Chapter 180

Genevieve was no fool. Scarred by past betrayals, she had grown wary of Whitney’s maneuvers, especially given the losses she had suffered at the hands of Whitney.

In a prior incident, Whitney had stolen her design, saved only by Kimberly’s sense of justice. Otherwise, Genevieve might have left the company long ago.

This time, Whitney had abandoned her usual aggressive tactics and taken a seemingly friendly approach.

As the head of the department, Genevieve valued harmony in the workplace, understanding she still needed to interact professionally with Whitney.

Little did she realize that old habits die hard. Whitney’s return was not without ulterior

motives.

Joey, Genevieve’s colleague who brought her juice, had a dubious side. Ever reliant on flattery to get ahead, Joey would have been fired long ago if not for her creative talents.

Genevieve, however, saw through Joey’s tactics, having always admired Kimberly’s promotion of employees based on merit alone.

Despite Joey’s many attempts to win her favor, she gained nothing from Genevieve.

Even a male colleague, who started at the same time as Joey, had risen to a junior supervisor role.

Resentful at being passed over for promotion, she was convinced that Genevieve and the male colleague were having an affair. In her book, Genevieve was abusing her powers to promote the man.

So, when Whitney returned, Joey, as easily swayed as a weathervane in the wind, begant playing both sides to her advantage.

While maintaining a facade of politeness toward Whitney, Joey unknowingly became a pawn in the latter’s bold schemes.

Joey showered Whitney with compliments, and it was not long before she became Whitney’s number one pawn.

She was thrilled to learn of Whitney’s plan.

It felt like a heaven-sent opportunity had fallen into her lap.

Joey had long held a grudge against Genevieve, and Whitney’s plot seemed to present. the perfect chance for Joey to vent her frustrations while also earning the latter’s favor.
