Karma Doesn’t Sleep: The Revenge Queen Rises novel Chapter 113

On the other side of the building, in the multi-purpose conference room, the entire R&D team was huddled around a table littered with half-eaten breakfast wraps and empty coffee cups.

Lena sat at the head, coffee in hand, scrolling through the group chat on her phone. Rachel’s message from half an hour ago was still lighting up the screen. Lena’s lips curled into a smirk—she couldn’t even hide her disdain.

Return in fifteen minutes or else?

Seriously? Amelia was acting like she ran the world.

Someone finally voiced what a few were thinking, looking uneasy. “It’s Ms. Sadinton’s first day back. Are we really just going to ignore her like this? Isn’t it kind of risky?”

Lena shot her a sharp look. “Manager? Please. She waltzes in here, acting all high and mighty just because she’s Mrs. Salmeron, and then boots Kristen without a word. Someone needs to take her down a peg. Or did you all forget how much Kristen’s done for us?”

The room went quiet. She wasn’t wrong. If Lena said jump, most of them would ask how high—her word practically counted as Kristen’s in this department. They’d shown up early today because of Kristen. As acting manager, Kristen had led them through every big project, always laying the groundwork, mapping out the plans, and making sure all they had to do was follow the steps. Every time a new drug launched, they’d gotten fat bonuses.

Easy work, good money—no wonder everyone loved having Kristen in charge.

But now Amelia was back and had kicked Kristen out in a heartbeat. No wonder everyone was annoyed.

Still, someone hesitated. “But… Amelia’s still Mrs. Salmeron. What if she complains to her husband? Aren’t we all going to get in trouble?”

Lena just laughed, the sound icy. “She won’t be Mrs. Salmeron much longer.” She dropped a trending news link into their private group chat.

The headline was impossible to miss: “Family Day at Ocean Park—Stunning Power Couple Goes Viral!”
