Chapter 1

"Zoe, I've finished the contract for the project we secured yesterday on your behalf. Shall I send it to the client now?"The familiar voice jolted me awake."Don't touch the computer! I'll deal with the contract on my own. Leave my office at once!"The same day in my previous life, Jenny had tried to show off. While I was in a meeting, she snuck into my office and made the contract on her own.In the end, she misplaced a decimal point, turning a multi-million-dollar deal into a one-dollar giveaway.I had rushed all the way to the high-speed rail station, begging and negotiating, even drinking with the client the entire night.Only then did I manage to recover the company's losses.Jenny pouted aggrievedly, saying, "Zoe, do you think I'm stupid? You wouldn't even let me do a thing. I don't know much, sure, but I've been working hard for the company. It's like you're biased against me."Since the day she joined, it was either she 'accidentally' destroying important documents or

Jenny remained unchanged from her previous life; she still eyed that bidding proposal."Didn't we agree that Edward would mentor you from now on? Why are you still in my office?"Jenny jumped and stiffened at my voice. With trembling hands, she dropped the bidding proposal straight into the shredder."M-Ms. Strallen, I'm here to make it up to you by cleaning."I looked around.A painting by my grandfather hung on the wall. She had wiped it with alcohol. The entire painting was smudged. It was completely ruined.The plant on my desk, worth thousands, had withered. The soil was still steaming. Inside the watering can was freshly boiled water.Not to mention the neatly organized documents, now reduced to complete chaos.Cleaning?She was not there to clean. She was there to cause trouble.I looked at the shredded documents, my voice turning icy, "Is destroying documents also your way of making up?"Jenny flusteredly tried to avoid my gaze. "I saw that you have too many useless

Jenny's face scrunched up as she slumped into Edward's arms, asking slowly, "Mr. Cooper, did I do something wrong? I'm afraid of going with Ms. Strallen. She might get too agitated and hurt me…"Edward hugged her tightly as he eyed me impatiently."Why are you yelling at Jenny? You scared her! Look, it's just a small procedural mistake!"Jenny has a stronger sense of responsibility than most people. Do you really want her to feel guilty over such a small thing for the rest of her life?"My phone buzzed at that moment. All of them were from business partners, demanding answers.[Ms. Strallen, the project is about to start. What do you mean, your identity information is invalid?][You didn't run off with the money, did you? Get over here and explain yourself, or I'm calling the police!]…Message after message, filled with suspicion and accusations.I held the phone up in front of Edward, yelling hysterically, "If they call the police, I will end up in prison! You call this 'a s

Edward immediately stood next to Jenny and pointed at me."Yes! I'm the current CEO of the company, and I can testify!"Zoe Strallen has been the one drafting the contracts, while Jenny and I have just been cleaning up after her mess! I never expected her to be so bold, disregarding the law and inflating the price by four times!"I froze on the spot and watched as Edward blatantly accused me of something I never did.Was this really the same man who once said that in this company, I would be his most capable right hand, his strongest support?He knew what would happen if I were taken in for investigation; my reputation would be destroyed. I would be subjected to five years of regular scrutiny.Even the company itself would suffer the consequences. Most companies, when faced with someone like that, would rather pay compensation and fire them outright.For Jenny… He was willing to throw away my entire future.The officer looked at the information on the contract. It was indeed my

That mentorship agreement was a complete joke.I just did not expect that Edward would use it at such a time to get me to yield.Seizing the opportunity, Jenny handed the agreement to the officers, exclaiming, "Yes! She's my mentor! She'll take responsibility for any mistakes I make! See, the agreement has stated it loud and clear! Go talk to her! This has nothing to do with me!"The way she was desperately throwing me under the bus made me laugh.After reviewing the agreement, the officials turned to me for routine questioning. "The signature–is it yours? And it was signed during your employment?"Edward panicked when he noticed how I remained quiet. He immediately replied on my behalf, flustered, "She signed it! Take her with you for questioning!"I smiled and looked at him. "I haven't even answered. Why are you in such a hurry? Afraid they’ll notice the loopholes in the agreement?""Stop trying to twist the facts! What loopholes could there be?" he immediately retorted, but t

That explained why Edward's parents did not even ask why the wedding was being called off. As it turned out, they had long planned how to deal with the matter.My father was furious. He wanted to charge up to Edward to question him, but I stopped him. I did not want him to get upset over this."Dad, don't worry. It's all in the past. I don't want anything to do with him."Nonetheless, Edward clearly had no sense of shame. He held Jenny's arm and walked over to me with glee in his eyes."My parents told me that you were here to call off the wedding. Not to be rude, Zoe, but at your age, who'd still want you after this? I was initially worried about coming up with an excuse, but you call it off yourself, saving me the trouble."Jenny snuggled up in Edward's arms. Her words only made things sound worse."Zoe, Mr. Cooper confessed to me after breaking up with you. We only got together after the break-up. I'm not a mistress, okay? So don't call me that. After all, the one who isn't lo

As a few men came out from the fire exit, I quickly hid to the side.Then, I heard Jenny making a phone call."Yes, I've handed out all her cards. These men are big shots; she won't dare to offend them. Don't worry! In less than two days, the entire industry will be talking about how she sells her body to clients. Let's see how her new company resumes operation after this!"I got it now. They were trying to ruin me with rumors like that!I was so furious that I nearly cackled.Returning to the hall, I got my assistant to find out Jenny's hotel room number. Anyone with an ulterior agenda at the gala would stay the night in the hotel.Sure enough, we found out Jenny's room number.My assistant said to me, "This woman has been all over entertainment headlines lately. Seems like someone's backing her as she's trying to enter the industry. Zoe, are you sure you want to go after her?"I raised my wine glass, my gaze icy. "I wouldn't have thought of even pestering her if she didn't st

Hearing Edward's bellowing on the phone, I hung up on him.I sneered as I looked at the computer screen of the photos of Jenny's hotel room.She was not as dumb as I thought after all. She realized that I had made my move.I still could not understand how Edward could be so utterly fooled by her act of fragility, trusting her delicate exterior so blindly.To stand up for Jenny, he even used his influence at my former company to sabotage my new business. He tried stealing clients away from me, as well as offering triple salaries to steal my employees.Luckily, none of my employees swayed; they informed me of his every move instead.In the past, Edward and Jenny had always struck first, and I had to endure. This time, it was my turn to strike first.…Edward had one weakness: he was lazy. Even after our breakup, he did not change his passwords.I remembered his password on his cloud storage. I remembered he had a habit of backing up his photos on the cloud.I remember in my pre

"Now that you've resigned, we'll no longer tolerate the dirty tricks you pulled before! Do you even treat your clients as people?"The clients were baffled, but they ignored Edward and Jenny. Instead, they asked me, "Ms. Strallen, what is going on? This is a big day for us! I'll get security!"I smiled and waved dismissively."Oh, don't let them spoil our fun, everyone."Everyone started talking about the new project, pretending that Edward and Jenny did not exist.Infuriated, Edward yelled at each client by name and insisted that they look at the project quotations.I stopped him, saying indifferently, "Why are you just making things difficult for yourself? No one wants to deal with you. I know you're trying to use this to steal my clients, but Edward, you got one thing wrong."The price of the contract was indeed two points higher, but the profit the company earned? That was all covered by my personal commission. Richard knows this. How do you think I maintain relationships wi
