No More Free Rides Chapter 10
"Thank you for the compliment." My tone was flat, like I was stating something trivial."Oh, and Mr. Carter, there's something you might not know. Your assets have already been frozen."I looked at him, a faint smile at the corner of my lips. "And your partner left yesterday. Took your jewelry with her."James' eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.The officers dragged him away, along with Wade, who was still trembling. Selena shrank into the corner, trying to make herself invisible.One of the officers looked at her. "You're Selena Rogers?"She shuddered. "I… I didn't break the law…""Someone has filed a complaint against you for defamation and extortion. Come with us to assist with the investigation."As Selena was taken away, she clung desperately to the doorframe, her nails scraping against the wood with a harsh sound."Jennifer… you won't get away with this!"I stood there, watching the conference room lapse back into silence. I took a slow breath.The air sti

"You were the one who drove away the person covering for you."Right then, the conference room door slammed open.Selena burst in, her hair a mess, clutching a crumpled résumé in her hand. Her eyes landed instantly on James, pinned to the table, and then on me standing at the head of the room."Ms…?"She froze. Every word she had prepared got stuck in her throat.Security rushed in behind her, out of breath."Ms. Smith, sorry about this. This woman insisted on barging in. She said she was here to apply for a cleaning job…"I glanced at Selena. The way she looked now, she was not much better than someone off the street."Ms. Smith! I know I was wrong!" Selena snapped back to herself and stood straight."It was all James’ fault! He forced me! He told me to report you because you were stealing his spotlight! I'm innocent!"She took a few steps forward, trying to grab the hem of my skirt. One of the bodyguards kicked her hand away. She flinched in pain, her face streaked with tea

At ten o'clock on Friday morning, the first conference room of the Smith Group was already immaculate, the long mahogany table gleaming under the lights as the air conditioning ran high, filling the space with a sharp, biting chill.James sat at the head of the left side, but his forehead was covered in sweat. He kept wiping it, all while dealing with Wade beside him."Mr. Carter, this acquisition is basically a done deal, right? I heard that the Smith Group is very generous. If we get absorbed into them, our salaries could double." Wade adjusted his tie, greed practically shining in his eyes.James shot him a glare. "Keep your mouth shut. When you meet their executives, don't say anything unnecessary. If they ask about the accounts, just say it was a system error.""Don't worry, Mr. Carter. Everything's been taken care of."The conference room doors opened.Adrian walked in with several legal and audit staff. James and Wade jumped to their feet, all smiles and flattery."Mr. Co

Top floor of the Smith Group. Executive office.I sat behind a wide desk, flipping through a thick stack of documents.The financial reports of Bluebell Bio Tech looked almost flawless. If I had not spent three years there myself, if I had not seen how aggressively they cut costs, I might have believed those numbers just like anyone else."Ms. Smith, this is the preliminary audit report you requested."Adrian placed a file in front of me. His expression was slightly strange."This James has some nerve," he said, turning the pages, his tone calm. "Every year, there's a five-hundred-thousand 'commuting subsidy' listed in the accounts. However, in the employees' payroll records, that money never appears."I stopped on one page, my fingertip lightly tapping the number."Because it was never paid to the employees at all. He assumed those two shuttle vans were extra resources the company secured, or some kind of administrative benefit. So he quietly diverted the subsidy that should ha

The car door shut, sealing out the noise and the pounding rain. Inside, the temperature was perfect. The faint scent of agarwood lingered in the air. I leaned back against the leather seat and looked outside through the tinted glass.Selena was still clutching her rain-soaked coffee cup, her mouth hanging open in shock.Wade had dropped his folder, muddy water splashing all over his pants."Ms. Smith, would you like to head back to the main residence? Mr. Smith is currently in a meeting with several board members. When he heard you were coming back, he delayed the meeting by half an hour."The driver, Donald, held the steering wheel steady, his tone respectful.I pulled my gaze back and adjusted my sleeve. "Not the residence. Take me to headquarters.""Understood."The Maybach eased forward, its tires rolling through the flooded street. Water splashed up in a arc, landing squarely on the people standing by the roadside.Selena shrieked and stumbled backward. Her heel twiste

That twisted, robber-style logic actually made me laugh."Mr. Carter, I stopped the shuttle because the administrative department ruled that I was in violation and fined me for it." I pushed the penalty notice toward him.He did not even glance at it. He waved his hand and knocked it aside."Don't give me that useless procedural nonsense! You're a sales manager. You're supposed to see the bigger picture!"The Smith Group is about to acquire Bluebell Bio Tech, and right at this critical moment, this kind of mess happens. If it delays the acquisition, can you afford the consequences?"I froze for a second.That was when I remembered mentioning to my dad before that I wanted to bring Bluebell Bio Tech under the Smith Group.I had not expected him to already set things in motion.Seeing me fall silent, James Carter loosened his tie and pointed at the copy of the rental contract, speaking with complete confidence."Since you've been paying for the vans these past three years, that
