The company holds a management meeting. My wife's secretary, Lisa Carter, is checking IDs at the conference room entrance. She greets everyone who enters with a warm smile. But when it is my turn, she lets out a scornful laugh. I frown and pull out my Cybersecurity Department Manager's ID, but she doesn't even glance at it. "Mr. Torres, Ms. Shaw took pity on you and made you a manager. Do you really think you're somebody important?" I ignore her and dial the CEO's direct line instead. "Someone's saying my position is just charity from you. Is it true?"

I Was Fired, but Her Empire Turned to Ashes Chapter 10
Just a few days after returning home, Wendy showed up at my door again."What do you want now?" I asked impatiently as I opened the door.Her face looked pale and weak, and she hesitated for a long time before saying, "I received the divorce papers. How could you do this?"I leaned against the doorframe and raised an eyebrow. "You cheated first. Of course, I'm filing for divorce."At that, tears immediately streamed down Wendy's face."Can't you help me one more time for my grandpa's sake? My company is really in trouble now…"I had known this was the reason she came today."Does he know you're here?" I asked.Wendy no longer had the arrogance she'd shown when firing me. She just shook her head slightly.I called Michael right in front of her, briefly explained the situation, and then asked for his advice.There was a long silence on the other end of the line, and then he let out a snort. I could tell he was still angry."Julian, you handle it however you see fit."After ha

"You think Julian is just some ordinary programmer? He's a top-tier hacker whom I went to great lengths to recruit using old connections. I was doing you a favor by setting him up with you," Michael explained. Wendy froze momentarily. When she finally spoke again, her voice was full of disbelief. "Him?"Michael continued, "Yes, it's him. I specifically set him up with you, and look at what you've done. You're pregnant with someone else's child. I'm beyond disappointed."I could tell she hadn't grasped the gravity of the situation yet. The information overload left her momentarily stunned. But the way she looked at me had genuinely changed.Michael explained again, "You really thought I recruited him here years ago just to provide simple security for your company?""It wasn't?" Wendy asked, completely dumbfounded. He sneered and said, "That was secondary. The main purpose was to protect Shaw Group's collaborative project with the government. If that information leaked, the conse

"That's impossible!"Asher couldn't believe it. His whole body began trembling slightly."I followed the course and the instructor step by step. There's no way it could go wrong.""Really? Which instructor?" I asked casually.His blood boiled over, and he roared at me, "Shut up! Who cares which instructor it was? Are you trying to kick me while I'm down?"I let out a derisive laugh. I didn't need to guess since it was obviously some random online instructor and a coding course. With just two days of lessons, his confidence had skyrocketed. His supposed company in Camberford was probably just for show."W-What do we do now?" Wendy panicked. Although she managed a tech firm, she had no real idea how any of it worked.In contrast, Michael looked even more distressed."The firewall is gone?"I saw he was showing signs of oxygen deprivation again and quickly stepped forward to support him."Mr. Shaw Senior, don't worry. The core files still have my defense system. The current th

Wendy was just as shocked as I was. She hurried forward to greet Michael."Grandpa, aren't you supposed to be at the nursing home?"Michael's face betrayed no curiosity, only a sharp sternness aimed at her."Nursing home? If I'd stayed there any longer, you would've run your own company into the ground. Apologize to Julian right now."Wendy hadn't expected that Michael's first words would be this, and she couldn't accept it. In just a few sentences, he had already triggered her rebellious streak."Grandpa! I don't care who told you all this, but why does it have to be Julian? What if I insist on keeping Asher?"Michael's frown deepened. His piercing gaze swept over Asher, who stood silently to the side, and he let out a cold snort. "He's not qualified."At those words, both Wendy's and Asher's faces fell.It took Wendy a long moment to speak again, her face ashen. "You're always like this… You've tried to control my life since I was little. Well, today I'm definitely choosing A
