Karma Doesn’t Sleep: The Revenge Queen Rises novel Chapter 117

Cloudcrest wasn’t the kind of place you could just stroll into. The perks and pay were legendary—nobody ever wanted to leave. People practically fought tooth and nail just to get hired, so the idea of quitting? Not a chance.

Lena’s face twisted with frustration as Amelia ignored her completely. Around them, a bunch of coworkers looked uneasy, their confidence starting to crack under Amelia’s steady stare.

Lena tried to rally, raising her voice. “Ms. Sadinton, that’s not fair! How can you accuse us of skipping work when we were just having a morning meeting?”

Finally, Amelia looked at her. The expression she gave Lena was pure disbelief, like she couldn’t believe anyone could be this clueless.

“The security system your department uses?” Amelia’s voice was calm, almost bored. “I designed it. Seven years ago.”

Everyone in R&D went silent. Most of them were tech geniuses, and they knew exactly how good that security system was—it was famous in the industry, and no one had ever managed to hack it. And it turned out it was Amelia’s work from way back?

Lena didn’t get the significance. She just scoffed, rolling her eyes. “So what? What’s your point?”

Seriously, how had someone like her even gotten into the department?

Amelia’s face stayed perfectly cool, not a flicker of emotion. Her voice dropped even lower. “That conference room you were using this morning? It’s got full video and audio. Should I pull the footage and send it to the board? Let them see and hear exactly what you all got up to?”

The effect was instant. Not just Lena—everyone else turned pale as ghosts, panic flashing in their eyes.

If the board saw them lounging around, pretending to meet while actually trash-talking their boss and slacking off? They’d be toast.

Lena, at least, had Kristen in her corner—her bestie and soon-to-be Mrs. Salmeron. But the rest of them? Just regular folks with bills to pay and families counting on them.
