How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 530

The blow hit her so hard, it was as if her mind had shut down completely.

A cold, suffocating dread pressed in from all sides, leaving her feeling like she was drowning.

Everything that had happened lately felt like a disaster of biblical proportions for her and her family.

She couldn't even understand how things had gone so wrong-just when it seemed like life was finally turning around, one crisis after another had come crashing down, each unraveling the fragile progress she'd made.

Now, she had no choice but to look for some other way out.

The news about the misappropriated bonuses hadn't leaked.

But inside the company, the "regime change" had sent shockwaves through every department.
