The new intern always claimed to have the company’s best interests at heart, but her actions told a different story. To cut costs, she secretly swapped the two-thousand-dollar gift basket I had prepared for a client with a knockoff version she bought online for just two dollars, shipping included. During a critical overtime session, she turned off the power to save on electricity. Then, she boldly suggested canceling the company’s annual holiday leave. With a self-righteous expression, she declared, “The company doesn’t support freeloaders. I believe the holiday season is the perfect time to boost sales. I propose everyone work unpaid overtime and dedicate themselves selflessly to the company!” While the employees grumbled in frustration, I stepped up to refute her absurd suggestion and spoke out on behalf of the team. But instead of backing down, she accused me of embezzlement in front of everyone and recommended to the boss that I be fired. The shocking part? The boss agreed. Fine. If that was how they wanted it, I couldn’t wait to see how the company would function without me.

The Downfall of the Devious Intern Chapter 7
I sat in my office, sipping coffee as I read through the day’s financial news."Noxin Technologies' entire core tech team resigned, investors pulled out, and several game operations hit major issues. Partners began canceling contracts, and now Noxin is facing huge compensation claims."I couldn’t help but smirk. The news didn’t surprise me.Daniel’s arrogance and authoritarian style had long caused discontent among his team. If I hadn’t been meditating for him all this time, the employees would have left long ago. The company wouldn’t have lasted this long. As for the investors, they had only backed him because of me. Now that I was gone, it was no surprise they weren’t giving Daniel the time of day. And the partners? I had personally maintained each one of those relationships. Daniel had no idea how much effort I had put into keeping things together. After thinking for a moment, I dialed a number. "Melvin, would you be interested in becoming the head of R&D at Starlight Techno

With five years of experience under my belt, managing Starlight Technologies felt like second nature. I was busy every day, but the breakup wasn’t as painful as I’d imagined. Everything seemed to be moving in the right direction. From time to time, Mary would vent to me. “Yuna, you have no idea, but Mandy is truly a piece of work!” I blinked in surprise. Honestly, if she hadn’t brought it up, I’d almost forgotten about that woman. “Yuna, after you left, Mandy started causing all kinds of trouble! She even suggested the boss cut everyone’s salaries. Of course, we all objected, and she had the nerve to ask, ‘Isn’t work supposed to be about more than just money?' “Seriously? Of course, I work for money! Then she started lecturing everyone, saying work is for the ideal, not the paycheck. It’s ridiculous!” I couldn’t help but laugh. She really thought of herself as the boss’ wife, trying to save Daniel money wherever she could. Mary continued, “Yuna, there’s more. A few days a

“I heard you’re unemployed and single now?” A lazy, teasing voice came through the phone. I sighed. “Sis, your intel is almost scarily accurate.” “Move back home. I’ll come pick you up,” she said in a tone that left no room for argument. I agreed without hesitation. Half an hour later, I was sitting in the passenger seat of her sleek black Mercedes G-Wagon. I prepared myself for her usual teasing, but instead, she reached over, gently ran her fingers through my hair, and stayed silent.“Sis…” My voice broke, tears threatening to fall. “What’s there to cry about? Stop being so pathetic. He’s just some trashy guy!” She shot me a sharp glare, full of disdain. I blinked, caught off guard, and then finally let out a laugh through my tears. This was the sister I knew. That moment of gentleness earlier? Definitely not her style. My sister, June Jones, was the fierce and legendary CEO of Asterion Group—a powerhouse in the business world and a regular on the Forbes list.An

The documents detailed every bag I’d carried, every outfit I’d worn, even every pair of earrings I’d put on. Mandy had even put together a side-by-side comparison, with one column detailing my wardrobe and accessories and the other, hers.Next to each item, she’d added price tags for dramatic effect: Yuna Jones: Hermes bag, $3,000; Cartier bracelet, $800; Bulgari necklace, $1,200; Chanel coat, $2,000...Mandy Watson: Canvas bag, $2; shirt, $7; shoes, $8; no jewelry, no makeup…I pointed at the papers and asked, “What’s this supposed to mean? Are you trying to show how extravagant I am compared to how frugal you are? Hoping to climb the ladder, are you?” Caught off guard by my bluntness, Mandy’s eyes flickered with panic, though she quickly masked it with a forced calmness. “Miss Jones, that’s not what I meant! I just happened to glance at the company’s financial report. Our quarterly net profit is barely over two hundred thousand dollars, but your wardrobe alone costs more than

To ensure everyone could enjoy their holiday break, the entire team was working overtime to meet the deadline. Just as we were about to finish, the power suddenly went out. “What’s going on?” “What happened? My proposal! I didn’t save it!” “Quick, check the circuit breaker!” The office descended into chaos. Then Mandy strolled in, calm as ever, looking down at us with an air of superiority. “Do you think the company’s electricity is free? Stop trying to take advantage of company resources! If your work isn’t finished, that’s on you for being inefficient. Why don’t you all just work from home? “As long as you’re using company electricity, I have every right to cut the power. Hmph, someone needs to fix your bad habits! Air conditioning, computers, even charging your phones—do you have any idea how expensive commercial electricity is?” I had enough. Slamming my hand on the desk, I stood up and pointed a finger at her, my voice boiling with anger. “Mandy Watson, are you ou

Noxin Technologies was a company Daniel and I had founded together. I had stood by him from the very beginning, when it was just a small studio with only a handful of people, helping it grow step by step into the rising tech giant it was today. Mandy, on the other hand, was the newest intern at the company. Frankly, her resume shouldn’t have made the cut, but she managed to corner Daniel in the elevator, stumbling and nearly falling over herself, before launching into a tearful, impassioned speech. The gist of it was how hard her life had been—growing up in a rural town, supporting her aging parents, and caring for her younger brother. “Mr. Hart, I desperately need this opportunity,” she pleaded, bowing deeply at a perfect 90-degree angle, tears splashing onto the floor like shattered glass. The whole scene was, to be honest, awkward. I didn’t expect Daniel to actually fall for it, but he did. Right there and then, he made an exception and hired Mandy on the spot as his sec

"Miss Jones, if your company can’t afford proper gifts, then don’t bother sending them! You’ve humiliated me, and I’m canceling our partnership!"The furious voice on the other end of the line left me momentarily stunned. I didn’t understand what was going on, but I kept a polite tone, trying to appease him. “Please, Mr. Lowe, was there an issue with the gift? My sincerest apologies. This must have been a mistake from someone on my team. Don’t hold it against me. Let me prepare two sets of gifts for you. We’ve worked together for so many years…” He interrupted me angrily. His voice rose sharply, cutting me off. "Miss Jones, you specifically promised me an authentic premium Darjeeling tea. I presented it to the investors, only for them to call it a cheap counterfeit on the spot! The deal fell through! Tell me, how am I supposed to salvage my reputation? And who’s going to cover my losses?"All I could do was repeatedly apologize and promise a higher discount margin on future deals
