Chapter 1

On the first day back to work after the holidays, Wayne Richmond went around handing out cash gifts—100 dollars here, 200 dollars there—just to spread some festive cheer.When it was my turn, he clicked his tongue twice and said in a raised voice, "Meredith, you're a veteran here, so I saved the biggest gift for you."All eyes in the office swiveled toward me.Wayne pulled out a folded sheet of A4 paper and slapped it grandly onto my desk.My face flushed with excitement. I unfolded the paper, only to feel my heart sink slowly.This was no gift—it was clearly a bill! Rent was 60 thousand dollars, shared utilities were five thousand dollars, and the management fee was two thousand dollars, making the total 70 thousand dollars.Below it, Wayne had attached his payment details.The room instantly fell silent.I clutched the paper, my knuckles turning white."Wayne, are you sure there isn't some kind of mistake?"Wayne, with a cigar dangling from his lips, replied with righteous

During the lunch break, Wayne shouted from his office, "Meredith, get in here!"His tone was imperious and commanding, like he was calling out to livestock on a farm.I swallowed down the discomfort rising inside me and walked in.Wayne tapped the bill on his desk with his cigar."Meredith, the company is currently covering this bill for you. Now, it's not that we're short on cash, but we're not going to be a sucker and cover it for you indefinitely."Since you didn't pay up this morning, that'll be another five thousand dollars in interest. Don't worry. I won't keep it for myself. I'll use it to treat everyone to afternoon tea."The office door was open, so when my colleagues outside heard this, they burst into cheers.They shouted "Wayne, you're the man!" and "Long live Wayne!"Wayne's smirk grew even wider at the commotion outside.Looking at that smug face of his, I felt a suffocating tightness in my chest."Wayne, this bill isn't even something I should be paying in the

I glanced over at Tammy, then asked icily, "You make good money with your influencer side hustle, right? So, how about you cover part of this for me? By the way, you still owe me for the gas from those three months I drove you to and from work when you were pregnant last year."Tammy's face went pale in an instant.Her Instagram account was built on a fake rich-woman persona using my car and bags. Clearly, she hadn't expected me to know about this.She hemmed and hawed for a long moment before finally blurting, "It's not like I forced you to do it!"Then, she turned tail and fled.I then looked at Pete and said, "Just yesterday, I was still working overtime cleaning up the mess from that project you handed in before the holidays. You say I was just pretending to work late? Fine, then hand over that project bonus right now."Pete's face flushed a deep red, and he fell silent.Nicki, seeing how things were going and knowing she was in the wrong, muttered something about going to g

The company's front doors were shut tight, and the office area was plunged into pitch darkness.Mr. Wilkins' brows furrowed into a deep knot."Where is Wayne? What on earth is going on with your company?"Tammy fumbled frantically for her phone to call Wayne, only to discover that there was no signal. The call wouldn't go through at all."Mr. Wilkins, there's a power outage. Wayne… He went downstairs to meet you."Mr. Wilkins' expression grew even sterner."Nonsense! Every floor we passed on our way up had power. How could only yours be blacked out?"Wayne pounded desperately on the elevator doors, his muffled voice echoing from inside."Mr. Wilkins, I'm in here! I'm trapped in the elevator!"Mr. Wilkin's expression darkened further.Wayne, sensing disaster, quickly said, "Mr. Wilkins, please don't be upset. I'll contact the property management right now."He pulled out his phone, only to remember that for all these years, I had been the one handling all the communication wi

Wayne's hands trembled violently as he held the paper. A few seconds later, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out on the spot.The moment he fainted, the paper in his hand fluttered to the floor.Some curious colleagues crowded around to take a look, and every single person who saw it had their expression change instantly.They exchanged glances, yet not one of them dared to say a single word.Tammy, not knowing what had happened, shouted anxiously, "What's wrong with you all? Wayne's passed out. Why isn't anyone calling an ambulance?"The building's on-site medic arrived and checked on Wayne.Wayne had simply fainted from lack of oxygen in the elevator, combined with extreme emotional agitation.The ambulance arrived in due time and took Wayne away.Only then did the paper make its way into Tammy's hands. She shone a flashlight and stared at it intently.It was a civil complaint, and the defendants were Wayne and all employees of Springen Corporation.It demanded that Wayn

One by one, my colleagues stepped forward to plead with me. All the sharp-tongued nastiness of the past had transformed into groveling ingratiation.I swept my gaze over each panicked face and felt nothing but contempt."When I offered you all my genuine goodwill before, how did you treat me? You sucked up to power and kicked me when I was down. Not one of you remembered my kindness. Now that it's time to face the consequences, you finally know fear. Too bad it's far too late."Chester, following my instructions, distributed the compiled copies of evidence to each person.Screenshots of defamatory Instagram posts and chat records were clearly laid out. These were all the pieces of proof I'd quietly collected over five years, every single time I was stabbed in the back.A few of them went weak at the knees just looking at it and crumpled to the floor."Meredith, I was just a loudmouth with a rotten tongue. I'm sorry. I'll do anything you want. My son is about to take the civil ser

By the time I reached the hospital and approached the door to Wayne's ward, the hysterical cursing from inside was already spilling out into the hallway.Wayne was on the phone, raging about how ungrateful I was and how I'd schemed and set him up.I smiled and pushed the door open, walking in.Wayne was propped up against the hospital bed. The moment he saw me enter, his eyes went bloodshot.Ignoring the nurse trying to hold him back, he made as if to jump out of the bed."Meredith, you've got some nerve showing up here! I'm telling you, if you don't drop the lawsuit today, don't even think about leaving this ward!"But the moment he saw the police officers following behind me, Wayne's expression instantly changed.Bianca, sensing things had taken a bad turn, threw herself onto the floor and began throwing a fit."Everyone, judge for yourselves! Is there no justice left in this world? Wayne poured himself into this business, never imagining the person he brought on board would

My words hit like a bolt out of the blue.Bianca's mouth hung wide open, her tantrum-throwing motions frozen mid-gesture. Her face twisted into a grotesque mask, her lips trembling as she asked me, "W-What do you mean?"The patients and family members who had been watching the spectacle also fell instantly silent, their eyes brimming with a gossipy look and probing curiosity.I glanced at Bianca and pulled up the photos I'd long saved on my phone. The images showed Tammy at her prenatal check-ups, with Wayne right by her side.The two were intimately close, acting every bit like a married couple. It went well beyond what was appropriate between a boss and an employee.There were also Tammy's Instagram posts, selfie after selfie with veiled declarations of love, where a man always appeared in the background, showing only a hand or a neck.From the accessories, it was easy to tell the man was Wayne. One of the rings was even a matching couple's set with Bianca's own."What I'm say

Chapter 9

A week later, the court summons was formally delivered into Wayne's hands. By then, he had just been released on bail pending trial.Multiple charges weighed on his shoulders, and his household was in utter shambles.One by one, every single client terminated their contracts with the company. In the span of a single week, Springen Corporation declared bankruptcy.When Wayne received the summons, he suffered a heart attack on the spot and was rushed into the ICU.During this period, Bianca sent people to negotiate with me multiple times. As long as I would drop all lawsuits, she was willing to pay double compensation for the 600 thousand dollars owed and promised to give me a public apology.I held my ground and steadfastly refused.The last time I turned Bianca down, I asked her why she kept persisting.Her face was ashen and haggard, as if she'd aged ten years."No matter what, Wayne is still Trevor's father. If something happens to him, Trevor will be shunned by others in the
