Chapter 10
Zoey stared at the Mercedes-Benz that slowly drove off. In a fit of jealousy, she returned to the
company and cooked up wild stories for her colleagues.
“Do any of you know why Corinne could leave so happily? Turns out, she’s a sugar baby to a rich old
man! She doesn’t need to care whether or not she has a job!”
‘Sugar baby?’ The employees were intrigued by the gossip, and they all surrounded Zoey to find out
what was going on.
Zoey described the situation with a generous amount of exaggeration. “Out of the kindness of my heart,
I decided to head down and return some of the stuff that Corinne left behind. You won’t believe what I
saw. She was sitting on thep of some fat old man inside this luxurious car! I don’t think I need to
exin what she was doing, right?”
“An old man, you say? How old is old?”
“Over sixty, I guess.”
“Whoa, there. Isn’t that old enough to be her grandfather? I didn’t expect Corinne to be such a
degenerate!”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk! Just goes to show you can’t judge a book by its cover.”
Unable to tolerate those remarks anymore, Joanna stood up and retorted loudly, “Enough with your
nonsense, Zoey. Corinne isn’t that kind of woman!”
Zoey sneered. “Me? Talking nonsense? I saw it with my own eyes! If you don’t believe me, you can
take a look at thepany’s surveince footage and see for yourself if Corinne got into a Mercedes-
Benz just outside the main entrance!”
Joanna pursed her lips angrily, knowing that she did not have the authority to check thepany’s
surveince footage.
Zoey was clearly being a bully. She was the one who chased Corinne away, and she dared to
badmouth her in thepany. It was utterly despicable!
Unable to fight against Zoey, Joanna sat down and continued her work, all while she tried to keep her
emotions in check. Within seconds of going on herputer, however, she realized that something
was different.
“Hmm? What’s this? Why is there an extra folder on myputer desktop?”
Another colleague of hers added, “I have an extra folder on myputer. too. What is this?”
“That’s weird. I have that folder, too! I’m clicking in to see what it is…”
The entire office fell silent after everyone opened the folder and saw the contents. Secondster, looks
of disgust, contempt, and derision were directed in Zoey’s direction.
Zoey was displeased to be stared at by her colleagues. “Why are all of you looking at me like that?”
Joanna stood up again with much more conviction than before. She said aloud, “The one ying
computer games at work was you all along. You’re the reason why the entirepany’sputers
were hacked, too!”
Zoey was taken by surprise by the usation and retorted guiltily, “Stop making all that up, Joanna!
You have no evidence whatsoever! Mind your words, or I’ll sue you for defamation!”
All the evidence that Joanna had in hand led her confidence to increase. “Making it up, you say?
Wasn’t it you who met someone online and pretended that you liked him just so you’d get some item
from a game? You blocked him as soon as you got what you wanted, didn’t you? Turns out, he was a
professional hacker, and he not only hacked into yourputer but thepany’s system too!
“And what did you do? You med everything on Corinne! Even the presentation that went wrong in
today’s meeting was your doing. You tampered with it while I wasn’t paying attention; all the evidence is
inside the folder.
“The hacker gathered every single one of your misdeeds,piled them into a folder, and distributed
copies to every single employee!”
Zoey began to feel guilty when her colleagues shot her with all those strange looks.
She rushed back to her workstation to check if it was true, and sure enough, the extra folder on the
computer desktop contained screenshots of her chat history with the online friend, as well as
screenshots of the surveince video of when she secretly manipted the presentation.
‘How could this have happened?!’ Zoey shrieked internally.
Alfred came out of the office with a stern and sullen expression, He shouted angrily, “Which one of you
is Zoey? Thepany doesn’t need a troublemaker like you. Pack your bags and leave!”
Zoey’s face turned pale as she wondered if Alfred also had the same folder in hisputer.
When Richard heard Alfred’s roar, he hurried out of the office with a very disturbed expression on his
face.

Zoey saw him rush out and immediately ran over to ask for help. “Uncle, help me, please! I…”
Richard shot Zoey a vicious re and pushed her away before walking off. He wanted nothing to do
with a rtive who had proven to be such a grand failure.
In the end, Zoey’s sry was deductedpletely, and she was fired on the spot. She left the
company in the most shameful way possible.
Karma truly was a b*tch.
Joanna could not have been happier, and she immediately took out her cell phone and sent a message
informing Corinne of the good news.
…
At that moment, the luxury Mercedes-Benz MPV drove slowly on the road, and Corinne sat at the far
end of the rear seat while holding her belongings. Beside her was Jeremy, the man she had just
wedded, but ever since she got in the car, Jeremy did not once raise his head or look at her. All he did
was stare at his phone with an indifferent expression.
When her phone beeped twice, Corinne put to one side the box that she was holding and picked up the
phone to look at the message. It was a message from Joanna, detailing how Zoey had been fired while
Richard was severely reprimanded by Alfred.
Corinne’s lips curled up in a smirk. The oue did not surprise her in the least.
After the hacker told her the reason why he hacked Alpha Enterprises’ system, she only gave the
hacker one suggestion: take revenge against the person in question and avoid doing anything that
would implicate innocent people.
Zoey’s malicious intentions and misbehavior had to be punished.
Corinne unconsciously crossed her legs after replying to Joanna’s message, and her actions led her
fair thighs to ovep one over the other. Since she was only wearing a men’s T-shirt, the hem moved
up a little while she sat, and the sunlight that came in through the car window made her porcin-white
skin glow a little, almost like it was sparkling in snow.
The man’s handsome eyebrows cocked up slightly as if blinded by the white light.
He nced at her fair-skinned, slender legs next door, and realized that they were almost as thick as
his forearm. Meaning, they were too thin.
“Is this how young girls like you attract a man’s attention?”
Corinne looked at Jeremy suspiciously. “Huh? But I’m not even doing anything, mister.”
Jeremy put away his phone and stared at her. “Then what are you wearing?”
Corinne lowered her head to look and came to a realization. “Oh, this? It’s yours. The clothes that the
maid gave me this morning ended up getting dirty, and since I couldn’t wear them, my only choice was
to wear your shirt.”
The man rested his forehead on one hand, and the frown on his face suggested he was displeased by
what he heard. “Did I give you permission to?”
Corinne rolled her eyes and muttered to herself in disdain. “Why do I have to call him and ask for his
permission? It’s just a shirt. Are all old men so petty?”
Besides, she did not have his phone number either, so she could not get his permission even if she
wanted to.
Jeremy’s veins were bulging from his forehead. “What did you just say?”
Corinne smiled sheepishly. “I said… Do old men like you enjoy it when your new wife makes the
headlines for running around naked the day after the wedding?”
Jeremy was speechless. ‘Old man? Am I that old?’ He narrowed his brooding eyes slightly and said,
“And if I say I don’t care?”
Corinne gritted her teeth. “Then I’ll take it off right now, give it back to you, and start running around in
my birthday suit!”
The corner of Jeremy’s lips twitched teasingly. “Sure. Take it off.”
If a god of luck existed, then Corinne felt that she had probably done something serious to offend him.
That seemed to be the only exnation for why a weird old man like Jeremy woulde into her life!
After a brief silence, Corinne said, “Fine. I’ll take it off if you want!”
