Freak

Under my parents' request, I work as the finance officer in my childhood friend, Julius Sanford's company. But the moment he goes on a business trip, the new intern, Lizzie Dalton, rushes into my office and demands that I process her reimbursements. As I stare at the pile of receipts that come from luxury stores, all I feel is shock. "Lizzie, I can only use the company's funds to reimburse business expenses. Why are you asking me for reimbursements when all you did was buy clothes and bags of your own?" But as soon as my words fall, Lizzie splashes a cup of coffee at me instantly. "I'm the lady boss of this company! The company's funds are my funds too! Don't think you can just reject my receipts just because you know my husband!" I do my best to suppress my fury as I dig out the company's policy and reiterate, "No, I seriously cannot do that. The company's cash flow must be reflected in the books." Seeing as I refuse to yield to her no matter what, Lizzie calls Julius on the phone and begins whining to him. "Babe, since when do I need to ask your childhood friend for approval if I want to buy something I like for myself? Or could it be that she's acting so assertively because you two are secretly having an affair?" Julius panics and tells Lizzie that he has nothing to do with me. After that, he quickly releases an announcement on the company group just so he can defend Lizzie. "Lizzie Dalton is my wife! She's the second boss of this company other than me!" After that, Julius tags me in the group. "Hey, finance! You're not my mom here! I don't like you, so please stay out of my private matters! "I'd like nothing more than to let my own wife spend my own money! If you don't like that, you can pack up and leave!" Once Julius makes his stance clear, I change my tune and reimburse Lizzie the expenses she's claimed. But one week later, Julius finds himself staring at the list of debts that's 33 feet long when he returns from his business trip.

Chapter 1
I, Dianne Hayden, was still sorting through the documents that'd been stained with coffee when Lizzie Dalton barged in again.Lizzie tossed her phone onto my desk without the slightest hint of courtesy. "Can't you read, you old hag?" She spat the last three words through clenched teeth before fixing me with a look of pure contempt.I slowly turned my gaze toward the group chat displayed on her screen. Messages from my childhood friend, Julius Sanford, were still flooding in. He tagged everyone in the group and wrote, "While I'm away from the company, everyone is to follow Lizzie's instructions. Her word is my word. Anyone who's unwilling to comply can leave immediately."The next moment, my phone rang."Lizzie already told me what happened. She's part of the company too. Why did you refuse to reimburse her when she came to you? Why are you singling her out?" Julius shouted impatiently at me from the other end of the line.I was just about to explain when his next words shut me

"Let me break it down for everyone. The clothes Dianne wore in these photos are from Burberry. The retail price for these is over 30 thousand dollars. "This bag over here is from Louis Vuitton. You won't be able to get that without at least 100 thousand dollars. Coupled with her shoes, sunglasses, and hair accessories, everything on her would add up to roughly 300 thousand dollars," Lizzie wrote in the company group chat.Then, she sent another photo. "I'm sure everyone knows what brand this car is. Need I say more? Does everyone really think a finance officer would be this wealthy?" she questioned.The group chat that'd been quiet just moments ago instantly blew up. With Julius' earlier remarks backing Lizzie up, several of them began fawning all over her.In fact, some of them even started to make up rumors about me out of thin air."I think I saw her getting into someone's car last week. He looked pretty old…" one of them said."I always knew she was bad news. We'd still be i

My sudden compliance this time seemed to have caught Lizzie off guard. She even froze for a few seconds."That's more like it. You'd be better off knowing your place," she mocked.I turned a deaf ear to her words as I dutifully played the role of her chauffeur.Lizzie headed straight for the luxury boutiques once we'd arrived at the mall. "Take that bag down so I can have a look at it," she demanded.She held the bag against herself before showing it off to me. "Do you think this suits me?""You know what? I'll take it," she declared with a wave of a hand. Lizzie didn't even wait for my response before she decided to buy all five bags she'd just tried.When it came time to pay, she gestured for me to swipe my credit card.I found it simply amusing. "Are you asking me to pay for the things you want to buy? Do you even hear yourself?"Lizzie cast a disdainful glance at me. "You? Do you even have enough money to pay for all this?"She made repeated gestures with her hand. "I'm

The staff at the entrance seemed a little taken aback. Everyone's gaze carried an unmistakable trace of contempt when they looked at me."I'm sorry, miss, that won't be possible," the staff replied.Lizzie took his words to her advantage. She shook her head at me with a sneer. "You heard what he said. You're not allowed to go in. After all, the staff can't guarantee your character when you have a habit of cheating!"As if right on cue, everyone instantly burst out laughing.I smiled nonchalantly. "It's fine. I can wait for you outside."However, my calm reaction only made Lizzie angrier. She rolled her eyes at me and snapped, "There's no need for that. You're done here, now just leave.""Alright." With that, I left without sparing her another glance.I sent the video I'd just organized to Lawrence when I went back to the garage to get my car. "Compile this into a document and send it to me."These were all concrete evidence of workplace bullying and defamation against me. Even

Lizzie was the first to speak out. She pointed straight at me and shouted, "It's you! You're the company's finance officer. All the money's with you, so you must've spent it!"Julius was immediately led astray by her words. He glared at me viciously. "Where did all the money go?"I leaned against the chair nonchalantly. "Lizzie, you of all people should know where the money went."I opened the video I'd previously recorded as soon as my words fell.Lizzie's voice immediately echoed out. "Don't hold back, everyone. Tonight's on me! We'll have a seafood buffet today, and I'll take all of you to dine at the rooftop restaurant downtown tomorrow. It's worth three thousand dollars per person!"This was followed by the sound of cheers.Julius' expression instantly darkened when he heard that. Lizzie snatched my phone away in panic. "This is defamation! You must've edited the video!"She was just about to delete it when the police arrived. I took a look at the time. It'd only been 1

As soon as my words fell, Lizzie's legs gave out as she collapsed to her knees in terror.Her anxious gaze fixed on Julius, desperately hoping he would give the answer she yearned for.Unfortunately, the look on his face said it all."Didn't you say that you owned the company, Julius?" she questioned.Irritation flickered across his face. "Even so, that still doesn't give you the right to spend that much. That's almost ten million dollars we're talking about! Even I wouldn't dare to throw money around like that!"There was a hint of hesitation in his gaze when he turned to look at me again. His tone had softened when he spoke up. "No matter what, Lizzie's still my wife. I admit we were in the wrong, but given the ties between our families all these years, can't you let her off the hook just this once?" he pleaded."What relationship do our families even have? We're just acquaintances, that's all," I replied.To put it plainly, the Sanfords wouldn't have risen to where they wer

Loud arguments instantly echoed out from my phone the moment I opened the video."This is my bag, Miranda! I paid for it, so give it back to me now!" Lizzie shouted.Miranda wasn't one to back down. "You're the one who gave it to me. How can you still ask for it back when you already gave it away? Don't you feel ashamed for acting so despicably?"But Lizzie was nearly driven mad at that point. She couldn't care less about what Miranda had to say.Seeing that she couldn't convince Miranda, Lizzie lunged forward and snatched the bag away by force.The video ended there, followed by a long voice message from Bianca."Guess what happened next, Dianne? The two of them kept tugging at it until the bag became ruined. Now Lizzie's making a big fuss about calling the police."I almost burst out laughing when I envisioned the scene.But that was just the beginning. Lizzie pulled out the restaurant bills when she couldn't get her hands on the bag."All of you have to pay me back for th

I widened my eyes in disbelief. After all, the news was nothing short of shocking to me.Julius, who'd refused to back down just moments earlier, suddenly froze in place. He blinked rapidly before letting out a cold scoff. "This isn't the time for jokes, Dad."William gave him a slap across the face without hesitation. "I'm your father! How could I ever joke about something like this?"Julius nearly lost his mind when he realized William had been telling the truth. He staggered to his feet and bolted out in a frenzy. Afraid that something might happen to Julius, William hurried after him. Unfortunately, it was already too late.Early the next morning, I received a call from the police. Although Lizzie had been arrested, she was currently receiving emergency treatment at the hospital.There was no doubt that the perpetrator was Julius, who had lost all reason in his rage the day before.After learning the truth the day before, Julius set out to find Lizzie while holding a knife
