That dress was the reason I became so suddenly popular when I reappeared in the hall that night.Soren nodded. "Right. The two of you can discuss it and see what she likes.""Okay!"Soren insisted on sending me back to the company—and that was how I found myself on the road again.Throughout the journey, he talked on the phone nonstop. Even after the calls ended, he pulled out his laptop."I'm really sorry to be working right now," he said."No, it's not a problem at all," I replied quickly, smiling.I should be the one apologizing. He had such a hectic day, yet he left work because of my issue. I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.He could have just called the IRS and asked them to release me, and the head would have complied easily.Yet, he went above and beyond, showing up in person despite his busy schedule just for me.My heart was racing again, damn it!Could this be a blatant display of favoritism? Care? It was already beyond friendship, wasn't it?He finally closed

I called Harry as soon as I got into the car. He ignored me once or twice, but by the third attempt, he finally answered."What the hell?! I'm busy!" he snapped."I pray to God you're busy being interrogated by the IRS," I shot back sharply.He feigned shock. "What are you talking about?"I snickered, my doubt clear. "You set me up, Harry fucking Jones. Time for your comeuppance.""How dare you swear at your own father's name like that, you bitch?!" he raged, grasping at straws."Fuck you! You've never treated me like a daughter, and you've never hesitated to hurl abuse at me! Calling you an asshole is an insult to anuses worldwide!""Can it, bitch! I raised you!""Well, as thanks for raising me, I've prepared a gift you've been dying for. Where are you?"Harry was quiet for a moment. He was likely cautious, but in the end, his desire to see me at my most pathetic probably won out. Or maybe he was thirsty for more chances to insult me.Either way, he relented. "Nation Trade C

I nodded and took the documents, then addressed the rest of the room, "Okay, enough already. Settle down!"I raised the document in the air. "You wanted proof, right? Here's—"Before I could finish, Harry snatched the papers, barely glancing at them, still fueled by the anger he'd stirred up while shouting at his old partners.Without hesitation, he tore the papers into pieces, shouting, "I don't know what the fuck these are supposed to be, but I know I ain't done nothing wrong, and none of you can slander me!"I shrugged, took another copy from Megyn, and handed it to him. "Here. There's more where that came from. Go ahead and tear this one to pieces again. When you're finally tired and satisfied, we'll talk about the details."Harry glared at me, his cheeks quivering. "How dare you do this to your own father, you ungrateful bitch?!"I raised an eyebrow. "You make me sound so heartless, Harry. But am I? I'm not the one discussing how to kill their daughter to make her company th

The officers wisely chose to ignore him and turned to me instead. "Miss Jones, please follow us back to the station to record a statement.""Of course," I replied.After all, I was the one who had reported them!As Harry was led away in handcuffs, the workers at his new company watched in stunned silence. These poor folks would now have to find new jobs, with the company on the brink of collapse.-By the time I left the station, it was already late evening.Watching the dazzling lights from a distance, I suddenly realized how much I missed my grandmother.I drove to her house for dinner, eager to share everything.I told my grandmother and aunt all about my revenge, much to their delight.My grandmother even helped herself to a second helping of dinner!"They've finally been punished for their crimes after evading justice for years! They didn't deserve that time at all," my grandmother remarked. "I feel sad, though, remembering that your mom never got to see this day.""Oh!

"In fact, bust out the self-hypnosis! Taylor, you and Soren are just friends going out for a meal together! This is all very normal!" I muttered.-Half an hour later, I arrived at the Oriole.The manager recognized me and greeted me with a polite nod. "Miss Jones, your guests have already arrived. They're waiting in the Pride Room.""Thank you."My heart thumped with excitement. I even paced a little as I made my way to the Pride Room. As the waiter opened the door for me, I called out, "So—"Then I saw her. A young woman sat beside him."—leil?! You're here too?" I exclaimed in pleasant surprise.Soleil smiled sweetly. "Is that supposed to be a rebuke, Tay-Tay? Am I interrupting your moment?"Heat rushed to my cheeks as I shot a quick look at Soren's expression."No! Of course not! I'd love to have you here!"Ignore the "your moment" implication, Taylor! You did not hear that!Soren poured me a cup of black tea.I smiled. "Thanks.""She was at my office when I was about
