Alle Kapitel von Penniless? But I'm Her Boss: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 9

Layla and the manager acted fast. While Draco and I were at home eating birthday cake, the topic shot straight into the top ten of the trending list. They must have paid to boost it.The hashtag #GoldDiggerCursingAWaitressInARestaurant left both my boyfriend and me stunned.They really had a talent for distorting the truth. In the video, Layla wore tear-effect makeup with smudged eyeliner and damp, streaked cheeks meant to make her look pitiful at first glance. Tears streamed down her face as she tearfully recounted my alleged behavior."I'm just a regular waitress. I just want to work peacefully and earn my money. I didn't expect her words to be so cruel. After she ordered, she called me a pauper, maybe because I don't wear designer clothes like her, so she looked down on me. Every penny I earn is honest money, not like hers… "Luckily, our manager is a reasonable and kind person and stepped in for me. Otherwise, I can't even imagine whether she would have gone so far as to rip

Layla strode up to me in a rage and pushed me back. "Who told you to come here right now? Get lost!" She then turned to the others and snapped, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and drag this woman out! The manager said the executives' cars have already arrived downstairs. If she runs into them and causes trouble, none of us will be able to take the blame!"Warren trembled all over in fear and immediately slapped Layla across the face. "Who gave you the nerve to speak like that? You'll resign immediately!"Layla didn't recognize Warren. She glanced at the black case in his hands, assumed he was on my side, and slapped him right back. "Old man, who do you think you are? How dare you hit me? Someone, throw this woman's lackey out too!" A few male staff members rushed forward at once, seized both Warren and me, dragged us to the entrance, and threw us out.Warren let out a pained groan. "My back…"I hadn't expected Layla not to recognize Renold's father at all. "Layla, look

Layla lifted her head and looked at Renold in shock. "You bastard, it was you. As soon as you saw Ms. Cole walk in with her boyfriend, you came up to me and said she smelled cheap and looked like she was a kept woman."Renold slapped her hard across the face. "Pick up the money. I never said that. Don't try to pin this on me."Layla turned to me and pleaded, "Ms. Cole, I'm telling the truth. Please believe me."I clapped lightly. "Weren't the two of you on the same side just now? What happened?"They both froze. "How do you know?"I pulled out my phone and played the surveillance footage.Everyone present was stunned."I can't believe they dared to skim off that much money. That takes real nerve.""At this point, they're looking at life in prison. I've heard Cerox's legal department has never lost a case."My expression turned cold. "I've already informed the legal department to come collect evidence. Cerox will pursue this matter to the end."Warren, Renold, and Layla were s

I then realized where I had seen them before.Layla's mother, Mary Lane, worked at our company as a cleaner, and Layla's father, Lennox Greene, was a security guard at the company entrance.I ran into them again three days later.As I arrived at the company entrance, Lennox stepped forward and blocked my way."Ms. Cole, I visited my daughter at the detention center yesterday. She's already lost a lot of weight. She deeply regrets what she did to you and feels so guilty she can barely eat. She asked me to pass along a message and sincerely hopes you'll forgive her and give her a chance to start over," he said.I felt irritated."Move aside," I said coldly.Lennox clenched his jaw, fixing me with a hostile stare."My daughter was right. You're vicious and completely without compassion. Just because you're rich and powerful, you think you can bully people however you please."I replied coldly, "Nonsense."After taking only a few steps into the lobby, I saw Mary mopping the floor
