The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack

I rushed all the way to Lawrence Lu's company, my heart pounding. Had I really been discovered? As soon as I entered the office, I saw him sitting there with a serious face, holding a tablet in his hand. The screen displayed some photos and documents, which looked shocking. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. "Yuxuan, what happened?"

He looked up and saw my anxious look, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing." He handed me the tablet and said, "Look for yourself."

I took the tablet and saw photos of my stepmother and stepsister in various social situations. But the content of the photos shocked me. They spoke hypocritically to others, gossiping behind my back. There were even photos documenting how they used various means to suppress their competitors, even resorting to slanderous rumors.

“Is this all true?” I asked in disbelief.

“Of course,” Lawrence Lu said firmly, “These are just some of the evidence we have collected, which is enough to reveal their true colors.”

I felt relieved, but at the same time, I was a little worried. "But, if we do this, will..."

"I know what you're worried about," Lawrence Lu interrupted me. "Don't worry, I've made all the necessary preparations. They won't be able to escape." He paused, a cold glint in his eyes. "Not only them, but also those companies that engage in unfair competition. We won't let any of them go."

I looked at this man in front of me, my heart filled with gratitude and admiration. He was like a mountain, protecting me from the wind and rain, and making me no longer afraid.

“Next, let’s enjoy this good show.” Lawrence Lu curled his lips into a sneer, picked up his phone and dialed a number, “It’s time to start.”

That evening, all major social media platforms and news websites were flooded with explosive news. The ugly faces of the stepmother and stepsister were exposed to the public, causing an uproar in their social circles, and those who once flattered them were shunned.

At the same time, several companies that colluded with the stepmother and stepsister were also exposed to engage in unfair competition. Their stock prices plummeted, the company's reputation plummeted, and the once glorious entrepreneurs became rats crossing the street, and everyone wanted to kill them.

I watched the news feed flashing on my phone, feeling a mixture of emotions. My once-powerful stepmother and stepsister were now the target of public criticism, their photos, captioned with mocking captions, going viral. On social media, their "friends" deleted any photos of them, fearing they would be implicated.

"You deserve it!" I couldn't help but say it out loud, and the depression in my heart finally dissipated a little.

Lawrence Lu came over and gently put his arm around my shoulders, “Are you relieved?”

I nodded, but I was a little worried. "But, will they stop?"

“No,” Lawrence Lu said firmly, “but they no longer have the ability to stir up trouble.”

He was right. The stocks of my stepmother and stepsister's company had plummeted, and the social circles they had painstakingly cultivated had completely collapsed. Those who once flattered them now avoided them, fearing that they would be tainted by bad luck.

At this moment, Lawrence Lu’s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and sneered, “Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will appear.”

An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mr. Lu, please, have mercy! We were confused for a moment and made a mistake. Please, for the sake of our many years of cooperation, let us go this time!"

I recognized the voice as that of the competitor who had previously worked with my stepsister to suppress our company. His tone was filled with fear and despair.

“Let you go?” Lawrence Lu’s voice was cold and ruthless. “When you teamed up with others to deal with my woman, why didn’t you think that this day would come?”

"We know we were wrong. We are willing to compensate you for your losses. We only ask that you give us a way to live!" the other party begged bitterly.

Lawrence Lu didn't say anything, just looked at me coldly, as if asking for my opinion. I took a deep breath, walked forward, and took the phone. "If you want us to stop, it's not impossible..."

"If you want us to stop, that's not impossible..." I paused, my tone icy, "Publicly apologize, admit all your crimes, and compensate our company for all losses."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, clearly frightened by my offer. They had originally thought that simply by begging for mercy humbly and compensating for the losses, they could quell the situation. Unexpectedly, Lawrence Lu and I had no intention of letting them off easily.

"Why, you don't want to?" I sneered, "Then just wait to be eliminated by the market."

"No! Don't hang up!" the other party said hurriedly, "I agree, I agree to your terms!"

I raised the corners of my mouth and revealed a cold smile, "Remember what you said today, I hope you can do what you said."

After hanging up the phone, I looked at Lawrence Lu, and the admiration in his eyes warmed my heart.

"You did a great job." He ruffled my hair gently. "I'll make them pay you back double what they owe you."

A few days later, accompanied by a lawyer, the stepmother and stepsister came to Lawrence Lu’s company. They looked much more haggard, and their former arrogance and arrogance had disappeared, replaced by deep fear and regret.

"Lolo, Yuxuan, we were wrong..." The stepmother lowered her head, her voice trembling, "We shouldn't have been so obsessed as to do things that hurt you. Please, for the sake of our family, forgive us this time!"

The stepsister also cried and said, "Lolo, I know I treated you badly before, but we are sisters after all! Please forgive me this time, and I promise I will never do it again!"

Watching their hypocritical performance, I felt no wavering. How had they treated me before? They'd treated me like a servant, taken my room, seized my belongings, and even colluded with outsiders to frame me. Now, they were begging for my forgiveness?

"Forgive?" I sneered. "Do you think a simple 'I'm sorry' can make up for the hurt I've suffered?"

"We..." The stepmother and stepsister were speechless. They knew that the mistakes they made could not be made up for with just an apology.

Lawrence Lu held my hand and gave me a reassuring look. Then he turned to them and said in a cold tone, "An apology must be sincere. What's the point of just saying a few empty words? You will have to pay the price for what you did before."

The stepmother and stepsister turned even paler. They knew that Lawrence Lu was true to his word, and this time, they might really have to pay a heavy price. In the end, they signed an agreement, not only publicly apologizing and admitting all their crimes, but also compensating the company for huge losses.

The storm finally subsided, and my company returned to normal. The publicity surrounding this incident even brought even more support and attention. However, I didn't feel relieved; instead, I felt even more exhausted. I realized that the business world is like a battlefield; a single misstep can lead to irreparable consequences.

"What's wrong? Are you still thinking about those unhappy things?" Lawrence Lu's gentle voice brought me back to reality.

I shook my head, leaned on his shoulder, and whispered, "I just feel that people's hearts are too complicated. Sometimes, you just can't tell who is sincere and who is fake."

"Don't think too much, you still have me." Lawrence Lu held me in his arms, "I will always be by your side, protecting you and preventing you from any harm."

I raised my head and looked into Lawrence Lu’s deep eyes, and a warm current surged in my heart. Yes, no matter how difficult the future is, as long as he is with me, I am not afraid of anything.

However, fate always seems to like playing tricks on me. Just when I thought everything was settled, an unexpected person appeared in front of me and brought me shocking news...
