LOGINLately, my lunch buddy at work, Kaia Watson, always sits there grinning at her phone. Whenever I ask what she's watching, she snaps impatiently, "It's just my lunchtime entertainment. Mind your own business." But before long, I notice everyone in the office staring at their phones during lunch as well. They're completely engrossed, and they break into mocking laughter every few moments. Finally, during one lunch break when no one is around, I take a peek at the video on her phone. It's an AI-generated pornographic video. To my horror, the woman seductively posing in it has my face. Before I can react, Kaia returns to her desk and snatches the phone out of my hands. Seeing my face turn pale with anger, she lets out a dismissive laugh and says, "What? Don't tell me you're about to accuse us of spreading fake rumors about you? If you didn't do it, you wouldn't be so afraid of people talking. "You sneak into the boss' office every day to take your lunch break. I don't think I need to spell out what kind of woman that makes you." Only then do I realize that my colleagues have known all along that I go into that office surreptitiously every day to take a nap. What they don't know is that my father is the owner of the company.

Kaia shouted.Even at a time like this, she was still thinking about how to shift the blame onto someone else.Aaron's expression darkened. Furious that Kaia had turned on him, he began arguing with her on the spot.Listening to their exchange, I finally learned the whole story.Not only had Auva Tech bribed Kaia, but they had also planted Aaron in the commission long ago. It was clear they had planned this for a long time. They intended to use the rumors of adultery to create a scandal and destroy our company's reputation. That way, they could bring us down in one go.Dad lost his patience and made it known that he would sue Kaia on the grounds of malicious corporate sabotage before letting Henry arrest her. The head of Aaron's department in the Securities and Exchange Commission took him away, int
The moment I mentioned Auva Tech, every one of our workers gathered around gasped.The longtime employees all knew the name Auva Tech well. They had always been one of our company's direct competitors. Our companies produced similar products and had comparable brand recognition.However, over the past year or two, Auva Tech had stubbornly continued using outdated core technology. Hence, it had been steadily losing market share to our company.The CEO of Auva Tech had held a longstanding grudge against Dad. Not only had he repeatedly tried to sabotage us during bidding competitions, but he had also smeared our company in the media.Auva Tech had narrowly lost to us in the last bidding project. Even in this race to go public, it was still lagging behind our company.If Auva Tech had given Kaia this prohibited device, then this would no longer be a personal grudge. It had escalated into malicious corporate sabotage.I held up the brooch for everyone to see."If I remember correctly
Dad was right.No one had actually seen the actual census records that supposedly didn't have any information on my family. How could they be so certain that the information hadn't simply been relayed incorrectly?I let out a small sigh of relief.At the same time, I noticed beads of sweat forming on Aaron's forehead. In contrast to him, Kaia still looked completely calm and composed.A sense of unease crept into my heart.I watched as Henry Zeller, the police officer Dad had brought with him, searched for my information in the system once again. Once again, the family information section was still completely blank. According to the records, I was an orphan.Something was terribly wrong. The more I thought about it, the more horrifying it seemed to me. What had Kaia done to tamper with my records?Aaron visibly relaxed and let out a smug chuckle. "Are you satisfied now, Mr. Linden? We've checked everything that needed checking. If you have anything else to say, we can discuss
The moment I saw Dad, who had arrived just in time, relief washed over me.The officials from the Securities and Exchange Commission released me and picked up the birth certificate from the table to carefully peruse it.I watched as one of the officials—the same one who had been exchanging glances with Kaia—looked at the birth certificate and frowned.The undisguised contempt in his tone was unmistakable. "This certificate is obviously fake."The surrounding workers immediately gasped in shock."To think Mr. Linden went as far as forging a fake certificate for Yelena. Looks like they've really gone after the person he cares about most.""If they're going to this much trouble, they must have something to hide. I'm sure there's a lot more going on than we imagined.""That's upper management for you. They must be doing things far more immoral than we could ever imagine."The whispers went on incessantly, and the comments grew increasingly unpleasant.Dad pulled a long face and ba
