Semua Bab I Take the Fall, but They Pay the Price: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Liam immediately put on a pitiful expression and said to Megan, "Ms. Grant, since I'm that useless, maybe I should just leave."He turned to walk out the door.Megan panicked and grabbed him. "Who said you're useless? As long as I'm around, no one can kick you out!"Then, she turned to me and snapped, "Flynn, I'm so disappointed in you! How could you use your seniority to bully your junior? Liam works hard and takes his job seriously. He may only be an assistant now, but I believe that with enough time, he'll become one of the industry's rising stars!"I couldn't help but laugh when I heard that.Ever since Liam joined the company, Megan had blindly believed in his abilities and repeatedly handed him important projects to give him experience.The result? He had botched several major deals and nearly offended one of our long-standing suppliers.If I hadn't swallowed my pride and personally gone to apologize and make amends, the supplier would have escalated the matter to our head

I had no reason to refuse.After we agreed on my start date, I politely declined their invitation to lunch and prepared to leave for my next appointment.Unexpectedly, the moment I stepped out of the private room, I ran into Megan and Liam.The pair froze for a moment.Megan looked at me in confusion and asked, "What are you doing here?"In the ten years we had been together, Megan had never heard me mention an interest in coffee, let alone see me frequent a place like this.Liam suddenly jumped to his own conclusions. "How could you, Flynn? Did you hear we were meeting a client here today and deliberately followed us?"I could not help but laugh.Although meeting here was just a coincidence, I did have something I needed to discuss with Megan.I headed toward her and said, "I need to talk to you."At those words, Megan's expression instantly softened.A hint of triumph appeared in her eyes, but her tone remained even. "So, you finally realized you were wrong after spending

The moment Liam heard his name, he instantly lost his composure. "T-That's nonsense!"I ignored him and handed the USB drive to Sam's secretary, Peter, who plugged it into a computer.The next second, every action performed on Liam's computer appeared on the screen.At various times, he had repeatedly transferred money from the company's accounts into a personal bank account.He had even quietly altered the financial records afterward to conceal the missing funds.For a moment, everyone fell silent.Even Megan, who had been determined to protect Liam, was at a loss for words.Sam snorted coldly. "Well? Do you have anything to say, Liam?"The evidence was undeniable, but Liam still refused to give up. He pleaded pitifully, "Mr. Davis, you have to believe me! I've always been completely loyal to the company. Flynn must have deliberately set me up!"He's hated me for a long time. He must have known you were coming here today and fabricated this video just to frame me!"Megan cou

To help Megan recover from that ordeal as quickly as possible, I made a private arrangement with Sam.I promised that if he agreed to make Megan the president, I would stay and help turn it into the most profitable division in the company.Unfortunately, that chapter of my life ended just like our marriage had.After seven years, it came to an abrupt end.I said calmly, "It's all in the past. There's no need to bring it up."Peter wisely fell silent.Sam glanced at Megan, growing angrier the more he thought about it. "You took a perfectly good company and turned it into a complete mess! "Not only did you allow employees to frame their colleagues, but you even had the nerve to fire one of the people who built this branch! If anyone deserves to be fired, it's you!"With that, he immediately ordered Peter to publish an announcement on the company's website and group chat, formally removing Megan from her position as president and clearing my name.Finally, he instructed HR to te

As I listened to her story, which was getting increasingly ridiculous, I could not help but frown. "Megan Grant, we're separated now."Megan did not seem to care. "Being separated doesn't mean we're divorced. We've been together for ten years. We have plenty of chances to start over."Since Megan had refused to sign the divorce papers, our divorce had yet to be finalized.There was no point in arguing with her. I took out the divorce petition, along with all the videos and text messages Liam had sent me."These are all evidence of how you betrayed me," I said, showing them to her. "Along with the testimony from Mr. Davis and the others, it's more than enough to prove that our marriage has completely broken down. It's only a matter of time before the court grants the divorce. You're on your own after that."I stood up and turned to leave.However, Megan could not accept it. She hurried after me and grabbed my arm. "Flynn, there was nothing between Liam and me! I only treated him d
