All Chapters of The Snitch Who Regretted Crossing Me: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

It was the first day back at work. I stood at the warehouse entrance with my fists clenched.Our auto parts warehouse was five stories tall. Three whole floors had been swallowed by floodwater, and nearly all our finished goods were ruined.The losses were pushing close to ten million dollars. But if we could repair the equipment in time, we could still salvage the situation.I checked my watch. It was half an hour past start time, but not a single employee had shown up.Just then, my assistant, Rachel Colson, rushed over with a tablet in hand. Her forehead was covered in sweat. "Ms. Sadler, you need to see this!"I took the tablet and realized I'd been reported.In the video, a young woman held up her phone and raged at the camera. "Look at this notice! My company is making us come back on the last day of the holiday! The boss might as well write her own labor laws!"She shoved the notice into the lens. "Who even does this anymore? I'm honestly stunned! Anyway, I'm not going

I picked up Rachel's phone and glanced at it.Almost everyone was tagging Savannah."Ms. Sadler canceled our month-long paid Christmas and New Year holiday! What's going on?""End the livestream! Stop running your mouth!""Oh, my God. Is it too late for me to rush back to the office now? I don't want to lose a whole month of paid leave!""Get back there and apologize to Ms. Sadler! Make her retract the notice!""Ms. Sadler would've compensated us if we'd gone to work today, anyway. Now, we've lost all our perks!"I stared at the messages with a poker face.The labor inspectors finished taking notes. As they were leaving, one of them reminded me. "We hope your company strictly follows the labor laws going forward.""We will," I agreed. "We'll follow them to a T."…Almost as soon as they were gone, Jeremy showed up with a dark look. He immediately started reprimanding me loudly. "Vi, what you did was way over the line! Sav was just trying to defend her legal rights."How cou

Jeremy and Savannah flew off the handle the moment they heard that."How can you fire us?" He lunged forward, jabbing a finger at my nose. "I've worked here for five years! You think you can just say that and make me vanish?"Savannah shrieked, "Exactly! I'm just defending my rights under the law! You're the one who violated labor laws first! Now, you're humiliated and out for revenge. I'm recording all of this. I'll show everyone online what you're really like!"I let out a cold laugh. Then, I took two documents from Rachel and held them up to the camera."This is the overtime notice, and this is the compensation notice. Triple pay, plus an extra day off—it's all spelled out in black and white."You claim I forced you to work overtime, right? Did I state anywhere in this notice that you'll be fired if you don't come back? I didn't, which means this isn't forced."I looked Savannah in the eye. "Here's my question for you. You accused me of illegally forcing overtime, of making em

I just found Jeremy laughable. Everything he said right now only made me think he was stalling me from salvaging the equipment.When I saw that he was about to speak again, I didn't give him the chance. "Look, just get lost. Stay away from me. From the first time you helped her, I'd already given up on you."His eyes widened, and his lips trembled like he wanted to say something.I didn't want to hear another word, though. "Scram. Leave me alone!"With that, I turned to leave.However, Jeremy clamped down on my wrist, his voice almost pleading as he cried, "Vi, you can't do this to me! We've been together for five years! Five years!"When your father died, I was right there with you! I helped you hold up Sadler Group! And now, you want to break up with me? Doesn't that weigh down on your conscience?"I turned back to look at him, finding him ridiculous. The person who held up Sadler Group was me, not him. All these years, he'd taken a fat paycheck without making any real contrib

I looked at Jeremy without saying a thing, my face devoid of emotion.Savannah, on the other hand, was calm. She even looked smug. "I did nothing wrong! All that money was voluntarily gifted to me by Jeremy. Look, every transfer note literally says 'voluntary gift.' Why should I have to pay anything back?"My attorney let out a snort. "Here's the catch—every cent he spent on you was taken from my client. As a manager at Sadler Group, Mr. Jeremy Saxton diverted company funds to purchase assets for a third party—that's corporate embezzlement."And you, Ms. Tate, still accepted it despite knowing full well the money was ill-gotten. That makes you an accomplice."Savannah instantly paled. She whipped her head toward Jeremy and screamed, "You said the money was a voluntary gift! You lied to me!"Jeremy panicked, too. He suddenly dropped to his knees and prostrated himself before me. "Vi, I was wrong! I know I messed up! I met Savannah a year ago—it was a drunken mistake that happen
