The backlash kept snowballing, to the point that it even started affecting Solance Corp's stock price.Under pressure, Mr. Calvin Solance had no choice but to temporarily suspend me.Upon learning that I'd been suspended, Felicia texted me right away. Smugness bled through her words.She said, "Wendy, if you hadn't snitched to Mrs. Clooney, they wouldn't have divorced, and I wouldn't be drowning in debt right now. I'd still be living my best life as the boss' daughter. You ruined everything for me, so don't think you're getting off easy. This is what you get for crossing me!"I merely laughed. "You've got it wrong. You're the one who won't be getting off easy."Felicia replied, "What do you mean?"Before she even came around, I went online and posted my employment contract.I wrote, "This is Wendy Johansson. My relationship with Solance Corp's president is strictly professional. I earned my position through legitimate employment, not through anything else."The truth speaks for

While I was out there living my best life, James' world was falling apart.I heard Angelica had filed for divorce and had taken Julia with her. She even demanded James return the massive savings she'd put up as the company's startup capital.The company had already lost half its business after I quit. Now, with that payout on top of everything else, they were on the verge of collapse.James blamed everything on Felicia. The once-loving father-daughter duo turned on each other overnight.He accused her of stirring up trouble, while she blamed him for being heartless and never acknowledging her or her mother. If he had, she wouldn't have been looked down on as an illegitimate child.As things got worse, James finally started to miss me. He even tried calling to win me back.He said, "I've already fired that ungrateful daughter of mine, Wendy. We'll be getting rid of that ridiculous check-in policy too. How about you reconsider coming back? I'll give you a 500-dollar raise right awa

Felicia's face flushed red under everyone's gaze. She shot me a vicious look.She said, "Stop spouting nonsense, Wendy! That's slander! I can sue you for defamation right now!"I didn't panic and simply connected my phone to the big screen in a calm manner. Then, I pulled up her posts in front of everyone.I said, "You were the one who uploaded these posts and said James is your dad. You even posted photos of your family traveling together. So how exactly am I slandering you?"Felicia's face went pale. She hadn't expected me to come across her posts.Gossip spread like wildfire in the conference room at once."So Felicia is actually Mr. Clooney's illegitimate daughter? Now that you mention it, they do look alike!""Mr. Clooney has always played the part of a devoted husband, but turns out he has an illegitimate daughter as old as his own daughter?""Didn't he marry into his wife's family too? This company only exists because of his wife's family money, and yet he's so ungratefu

Everyone in the group chat started piling emoticons expressing regret.I locked my phone and turned to walk out of the conference room without looking back.The moment I stepped out, James' phone rang.When the call was connected, whatever the person on the other end said made him blurt out, "What? Ms. Jesselton, you want to cancel the partnership? Why? Did we do something wrong? Hello? Ms. Jesselton? Hello—"I scoffed quietly.It seemed like my coursemates were already making moves.Sensing something was off, Felicia quickly asked, "What's going on?"James waved it off irritably. "It's nothing. Ms. Jesselton from the maternity products company suddenly wants to cancel the partnership. It's fine. It's not like we only rely on her as our client. We can always find another—"Before he could finish, several calls started coming in one after another. Every single one was from partners pulling out of deals that had already been in progress. Some were even willing to pay breach pen

Felicia hadn't expected me to retaliate like that. She shot me a vicious look, then immediately teared up. She put her hand to her chest and started playing the victim. "Look how Wendy is slandering me, Mr. Clooney! Do you really think you landed those big deals on your own without the company's help, Wendy? They came because of the company's reputation. What does that have to do with you?"She continued, "Just because you ran around for a few days and closed a couple of deals, you think you're a big deal and trying to threaten the company? Dream on!"With Felicia stirring things up and me refusing to back down, James' temper finally snapped. He slammed the table hard.He said, "Fine, Wendy. You want to quit? Then quit! No one's stopping you! This company doesn't revolve around any one person. Don't get ahead of yourself!"The reason you're so outstanding now is not because of your own ability—it's the company's platform making you look good. You're nothing without me and the com

Did Felicia really think such a sloppy setup could fool everyone here?But I hadn't expected Mr. Clooney to still take her side even with such an obvious frame job. He'd even turned it back on me.He said, "Enough, Wendy! If you hadn't ignored basic workplace decency and blown this out of proportion to the point of irritating Felicia, she wouldn't have gone online to vent."Yes, Felicia was wrong, but you're not completely blameless either. I don't care how it started. What matters is that your actions damaged the company's image in the end. It's only fair that you take full responsibility."He continued, "You'd better own up to everything before this blows up any further, Wendy. Go live, apologize to Felicia publicly, and hand over your year-end bonus to her as compensation."Mr. Clooney's words left everyone in the room stunned.A colleague who was close to me spoke up for me. "Felicia was clearly the one targeting Wendy first, Mr. Clooney. She's also the one who edited that vi
