Chapter 7

Author: Perfect Timing
Franklin looked like he could barely stay standing.

He grabbed my arm and demanded, "Shannon, didn't you say your parents were just farmers? Why does your family own such a huge ranch?"

I shoved him away immediately.

I disgustedly brushed the spot where he'd touched me.

"They are farmers, but whose ancestors weren't farmers three generations back? My parents do in fact raise cattle and sheep."

    Faced with everyone's condemnation, Cindy finally collapsed and fainted.After she was taken away by the police, the company released an official statement announcing her termination and blacklisted her across the entire industry.Cindy was sentenced to three years in prison for defamation and engaging in illicit dealings.David was taken away too.His crimes weren't considered as serious, so he received a two-year sentence.Every employee in the company publicly condemned Cindy's actions and was eager to apologize to me, but I no longer needed their apologies.The moment the truth came out, the company immediately revoked all disciplinary actions against me and issued a public apology.They even enthusiastically offered me double my previous salary, but I still submitted my resignation.Sally left with me too.After everything that happened, I realized that nothing was more reliable than holding power in your own hands.I decided to open a studio of my own.I started from s

My parents do in fact raise cattle and sheep."Franklin seemed filled with regret.There was even a trace of resentment in his voice."But you never told me your family operated on this kind of scale!"Looking at the familiar yet strangely unfamiliar face before me, I laughed.Maybe I'd never truly known him at all.To fully clear everything up, the police requested the hotel surveillance footage.Every single clip proved that while meeting clients for business, I had simply been selling them beef and lamb products.Even the advertisements and WhatsApp messages were clearly about beef and lamb.The footage from my conflict with D

    The moment the police arrived, everyone froze.I didn't care about any of that. I immediately ran over and said, "Officers, I want to report someone for defamation. Please help me seek justice!"Franklin, however, grabbed my wrist and snapped, "Shannon, are you done causing a scene?"Are you really taking this to the police? Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough already?"Clearly, everyone else in the company felt the same way.I ignored him and calmly explained the entire situation to the officers.The lead officer's gaze swept across the room."You people are slandering someone without concrete evidence. Is everyone in this company illiterate?"More than half the people present instinctively lowered their heads.Franklin still sounded completely confident. "Officer, we're not slandering her. We have evidence."As he spoke, he handed over all the photos and videos David had provided, along with the torn remains of my property deed.A flash of guilt quickly crossed Cindy a

    The moment they heard I was talking about beef and lamb, everyone exchanged confused looks.Cindy ran forward, snatched the documents from my hands, and immediately declared they were fake."You're lying! Those pictures are obviously taken from the internet, and the deed must be forged too!"I looked at her coldly and smirked sarcastically."So not only are you terrible at your job, but you're an actual idiot too."That's an official government seal stamped on there. No matter how capable I am, do you really think I can influence the County Recorder's Office?"At that moment, one of the board members stepped forward to inspect the deed.Confusion, shock, and regret appeared on his face as he looked at me like he wanted to say something.After a long pause, he finally sighed helplessly. "This property deed is real."Cindy's expression instantly turned awful. She repeatedly examined the photos and deed.The listed operator's name was mine.Reluctant to give up, she demanded, "

The witness the female lead found is about to ruin her reputation forever and leave her with nothing.]The moment I saw David Leroy standing behind the other board members, I cursed on the inside.The second David saw me, his eyes filled with fury as he sneered contemptuously."I can testify that Shannon is a shameless wretch who'll do anything for a contract!"She invited me to a hotel and tried to sell herself to me, but I'm a married man. After I rejected her, she drugged me and tried to force herself on me anyway!"I was terrified. After that, I never worked with her again."Hearing his accusation, I laughed outright.I stared at him coldly and shot back, "Oh really?
