As I was about to leave my brother’s restaurant, the female manager stopped me. "Miss, excuse me, but you haven’t paid your bill." I looked at the unfamiliar face and thought that she was probably new and didn’t recognize me, so I explained politely, "Just put it on the owner’s tab. He knows me." The manager shot me a disdainful look. "Miss, this is a Michelin three-star restaurant. We don’t let just anyone run up a tab." She handed me a printed bill. I glanced at it. Fifty thousand dollars for one meal. Three thousand for tableware maintenance, five thousand for exclusive air purification, ten thousand for a VIP mood-calming service fee, and a bunch of other ridiculous charges. I didn’t even know my brother’s place was such a scam. I couldn’t help but laugh in disbelief. "I’m the owner’s sister. If there’s a problem, tell him to talk to me at home." But she just wouldn’t drop it. "If you can’t afford it, stop acting like you can. And don’t act like you know Mr. Dennis, either." I fired off a quick text to my secretary. Tell my brother to either fire this manager or I’m pulling my investment.
View MoreI pulled all my investments from that Michelin-starred restaurant. The deputy CEO and the core team resigned together and followed me to start something new.In less than six months, my new restaurant quickly made a name for itself, setting a new standard in the industry with its superior service and cuisine.As for Dennis's restaurant, after losing its core team and funding as well as suffering the adverse effects from the Jessica Thompson scandal, it quickly went downhill and closed for good.I heard Dennis tried to use the twenty thousand dollars I gave him to start a few small businesses, but he lost it all.He had grown up used to spending money without a care and had no idea how to live frugally or make ends meet.It didn't take long before he ran out of money and couldn't even pay his rent.Later, I heard from Mary about what became of him. She said he was working as a waiter in a bar, forced to smile and serve the very people he had once looked down on.One time, one of
Everything that happened afterward went even more smoothly than I had expected.The evidence against Jessica was overwhelming. There was security camera footage from the restaurant, my medical report, and the transfer record of the money. With the testimony of the two security guards, she didn't stand a chance.She was sentenced to three years in prison.I heard that even in court, she kept crying out Dennis's name, insisting he would come save her. But by then, Dennis was already in no position to help anyone. After I kicked him out of the manor, he was left with nothing.All those so-called friends who used to hang around him disappeared without a trace.He tried to see our father, but Dad shut him out completely as he was still bitter over what had happened years ago, and he was also pressured by me.He tried going back to the company, but the security guards wouldn't even let him into the lobby. He was treated like a total loser.He finally got a taste of what it was like to
I took out my phone and called my assistant, putting it on speaker."Madam," my assistant answered respectfully."Notify the legal and security departments," I spoke, my voice cold. "First of all, take back all properties and vehicles under Dennis's name, as well as the black card ending in 8888. Freeze the card immediately and have the ownership transfer paperwork ready first thing in the morning."Secondly, reclaim all shares granted to Dennis and remove him from every company project on behalf of the White Group board."Thirdly, let the manor's security team know that Dennis is no longer the owner as of this moment. He has ten minutes to leave. The only thing he's allowed to take with him is the clothes on his back. Is that clear?""Yes, Madam. I'll take care of it right away," my assistant replied without hesitation.I hung up and put my phone back in my bag, not bothering to look at Dennis again. He looked like all the strength had been drained out of him. He slumped on the
I used all my strength to slap Dennis, and his head snapped to the side as a clear handprint bloomed across his cheek.He was completely stunned, and so was everyone else in the room.He held his face, staring at me in disbelief. The fury in his eyes soon turned to humiliation. "You... you hit me?!""I hit you to wake you up." My voice was as cold as ice.I looked around at everyone gathered in the living room, then turned my gaze back to Dennis's face. "You all think he's the one in charge here. That he's the so-called scion of the White family, right?"No one dared to make a sound.I let out a short chuckle, but my smile was humorless."Dennis, is that what you've always thought, too? Do you really believe you are born to have everything? This manor, the luxury car outside, shares in the company, and that credit card with no limit that I gave you?"He didn't answer, but the stubborn look in his eyes was all the proof I needed to see."Have you ever wondered why..." I continu
All the color instantly drained from Jessica's face. She shrieked in terror as she held on to Dennis's arm as though it were her last lifeline. "Dennis! Help me! I don't want to go to the police station! Say something! Tell them it was a misunderstanding! It was all just a misunderstanding!"Dennis's face was also extremely sour. His girlfriend was about to be taken away by the police, with all his friends watching. This was even more humiliating than being publicly slapped.He turned around, gritting his teeth as he glared at me and said. "Do you really have to go this far?"I stared at him coldly, not saying a word. He took a deep breath, then forced a smile as he turned to the officers. "Officer, it's just a misunderstanding. This is my sister, and that's my girlfriend. They had a little disagreement, but I've already taught Jessica a lesson."He tried to put himself between Jessica and the police. "It's late, and there's no need to cause any trouble. We can handle this ourselve
The temperature in the room seemed to have dropped to absolute zero. The only sound left was the sharp click of my heels against the floor.Step by step, I walked toward the couple sitting in the center of the living room.Dennis's expression turned from shock to pure fear, his skin becoming pale. He instinctively let go of Jessica, as if he wanted to get up, but when his eyes landed on Jessica's tear-streaked face, he hesitated, torn between guilt and fear.In the end, that fear turned into a laughable, blustering boldness. He stayed put and kept on staring at me, as if that could hide how anxious he was inside.Jessica's pupils shrank the instant she recognized me, but she recovered quickly. After all, this was Dennis's territory, and she was surrounded by so many of his friends. Instead of backing down, she clung even tighter to Dennis, crying louder."Dennis, that's her... She's the one who bullied me..." She sobbed as she shot me a look that was both spiteful and triumphant,
