All Chapters of From a Trip to a Toy: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

I set up the company myself, so I knew exactly where the surveillance cameras were and where the blind spots were. The organizer was Lisa Griffin. At my words, she immediately turned deathly pale. Our colleagues in the audience began nodding. They clearly agreed we should pull up the surveillance footage. Lisa dropped her voice to a whisper, saying, "I suggest you drop this."I found it ridiculous. "You're trying to steal my prize, and now you want me to drop it? What gave you the nerve?"Lisa swept me with a cold glance and scoffed, as if she couldn't believe I had the audacity to ask that."Because Katie is Mr. Cosby's girlfriend. He personally told me to reserve this prize for her."I was stunned, and then a wave of anger rose inside me.I let Vincent run the company so he could win Grandpa's approval sooner. I also didn't tell him who I really was because I didn't want him to feel inferior to me. Instead, I used my resources to help him behind the scenes. He had even v

Grandpa could tell something was off and asked anxiously, "Harriet, what happened? Did that Vincent guy mistreat you?" I told Grandpa everything that had happened. After hearing my story, he flew into a rage."Whatever you plan to do to get back at him, you'll always have my support."We may not have much, but we've got plenty of money and businesses. We can grind him down if we need to!"A warmth spread through me, and I hummed in response. That night, I let myself process all my emotions and actually slept really well.The next day, Vincent's call jolted me from my sleep. "Harriet, stop throwing a tantrum. I just felt bad for Katie because she comes from a poor family, and I thought of helping her. There was nothing else to it."I didn't hold back and said, "Many employees in your company are supporting their families too. Why don't you feel bad for all of them?"Seeing that I refused to give in, Vincent finally lost his patience."Harriet, you've been through a lot helpin

As soon as the guard spoke, Vincent struggled to his feet. "No way! That's impossible! Harriet, are you nuts? Did you really team up with these guards to put on a show and fool everyone just to get back at me?"Even Katie's eyes were filled with complete disbelief. "Harriet's just a senior employee at our company, and she's been with us for over a year. A few days ago, she even made a fuss over 50 thousand dollars at our annual party. "How could she possibly be the CEO of Ruby Group? Stop this little act of yours!"At that moment, a man wearing glasses and a suit burst into the room. Seeing him, Vincent thought he had found a way out of this mess and cried out."Mr. Richardson, save me! These lunatics are putting on a show, claiming my employee, Harriet Underwood, is the CEO of Ruby Group. Isn't that absurd?"Maurice Richardson worked for Ruby Group and was responsible for liaising with Vincent's company. I even had him arrange for Vincent to receive an invitation to the biddin

Like a lunatic, Vincent burst into my office. Ignoring the guards' attempts to stop him, he slammed his hands on my desk, yelling, "Harriet, were you behind this?"I calmly looked up at him. "Behind what?"Vincent fixed his bloodshot stare on me. "My company's key project plans got leaked, clients are walking away, and my cash flow has been cut off!"You're definitely behind this, aren't you? You can't stand seeing me succeed, so you deliberately sabotaged me behind the scenes!"I glanced at the guilty-looking Katie behind him and snorted. I grabbed the files on my desk and hurled them at him."Take a good look. Don't just blame me for everything."Confused, Vincent picked up the files. As he read through them, his face grew paler, and his hands started trembling uncontrollably. Seeing this, Katie leaned in closer to take a look. The moment she saw the files, her face drained of color, and she backed away in shock.Vincent snapped his head up and turned to her, yelling, "Katie
