Lahat ng Kabanata ng Bring Your Own A4? I Brought the Company Bankruptcy Instead: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

I gripped the USB drive so tightly that the metal casing bit into my palm.Memories from three months of sleepless nights and hard work flashed before my eyes—Walter Brooks revising plans on his laptop while sitting in a hospital waiting room, Claire Bennett's eyes red from crying over a single data error, and the pile of stomach medicine on Jason's desk…I stormed out of the administrative office and headed straight for the CEO's office. With a kick, the heavy door slammed into the wall with a deafening crash.The CEO, Dominic Thorne, jerked from fright and spilled coffee all over himself.As I forced my anger down, I said, "Mr. Thorne, the admin says we have to bring our papers for printing. The Gyrfalcon Project's bidding deadline is tonight, and the proposal urgently needs printing… Are you going to do something about this or not?"He was still rattled, but his expression darkened immediately. "Elliot, have you lost your mind? Rules are rules! I don't care if it's a 200-millio

Walter was right. In the eyes of the team, I was just a hothead who trashed everyone's livelihood out of spite.The thought sent a fresh wave of rage crashing through me. I swept the file rack off the desk, sending papers flying everywhere like confetti."Responsible?" I pointed toward the administrative office, and my voice rose sharply as I roared, "How the hell am I supposed to be responsible? "They pointed in our faces, called us low-level trash, and said we weren't even worthy of using the company's paper! Was I supposed to get on my knees and beg for her charity?"The office went dead silent. Everyone looked at me in shock, paralyzed by my outburst.I stood there, chest heaving. I scanned their pale faces as I spat the words through gritted teeth, "We're not submitting the bid! If you still want to work with me, stay. If you think I'm reckless and screwed this up, you can walk out right now. No hard feelings!"With that, I kicked a chair out of my way and stormed to my des

Glasses clinked with a sharp, crisp sound, as if shattering every ounce of humiliation we'd suffered."Cheers! We won!"Jason's face was flushed red from excitement. Even Walter, who always wore a poker face, finally had a grin, and I secretly caught Claire wiping her eyes. The meal wasn't fancy, but it felt earned. Every bite hit the spot."Elliot, this one's for you!"Jason stumbled over with a wine glass, and his words slurred slightly. "Elliot, if it wasn't for you back then—""Save it," I cut him off and topped his drink. "We earned this ourselves!"The private room door swung open, and Harvey walked in, laughing. "Celebrating? Let's add another dish!"He signed the waiter to serve a lobster and clapped me on the shoulder. "Impressive work, Mr. Ward. Our company has another project coming up that's no smaller than the Gyrfalcon Project. Are you up for it?"I could feel my team behind me holding their breath. This wasn't just about money; it was a stamp of approval and a

"A company that treats its employees like thieves and won't even provide basic tools for work, now has the audacity to claim ownership of the intellectual fruits of our labor, which we created under disrespect and constant belittlement. Does that make any sense? Is that fair?"I looked straight at Dominic, speaking slowly and clearly, "They're not questioning the technology, but our integrity. And today, all I'm doing is picking up the dignity they trampled on."Dominic avoided my gaze.…The recess didn't last long.When the judge returned, his voice was steady and cold as he delivered the verdict."…After review, the court finds that the plaintiff has provided a complete and valid chain of evidence, sufficiently proving that they independently developed the technical proposal for the Gyrfalcon Project. All intellectual property rights fully belong to the plaintiff."The defendant's claims are unfounded. The defendant shall bear all legal costs and issue a public clarification

Dominic's hands trembled as he raised the knife, veins bulging across his forehead.I took a step forward, getting right in his face. "Do it! Stab me right here! If I die, you get the death penalty, and if I live, you just get to rot in a cell for a few more years.""You…" He loosened his grip, and the folding knife hit the floor with a heavy clink.I picked up my cracked phone and opened my car door. "Remember, Dominic. I didn't destroy you; your arrogance did."As I drove off, I caught a glimpse of him in the rearview mirror. He was sitting slumped on the floor, clutching his head as his shoulders shook violently.The next morning, I had my secretary send out three encrypted files. The first went to the board of directors. It contained the full chain of evidence provided by Lydia, including emails where Dominic authorized the resource sabotage of our project, the screenshots of chat logs where he told her to "make our lives a living hell", and the bank transfers showing him em
