Chapter 12

Penulis: Vicky
This move completely reversed Jackson Construction International's reputation against the tide.

The company that had once been vilified across the internet miraculously came back to life.

Half a year later, the Summit Project held its topping-out ceremony.

I stood on the roof of the 56-story building, wearing a safety helmet, looking down at the city below.

The wind was strong, messing up my hair.

James stood beside me. "Congratulations. You did it."

"Yes," I said with deep emotion. "Back

    This move completely reversed Jackson Construction International's reputation against the tide.The company that had once been vilified across the internet miraculously came back to life.Half a year later, the Summit Project held its topping-out ceremony.I stood on the roof of the 56-story building, wearing a safety helmet, looking down at the city below.The wind was strong, messing up my hair.James stood beside me. "Congratulations. You did it.""Yes," I said with deep emotion. "Back then, 10 thousand felt like an insurmountable chasm. Now it seems it was the ticket that allowed me to be reborn.""Cameron was sentenced," James said as he handed me a document. "15 years behind bars. He behaved very badly—word was that he went insane, shouting every day that he was the CEO and ordering people to grind coffee for him."I took the verdict, didn't even glance at it, and threw it straight into the bin."People who are irrelevant don't need to be mentioned.""I want to build a

    "No, no, that's impossible!"Cameron looked at the photo and let out a shrill, broken scream, as if his spine had been ripped out and he collapsed completely.He was dragged away, his screams echoing down the corridor.In the end, only I remained in the conference room, along with a pile of signed transfer agreements.The first thing I did after taking over the Lister Group was to conduct a thorough investigation into Wendy.She had taken the 1 million meant for the art exhibition and was preparing to flee abroad.But I had already had James apply for an exit ban.The police put handcuffs on her.Good and evil were always repaid in the end; the wheel of fate turned without fail.After dealing with Wendy, I went to the hospital.My father had already been transferred out of the ICU. Although he was still very weak, he was conscious.When he saw me come in, he struggled to raise his hand. "Nina, Cameron... he didn't bully you, did he?"I held his hand, and tears finally spill

    I led James and several bodyguards as I pushed open the doors to the Lister Group conference room.Cameron was in a frenzy, snapping at a group of shareholders. "What are you panicking about? As long as Mr. Fisher hasn't released a conclusion, this is just a rumor! I've already arranged for the PR department to suppress the trending topics!""You can't suppress it anymore, Mr. Lister."I walked in and tossed a folder onto the center of the long table."Mr. Fisher has already reported this to the police. The economic crimes unit is downstairs. They'll be up in about three minutes."The conference room fell into dead silence.All the shareholders stared at me in terror.Cameron's eyes were bloodshot, his hair disheveled, like a wild beast driven into a corner. "Nina! Do you really have to wipe me out completely? I'm your husband! What good does it do you if I go to prison?""What good does it do me?" I asked.I pulled out Cameron's exclusive seat and sat down without the slighte

    Mr. Fisher had been frowning as he watched the entire farce unfold.I stepped down from the stage and walked straight up to Mr. Fisher, pulling a USB drive out of my clutch."Mr. Fisher, this contains the original data for the Summit Project, and..." I paused, then raised my voice slightly. "And evidence that the Lister Group secretly altered the building materials list, replacing the originally specified high-strength steel with cheap, substandard steel in their cost quotation."Boom!That statement was even more explosive than the earlier dispute over authorship.In the construction world, nothing was more taboo than cutting corners—this was a matter of human lives.The color drained instantly from Cameron's face as he charged down like a madman. "Nina! You're slandering me!"He tried to snatch the USB drive.But James appeared out of nowhere. Tall and imposing, he stepped in front of me and grabbed Cameron's wrist."Mr. Lister, please conduct yourself in public," James said

    On the giant screen, the design drawings of the Summit were displayed.They were the drawings I had spent three grueling months on, losing countless strands of hair to complete.Every single line and every structural detail had been etched into my memory.Wendy stood at the microphone with tears in her eyes. "Thank you, everyone. Thank you, Cameron, for giving me inspiration. This design concept came from my yearning for the sky..."Below the stage, Cameron led the applause, his face full of satisfaction.I stood in the shadows and took out my phone, connecting it to the venue's Bluetooth projection system."Actually, this design has a hidden signature," I said suddenly, my voice not loud, but exceptionally clear in the brief silence.Everyone turned to look at me.Wendy's expression changed drastically. "Security! Get this crazy woman out of here, now!"Cameron also rushed over, trying to stop me.But I had already pressed the send button.The big screen flickered.The onc

    That single sentence was the real killing blow.Cameron's eyes widened in shock. "What did you say?""I said the Summit Project is finished.""Impossible! The contract was already signed!""There was a 'no intellectual property dispute' clause in the contract." I stood up and straightened my collar. "Cameron, did you really think that by signing my name in the legal representative column, I'd be left with no way out? That was the fruit of my own labor."Cameron's body swayed, his face turning deathly pale.The Summit Project had tied up all of his liquid capital, and once it stalled, the Lister Group's cash flow would be in immediate crisis.Wendy supported him and shrieked, "You bitch! Are you trying to kill Cameron?""Kill him?" I stepped closer to Wendy and whispered by their ears. "Compared to you trying to send me to prison, this only counted as self-defense."With that, I picked up my bag and strode away under everyone's shocked gazes.When I stepped out of the cafe, th
