The Arrogant Store Manager Humiliated a Helpless Old Woman, Completely Unaware She Was the Billionaire Owner's Mother!

Two weeks later, the sting of public humiliation still burned hot in Chloe’s veins. Blacklisted from the high-end retail world, she sat in a dimly lit, upscale lounge, swirling an olive in her martini. Across from her sat Victor Thorne, a ruthless rival businessman who had spent the last decade trying to crush the Sterling empire.

Victor leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with malicious intent. "I heard about your spectacular exit from Sterling Luxury, Chloe. Alexander humiliated you. He destroyed your career over a peasant jacket."

"It was his mother," Chloe spat bitterly. "But yes. He took everything from me. And I want to take everything from him."

Victor smirked, sliding a thick manila folder across the mahogany table. "Alexander's upcoming Fall Collection is expected to break global sales records. But what if the world suddenly believed that the 'ethical' Sterling brand was actually sourcing materials from illegal, exploitative sweatshops? We just need someone on the inside to plant the fabricated documents into their main server."

Chloe opened the folder. Inside were forged invoices, fake emails, and offshore bank statements. It was the perfect corporate murder weapon. "I still have my master access codes," she whispered, a wicked smile creeping onto her lips. "They forgot to wipe my administrative privileges on the secondary cloud server."

"Do this, and when Sterling Luxury crashes, I will buy it for pennies on the dollar," Victor promised. "And you, my dear, will be instated as the Global Vice President."
