The Accusation

The next attack didn't come from the boardroom.

It came from the media.

Morning at Vanguard Innovations had just begun when Y/N stepped into the elevator lobby.

Employees were already gathered in small clusters, whispering while staring at their phones.

The moment they saw her, the whispers grew quieter.

Too quiet.

Y/N frowned slightly.

Something was wrong.

Very wrong.

One of the junior analysts approached her hesitantly.

"Miss Y/N..."

"Yes?"

"You might want to see this."

He held up his phone.

A live press conference was playing.

And standing behind the microphones—

Was a woman Y/N had never seen before.

Tall.

Elegant.

Impeccably dressed.

But the name displayed on the news banner made everything clear.

Park Ji-eun — Daughter of Aurora Group Chairman

And underneath it:

Former Fiancée of Kim Taehyung

Y/N's eyes narrowed slightly.

"So," she murmured.

"The ex-fiancée."

Across the city, reporters crowded around Ji-eun as cameras flashed.

Her expression was perfectly composed.

Sympathetic.

Almost wounded.

"I didn't want to speak publicly," she said softly.

"But recent events have forced me to."

Reporters leaned forward eagerly.

"Miss Park, are you referring to the Vanguard situation?"

"Yes."

She sighed faintly.

"My engagement to Kim Taehyung was arranged to unite our companies."

"But suddenly," she continued carefully, "a new executive appeared."

The reporters immediately understood.

"Y/N?"

Ji-eun nodded slowly.

"I believe the public deserves to know the truth."

The cameras flashed faster.

"What truth?"

Ji-eun lowered her gaze.

"I discovered that Y/N had been secretly meeting with Taehyung long before she left Aurora."

A murmur spread through the crowd.

"She manipulated internal data at Aurora," Ji-eun continued quietly.

"And used that information to help Vanguard."

The reporters exploded with questions.

"Are you accusing her of corporate espionage?"
