Chapter 8

Author: Slate Gray
Thomas took a step forward and pointed the tip of his blade directly at my face. "Sign it now! And you're going to pay us a million dollars in emotional damages!"

I stared at them coldly. "And if I don't?"

Thomas cursed loudly and swung the knife down toward my arm.

I twisted out of the way, but the blade still sliced a gash through my jacket, leaving a stinging pain on my forearm.

Without a second of hesitation, I whipped out the pepper spray and unleashed a heavy stream into Thomas' face.

  • Framed for Kickbacks at My Boss' Secret Farm   Chapter 11

    Millie gave a nod of deep satisfaction. "Ethan certainly wasn't wrong about you. Starting tomorrow, report directly to the CEO's office."Marilyn's case moved through the legal system at breakneck speed.It turned out that the two million dollars of corporate funds she had embezzled had been funneled into a shell company, leaving her with absolutely nothing.When the loan shark enforcers couldn't track her down, they went straight to her parents' house.Red paint was splashed all over their apartment hallway.During the altercation with the collectors, her parents were pushed down the stairs, leaving both of them in the hospital with severe fractures.They no longer had the time or strength to come to our lobby to beg for mercy.On the day of the sentencing, I attended the court session as a key witness.Marilyn stood in the defendant's dock.In just a matter of months, she looked as though she had aged a decade. Her hair was brittle, and her eyes were hollow and vacant.When

    Millie didn't pull her punches. She rained one brutal slap after another down onto Marilyn's face.Marilyn shrieked erratically as fresh blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.She thrashed violently, her hands clawing blindly at the air. "Sheryl! You bitch! You teamed up with her to play me!"I stood a few paces away, coldly watching the spectacle.She was right. This was a trap.The moment those photos leaked last night, I had contacted Millie.I forwarded her every shred of evidence detailing how Marilyn had hired someone to stalk us and orchestrate a blackmail scheme.Millie was a smart woman. She realized instantly that she was being used.I had her slap me earlier to make Marilyn lower her guard entirely and force her to reveal her final hand.Now, Marilyn was beaten black and blue, curled up on the carpet, and wailing.Suddenly, the conference room doors rattled violently from the outside.The lock gave way, and Thomas stormed into the room with some thugs.Catc

    The next morning, the second I arrived at the office building, I was instantly ambushed by a swarm of internet influencers and livestreamers wielding smartphones."Ms. Gibson, are the photos online authentic?""Did you actually sleep your way to the top for a promotion?""Please answer the netizens' questions directly!"Microphones were practically shoved into my mouth.I ignored them entirely and used a security escort to wedge my way through the crowd and into the lobby.The moment the elevator doors slid open on our floor, a huge commotion caught my attention from the admin department.A woman dressed in extravagant designer labels and drenched in heavy jewelry stood in the center of the open-plan office.It was Ethan's wife, Millie Byrne.She practically never set foot in the office, but that day, she was radiating fury.To my surprise, Marilyn was there too.Seated in her wheelchair, she was actively fanning the flames from the sidelines."Mrs. Keller, I was terminated

She immediately curled up, clutching her abdomen and wailing in pain.I pulled out my phone and dialed emergency services at once."There's an armed robbery in progress in the underground parking lot. I have neutralized the sus

    Every single colleague who had dragged my name through the mud and mocked me in the group chat was now staring down at the floor, not daring to meet my eyes.Ethan stepped onto the stage and took the microphone. "Sheryl has carried an immense, unfair burden over the past few days. Effective immediately, she's promoted to administrative director, with her salary doubled."Furthermore, for anyone who participated in spreading these rumors or joined the dogpile to attack her, your bonuses for this month are entirely forfeited, and you will receive a formal written warning."A collective groan rippled through the room, but nobody dared to utter a single word of protest.Standing on the stage, I scanned those familiar faces.I used to think working in administration was simply about being of service to everyone.I now understood that in the corporate world, your kindness must be armed with a sharp edge.Once the meeting adjourned, Julio walked over to me. "Sheryl, that was legendary.

    Marilyn's face turned pale instantly, and her entire body trembled.The doors to the conference room were pushed wide open.Julio stepped inside in a well-fitted suit. Holding a digital tablet, he connected it directly to the projector setup."Hello, everyone. I'm Julio Keller, and I run the farm where the team-building trip took place."The room erupted into an absolute uproar.Marilyn collapsed back into her chair, her lips trembling uncontrollably. "Y-You're Mr. Keller's son?"Julio let out a cold sneer, not even bothering to look her way. "Sheryl, everything is ready."The image on the big screen shifted.The blurry screenshots were gone, replaced by high-definition security footage.On screen, Marilyn was cornering Julio in the farm's back courtyard, grabbing him by the arm."Listen, handsome. There are tens of thousands of dollars in profit on this team-building trip. Kick half of it back to me, and I'll make sure all future company orders go to you."In the video, Jul
