Alle Kapitel von The Invisible Employer: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

"What? That's impossible! I was working overtime at the office yesterday, finishing project reports. My department manager, Mr. Leonard, was even pushing me for a progress update in our work chat before I left home this morning!"The two police officers exchanged worried looks."Mr. Clarke, we need you to come with us to the police station for questioning."I panicked, but I had no way to argue, so I got into the police car.As soon as I sat down at the station, I quickly said, "Sir, I'm telling the truth. I can prove I'm innocent right now!"I hurriedly pulled a folder out of my work bag. Inside were my job offer letter, employment contract, pay stubs from the past six months, and my Social Security contribution records."This is my offer letter. It clearly says I started working six months ago, and it's verified by the company. Here's my employment contract. We each kept a signed copy. My pay stubs and Social Security records prove the company has been paying my salary and making my

At the time, I thought the company was just giving its employees special treatment. But now, the more I thought about it, the less it made sense."Wait! We also had medical checkups!"I quickly added, trying one more time to prove I was telling the truth, "Our company had amazing benefits. Every month, they scheduled a medical checkup for us. "Sometimes it was even a full-body exam, and the company paid for everything. During my last checkup, they found I had mild fatty liver disease. Mr. Leonard even talked to me about it. He told me to eat healthier, stop ordering takeout all the time, and even recommended a few healthy meal plans..."As I spoke, I suddenly froze.What kind of company would be that generous?Monthly medical exams were already expensive. Full-body exams every so often would cost even more.And Gavin's concern for me had gone far beyond what a manager normally showed an employee. He had cared about every little detail.The officer's expression turned even more serious

I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.I quickly unlocked my phone and sent my location to Mark Castro, the detective who had been handling my case, telling him that Gavin was standing outside my front door.Only after the message was successfully sent did I slowly unlock the door.Gavin looked exactly as he always did. He wore a neatly pressed dress shirt, and his hair was perfectly combed.He was carrying a shopping bag, and his expression was as warm and caring as ever."Jason, I heard you haven't been feeling well, so I brought you some health supplements."He stepped inside and glanced around the living room. It looked as though he was searching for something, or maybe it was just a casual look.I closed the door behind him. By then, my back was soaked with cold sweat. Even so, I forced myself to stay calm."Mr. Leonard, what brings you here? You didn't have to bring all this for me.""I noticed you've been taking a long time to reply to my messages these past few da

Mark sighed helplessly. "We also contacted Synapse Future. They confirmed that the files you worked on were compiled from publicly available industry data. They weren't confidential company information, so they didn't cause any real damage."Over the next several hours, I gave the police a detailed statement. I told them everything I could remember about my time with Victor.Now and then, I caught sight of him through the window.He sat quietly in the interrogation room. He even looked a little bored.The police questioned Victor several more times. They verified every detail of his story and even contacted his family.His father rushed to the police station with a dark expression and scolded him in front of everyone. However, Victor didn't seem to care at all.In the end, the police confirmed that everything Victor had said was true.He really had no criminal motive. He had created the entire ridiculous scheme simply because he was bored.From a legal standpoint, although Victor had d

"Sir, what exactly is going on? Why is Victor here?" I couldn't hold back any longer and asked.Mark sighed and handed me a file."Take a look at this first. These are the detailed statements from Juniper and the administrative specialist, along with the evidence we've collected."I took the file and quickly flipped through the pages.The statements described the way the Synapse Future fraud organization operated. Most of it matched what had been reported in the news. However, they mentioned one important person who was connected to Timothy. That person was Timothy's childhood friend, Victor.The moment I saw his name, I looked at Victor in disbelief.Mark nodded."That's right. Victor really is Timothy's childhood friend. According to Juniper's statement, Victor learned about Timothy's fraud plan six months ago. At the time, Timothy asked him to invest, telling him it was a guaranteed money-making opportunity. Victor didn't know it was a scam at first. By the time he discovered the tr
