He Exposed Me for Laughs, I Cut Funding - Chapter 8

Chapter 8 Anthony's and Alexis' cases went to trial soon after. Due to the huge sum of embezzled funds, plus the concrete evidence | provided, neither of them escaped punishment. As the mastermind, Anthony was sentenced to five years in prison, while Alexis, being his accomplice, received three years. The day Anthony was transported to prison, | visited him. Through the glass separating us, | could see that they had shaved his head, and when paired with the prison outfit, he looked even sleazier than normal.

"I'm here to tell you that the investor back then was actually my senior." When Anthony shot me a disbelieving gaze, | calmly went on, "In truth, you guessed right. | really was the one behind everything." Resentment, hatred, and confusion shone in his eyes. "Why? Just because | photoshopped an ugly photo of Jen and allowed the company employees to make e fun of you?" "Of course, that's not all." With that, | showed him a phone recording | had taken of some surveillance footage, which | had found after connecting to the company intranet.

The footage showed the CEO's office, where Alexis was sitting in Anthony's chair while holding a document. Anthony stood beside her, his entire demeanor noticeably subservient. "Alex, the investment from Barden Capital is crucial for us. As long as we win over the mysterious owner, we'll attain financial freedom." Tossing the document on the table, Alexis rubbed the tip of her foot against Anthony's calf. "Tony, once you have the money, when are you going to ditch that sallow-faced bitch? | refuse to be your' best bro' forever." Anthony seized her ankle, a sleazy smile curling his lips.

"Don't worry. The moment the money's in my account, I'm divorcing her and forcing her to leave eae without anything to her name. She's so stupid that she didn't even ask for a prenup. By then, the company will belong to me, the money will be mine, and so will you." Alexis giggled. "Then, the credit for that core algorithm she developed..." "Shh!" Anthony gestured for her to be quiet. "That's a secret. As long as | don't reveal it, who would know that she's the one who wrote it? | bet she doesn't even remember a lick of coding now." "Alright.

By the way, should we remove that floor mat with the ugly photo? It wouldn't be good if the investor saw it, right?" However, Anthony waved his hand dismissively. " Just leave it. That mysterious investor is rumored to be rather old-fashioned and hates seeing women in positions of power. Who knows? Maybe he'll think that we're very professional if he sees that we're so disdainful of our families. "Besides, seeing everyone stomp on that photo is just so satisfying. Every day, | have to go home and look at that deadpan face.
