“Let me ask you. Where’s the fairness? Where’s justice? Don’t you feel any guilt treating someone who’s made huge contributions to this company like this?”
Cody was left speechless. Sadie, however, showed no shame, tilting her chin up at me.
“Fairness?” She sneered. “Phoebe, don’t be so naive. In this world, whoever has the power… that’s where fairness lives.”
“You want justice? Then go find yourself a rich dad to fight for you. Too bad—you don’t have one.”
She didn’t bother hiding the contempt on her face as she said coldly, “But I do. I’m the daughter of Wesley Modine, CEO of CipherLux Innovations. With that identity alone, I can crush you so hard you’ll never get back up!”
I stared at her, genuinely wondering where she got that kind of confidence.
I even started doubting my own uncle for a second; could he really have fathered some secret love child behind the family’s back?
I suddenly asked, “I heard Mr. Modine has a niece he treats like his own daughter. Tell me, Miss Sales-Champion Modine, have you met her?”
Sadie’s face froze for a split second before she shot me a disdainful glance.
