Chapter 1

Even as I clicked into the comment section, I still couldn't believe it.In just a few short hours, many employees from the company had come forward with anecdotes of their own to confirm the news.The top comment read, "The last time we had an opening for the manager position in our department, I clearly had higher qualifications and more experience than my male coworker on the same team. However, in the end, he was the one who got promoted."My boss even tried to gaslight me, saying the position was more suitable for a man, and that she'd definitely consider me next time. Well, it's been ages now, and I've gotten absolutely nothing!"The comment was utterly ridiculous to me. I knew who wrote it—Roxy Hunt, from the sales and marketing department.Back when the company was selecting someone for that position, I'd been very clear about the reason for my decision.The market segment for that role was primarily aimed at male consumers. It involved frequent and unpredictable business

As a result of that incident, the board of directors at the company headquarters wanted to replace me. I had to put up with the pressure and promise the company that I'd bring in 100 million dollars in profit this year. If I failed, I would resign voluntarily.The only punishment I gave Ingrid for her mistake was docking one month's salary. Not long after that, she came to me in tears, saying her mother was sick, and the family was in urgent need of money.Without asking any questions, I gave her 50 thousand dollars. I didn't ask her to pay me back either.Having recalled all of this, I turned off the screen and set my phone aside.I was in the stairwell when I saw a small group of employees gathered in the office lobby. They were discussing the viral news about the company."Let's see how long that hag, Nicole Emerson, can keep acting all cocky in front of us now. I heard that she got a call from the Department of Labor.""Thank God! All I want is for the company to replace her

"What? How can you cancel our benefits? I haven't even paid for my son's private tutoring this month!""I haven't taken my menstrual leave yet. I was counting on it to get a break for some fresh air this month!""How am I supposed to pay my car loan if I no longer have the additional thousand dollars in family support allowance?"By then, I'd walked out of the conference room. I wasn't the least bit interested in seeing their reactions.Roxy rushed into my office immediately. Her face was pale."This is retaliation, Ms. Emerson! We only asked for gender equality in the workplace—not a blanket cut to all the benefits!""I think a blanket policy is the fairest way to ensure equality," I responded evenly. "What's the matter? You have a problem with that?"Gritting her teeth, Roxy stormed back out of my office.Ingrid didn't look all too good either. "Ms. Emerson, I got my period today. I'm not feeling well. I need to take the afternoon off to go home and get some rest."In the pa

"Please take a look at this, Mr. Sawyer. Under your leadership, in just two weeks, our department's performance grew exponentially. This fully proves how important a capable male leader is to a team!" Roxy declared.Then, with a shift in her tone, she began to point fingers at me. "In contrast, a certain female senior executive only knows how to pander to men. She has no leadership ability whatsoever and is completely unfit to sit in that position."A chorus of agreeing voices rippled through the crowd.Roxy proceeded to take out a joint petition before making an emotional appeal."Mr. Sawyer, Ms. Emerson is utterly inhumane. Not only does she suppress female employees from going on work assignments and getting promotions, she even forces employees who are close to giving birth to work overtime at their desks! She nearly caused the death of a mother and her unborn child!"Just to meet her own performance targets, she has withheld the employees' wages, too. We have parents to suppo

The employees' earlier joy vanished without a trace. A heavy silence hung in the air.One female employee spoke up in a trembling voice. "What can I do with three thousand dollars a month? I can't even cover my bills and basic expenses with that, let alone treat myself to some good skincare products!""This isn't fair. You're clearly forcing us to engage in a cutthroat competition internally. Everyone knows that the same few people always achieve the highest sales numbers. You're basically telling me to leave the company!""That's right! I need this job to support my family. You're pushing us way too far!" a male employee cried out, scratching his head in agitation.Roxy's expression was the most unpleasant of all.Her performance ranked at the bottom every month. She relied on her teammates to secure a salary that was several times higher than that of the people on other teams.Previously, several employees had come to me with complaints, asking me to let Roxy go. However, I pit

After the plane landed, I turned on my phone. Messages in the company group chat came flooding in. It was line after line of rants and complaints."Three days straight of working until 3:00 am, and we still have to clock in at 9:00 am! I'm seriously going to drop dead!""Well, we've already agreed to make sure Roxy is the first one to get dismissed at the end of the month. She's the one who got us into this mess.""None of this crap ever happened when Ms. Emerson was in charge."Someone tagged me, and a whole string of people joined in.Pissed, Roxy sent a message as well."She has already been transferred to the office in Westmoor to develop a new market. There's no way she's ever going to get promoted. You guys might as well focus on currying favor with Mr. Sawyer instead."As soon as she said that, no one tagged me again.Acting like I hadn't read their messages, I muted the chat.Once I got to Westmoor, I worked closely with the CEO there. I learned quite a lot about marke

Chapter 7

Once I stepped out of the conference room, Roxy waltzed over to me with a smirk."Those people ostracized me for six months. It's finally time you got what you deserved," she declared before linking arms with Justin and sauntering off.As I watched them from behind, my lips curved into a mocking sneer. She was being used as a pawn and happily doing the dirty work.Justin was a short-sighted man who focused entirely on short-term gains. Teaming up with him was akin to playing with fire.Back in my office, I took screenshots of every message in the company group chat and sent them straight to the board of directors. They understood the whole situation far better than I did. At this point, there was no way they'd abandon a cash cow like me.In less than ten minutes, I got a call from the chairman, Daniel Carlson."We're aware of the situation now, Nicole. How would you like us to handle this? Do you want us to fire Roxy Hunt?""No need," I calmly replied. "I hereby request to volun

Chapter 8

None of the employees caught on to what Roxy meant."Huh? Is that the new leave policy? First day on the job, and you're giving us some paid time off? That's great!""Nope. It means that all of you need to get your asses out of here now. You're all fired. The company needs fresh blood, so it's time for you old leeches to go," Roxy declared.Everyone froze in shock."What did you say? Didn't you promise that if we helped you get to the top, you'd give us high salaries and better benefits?"Only then did some of them realize they had been played."We went through several rounds of interviews to get hired! What right do you have to fire us for no reason?" one employee argued.Roxy swept her gaze across their familiar faces, snorting as if she'd just heard a joke. "What right do I have? It's my right as the head of the Harvington branch and your boss, of course."Chaos broke out as everyone surrounded her. They demanded an explanation."Keep making a scene, and you can forget abou
