On my wedding anniversary, I go to Anthony Scroll's company in an attempt to surprise him. No one at the front desk stops me from entering. But what stops me in my tracks is the fact that a photo of me is printed on the welcome mat outside the CEO's office. There's also a sentence printed on the mat that says, "You'll be bestowed with wealth if you step on her face." My hands start trembling out of rage. As soon as I open the door to the office and try to bring up the topic in front of Anthony, Alexis Timmer, a shareholder, as well as one of Anthony's "boys", throws a stack of useless documents at my face instantly. The sharp edges of the papers leave papercuts on my cheek, sending white-hot pain flaring through my senses. Alexis has one leg crossed over the other as she chews on a piece of gum innocently. "Oh, hey Kimberly! Sorry about that. The papers came flying out of my hand for no reason. You see, the programmers are extremely stressed, so the mat is meant for them to vent their stress. "Anthony has agreed to the usage of your photo, by the way. After all, it makes things even livelier for the company. A housewife like you will never understand our niche humor." Anthony takes off his earphones before shooting me a berating glance. Then, he passes a bottle of water to Alexis. "Alex is just like one of the boys. Stop using your own rules to restrict her." As Alexis twists open the bottle cap, she tilts her chin in my direction smugly. "Also, Anthony hates it whenever you show up at the company with your stupid surprises, Kimberly. The food that you bring him always ends up getting eaten by us as a form of punishment."

Not long after that, I ran into Alexis.After her stint in prison, her reputation was utterly ruined, and she could no longer remain in the industry. I heard that she returned to her old hometown and married a man 20 years older than her, who already had three children.One day, I had to go on a business trip and happened to pass through a small town. It was there, by a roadside stall, that I spotted Alexis.She was wearing an old, yellowed apron while scrubbing dishes. Her hair was a disheveled mess, her face was full of wrinkles, and her hands were rough with calluses. Gone was her "geek goddess" image from years back.A drunk man was cursing at her, "You can't even properly clean the dishes! You waste of space! All that money I spent on marrying you back then might as well have been dumped in the trash!"He ended his tirade with a harsh slap across Alexis' face.She clutched at her throbbing cheek, too scared to talk back. All she could do was cry silently.At that moment, sh

Three years later, I started up a new tech company. Backed by solid technical expertise and ample funding, it quickly became a unicorn in the industry.I was no longer the housewife who hid behind the scenes, but the CEO of my own company, which was the new rising star in the technological circle. I was also the idol of countless young women.One day, as my company was interviewing applicants for new hires, I happened to be walking by the interview room when a commotion broke out inside."Please, I'm begging you. Just give me a chance! I might have a criminal record, but I really am very capable! I'm one of the original developers for the "PeaceMind" intelligent algorithm!"The voice sounded rather familiar, so I opened the door and entered.What greeted me was the sight of a haggard-looking man in a cheap suit down on his knees as he clung to the interviewer's leg.It was Anthony, who had been released from prison early. Due to good behavior, his sentence had been reduced by a y

Anthony's and Alexis' cases went to trial soon after.Due to the huge sum of embezzled funds, plus the concrete evidence I provided, neither of them escaped punishment.As the mastermind, Anthony was sentenced to five years in prison, while Alexis, being his accomplice, received three years.The day Anthony was transported to prison, I visited him.Through the glass separating us, I could see that they had shaved his head, and when paired with the prison outfit, he looked even sleazier than normal."I'm here to tell you that the investor back then was actually my senior."When Anthony shot me a disbelieving gaze, I calmly went on, "In truth, you guessed right. I really was the one behind everything."Resentment, hatred, and confusion shone in his eyes. "Why? Just because I photoshopped an ugly photo of you and allowed the company employees to make fun of you?""Of course, that's not all."With that, I showed him a phone recording I had taken of some surveillance footage, which

Faced with the choice of going to prison or losing his company, Anthony chose the latter and signed the papers.Nonetheless, this didn't mean that he had completely given up. He thought that as long as he remained free and still had the technology, he could always make a comeback. Anything was still possible as long as he wasn't in prison.So he shoved all the blame onto Alexis. He told the police that it was her who instructed him to embezzle the funds, that he had simply been manipulated.Alexis was no pushover either. She provided the police with the chat history and voice recordings between her and Anthony, proving that he was the mastermind.The two wasted no time turning on each other in the police station, thoroughly revealing every little thing the other person had done.In the end, both of them were placed under investigation due to all the evidence they themselves provided on each other.To my surprise, while out on bail pending trial, Anthony actually had the audacity
