The moment the words left my mouth, Norman's face flushed an ugly red. "What nonsense are you talking about?"For a second, he looked embarrassed before quickly slipping into his usual superior tone. "Heather, I recall you have the next quarter's partnership negotiation with Vantage Corporation coming up. And it's supposed to be discussed over dinner."You should give rookies like Andrea more chances to learn. That's how you can train them to avoid mistakes."I raised an eyebrow and replied, "Sure, but let me make this clear—you're responsible for whatever happens."He seemed delighted to see me agree so readily, while Andrea practically bounced into his arms in excitement."Thank you for trusting me, Mr. Halt. Good thing I don't work under Ms. Walton, or I'd never get a chance to grow.""Don't mind her," he said. "I see real potential in you, Andrea, so go ahead and handle it as you see fit."Andrea's snide comments could barely affect me. I gave a cold laugh and shut the door

The conference room went silent. Everyone was stunned. The police officers paused and glanced at their captain in confusion. Finally processing my words, the wide-eyed Robin turned sharply toward Norman.Norman's face was drained of color. His lips trembled and he shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting, Heather?"I turned to look at Robin and said in a cold, hard voice, "Whether it's nonsense or not, check the backend permission logs. It'll show who accessed my account at that time."He immediately bellowed, "Check it now, Jonah!"Jonah Hoover, the IT manager, immediately scrambled out of the room.Andrea panicked. Her eyes darted around, avoiding everyone's gaze, as she grabbed Norman's arm, gripping hard enough to leave marks."Mr. Halt… I-I don't know anything…"Norman shook his head. Sweat collected at his temples as he tried to steady his voice and said, "Just check. She must've set up a scheduled message just to frame me."I scoffed. "Feeling guilty, Mr. Halt? I never

Norman was officially placed under criminal detention, while the pregnant Andrea was released on bail pending further investigation.For now, both of them were too preoccupied with their troubles to bother me. I focused entirely on Mom and spent my days by her side, taking her to her check-ups and cooking for her.In this second chance at life, keeping her safe was my greatest solace.I soon got a new job at Vantage Corporation, where the CEO interviewed me himself. "Headhunters have been after you for ages. What finally made you decide to leave?"I couldn't help but laugh. "You must've heard about what happened at my previous company."I accepted the offer and was scheduled to start next month.During the transition, Robin tried everything to persuade me to return. He even offered shares in the company. I declined because that place was filled with too many painful memories.Life seemed to settle into calm, but I knew that Norman and Andrea wouldn't just accept their fate quiet

Just as I stepped out of the office, someone rushed toward me and blocked my path.Dorothy stood there with white, messy hair and disheveled clothes. She looked like a beggar. She lunged forward as if to grab me and rasped, "Heather!"I stepped back, and the security guards immediately moved to restrain her."Please save Norman! I'm begging you!" she wailed, dropping to her knees. "He knows that he's made a mistake. You can't just do nothing and watch him suffer in there!"People nearby turned to look.I frowned. "How he's sentenced is up to the law. There's nothing I can do.""You can!" she cried and began banging her head against the floor. "Just tell them you forgive him! I'm begging you! He's losing his mind in there, and it's all that bitch Andrea's fault! He's only ever loved you!"Dorothy's words made my stomach turn.Before we got married, Norman had acted like the perfect gentleman. We'd agreed not to have kids, so when he suggested splitting expenses equally, I agreed
