Chapter 56



After uncovering the mole within the company, Jade leveraged her extensivework to access the office surveillance footage.

Located at the entrance of the Design Department, the camera quickly revealed that Hank had sneaked back into the office late at night the day before the data mishap, meddling with the computers.

Given the shared nature of many projects within the Design Department, merely logging into the company's account allowed for modifications, explaining why Jade hadn't initially caught on to the issue.

Moreover, taking advantage of the team's celebration over a successful project bid, Hank had sneaked into the office, plugging a USB drive into Jade's computer. Though he had attempted to disguise his actions, the birthmark on his left hand gave him away.

Fuming, Jade gritted her teeth. "That son of a bitch, Hank! After all I did to cover for him last time, he backstabs me like this!"

I held her hand, urging her to calm down. "Jade, you must realize something. The material Hank stole was for your boss." That was the real kicker. Hank was merely a pawn, and her boss was the true villain. Tall poppies were the first to get cut down.

Jade's exceptional capabilities earned her colleagues' trust after joining the company for less than a year, as evidenced by the team showing up for her bid presentation. However, such prominence often made one a target of their superiors' envy, especially in a family-run enterprise that had hired her on a high salary, presumably with ulterior motives.

While clutching her fists in anger, Jade's eyes reddened. "No, Melanie, I can't let this slide. It's not my fault, and I'll clear my name even if they fire me."

Her voice was hoarse, but her anger was palpable.
