Before Rosie could say anything, Julie leaned forward urgently. “Is it true? You really joined the Anti Bullying Force Arthur founded?” This time, though it was phrased as a question, her tone and expression brimmed with delight. Rosie studied her for a long moment before asking cautiously, “You’re… not angry?” That answer alone confirmed Julie’s guess. The gloom and defeat on Julie’s face vanished instantly, replaced by a smile she couldn’t hold back. “Why would I be angry? I’m thrilled!” She pulled Rosie to the small sofa and began eagerly asking about the Anti Bullying Force. Rosie patiently answered each question, then grew serious. “What you went through today—that’s a form of workplace bullying.” Julie froze, then gave a weary, helpless smile. “Rosie, I searched so long for a job before Lund Corp took me in. Lindsay’s the chairman’s daughter—if she doesn’t like me, there’s nothing I can do. I wanted to keep this job, so a little humiliation was something I could live with.” Working under someone else, she had learned, was nothing like running her own company. She had to read her superiors’ moods, manage relationships with colleagues, and handle difficult clients—often swallowing her pride no matter the injustice. Many people in the workforce lived the same way, enduring silently for the sake of survival. Rosie’s heart ached. Julie had once been the confident, capable head of Gray Corp—a role model, calm and sharp, always carrying herself with quiet assurance. Now, Rosie saw only resignation and weariness. The grind of her job had worn away her shine. “No,” Rosie said firmly. “A healthy work environment isn’t like that. We may work for someone else, but we give our time and energy. We don’t deserve this kind of treatment.” Julie stared at her in silence. Rosie, having already made up her mind, let the matter drop and smiled gently. “Go shower and get some rest. Tomorrow will be better.” Exhausted from the day, Julie nodded, took the pajamas Rosie offered, and went to the bathroom. The next morning, Rosie, knowing Julie was still down, took the day off to keep her company. After breakfast, they turned on the TV. “Breaking news,” the anchor announced. “Lund Corp’s heiress Lindsay has been found using her position to bully employees for years. Almost everyone in her department has been a target.” The anchor’s tone was openly condemning. “We urge all citizens—no matter who the bully is—stand up for yourselves. Contact the Anti Bullying Force, and they will seek justice for you.”Julie stared at the screen, then turned to Rosie. Neither of them had expected the Anti Bullying Force to act so quickly. In less than a day, the so-called queen of Seacity’s corporate scene had been publicly exposed in a scandal guaranteed to stir public outrage. Workplace bullying was a topic that never failed to spark anger. The report would bring swift, widespread condemnation and social boycott. Lund Corp was headed straight into a deep crisis, and whether it could recover would depend on its next moves. Seeing Rosie’s expression, Julie understood without another word. She looked at her with heartfelt gratitude. “Thank you, Rosie.” The next day, the first thing they did after waking was check the news. The boycott had already swept the internet—Lund Corp’s name was everywhere, and “Lindsay” had become a notorious example in workplace anti-bullying campaigns. The company’s stock plummeted, and experts agreed it might never recover.
