When the Blood Runs Cold Chapter 9
Everyone left the Stewart Group.Sienna gave my old team a raise and better benefits, and they were all thrilled.Jessica, on the other hand, lost significant industry trust because of what happened at the press conference.She tried to fix things with a few PR moves, but it did not work. People no longer trusted her.Wayne had been honest with the reporters about threatening me, and when the internet found out, they were all over him, day and night.The online attacks were too much for Wayne, and he ended up jumping off a building.With me taking the key people away, the Stewart Group just could not keep going.Soon after the incident, the investors pulled out, and the gaming company was on the brink of shutting down for good.After everyone had settled into their new jobs, Sienna called me into her office."Here's how much Genyxis made last month. I want to split the profits with you on a 30-70 basis."You know, I didn't go after this game because of the game itself. It was

"You snake! How dare you come to my event! Sienna, you ruined everything for me!"I moved fast, stepping in front of Sienna, and gave Jessica a slap before her hand could land on Sienna."Stop it! Wake up, Jessica!"You're the one who ended Frank's life, and you pushed me so far that I had no choice but to sell the key to Sienna!"Jessica just stood there, dazed by the slap, as tears kept rolling down her cheeks.Wayne was still convinced that I was just making up excuses about not signing the contract, and he stubbornly called the cops.The police checked and confirmed that I had never signed any contract with the Stewart Group.The game Genyxis, which I created all by myself, could be sold to anyone.Jessica even admitted to skimping on my pay for years by claiming I was her husband.It was time for this whole silly drama to end.Sienna gave me a nod and invited me, "The press conference here is done. Are you ready to head to ours? A whole bunch of fans online are waiting f

Sienna blocked me from the crowd and whispered, "Don't worry. If he sues, I'll get you the best lawyer."The game is yours, and you can sell it to anyone you choose."Sienna was really saying that Wayne was too unimportant to be speaking so decisively.At Stewart Group, Wayne was treated like the vice president. He was not used to being embarrassed in front of everyone. He got so mad that his face turned beet red and he shouted, "You're Ms. Roberts, the one who teamed up with Josh to steal our company secrets, aren't you?!"A big company like yours stooping to dirty tricks… Even if you took Genyxis, do you honestly think anyone would side with you?!"Sienna just laughed. She did not care about his mean words. "Me, dirty? That's nothing compared to threatening someone with their child's life!"Wayne was so furious that he could barely talk. He whipped out his phone to call the cops.That was when I finally said, with a cool voice, "Don't bother calling the cops. It won't change a
When the Blood Runs Cold Chapter 6
The doctors had warned that Frank's life would be in danger without surgery.Seeing Josh so calm and detached, Jessica’s anger started to melt away.She had to admit that her feelings for Josh had softened after the realization. "Why didn't you ask me for the money? Tell Sienna I'll pay $300,000 right now to get the key back!"After the press conference, I'll go straight to the hospital to book Frank's surgery."She expected me to give her the answer she wanted to hear.However, all I did was pull at my lip, my voice sounding worn. "That’s not necessary. Frank..."Frank is already dead."The shocking truth hit Jessica so hard that she could not accept it. She stumbled back, her voice shaking. "What are you saying?! Frank is dead?! That can't be!"Just yesterday, the doctor said he was doing well. He said Frank would be healthy again after the surgery. He would be just like any other kid again."How could he just die like that? You're lying to me! You just didn't want me to fin

In Jessica’s eyes, Frank's life was not worth the trouble.I pointed at Wayne, standing my ground. "Tell them the truth. That video from yesterday was a fake."He made me do it by threatening my son's life."Wayne shuddered, sweat beading on his forehead.Of course, he was scared after doing something so cruel.If people found out, he would be swamped with online hate."Ms. Stewart! That video from yesterday was just a test for Josh, just a little prank!"Isn't it a bit too much to confess in front of all of these reporters?"He tried to sidestep the real issue with a sneaky excuse, hoping to get away with it.However, that was not going to work.I kept my face cold and did not back down an inch.Jessica gently pulled on Wayne's hand and said in a soothing voice, "Wayne, just this once, can you take one for the team? Let's just get through this tough spot."We've already hyped up the game online, and over ten million people have signed up. Once it's a hit, I promise I'll ma

"The Roberts Group beat you to launching Genyxis, and they're saying you don't own the original core tech—you copied their game!" "Ms. Stewart, this scandal is blowing up online. What's your response?" "How come there are two games that are exactly the same, and theirs came out first? Who's the real copycat here?"Jessica, who was usually cool under pressure, was thrown into a frenzy when she saw that Sienna Roberts' company had released the same game. "How can their game be identical to ours?!" she exclaimed."Ladies and gentlemen of the press, please, let's stay calm! I assure you, our company is the true creator of Genyxis. We even have the encryption key to prove it!" she insisted."Josh! What are you waiting for? Explain to the reporters! You don't want us to get accused of being copycats, do you?"All the reporters' cameras were aimed at Wayne, thinking he was the vice president, before they finally turned to find me tucked away in the corner.I faced the camera with a s
