The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack

I turned and left the room, leaving my stepmother and stepsister staring at each other in horror. I felt a surge of excitement at my own bravery and determination, but at the same time, a sense of unease crept into my heart. I knew deep down that this battle had only just begun.

I returned to my room, turned on my computer, and began gathering more evidence. I had to find the crucial information that would prove my stepmother and stepsister's guilt before they did. However, just as I was about to make a breakthrough, my door suddenly opened.

"Lin Luoluo," my boss, Mr. Wang, the marketing director, stood at the door with a sinister smile on his face. "It seems you've been very busy lately."

My heart sank, and a sense of foreboding washed over me. "Mr. Wang, why are you here?"

Mr. Wang didn't answer my question. Instead, he walked straight to my computer, glanced at the contents on the screen, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "It seems you already know who's behind this?"

I forced myself to remain calm and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Don't play dumb," Mr. Wang said coldly. "Do you think you can hide what you did from me? You secretly investigated company secrets and tried to use this information against your family. Who do you think you are?"

I immediately understood that Mr. Wang had seen through my counterattack plan. He must have bribed someone in the company to secretly monitor my every move.

"Mr. Wang, please listen to my explanation..."

"No need to explain," Mr. Wang interrupted me. "I've already given you many chances, but you didn't cherish them. Now, you only have one choice: leave the company!"

I suddenly felt despair. I had worked so hard for so long and finally established myself in this company, but now I was going to lose everything because of the frame-up by my stepmother and stepsister.

Just when I was at my wit's end, my cell phone rang. It was Lawrence Lu calling.

"Lolo, where are you? Are you okay?" His voice was full of worry.

I held back my tears and told him what had happened.

“Don’t worry,” Lawrence Lu comforted me, “I will help you solve it.”

There was a noisy sound from the other end of the phone, and it seemed that Lawrence Lu was arguing with someone.

"Who are you talking to?" I asked.

“It’s my family,” Lawrence Lu’s voice was filled with helplessness, “They don’t want me to get involved in this matter.”

"Why?" I was confused.

“Because they think you’re not worthy of me doing this.” Lawrence Lu’s voice was full of bitterness.

My heart sank again. It turned out that in the eyes of Lawrence Lu’s family, I was just an existence not worth mentioning.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm my flustered emotions. "I understand," I said, trying to sound calm. "Don't worry, I'll take care of things."

After hanging up the phone, I felt like all my strength had been drained away, and I slumped in my chair. Mr. Wang's threats, Lu Yuxuan's family's opposition, all of these were like mountains, weighing me down, making it hard to breathe.

"Lolo, don't lose heart!"

A familiar voice sounded in my ears. I looked up and saw my best friend, fashion guru Sophie, standing at the door with an exquisite cake box in her hand.

"Sophie, why are you here?" I asked in surprise.

"I came to see my good sister," Sophie said with a smile. "I know you've been in some trouble recently, so I made your favorite cake specially to cheer you up!"

I looked at Sophie with emotion. Her appearance was like a ray of light, illuminating my dark world.

"And me, and me!"

The housekeeper, Uncle Fu, also came in, holding a document bag in his hand. "Miss, here are some things I found. Take a look at them. They might be useful."

I took the file bag and opened it. Inside were some internal company financial statements and email records. I carefully looked through the documents and suddenly, my eyes lit up. In one of the emails, I found a familiar name - my stepmother!

This email was sent by my stepmother to Mr. Wang. The content of the email was about the bidding proposal for an important project of the company, and this proposal was the one I was previously responsible for!

I immediately understood that my stepmother must have taken advantage of my plan to make huge profits, and also bribed Mr. Wang to deal with me!

I excitedly held the email and said to Sophie and Uncle Fu, "I found the evidence! I found the evidence!"

Sophie and Uncle Fu were also happy for me because they knew that I had finally found an opportunity to prove my innocence.

I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. I knew that I had to be cautious with every step I took, because my opponents were my cunning and vicious stepmother and Mr. Wang.

But I will not be afraid, because I know that justice will eventually defeat evil, and I will eventually win my own victory!

I sprang into action, leveraging Sophie's connections in the fashion world to anonymously expose evidence of collusion between my stepmother and Mr. Wang to the media. This immediately caused an uproar within the company, with shareholders demanding a thorough investigation. Mr. Wang's position was in jeopardy.

However, before I could breathe a sigh of relief, I received a call from Lawrence Lu. His voice sounded tired, with a hint of frustration that was hard to conceal.

"Lolo, I tried my best, but the resistance from my family was too great. They..." He paused, as if trying to organize his words, "They want me to sever ties with you, or they'll freeze all my accounts and kick me out of the family business."

My heart sank suddenly, as if I had fallen into an ice cellar. I knew very well that for a wealthy family like Lawrence Lu, family meant a lot. He had to pay such a huge price for me, which made me feel extremely distressed and guilty.

"Yuxuan, I'm sorry, it's all my fault that you got involved..." My voice choked and tears kept flowing out of my eyes.

“Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about!” Lawrence Lu’s voice was gentle but firm, “Everything I did was voluntary, because I love you! Besides, I won’t give up easily, I will prove to them that you are worthy of me doing this!”

His words were like the warm sunshine in winter, dispelling the haze in my heart and igniting the fire of hope in my heart. I wiped away my tears and told myself that I could no longer be weak. I must fight bravely for myself and for Lu Yuxuan!

Over the next few days, I actively cooperated with the police investigation and used the evidence I had to expose the crimes of my stepmother and Mr. Wang in the media. Lawrence Lu also waged a silent war within the family. With his extraordinary wisdom and skill, he gradually won the support of the family elders and silenced those who opposed him.

In the end, justice triumphed over evil. My stepmother and Mr. Wang's crimes were exposed, and they received the punishment they deserved. I was cleared of my grievances, returned to the company, and, with my outstanding work ethic, was quickly promoted to Marketing Manager.

However, Lawrence Lu and I both know that this is only the first challenge we face together, and there will be more storms waiting for us in the future. But we are ready to work hand in hand to face the challenges together, because we believe that as long as we love each other, no difficulties can stop us from moving forward!

While I was managing company affairs, I was also preparing for my wedding with Lawrence Lu. Everything was in perfect order, and happiness seemed within reach. Lawrence Lu also fulfilled his promise, standing firmly by my side despite the pressure from his family. Together, we overcame all obstacles, and our relationship became even stronger.

However, on the day we tried on our wedding dresses, something unexpected happened.

"Lolo, what do you think of this dress?" Sophie held up a champagne-colored dress and tried it on me, a happy smile on her face.

"It's so beautiful, Sophie, you have such good taste!" I said with a smile, but a hint of imperceptible fatigue flashed in my eyes. I had hardly had a good rest during this period of time preparing for the wedding.

"What's wrong, Lolo? Are you feeling unwell?" Lawrence Lu keenly noticed my abnormality, put down the magazine in his hand and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, maybe I'm too tired lately." I forced a smile, not wanting to make him worry.

"No, you look very bad. I'll take you to the hospital." Lu Yuxuan said, pulling my hand without saying anything, ready to take me away.

"Really, there's no need. I'm just a little tired. I just need to rest for a while." I tried to break free from his hand, but he was surprisingly strong.

“Lolo, be obedient. Let’s go to the hospital for a check-up so we can feel at ease.” Lawrence Lu insisted, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

At this moment, I suddenly felt dizzy, my vision went black, and I lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, I found myself lying on a hospital bed, with Lawrence Lu and Sophie anxiously guarding my bedside.

"Lolo, you finally woke up! You scared me to death!" Sophie saw me wake up and excitedly held my hand with red eyes.

"What's wrong with me?" I struggled to sit up, but felt dizzy.

"Don't move, the doctor said you need to rest well." Lawrence Lu held my shoulders and said gently, his eyes full of worry.

"Doctor? What did the doctor say? What's wrong with me?" I grabbed Lawrence Lu's hand and asked anxiously.

Lawrence Lu’s expression became solemn. He was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: “The doctor said…you are pregnant, but…”

"But what?" My heart sank suddenly and an ominous premonition came over me.

“However, your physical condition is not optimistic. The doctor said... it may be difficult for you to keep this child..." Lawrence Lu's voice became lower and lower, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

My mind went blank, as if a thunder exploded in my ears, shattering all my hopes and happiness.

My child... my child... how could this happen...

I lay back on the bed weakly, tears silently sliding down and soaking the pillowcase.

At this moment, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and a doctor in a white coat walked in with a serious look on his face and a report in his hand.

"Mr. Lu, Ms. Lin, we just received the results of the genetic test..." The doctor paused, looked at me with a complicated look, and said slowly, "The child...is not yours."
