Was he really trying to take me for a fool?
I pretended to be surprised and cautiously asked, “Aren’t you and Jessica together?
“Why are you suddenly helping me now?”
He looked at me with disdain.
“Can’t you tell? I was with her for her money.
“Now that she’s broke, why would I bother with an old woman like her?”
I thought, “Old woman?”
He actually dared to say that about Jessica?
It seemed like their relationship was nothing.
“What if I don’t agree?”
His face immediately darkened.
“Then don’t blame me,
“We’ll both be finished.”
I thought, “Finished?”
Hearing that, I couldn’t help but laugh.
Logan furrowed his brows.
“Why are you laughing when you’re at the end?”
I didn’t explain anything. I just took out my phone and sent a message.
The next moment, the sound of police sirens grew louder and closer.
Before Logan had a chance to react, several police cars arrived, surrounding him.
A group of officers got out of the cars and quickly restrained Logan.
Logan, you’re suspected of extortion. Come with us.”
Chapter 10
Logan’s face went pale like he’d been painted with cheap white paint
He stammered, and his eyes darted around, looking like a trassed animal searching for a way out.

“When… when did you call the police?”
Seeing him panic, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“The company has surveillance.
“You’ve been lurking around outside my office all day. It would’ve been hard not to notice you.
“And you just walked right into my trap.”
His face twitched, and he angrily shouted, “You’re talking nonsense! You don’t have any proof!”
I pulled out my phone and slid my fingers across the screen, revealing the recording interface.
The bright red recording time on the screen was like a sharp knife, cutting through his last bit of pretense.
“I’ve been recording you from the start.
“These recordings are enough to prove my innocence and your extortion.”
Logan’s face turned from red to pale. His lips trembled, but he couldn’t say a word.
He slumped to the ground like a deflated balloon, his eyes hollow, filled with despair.
After the police backed up the evidence from Logan’s phone, they handed everything over to me.
When I got the evidence, I let out a long sigh of relief.
It felt like the clouds had cleared, and I could finally wash away the injustice and start anew.
I immediately contacted the PR department, released all the evidence, and cleared up the truth.
The public opinion online shifted instantly, now attacking Jessica and Logan.
I also instructed my lawyer to file a lawsuit against Jessica for defamation.
What surprised me was, a few days later, Jessica showed up at my office door, disheveled and looking like a mess.
She was crying so hard her makeup was ruined, and she looked like a circus clown.
“Please, cancel the lawsuit.
“I’ve lost my job and can’t afford to pay.
“I’ll do anything for you, I truly know I was wrong”
I looked at her pitiful appearance but felt no sympathy, only disgust.
“You didn’t realize your mistake. You realized you were about to die, I said coldly, with no emotion.
She tried to say something more, but I ignored her, pushing her aside as I walked out.
Later, thanks to the solid evidence, I won the lawsuit.
Not only did Jessica have to pay a huge sum in damages, but she was also sentenced to three years for slander and disrupting public order.
As for Logan, his conviction for extortion kept him behind bars for over a decade.
As for me, I focused on leading the company through the challenges, and we eventually became an industry leader, reaching the peak of my
career.
All the shadows of the past were gone.
What awaited me was an even brighter future.
