When Samuel heard Kaylee's words, his brow furrowed imperceptibly, and he shot me an accusatory look.

My gaze drifted past him toward those who were fawning over the powerful while cursing Kaylee and me with the most venomous words.

I looked at each one deliberately, calling them out by name.

"The Zimmerman family in the aluminum alloy business, the Muller family in the cement industry, and the Sacha family with their soy processing business..."

As I calmly and clearly identified each one, these parents were stunned into silence, because I had named them all correctly.

Luminous Enterprise's influence stretched across numerous industries, and all of these people depended on the company's goodwill to make their living.

I announced firmly, "Starting today, Luminous Enterprise will terminate all cooperation with you."

They were surprised at first, then burst into laughter while crowding around Samuel.

"Look at this woman! She has gone completely mad! First, she claimed to be Mr. Crawford's real wife, and now she is even more ridiculous pretending to represent Luminous Enterprise and canceling our contracts!"

"Who the hell do you think you are? Samuel has not even spoken yet, and you are making decisions? Does anyone have the number for a psychiatric hospital? She needs to be committed!"

Samuel's eyes grew darker, and his face was tense. He stepped forward and said to me in a low voice, "Claire, I've secured my position at Luminous Enterprise. Do you really think you can cause any waves?

"You don't have full control anymore. Go back home now!"

I gave him a meaningful look without answering. Instead, I turned to those who were mocking me, as well as Monica.

"You've all been mistaken about one thing. Samuel may be the general manager of Luminous Enterprise, but I am the one who makes the decisions!"

Monica was surprised at first, then she collapsed into Samuel's arms laughing until tears came to her eyes. "She really has lost her mind.

"I've worked at Luminous Enterprise for so long, and I only know my husband as the general manager! As for this lunatic, I have never even seen her before. She probably doesn't even know which way the company's front door opens!"

I smiled silently. My people would arrive at any moment now.

With Monica's position, she would never have access beyond the 10th floor of the corporate building. How could she possibly have seen me when my office was on the 35th floor?

Everyone joined in the laughter, except for Samuel. The look in his eyes could only be described as venomous.

I knew why. He was afraid.

Just then, Kaylee's phone rang. When she answered it, she suddenly let out a piercing scream as if she had received a terrible shock!

The phone was on the speaker. "So young and already trying to seduce men with those pitiful eyes. When the mother fails, the daughter steps up. How absolutely disgusting..."

I quickly hung up, only to discover that someone had posted today's events online.

Especially the moment when Kaylee looked toward Samuel—it had been maliciously misinterpreted. Someone had even published Kaylee's phone number and school!

My gaze swept toward Monica. She was looking at me with a provocative smile, her lips silently forming the words, "My gift for you. Do you like it?"

Kaylee had begun trembling uncontrollably as relentless abuse flooded the internet, with one cyberbullying call after another coming through.

The parents who were eager to impress Samuel surrounded us, spewing harsh insults and vicious curses.

"See? The public sees right through you. You mother and daughter belong in the gutter!"

"How dare you impersonate Luminous Enterprise executives! Prepare to be sued into bankruptcy! Luminous Enterprise's legal department is notoriously ruthless—you will have nowhere to cry because you will not even have a house left!"

Someone sneered with exaggerated expressions. "That's easy enough to solve. These two are so shameless, they will probably just crawl into some man's bed. Then they will have somewhere to cry!"

Just then, two high-end black business vehicles roared into view. Someone with sharp eyes could not help but shout, “That's Luminous Enterprise's logo! The executives are here!"

The sycophants looked even more smug, closing in on Kaylee and me step by step. Their mouths opened and closed like venomous snakes with gaping jaws.

"You two are completely finished now. Mr. Crawford is truly formidable, and his warnings were not just talk. He is taking real action! You will be sued for every last penny that you will not even have the shirt off your back!"

Others raised their phones, their eyes gleaming predatorily as they looked at us.

"Internet friends, we have an update on the trending mother-daughter duo who tried to seduce a corporate magnate! Follow quickly, I am livestreaming! Watch as the powerful tycoon tears these gold-diggers apart!"

Monica gazed at Samuel affectionately, her face full of delight.

When she looked back at me, the arrogance and smugness on her face were completely undisguised, while Milo beside her stood with his nose in the air.
