Chapter

The next day, news broke that Michael had used my company for illegal fundraising

Hordes of angry netizens flooded my social media accounts, leaving vile comments

I watched as usernamesrandom strings of letters and numberskept refreshing, demanding my home address and stirring up public outrage

It was obvious this was Michael’s doing

asked the company’s tech team to track the IPs behind the comments

Sure enough, they traced back to him

Everything clicked

He was trying to get rid of me entirelynot only to escape the illegal fundraising scandal but also to cash in on my life insurance

But something puzzled me: why was he so devoted to Alice

Was it just because she was his true love

After all our years together, he could have just divorced me

Why resort to murder

There had to be something I didn’t know

My team dug into Alice’s medical records

She was clever, avoiding major hospitals and instead visiting a small community clinic

It turned out she was four months pregnant

Five years ago, Michael had injured himself while playing frisbee with friends

The doctor had said he would be fine in everyday life but would no longer be able to father children

Worried about his feelings, I kept this from him, simply advising him to take it easy and rest

hapte 

But every year, I quietly instructed HR to include a fertility test in his company health check

Every year, the results came back the same: zero

So how was Alice pregnant

I laughed bitterly

The two of them deserve each other. A perfect match.” 

As I investigated further, the public outrage grew louder. Protesters even gathered outside t company, demanding I take responsibility

me held signs calling for refunds, while others disrupted business operations entirely

Before leaving for Switzerland, Michael had cited health issues to transfer ownership of the company to me, making me the primary person responsible

The shareholders were relentless, piling pressure on me

Just admit fault and let Michael come back to handle this.” 

Exactly. A woman running a company? What could you possibly accomplish?” 

I calmly stared at their smug, disdainful faces

Whether I succeed or fail, I’m still the CEO. Not you.” 

What gives you the right to criticize me?” 

When a few of them slammed the table and made moves to intimidate me, the security guards stepped in and escorted them out

I fired them all on the spot

They were Michael’s cronies, complicit in his schemes

From my first day in the company, I’d been collecting evidence against them

Yesterday, I finally stumbled upon a crucial USB drive

Apparently, they were so distrustful of each other that they’d created a spreadsheet to document how they split their dirty money

hapter 

The evidence on that drive was enough to exonerate me and prove Michael’s illegal fundraising

But it wasn’t enough

I spent an hour applying pale makeup to make myself look ghostly, then sat down in front of the camera and started a livestream

I highlighted how Michael and his true loveAlice had conspired to frame me, forged my signature to secure loans, and abandoned his family to run away with her

At the end, I let the tears fall, pouring out a heartwrenching plea to Michael

Michael, I’ve never blamed you. I understandit’s Alice’s fault. She shouldn’t have come back into 

pur life, showing up every day, looking so beautiful.” 

It’s only natural for you to be tempted.” 

I knew exactly what the internet hated, and I gave it to them

The livestream quickly went viral, topping every platform, even internationally
