoulder. "Impressive work, Mr. Ward. Our company has another project coming up that's no smaller than the Gyrfalcon Project. Are you up for it?"I could feel my team behind me holding their breath. This wasn't just about money; it was a stamp of approval and a

    After working through the night, my team and I arrived at the venue only to find Dominic and Grant blocking our way side by side."Well, if it isn't the manager, Mr. Ward."Dominic gave us a once-over and added, "Are you dragging these two nobodies along to embarrass yourselves?"Grant immediately chimed in, "You give him too much credit, Mr. Thorne. As a loser who can't even get his hands on a pack of paper, what kind of proposal could he possibly offer? He probably scrambled something together at the print shop down the street."A wave of snickering broke out around us."Elliot," Dominic said, adopting the tone of a seasoned mentor. "Youthful passion is great, but you need to know your place."What makes you think your past achievements were actually your doing? They were built on the company's resources, so without our platform, you're nothing. Take my advice; admit defeat and come back. I'll find a spot for you so you won't at least starve."People around us didn't even both
