“I think she’s just desperate for money. She wants their property, and when they didn’t
agree, she tried to torment them.”

company? Everyone, boycott this unscrupulous

The company’s employees immediately stood in front of me, trying to explain that it wasn’t what they thought, but no one believed them.
Fortunately, an employee called the police, and they quickly arrived and dispersed the crowd.
Just as the police were about to take my adoptive mother away, “Nannan” finally
appeared.
She looked pitiful, wronged, and confused. “Ginger, I’ve always treated you like a sister. I never wanted to take anything from you. I just wanted to help Mom and Dad. Why are you targeting our company? The Jones family is
your family too.”
I rolled my eyes. “Don’t try to act like we’re
related. I don’t have a sister like you. My
relationship with the Jones family was broken
off long ago. Besides, project competition is

normal, right? The most capable party wins. Why would the other party rather cooperate
with my small startup than choose you? Do you think they’re stupid enough to give me money for nothing?”
Nannan suddenly knelt on the ground. “Ginger, you’re still angry at me. I’ve poached all of the company’s key employees and stolen a very important project. The company’s a mess because of you. Please, let the company go. It’s the lifeblood of the Jones family. If you hate
me, if you hate me, you can hit me or yell at
- me. Please, don’t target our company
anymore.”
Then, she grabbed my hand and slapped herself
in the face.
I didn’t dodge. Since she wanted to be hit, I’d
make it happen. I put all my strength into it, and
her face immediately swelled up.

Jackson arrived and pulled Nannan behind him,
his expression tense. “Ginger, you’ve gone too
far! What right do you have to hit Nannan?
You’re so evil!”
I shook my numb hand and sneered at Jackson.
“She asked for it. I just made it happen. Or are
you blind? Go to the hospital if you’re sick.
Don’t be crazy here.”
Jackson looked at me with disappointment.
“Ginger, how did you become so hateful? So
evil, ruthless, and ungrateful? You’ve
disappointed me so much.”
I didn’t care. “Really? I haven’t changed. You
guys have. I’ve always been like this. I always get revenge, and I hold grudges. I’m not a good person, so don’t try to guilt–trip me. Everything I’ve done is legal and compliant. If you can, call the police and arrest me. But your behavior
today is already illegal.”

My company’s lawyer rushed over and stood in
front of me, looking at my adoptive parents,,
Nannan, and Jackson. “You guys are making a
scene in our company, spreading rumors, and
seriously damaging our company’s reputation.”
The police immediately stepped forward and
took the Jones family into the police car.
Before getting in, my adoptive mother was still
shouting, “You can’t do this to me! Ginger,
we’re your parents! How can you send us to the
police station? You have no humanity!”
Nannan looked at me with tearful eyes. “Ginger,
don’t do this! If you want, I can go back to work
at the Jones Corporation. I’ll make you the vice
president of the Jones Corporation, with a
salary of three thousand a month.
I curled my lips and couldn’t help cursing.
“Nannan, you’ve never cared about the Jones
family. You can have it if you want. I’m not

Jackson looked at Nannan’s wronged, tearful eyes, feeling sorry for her, and hugged her, shouting, “Ginger, what are you so proud of? You just stole a small project. The Jones family is going to cooperate with the richest family, the Smiths. It won’t be long before we go
public. Then you’ll be begging us to come back, but we won’t want you!”
I couldn’t help laughing. “I wish you sweet dreams.”
After saying that, I told the security guards to kick them out.
Back in the office, I thought for a long time and called my aunt.
As soon as the phone was answered, I heard
my aunt excitedly say, “Ginger, have you thought about it? Are you going to change your mind and come work at Smith Enterprises?”

I smiled and declined. “Aunt, I want to try again on my own. But I’d like to participate in Smith Enterprises‘ project. But I don’t need you to
open a back door. I want to compete fairly, based on my own abilities.”
My aunt was a little disappointed, but she agreed to my request. “No problem. I believe you can win the project with your own abilities. I won’t tell anyone about your identity. I’ll let the company select and screen the cooperation
plans.”
