Chapter 1

I followed Alexis Timmer's finger to see that she was pointing at the trash can. Tossed carelessly into it were the handmade pastries I had brought over last time. Grandma had woken up early in the morning and painstakingly shelled walnuts for hours for me to bake with back then.Now, however, I could see that someone had even spat on them.My mind went blank at the sight.Anthony Scoll walked over and began pushing at my shoulders impatiently to herd me out of his office."Do you have any sense at all? Can't you see that we're in the middle of working on the critical code? And what are you wearing? What if the investor sees you? What would they think then? Hurry up and go home. You'll just humiliate us both if you stay here."I looked Anthony straight in the eyes and said, "Anthony, today's our third wedding anniversary."He paused momentarily before scoffing. "Wedding anniversary? Only people with too much time on their hands like you celebrate those occasions. We're here try

Alexis messaged, "@Everyone, did anyone get a scare from Mrs. Scoll visiting today? Hahaha!"Someone named Watson from the technical department replied, "Alex, you sure are amazing! That photo is practically the best charm to ward off bad luck. I even wrote two less bugs in my code earlier!"Zander from operations sent, "Mrs. Scoll's expression is just too cursed! Can we use it for some merchandise? Maybe put them by the company entrance to attract fortune our way?"Anthony was also in the group. Sending a sticker showing someone with their hands spread in helplessness, he typed, "Hey, that's enough. Don't take it too far. She's still my wife and deserves a certain amount of respect."Alexis teased, "Oooh, getting upset, are we? Then as punishment, you have to treat me to a nice dinner tonight!"Anthony replied, "Alright."Staring at the messages on my screen, I felt as though all the blood in my veins had turned to ice.This was his so-called "respect" and "geek humor"? To stom

At exactly eleven the next morning, a representative for the investor arrived.Anthony and Alexis eagerly welcomed him outside with sycophantic expressions. As the group headed for the company entrance, Alexis, in her bid to show she was the one in charge, overtook everyone else and rushed to open the door.Plastering a fake professional smile on her face, she gazed right into the facial recognition camera."Beep! Identity confirmed."The next second, the shrill squealing of a pig blared through the door security system. Following that, a female voice, tweaked by a voice changer, spoke in an exaggerated manner. "I'm a pick-me girl! I'm a pick-me girl! All my bros are my groom candidates! I'm the most shameless pick-me in the entire company!"With the volume turned up to the max, the words echoed down the empty corridors deafeningly.The smile on Alexis' face stiffened as she froze on the spot.The representative was stunned.Although Anthony was shocked, he quickly recovered

A dead silence hung over the entire office. Everyone's jaw dropped open in shock as they stared at the indecent photo on their screens.Mr. Lindt let out a cold chuckle. "Interesting. Mr. Scoll, it seems that the geek humor in your company is quite… modern."In the end, he stalked off with a dark expression, but not before declaring, "We are definitely not going to invest in a company with such messy, morally corrupt management."After that, Anthony went off the rails, bellowing out orders at everyone to check the surveillance footage and the daily logs. He was determined to find out who the hacker was.Unfortunately for him, he failed to find anything.That night, he returned home as agitated as an enraged lion. Kicking the coffee table cover, he roared, "Kimberly Suther! Was it you? Did you do it!"I was sitting on the couch, idly flipping through a fashion magazine. I didn't even bother looking up at his outburst."What are you talking about? Did something happen at your comp

Instead of signing the divorce agreement, Anthony ripped it to pieces."You want a divorce, huh? Well, you can forget about it!" he shouted. "You think you can kick me out of this marriage with nothing to my name? In your dreams! "For the past three years, I've supported you, paid for your food and living expenses. Now, you're trying to run at the slightest hint of trouble in the company? No way I'm letting you have your way!"His shameless behavior didn't surprise me. I hadn't expected him to sign the divorce papers so easily anyway.Since he had torn up the agreement, I turned and went back to my bedroom, locking it from the inside.The next day, I headed straight to the courthouse to file for divorce.Part of Anthony's startup capital had indeed come from his savings, but most of the cash flow actually came from me secretly investing in his company through various channels.I used an offshore trust fund my mother left for me, routed the money through several shell companies,

For a moment, Anthony was bewildered to see me, but that swiftly turned to rage."Kimberly? What are you doing here? Did you come to watch me make a fool of myself? Get the hell out!"Alexis also joined in, pointing at me as she yelled, "Where's the security? How could they have allowed any random person to enter?"However, I ignored them and instead headed straight to the head of the table in the conference room before taking a seat.Behind me, my lawyer took out a document and tossed it on the table."Mr. Scoll, Ms. Timmer, please mind your attitudes. This woman before you is the ultimate controlling shareholder of Clearwater Capital and also your company's biggest creditor now—Ms. Kimberly Suther."Anthony's expression froze. "C-Clear… What?" The lawyer pushed his glasses further up his nose. "Clearwater Capital. It's the parent company of the three angel investment firms that funded you. In other words, you owe that 15 million dollars to Ms. Suther here."Anthony's jaw dro

Faced with the choice of going to prison or losing his company, Anthony chose the latter and signed the papers.Nonetheless, this didn't mean that he had completely given up. He thought that as long as he remained free and still had the technology, he could always make a comeback. Anything was still possible as long as he wasn't in prison.So he shoved all the blame onto Alexis. He told the police that it was her who instructed him to embezzle the funds, that he had simply been manipulated.Alexis was no pushover either. She provided the police with the chat history and voice recordings between her and Anthony, proving that he was the mastermind.The two wasted no time turning on each other in the police station, thoroughly revealing every little thing the other person had done.In the end, both of them were placed under investigation due to all the evidence they themselves provided on each other.To my surprise, while out on bail pending trial, Anthony actually had the audacity

Chapter 8

Anthony's and Alexis' cases went to trial soon after.Due to the huge sum of embezzled funds, plus the concrete evidence I provided, neither of them escaped punishment.As the mastermind, Anthony was sentenced to five years in prison, while Alexis, being his accomplice, received three years.The day Anthony was transported to prison, I visited him.Through the glass separating us, I could see that they had shaved his head, and when paired with the prison outfit, he looked even sleazier than normal."I'm here to tell you that the investor back then was actually my senior."When Anthony shot me a disbelieving gaze, I calmly went on, "In truth, you guessed right. I really was the one behind everything."Resentment, hatred, and confusion shone in his eyes. "Why? Just because I photoshopped an ugly photo of you and allowed the company employees to make fun of you?""Of course, that's not all."With that, I showed him a phone recording I had taken of some surveillance footage, which

Three years later, I started up a new tech company. Backed by solid technical expertise and ample funding, it quickly became a unicorn in the industry.I was no longer the housewife who hid behind the scenes, but the CEO of my own company, which was the new rising star in the technological circle. I was also the idol of countless young women.One day, as my company was interviewing applicants for new hires, I happened to be walking by the interview room when a commotion broke out inside."Please, I'm begging you. Just give me a chance! I might have a criminal record, but I really am very capable! I'm one of the original developers for the "PeaceMind" intelligent algorithm!"The voice sounded rather familiar, so I opened the door and entered.What greeted me was the sight of a haggard-looking man in a cheap suit down on his knees as he clung to the interviewer's leg.It was Anthony, who had been released from prison early. Due to good behavior, his sentence had been reduced by a y

Chapter 10

Not long after that, I ran into Alexis.After her stint in prison, her reputation was utterly ruined, and she could no longer remain in the industry. I heard that she returned to her old hometown and married a man 20 years older than her, who already had three children.One day, I had to go on a business trip and happened to pass through a small town. It was there, by a roadside stall, that I spotted Alexis.She was wearing an old, yellowed apron while scrubbing dishes. Her hair was a disheveled mess, her face was full of wrinkles, and her hands were rough with calluses. Gone was her "geek goddess" image from years back.A drunk man was cursing at her, "You can't even properly clean the dishes! You waste of space! All that money I spent on marrying you back then might as well have been dumped in the trash!"He ended his tirade with a harsh slap across Alexis' face.She clutched at her throbbing cheek, too scared to talk back. All she could do was cry silently.At that moment, sh
