The Chen mansion sparkled like a fairy tale castle. Golden lights hung from the ceiling, and fancy music filled the air. Robert Chen and his wife, Mrs. Chen, threw a huge party to celebrate Chen Industries’ comeback. Guests in shiny suits and glittery dresses sipped fancy drinks. Fancy cars packed the driveway, and a big sign outside said: *Chen Industries is Back!* Sarah Chen stood by a sparkling fountain, her new silver dress shining. Her scars from the prison beating were hidden under makeup, and for the first time in months, she smiled wide, like she was queen again.Robert raised his glass, his voice loud. “To our family!” he said. “Chen Industries is stronger than ever, thanks to new money and new deals!” The crowd cheered, clapping like thunder.

FIVE MONTHS ON...Five months later, the city was still buzzing about Sarah Chen’s downfall. Jessica’s documentary had changed everything—workers were suing, Chen Industries was bankrupt, and Sarah’s name was a joke. But now, Sarah was out on bail, thanks to a slick lawyer who spun her prison beating into a sympathy story. She walked out of jail, her head high, but her eyes burned with rage.In a small, dusty office she’d rented, Sarah sat at a desk, her face still scarred from Carla’s fists. She wore a cheap suit—her designer clothes were gone, sold to pay legal fees. Her phone buzzed with angry messages from old investors, but she ignored them. “Sophia thinks she’s won,” Sarah muttered. “But I’m back, and I’ll destroy her.”She dialed a number, her voice low. “Chief Daniels,” she said. “It’s Sarah Chen. I need a favor. I’ll pay you $500,000 to drop the charges against me. You can bury the evidence.”Unbeknownst to her, a tin

The jail was cold and noisy, with clanging doors and shouting voices echoing off the walls. Sarah Chen sat on her hard bunk, her orange jumpsuit scratched and faded. The tiny TV in the common room played Jessica’s documentary, *The Truth Behind Chen Industries*, on repeat. Clips showed workers crying, Sarah yelling, and factories full of unsafe machines. Social media was worse—#ChenCruelty trended with memes calling her a monster. Sarah’s name was trash, and she knew it.She clutched a scrap of paper, scribbling notes about Sophia Chamberlain. “She’s behind everything,” Sarah muttered. “Sophia—she's ruining me.” Her hands shook with anger. She’d lost her companies, her foundation, her money. Now, the world laughed at her.The cellblock door buzzed open, and a tall woman strode in. Her name was Carla, a tough inmate with scars on her knuckles and a mean glare. Everyone called her the “bad girl” of the prison. She stopped
