Chapter 12

I looked at Rita, my gaze clear and cold.

“What makes you so high and mighty? Is it that pig–brain of yours too dense to grasp even Gomoku? Or bragging about scooping up my discarded man like he’s some trophy? Maybe gloating over career crumbs I spat out? And this ‘circle of yours–men and women wallowing in their own filth, rutting like barn animals? Keep your stinking pen locked tight with Julian. I’ll take fresh air over your rot.”

My tone was gentle, my words dripping with venom.

Rita’s face twisted in a furious grimace. She began to rant, “Shut up! I’ll rip your mouth out! I’ll kill you!” Leaping from her chair, she lunged at me.

I stood motionless. As she neared, I forcefully threw the documents in my hand onto her face. She stumbled, bleeding from her nose.

*Handover complete. I wish you luck in destroying the Shaw Corp. With that, I turned and left.

‘Olivia Frost, I won’t let you get away with this!” Clutching her nose, her crazed screams seemed to shake the entire building. No one from the team dared say anything.

I walked out of the office. After a while, my old subordinates cautiously caught me up, their concern and empathy palpable. In Mandy’s hands was a box filled with my trophies, which she had just rescued from the garbage bin despite the pressure.

‘Ms. Frost, let me take these down for you.”

Her gesture warmed my heart; my eyes welled up. Although this was the darkest moment of my life, it wasn’t completely devoid of light.

“Okay.” I smiled, accepting her help.

The team walked me to the elevator; Mandy carried my things downstairs. Before I left, I told her, “Tell everyone to focus on their work. Don’t mess with Miss Crowe. I hope she’ll get bored soon and leave on her own. If any problems arise on the projects under her supervision, report directly to Mr. Shaw. Don’t wait for her to shift the blame; you can’t handle the consequences of issues with projects worth tens of millions. If Mr. Shaw knows it’s her fault, he’ll figure it out.”
