You Said Until Death Chapter 12 A New Battlefield
"Your reckoning has only just begun," I stated with cold finality.Then, I picked up my bag and walked out of the hearing room alongside Tessa.Soon, Gavin's anguished cries of utter despair echoed behind us.…The Labor Arbitration Board issued its final ruling about two weeks later.Due to the overwhelming evidence and the severity of the misconduct, the Labor Arbitration Board ruled the case entirely in my favor.My former employer was ordered to pay me double damages for unlawfully terminating my employment, as well as all the overtime pay I had been owed over the past three years.On top of that, the company was ordered to publish a public apology on its official website and on the front pages of the three leading industry publications for seven consecutive days.Once the apology was published, the entire industry was thrown into an uproar.The accusations of leaking confidential information that had once been hurled at me died right after that.As for Gavin, he became a

Phoebe pointed at her phone, her voice so shrill it nearly cracked the windows. "It has the complete chat history between him and me, from him ordering me to use Seraphina's computer to teaching me how to avoid the security cameras at her desk."I backed up everything—the screenshots, the voice messages, even the surveillance footage of him standing behind me and watching me do it."Gavin lost it right then and there. He shot to his feet and lunged across the table, trying to snatch the phone."Give it to me! You bitch, give me the phone!"The bailiff reacted instantly, pinning Gavin face-down onto the table. "Settle down! This is the Labor Arbitration Board!"Gavin was held firmly in place, his cheek pressed against the cold tabletop. He could only watch with desperate eyes as the arbitrator opened the evidence on the backup phone.Every screenshot, every voice message was like a sharp blade, stripping away his carefully crafted facade until nothing remained.Just then, the doo
You Said Until Death Chapter 10 The Final Blow
Tessa pressed the play button.Gavin's voice, dripping with condescension and calculation, echoed clearly through the silent hearing room the very next second."Alright. What's done is done. The company isn't completely heartless. Here's what I'll do. I'll give you your full performance bonus for this month, and I'll increase your base salary by 20 percent. Right now, you're going to use your work email to send Ms. Wayman an apology."Just say that you passed out because you deliberately hid the severity of your condition and insisted on coming to work when you shouldn't have. Make it clear that your condition had absolutely nothing to do with the company's management."Gavin's smug expression froze as soon as the recording started playing.He jerked his head up and stared at the waveform moving across the projector screen. A thin sheen of cold sweat instantly covered his forehead."Mr. Bright, according to this recording, not only was my client fully capable of doing her job, bu

"Sir, this has nothing to do with me!" Gavin cried.Then, he pointed at Phoebe and threw her under the bus, exclaiming loudly, "Phoebe was the one in charge of Seraphina's attendance and day-to-day management. I'm the general manager of the company. I'm busy running the entire operation. "How could I possibly know whether some entry-level employee was working overtime?"Phoebe froze, staring at him in disbelief. "Mr. Bright, you—"Gavin didn't give her a chance to speak. Instead, he raised his voice further and continued, "As for the data leak… Phoebe made a mistake. Or maybe she did it because she had a personal grudge against Seraphina and framed her. Yes, she was the one behind it all! "The company's senior management had absolutely no knowledge of it."The employees, who had been hiding outside the door and listening in, erupted into an uproar.Phoebe lost it.She had thought that clinging to Gavin would guarantee her a smooth rise through the ranks. She never expected t
You Said Until Death Chapter 8 The Hunt Begins
I slammed a thick file folder onto the marble counter. Considering how there was a 200-page index of evidence, the sound it made against the counter was quite the satisfying thud.It included three years of actual attendance records, a recording of Gavin refusing to approve my medical leave, and screenshots showing I had been forced to work overtime in the early hours of the morning.Most importantly, there was a USB drive containing a recording of Phoebe herself admitting that she had fabricated the whole data-leak incident.The clerk at the window had initially seemed somewhat indifferent.However, the apathy on his face vanished the moment Tessa identified herself as a senior partner of a law firm and laid out the facts."Wrongful termination, forcing an employee to work while sick and causing her to suffer heart failure, and even fabricating evidence to extort money and defame her."Tessa planted both hands on the counter, commanding the room with her presence."We're demand

"Is that so? Then, I'll be waiting."I hung up right after that.Tessa immediately uploaded the audio file to the law firm's encrypted cloud storage for backup."God, she's almost too stupid to hate. This recording alone is enough to put Gavin and her in serious trouble.""It's not enough." I pulled out my tablet and logged into a private cloud drive no one knew about.Gavin had mistakenly assumed that locking me out of the company network would leave me without a shred of evidence.He had clearly vastly underestimated what happened when an overworked employee finally learned to protect herself.I opened the drive. Soon, three years' worth of encrypted backups stared back at me."These are screenshots of my clock-out records that I took every day, along with time-stamped logs of every update I made to the project source code. And these are all the messages from Gavin forcing me to revise proposals at 2 or 3 a.m."I turned the screen toward Tessa."He claimed that I never work
