LOGINRight after I am done with a meeting, I scroll through social media and come across a warning post with my company's location tagged. The title reads, "Avoid this place! Anyone who comes here is a sucker. The company is so stingy that it can't even provide decent snacks." The photos show the Starbucks drinks and five-star desserts I just asked my assistant to distribute to everyone. I frown and tag everyone in the group chat, asking for suggestions about the teatime snacks. A Gen Z intern, Alice Grimes, immediately sends a voice message, "No offense, Ms. Knox, but these mass-produced desserts are full of trans fats. Even dogs wouldn't eat them. A good company would hire Kitchelin chefs to cook on-site. Now that's called having true respect for employees." I laugh in disbelief. My company spends 50 dollars per person on daily tea time, which is considered top-tier in the industry. So, I reply, "Since it's hard to please everyone, we'll cancel teatime from now on and convert it into a cash allowance for everyone." Less than five minutes later, there is a new update in the social media post. "Guys, you won't believe this. I made a reasonable suggestion, and the petty boss just cut our teatime perk! This is how a typical capitalist behaves. They can't handle any honest feedback."

"That's my money. I'm willing to give it to Callie because she deserves it. But you? You don't deserve it at all."As for you, Alice Grimes."Alice had completely lost her previous arrogance. Her makeup was ruined, her hair was disheveled, and she looked like an absolute clown."I will not accept any settlement outside of court."I made my words clear to her. "Prepare to be locked up behind bars—or be burdened with debt for the rest of your life."Five million dollars might just mean a bag or another car to me, but to you, that's your entire future on the line."Enjoy the sweet fruits of your labor from 'challenging workplace norms'."After I was done speaking, I didn't look at them anymore and just took Dad's hand, walking toward the Maybach."Let's go, Dad."Alice's loud, heart-wrenching wails
"F-Five million dollars?"Alice's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground. The demand letter in her hand fluttered to the ground as well.Her eyes were blown out and filled with fear and disbelief."No way… That's impossible… Ms. Knox… She's just a small business owner… How could she be a billionaire's daughter…"I just posted something online… I just wanted to protect my rights…""Protect your rights?" Hector echoed, looking at her coldly. "Protecting your rights means upholding your legitimate rights, not fabricating facts or inciting cyberbullying. Your behavior is a crime."The other influencers around her were also shocked. Some of them even silently turned off their live streams and tried to slink away, but the bodyguards had already formed a circle around them, preventing anyone from getting away.Hector then turned to address the influencers. "Dear influencers, your forwarding and dissemination of rumors without verification also constitutes an infringement."My
A convoy of black Maybachs rolled to a smooth stop in front of the company building.The scene fell silent instantly.Then, a middle-aged man in a dark gray bespoke suit stepped out of one of the cars.He stood right there without a word, naturally emanating an oppressive, authoritative aura. It made any onlooker feel hard-pressed to breathe.That man was my dad, Philip Knox.He was frequently featured in financial news headlines and also at the top of the Fords list of billionaires.Dad looked around, his gaze lingering for a second on the banner that read "Heartless bitch" and frowning at that.Then, he turned to look at me.His sharp eyes softened at once as he gave me a doting, affectionate look. "Hey, Jackie."I called out to him aggrievedly. "Hey, Dad."The comments in the live stream exploded in shock."What the fuck? Who's that? Isn't that Philip Knox from Knox Group?""Oh my God, it really is him! The richest billionaire in the country! I've seen him on the news be
The next day, I witnessed a spectacular scene as soon as I arrived downstairs at the company building.The entrance was completely blocked by a large crowd.Aside from Alice and her darling group of followers demanding their "wages" from me, there were several influencers with her, holding selfie sticks and cameras.Clearly, these were Alice's "media friends" she'd brought with her.She stood at the frontmost spot with a large black-and-white sign that read, "Give me back my money, Jacqueline Knox! You heartless bitch!"Gerard, Lucy, Fiona, and a few other employees look dejected, but they were forced to cooperate with Alice to pose as victims.In fact, Lucy was also holding her toddler.The poor little boy was so scared by the hullabaloo that he wouldn't stop crying, and Lucy kept comforting him while wiping away the tears on his face. It was such a sad scene that made anyone feel bad for them.It really was such a dramatic scene.As soon as I got out of the car, Alice immedi
