作者: Perfect Timing
After the storm, the company's reputation bounced back stronger.

Our "sticking to the rules" style became a golden sign, attracting those who shared our values.

"I applied after seeing that wedding stream. Ma'am, your actions were awesome!" said a newly-joined programmer.

The better news? Victoria and Chloe returned after it all settled.

"Paige, we still wanna work with you," Victoria said emotionally on rehire day.

I nodded with a smile. "Welcome home."

Chloe scratched her head. "I'm sorry for ever doubting you, Ms. Russell."

"It's all in the past," I said smoothly. "Look forward."

"This is our home," Victoria added.

The team reunited, and everyone fired up.

"Let's have dinner together, my treat," I announced.

The office erupted in cheers.

I reflected on my management style, realizing that rules needed firmness and communication needed transparency. For that drive, I pushed for clearer policy postings and added employee care channels.

At the all-hands, I declared, "We don

    Pushed to the brink, people would turn or warp. Ainsley chose the latter.Unable to pay the huge compensation, she became a pariah whom everyone despised, but instead of reflecting on her mistakes, she blamed me for all her woes.She believed I ruined her life, and her mind grew twisted.A few months later, rumors about me popped online again, claiming that I had abused my power and capital to blacklist others. They were the same old counts from those alt accounts.Before I could respond, the netizens saw it through.[Ainsley Castillo? Still at it?][Proof? Just talk?][Believe a deadbeat? Hilarious.]The posts got reported and deleted fast before any waves could be made. When her effort online failed, she resorted to real-life harassment.She found the company's new address. "I wanna see Paige Russell! Get her here now!"She tried barging into the office, but the receptionists and security blocked her. "Sorry, no appointment, no entry.""Move! This is between me and her!" s

    The day after the wedding fiasco, the company's legal team and Victoria's lawyers filed lawsuits simultaneously.Online opinion flipped one-sided. Ainsley's exploits became the net's new punchline.The evidence was solid and complete, so the court moved fast.A month later, the verdict came. The court ruled Ainsley guilty of malicious defamation, fabricating facts, inciting cyberbullying, and severely damaging my company and my reputation. She must post a pinned apology on all major social platforms' homepages for 30 straight days.And she was asked to compensate for my losses and mental damages to Victoria and others, totaling 1.8 million dollars, which she couldn't pay.To make things worse, the wedding planner, the hotel, and the sponsor's penalties piled up—another huge sum.Soon, for failing to comply, she got listed as a deadbeat, restricted from luxury spending, riding planes or trains, and borrowing loans.Donovan had ghosted her since the next day of the wedding.

    Donovan stared at the screenshots for a full half-minute. Then he slowly turned to Ainsley, his expression a despairing calm.He took off his boutonniere and tossed it on the ground. He grabbed the mic and croaked, "Ainsley, you make me sick!"He faced the guests and the live camera, announcing, "I declare this wedding canceled. I'll reserve the right to pursue Ainsley Castillo for her deceptive actions."He walked offstage without looking back. Ainsley let out a piercing wail. "Donovan, come back!" She tried to chase after him, but the guards stopped her. She shouted desperately, "Let me go! Donovan, wait!"Donovan's parents stood up from their seats, cursing at Ainsley's parents. "What kind of daughter did you raise? A total liar! You all aimed to scam our money! Give it back!"Ainsley's mother rushed up, grabbing the hair of Donovan's mother. "Nonsense! Your son is useless! Can't even protect my daughter!"Ainsley's father roared, "You'll get nothing back! You've ruined my d

    With the facts staring her down, Ainsley couldn't argue. The panic on her face vanished, replaced by a twisted rage.She screamed, "Paige Russell! You're just jealous of me!"She pointed at me, her finger shaking. "Jealous that I'm getting married! Jealous that I'm happier than you!"She threw a tantrum, trying to muddy the waters. "You're wrecking my wedding on purpose, you toxic bitch!"She turned to the camera, crying out, "Everyone, be the judge! Even if I have just started, can't I get married? Her company is uncivilized! She just has it out for me! Deliberately making things hard for me!"She tried twisting the rules issue back into a moral one, stirring up viewer emotions.I didn't yell back; I just calmly faced the camera. "These rules apply equally to everyone. Probation or full-time, all must follow. It isn't personal, but you used public opinion to attack the company and me. That's sheer slandering.""Shut up!" she shrieked, turning to the groom and grabbing his arm.

    "She hadn't passed probation that day," I pointed out, looking at Ainsley. "Let me clarify. The company didn't deny a reasonable wedding leave request. What I denied was an unreasonable demand from someone who'd been on the job for just two days. Still on probation, she was trying to claim full employee benefits and using public pressure to force it."My voice echoed through the room, silencing everyone. The screen behind me switched to the live chat.Comments scrolled like crazy, words blurring.[Holy crap? Did I hear that right? Just two days?][Two days, and demanded wedding leave? Shame on her!][Isn't it common sense that probation doesn't get full perks? This girl has got issues?][I really thought it was a heartless boss. Turns out it's a giant baby employee.][This is straight-up causing trouble? Plot twist!]The tide turned in an instant, and Ainsley's face turned ashen. She clutched her gown, shaking with fear and anger. "I just started. I didn't know."She scrambled
