In the meantime, inside the VIP suite of the South Business Club.Soft music played in the background, and the air reeked of luxury and confidence. Sharon stood straight, chin raised, as she respectfully placed the bag on the table and slid it toward Lawson.Her voice carried unmistakable pride. “Mr. Sultan, Mr. Dawn, I have smuggled out the sample and the confidential information on the liver cancer vaccine developed by Rift Group, exactly as requested.”The moment the bag landed on the table, Lawson and Badan exchanged looks.Their eyes lit up.Lawson was the first to break into laughter. “Hahaha. Excellent work, Sharon. Truly impressive.” He leaned back in his chair, satisfaction written all over his face. “Once our laboratory finishes testing the vaccine sample and confirms the data, I will personally transfer the promised one billion to you immediately.”Sharon’s heart pounded.“T-thank you so much, Mr. Sultan,” she said hurriedly, bowing slightly. Her voice trembled despite her

As usual, Selena chaired the weekly meeting with all the department heads the next morning.The atmosphere in the conference room was serious. The liver cancer vaccine project had reached a critical phase, and every department was under pressure. Selena sat at the head of the table, tablet in hand, listening intently as one report followed another.Halfway through the meeting, the door suddenly swung open.The sharp sound echoed through the room.The director of the quality inspection department finally walked in, heels clicking against the marble floor. Sharon did not look apologetic. If anything, she looked smug.Selena immediately frowned. “Sharon, this meeting is extremely important. Why are you late?” Her voice was calm, but there was clear dissatisfaction beneath it. “Are you feeling unwell?”Under normal circumstances, Sharon would have apologized profusely and tried to smooth things over. She had always been eager to please Selena, afraid of offending her.Today was different.

The moment those words left Sharon’s mouth, Selena’s face drained of color.She stared at Sharon as if she were looking at a stranger. The person standing in front of her no longer resembled the considerate friend she once trusted. Every sentence Sharon spoke now felt like a blade, sharp and deliberate.Before Selena could say anything, Jenny completely lost her composure.She stood up abruptly, her chair scraping loudly against the floor. “Sharon, do you have no shame at all?” Jenny snapped, her voice trembling with anger. “Have you already forgotten who helped you when you were at your lowest?”Sharon raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed.Jenny continued, unable to hold back anymore. “You couldn’t even afford your rent when you were unemployed. You were about to get evicted. President Verrick was the one who gave you this job. She trusted you and even offered you an annual income of five hundred thousand when no one else would give you a chance.”Her eyes reddened as she went on.

“Didn’t you just admit it yourself?” Jenny blurted out, completely stunned.Sharon shrugged lightly and laughed. “I was only joking. What’s wrong? It’s not illegal to pull someone else’s leg, is it?”Her tone was flippant, careless, almost mocking.Everyone in the conference room stared at her in disbelief. There was not a shred of guilt on her face. No panic. No hesitation. It was as if she had already prepared herself for this moment and decided that she no longer needed to pretend.The room erupted almost instantly.The department heads leaned toward one another, whispering anxiously.“If Sharon really smuggled the vaccine sample to Obsidian Corporation, they’ll definitely mass-produce a replicated version soon.”“That’s right. Obsidian Corporation has deep pockets and mature production lines. Once they move, Rift Group won’t stand a chance.”“Not to mention they’re offering double the salary. If we jump ship now, we can secure our future before this place collapses.”The murmurs g

Jaden looked at her with undisguised contempt and spoke calmly, “Are you sure Obsidian Corporation is going to produce a liver cancer vaccine instead of glucose solution?”The room fell silent.Sharon froze for a split second before snapping back, “What do you mean?”Jaden let out a soft chuckle, his expression relaxed, almost amused. “Nothing much. I’m just telling you the truth. The sample you smuggled out of Rift Group was plain glucose solution. It was never a vaccine to begin with.”The words landed like a bomb.Everyone in the conference room stiffened.“What?”“That’s impossible…”“Glucose solution?”Selena stared at Jaden in shock, her eyes widening. “Jaden, are you serious?”Her voice trembled, but beneath the disbelief was a surge of relief she could not hide.“Yes,” Jaden replied without hesitation. “I noticed something was off when she started acting strangely. From that moment on, I had people watching her. Before she ever left the building, the real sample and the authen

Sharon was completely petrified the moment Lawson’s threats sank in.Her legs went weak, and before she could even process what had just happened, she broke down in tears right there in the conference room. The image she had carefully built for herself, the arrogance, the confidence, the superiority, all of it shattered in seconds.She had lost everything.Not only was she fired on the spot, but the one billion she had been dreaming of vanished just as quickly. Worse still, Lawson was demanding the return of the twenty million he had already given her.Sharon knew the truth better than anyone.That money was gone.Luxury bags. Jewelry. Designer clothes. Sports cars. Lavish dinners. She had spent it like water, convinced that the one billion was already in her pocket. Even if she sold everything she owned, every last item, she still would not be able to scrape together twenty million.Fear crept into her bones.Lawson was no saint. He was ruthless, vicious, and cruel. If he said he wou

She knelt before Selena, her pride completely crushed, and cried uncontrollably. “President Verrick, please… please do me one more favor. We’re best friends, right? We grew up together. You can’t just watch me die like this.”Her voice cracked as she grabbed Selena’s sleeve desperately. “I have to return Lawson his money. If I don’t, I’m finished. Completely finished.”Everyone in the room understood one thing clearly. No matter what happened next, Sharon and Selena could never go back to what they once were. That bridge had already been burned. Trampled. Reduced to ashes by Sharon’s own hands.Yet Selena hesitated.Her heart softened despite her reason screaming at her to stay firm. Memories surfaced against her will. The two of them studying late into the night. Sharing meals. Confiding secrets. Supporting each other when life was at its worst. Sharon had once been the person Selena trusted most.Even after the betrayal, Selena could not bring herself to completely abandon her, not

In truth, Jaden had been furious from the very beginning.Sharon’s betrayal alone was already crossing a red line, but what truly pushed him over the edge was the way she had humiliated Selena in public. Those venomous words. That smug, heartless attitude. He had seen Selena holding back her tears, trying to keep her composure as president, and that alone was enough to make him decide that Sharon needed to pay a real price.So yes, the glass office was deliberate.It was never about revenge for the company. It was about Selena.Selena, on the other hand, had already calmed down.She leaned closer to Jaden and whispered softly, “Thankfully, you were by my side this time. If you weren’t here, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have made it through this without getting hurt.”Her voice was gentle, sincere.Then she hesitated for a moment before continuing, “But I think this is enough. We’ve already made an example out of her. Everyone understands the consequences now. Maybe… we should let her return

In response, Selena shot Jaden a sharp glare and snapped, “Jaden, you’re such a rascal!”Before he could react, she lifted her heel and kicked him lightly, more annoyed than angry.Jaden froze on the spot.It took him a few seconds to process what had just happened. When realization finally hit him, his expression stiffened. Only then did he understand how badly his words had come across.So that’s how it sounded.His lips parted, but no explanation came out. He could only sigh inwardly. I didn’t mean it like that, okay?Trying to explain it now would only make things worse. Sometimes, silence really was the safest option.At the same time, far away in the Obsidian Business Club, Lawson was in the middle of another explosive tantrum.The luxurious private room was filled with the sound of smashing glass. A crystal ashtray shattered against the wall, fragments scattering across the carpet. Badan stood off to the side with a grim expression, not daring to intervene.Lawson paced back an

At this moment, Xander and the others finally understood the real reason behind Richie’s sudden visit.It had nothing to do with family ties.Everything revolved around the liver cancer vaccine developed by Selena.When Richie noticed the hesitation on Xander’s face, his expression darkened immediately. His voice turned cold as he questioned, “What’s with that look? Don’t tell me you’re refusing to let us take part in this.”Xander’s heart skipped a beat. He did not have the courage to offend the Verrick family from Shadowmoor.He quickly waved his hands and explained, “Mr. Verrick, please don’t misunderstand. My granddaughter Selena is the one who holds the manufacturing rights. Even I was excluded from her plans. I truly don’t have the authority to decide anything. I’m afraid she won’t agree to this arrangement either.”Richie’s face twisted with anger.“That’s ridiculous!” he barked. “Our family has always followed strict rules. Descendants are expected to obey their elders. How da
