Charlotte Vance's face turned deathly pale.
The surrounding employees panicked.
Both men and women worked in the company.
If those secretly taken photos were leaked...
The consequences would be unimaginable.
Caleb Vance frantically operated the computer.
A vicious grin twisted his face.
But the next second—
His expression froze.
The computer screen went completely black.
No matter how many times he pressed the power button, nothing happened.
"Did you really think you could expose those disgusting photos?"
Sophia Sullivan's voice was ice-cold.
She stepped forward.
Her fingertips danced lightly across the keyboard.
The projector screen lit up.
The computer files were completely empty.
Even the recycle bin had been wiped clean.
"Too bad."
"I've already destroyed all the original files."
Sophia turned to face the crowd.
"But the surveillance footage remains."
"Everyone here is a witness today."
Caleb trembled violently.
His eyes locked onto the screen.
Suddenly, he remembered the day Sophia first joined the company.
She had casually reinforced the company's firewall.
This woman was an elite hacker!
"You planned this all along!"
Caleb roared, losing control.
"Sophia Sullivan, you set me up!"
The wail of police sirens grew louder.
Officers quickly secured the scene.
Caleb and his accomplices were taken away one by one.
The truth behind the laboratory theft was finally revealed.
The employees snapped out of their daze.
Charlotte was the first to speak, her voice choked with tears.
"Thank you, Ms. Sullivan..."
"If those photos had gotten out..."
She couldn't finish, her words dissolving into sobs.
With one decisive move, Sophia had not only protected Charlotte's dignity—
But also safeguarded the honor of every female employee.
Others stepped forward, voices overlapping.
"Thank goodness Ms. Sullivan exposed those scumbags!"
"Caleb got exactly what he deserved!"
"We actually doubted Ms. Sullivan before..."
"We're so sorry!"
Gratitude poured from every direction.
Sophia scanned the room.
Her gaze was razor-sharp.
"I believe in clear terms and fair prices."
"Workplace bullying? Petty office politics?"
"That doesn't fly with me."
A faint smile curved her lips.
Yet it sent chills down everyone's spine.
"Anyone who wants to follow in Caleb's footsteps—"
"Feel free to try."
"Getting fired is just the beginning."
"Legal consequences will follow."
Those who had been scheming moments ago—
Fell into terrified silence.
Sophia began issuing orders.
"Charlotte is promoted to team leader."
"Everyone else, form groups of five."
"Priority goes to repairing the laboratory."
"Perfume production must not stop."
Charlotte stood frozen in place.
Tears streamed down her face unchecked.
"Thank you for your trust, Ms. Sullivan!"
Ethan Sullivan stood in the corner.
His gaze never left Sophia.
Her crisis management skills—
Were astonishingly efficient.
In just half a day—
She had earned the entire team's unwavering respect.
This woman—
Always managed to surprise him.
Like the brightest star in the night sky—
Impossible to look away from.
