Chapter 1

"Remember to come and report for work on the first of the month, Mr. Gavin Carter. And don't be late."After listening to the other person on the line, I responded politely and said, "I understand, and I will be there on time. Thank you."I recalled Jett Leroy's arrogant face this morning as I hung up, and I couldn't stop myself from wanting to laugh out loud.He still didn't know that I'd already found myself a new job at the Audit Commission, and I had already been planning to resign over the next two days anyway. Still, he chose this exact timing to blame me for the company's bad performance because my horoscope clashed with his, which I thought was completely absurd. It seemed as though I wouldn't be leaving this company on a good note anymore.I got up and prepared to return to my desk and tidy up. Just as I opened the bathroom door, I bumped into Cade Jefferson and his "followers". They were smoking outside the door and joking with each other.Cade cast me a side glance

Chapter 2

I was the one who had to teach Cade everything he knew. I was his mentor, and I brought him along to client meetings, taught him how to negotiate contract terms, and basically helped him grow from a nobody to his current position of project head.And now, he was already dismissing me entirely while I was still here at the company. He was showing me his true colors and how much of an ingrate he actually was.Rafael and the other colleagues were mostly fence-sitters, and of course, they were now expressing their loyalty to their new head of department instead.Still, I couldn't be bothered to get back at them anymore."That's great. Congrats on the promotion, Mr. Jefferson," I said calmly and emotionlessly. "Jett Leroy is someone who happily discards people once they're no longer of any use to him. I may be the victim today, but who's to say that you wouldn't be the next one, hmm?"Cade's face turned red at once when he heard me."Don't you dare try to ruin my relationship with the

Chapter 3

Jett lowered his voice in anger and threatened me, "You'd better grab your stuff and leave now if you know what's best for you! And stop causing trouble for yourself. Otherwise, I'm going to blacklist you, and no other company will ever dare to take you in anymore!"When Cade heard that, he quickly faked a concerned expression and said, "Don't get too angry, Mr. Leroy. Gavin's just mad that he got kicked out of the company. He's only doing this out of jealousy."He then turned to look at me and gave me a fake smile. "Gavin, since you've had your contributions to the company in the past, let me help you out."You probably won't be able to find a job anymore, given your age, so it would be impossible for you to find any company willing to take you in after getting fired."But hey, if you're willing to get down on your knees and beg us for forgiveness, perhaps I could put in a good word for you with Mr. Leroy so that he'd still consider employing you as the company's security guard."

Chapter 4

Jett's company was very lavishly decorated on the day of the launch event. Jett, Cade, and the rest wore suits and ties and looked confident as the spotlights shone on them.I entered the venue as discreetly as I could, just as Cade was confidently explaining the "groundbreaking innovation" strategy that they were planning to implement.At once, I could tell that the core of their strategy was lifted straight from the work I'd put my heart and soul into before I left the company.No wonder Cade had dug through all the files on my laptop the other day. It was because he wanted to steal my work and claim it as his own.The only thing he changed was the superficial details that didn't mean much. And then, he'd confidently called it his own design.During the break in the middle of the event, Cade suddenly caught sight of me sitting in the last row of seats while he was still onstage.He was first stunned to see me. However, a mocking grin soon replaced his shocked face. He hurried d

"What did you just say? The company's shady accounts have been exposed? How's that even possible?" Jett yelled into his phone in shock.Cade also panicked as soon as he heard the news. He hurried over to Jett and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Leroy! Haven't the company accounts always been dealt with appropriately? How could something suddenly happen to it?"However, Jett wasn't in the mood for explaining things anymore. Cold sweat began dropping from his forehead as he left the event hall and hurried back to his office.I stood in place, watching as Jett and Cade ran off in a panic. My lips curled up into a smirk.By the time they reached the office, there were already many people gathered around at the entrance. A handful of stern-looking policemen were holding files and folders in their hands as though they had been waiting for a long time.When they saw Jett, the head of the police flashed his police badge at him and said, "Jett Leroy, your company is under suspicion of committin

Chapter 6

Jett wouldn't stop struggling and begging for mercy, but it was too late. He had committed too many crimes. And what was the point of the law if he thought that everything could be forgiven with just a mere apology anyway?…I was tidying up the documents on my desk at my office when my phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Officer Ivan Ducant, from the Special Investigations Team. "Jett's verdict is about to be finalized. According to the nature of this case, I think that he'll be getting a ten-year prison sentence at least."Also, we have recovered the two-million-dollar bonus commission that Jett Leroy withheld from you. When do you have the time to come to the station to sort it out? We'll transfer the amount into your bank account afterward."When I saw that, I immediately replied without hesitation, "Officer Ducant, I don't want the money anymore. Please donate it to a hope foundation on my behalf."There was a short silence on the phone. "Are you sure about that, Gavi

Chapter 7

"First of all, I am addressing my income amount," I said, clicking into a folder that I'd prepared beforehand containing my bank statements, tax records, and employment contract."These are all the pay stubs that I've received each month since joining the aforementioned company, and as you can see, the bank's official stamp is clearly visible on the screen."These are my personal income tax payment records, which all correspond perfectly with the pay stubs and transactions."And lastly, this is my employment contract, which clearly states my salary and all other benefits."I went through each page of the documents slowly but surely, making sure to highlight the key information in red on the screen as well."You can all calculate for yourselves if my monthly income is really as astronomical as what Cade made it out to be."Secondly, I am addressing the issue about how I managed to get hold of the company's financial records."I switched the screen on my computer and showed a few

Chapter 8

"Admit all of your wrongdoings to the hundreds of thousands of people online and take responsibility for your actions," I told Cade. "That way, the public might give you a second chance when they see that you're brave enough to admit your mistakes."Cade stopped crying immediately once I was done talking.He released my leg and suddenly glanced up at me with a look of deep hatred on his face."What kind of an idea is that? You just want to humiliate me and watch me embarrass myself in front of everyone else! You're trying to crush me for the rest of my life!"Here I am, begging you to help me like a dog on my knees, and you're still not happy with it? Do you still want more revenge on me? Until when?"You're a bastard, Gavin! You're so much worse than Jett!"He refused to see the error of his ways and kept blaming everything on me. I felt the last bit of patience dry up as I watched him shout at me in return."I'm not humiliating you, Cade. I'm simply informing you of a way for
