Year-End Bonus: Three Zoo Passes, One Phone Call, Zero Mercy Chapter 10
I heard William was arrested while trying to flee the city. He ended up getting caught at the train station.Mandy cooperated with the investigation, confessing and turning in the others. She managed to get off lightly with just a warning.But her reputation in the industry was completely destroyed. A decent job would be hard to come by from now on.Jack had it the worst. Due to his involvement in moving illegal assets, my lawyer told me he was looking at a minimum of three years.I was waiting for Daniel outside his piano classroom when I heard about all this. The afternoon sun was warm on my skin."Mommy!" Daniel ran out with his backpack and threw himself into my arms. "Why hasn't Daddy come to pick me up in so long?"I crouched down, smoothed his clothes, and answered gently, "Daddy went somewhere far away to learn how to be an honest person."Daniel asked, "When will he come back then?""When he's learned," I replied.Although it might take a long time, and he might miss

Even though William was under investigation, he still had connections from his years of being in the industry.While out on bail, he managed to get several companies to blacklist me. He claimed that I was unethical and leaked confidential information, and anyone who hired me would regret it.Suddenly, rumors were everywhere.Some anonymous accounts were even spreading rumors that I slept with clients to climb the ladder. They even posted a photo of me meeting Mr. Skylar at the cafe, cropped in a way that made it look suggestive.The caption read, "Shocking! Female sales executive sleeps her way to the top, cheats on husband with wealthy businessman!"I didn't need confirmation to know Mandy was behind it.I sat in my office, calmly taking in the online hate comments.Mr. Skylar walked in, looking slightly annoyed. "Do you want the PR department to handle the online situation, Ms. Johnson?"I waved him off with a laugh. "No need. Let's keep them spinning for a while more. Bad pr

The next morning, Mr. Skylar asked to meet me in person.The moment I arrived, I apologized sincerely. "I'm so sorry you had to be there for the scene yesterday, Mr. Skylar."Mr. Skylar waved it off with a look of admiration on his face. "That swamp of a company was never worthy of you, Suzanna. I only trust you with my 50-million deal. Wherever you go, the contract goes with you.Then he added, "By the way, I happen to be looking for a vice president. Are you interested?"I froze, then let out a relaxed smile. "It would be an honor."Just then, Alice Sorentia, my colleague from the marketing department, called me. "Something happened, Ms. Johnson! The company accounts have been frozen. They won't be able to process next month's payroll!"Several colleagues crowded onto the line, panicking."You can't leave, Suzie! You're the backbone of this team, we'd be lost without you!""We were foolish enough to be deceived by that bastard William, Suzie. Please don't take it personally."

I headed straight to the hospital after finishing my statement at the police station.Mom's surgery had gone well. The anesthesia had just worn off, and she was lying weakly in the hospital bed.As soon as she saw me, tears welled up in her eyes. "Suzie, that Jack—""It's okay, Mom," I said softly as I took her hand. "Jack has been arrested. I've already contacted a divorce lawyer. Since he chose to betray me instead of living peacefully, I won't let him get away with it."…After settling Mom in, I drove home. When I got back, I saw my in-laws sitting on the couch watching TV.My mother-in-law, Lydia Hearth, rolled her eyes when she saw me. She spoke in a sarcastic tone. "Well, look who finally decided to come home. Why can't we get through to Jack? Did you upset him again?"Don't think you're all that great just because you earn money for the family, Suzanna. A woman should still put her husband first."My father-in-law, Shawn Hudson, chimed in, "That's right. Hurry up and ge

Seeing Mandy speak up, Jack quickly followed suit. "That card with the 300 thousand dollars is still in my pocket, Mr. Lewis.""Shut up!" William roared, pointing at them. "You idiots! Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"I crossed my arms, enjoying the spectacle as the three of them tore into each other.I said, "I gave you a chance, William, but you just couldn't make it work."I stepped closer, my tone suddenly serious. "Do you know why I was determined to mess this deal up? That's because last night I found out the subcontractor you recommended to Mr. Skylar is a shell company owned by your brother-in-law. That company doesn't even have proper licenses!"Mr. Skylar's face darkened instantly. "You've got some nerve, William."Just then, the door to the conference room opened once again. Several police officers walked in and flashed their badges. "Which one of you is William Lewis? We've received a report of large-scale tax evasion by your company. You'll need to come wi

Mr. Skylar arrived just in time with his legal team. Terrified, the security guards immediately released me.William rushed over, eager to please. "You didn't need to come in person, Mr. Skylar. This is just an internal matter. We can handle it ourselves."Mr. Skylar ignored him and walked straight to my side. "Who was the one who said Ms. Johnson tried to extort me for extra fees?"Mandy turned pale as she shrank back without a word.Mr. Skylar let out a cold laugh and slammed his phone onto the conference table. "Last night, Ms. Johnson sent me a text telling me your internal management was a mess, and that I should reassess the risks of working with your company for the sake of project quality."Not only did she not ask for any extra fees, but she also sent me an email listing every potential issue in the project. Is this what you meant by taking kickbacks and extorting clients?"The room went dead silent. The same colleagues who had been judging me earlier couldn't even bring
