Chapter 9

<p>After sending the email, I looked up and locked eyes with Mia, who was completely stunned.</p><p>I flashed her a dazzling smile. "Sorry, Ms. White.</p><p>"Looks like it's not me who's getting the boot."</p><p>Almost as soon as the words left my mouth, the sound of email notifications echoed from Amy's and the HR Director's phones.</p><p>Henry, still standing in the office doorway, felt his phone buzz in his pocket too.</p><p>The instant everyone caught sight of that email subject line, all their faces froze.</p><p>Mia's smug grin and cocky attitude disappeared without a trace.</p><p>All that was left was an overwhelming wave of shock and panic.</p><p>As for Henry, the moment he saw the email, his body swayed, and his eyes rolled back.</p><p>Then he collapsed, stiff as a board, right in front of everyone.</p><p>The whole office went dead silent.</p><p>My counterattack was just getting started.</p><p>The moment Henry collapsed, the entire office froze.</p><p>The air filled with screams and gasps, mingling with the crash of chairs and desks into one chaotic uproar.</p><p>"Call an ambulance. Now. Mr. Cole passed out."</p><p>"Oh my god, how could this happen?"</p><p>The first to react was the HR Director, Bella Warren, a middle-aged woman.</p><p>She rushed forward, ordering someone to call an ambulance while trying to keep everyone calm.</p><p>Meanwhile, Mia, the other main player in this mess, was completely stunned.</p><p>She stood there, staring at Henry, who was lying unconscious on the floor.</p><p>The color drained from her face at a speed visible to the naked eye.</p><p>Mia never thought things would blow up like this.</p><p>She'd been so sure she'd get to watch me get thrown out in disgrace.</p><p>She never imagined I'd have such a game-changing ace up my sleeve.</p><p>Adultery. Illegal asset misappropriation. Workplace bullying. Each word was a heavy bomb. And I detonated them all without hesitation.</p><p>Mia stared at me, her eyes no longer holding arrogance and contempt. Instead, for the first time, they showed panic and fear.</p><p>"Y-You're insane." Mia's voice was trembling, and her hand shook as she pointed at me. "How dare you make such a scene?</p><p>"Do you know who I am? Do you have any idea who my dad is?</p><p>"You ruined Henry, and don't think you'll get off easy."</p><p>At this point, her only play was to fall back on her family name to intimidate me.</p><p>Pathetic and laughable.</p><p>I couldn't be bothered to spare Mia a glance.</p><p>My gaze went right past her and landed on William and Amy, who had just rushed over.</p><p>Their expressions were extremely complex, marked by shock, solemnity, and probing curiosity toward me.</p><p>Bella pushed up her glasses and walked right up to me, her voice serious. "Olivia, is everything you reported in that email true?</p><p>"Do you have any evidence?"</p><p>I nodded.</p><p>Calmly, I pulled a folder out of my desk drawer.</p><p>It was a folder I'd prepared in advance, packed with hard copies of all the evidence: bank statements, copies of property deeds, the prenuptial agreement, and the transcript of my conversation with Henry and Mary yesterday.</p><p>I said, "Ms. Warren, Amy, all the evidence is right here.</p><p>"Every transfer, every document, and every recording will hold up to any investigation.</p><p>"I take full legal responsibility for every word I have said."</p><p>My voice wasn't loud, yet it carried clearly through the entire office.</p><p>All the whispers died down.</p><p>Everyone's eyes were glued to the folder I handed over.</p><p>That thin folder suddenly felt like it weighed a ton.</p>
