Hector sneered, "This could be considered intentional injury. If it weren't for Esther's kindness, you would have been in jail long ago."
In an instant, my former colleagues turned against me.
Just as they had in my previous life, pressuring me to admit to false charges and endure it quietly.
But this time, I wouldn't be at their mercy.
I said firmly, "In that case, I'll see you in court. I'm confident the law will deliver a fair judgment, and I don't mind making this public."
Having faced life and death before, I had nothing to fear.
I called the police in front of everyone and reached out to some reporters I knew, asking them to come and interview me.

The phone rang briefly before it was snatched away.
Aaron smashed my phone in front of me.
"Lucia, you don't know what's good for you. Don't blame us for forgetting our past friendship."
"I'm not wrong." I stubbornly stood my ground.
Since Esther joined the company, I endured relentless workplace bullying, like verbal insults, work traps, and isolation from coworkers.
I suffered through it all until my life was nearly ruined.
This time, I would fight for my dignity.
Aaron was furious and slapped me hard across the face.
