Song Yi clenched his fists. He didn’t want to give up the ring. What if Song Fan discovered something suspicious?

But with Song Fan having openly stated that the ring was Yu Wan’s, and with everyone witnessing his admission, he couldn’t easily take it back.

He looked at Song Fan with a scrutinizing, almost dangerous gaze. “This ring is your mother’s memento. It has been with me for many years.”

His implication was clear: he didn’t want to give up the ring and hoped Song Fan would drop the matter. Unfortunately for him, Song Fan had no intention of complying.

“Dad, you mentioned that Mom had many mementos. I remember she had quite a few pieces of jewelry she liked,” Song Fan said with a faint smile. “If not the ring, then perhaps other jewelry could be passed to me. After all, as her only daughter, I should inherit them, right?”

She knew the value of those pieces well. The will in the safe listed dozens of items, none of which she had seen in the Song residence. Song Yi must have hidden them, or they were no longer in the house.

Since he was reluctant to part with the ring, he should at least bring out the other jewelry. Of course, he wouldn’t do that either.

“You’re right. Your mother left me many memories. Since you like this ring, you can have it,” Song Yi decided. He couldn’t risk losing all the jewelry. If he handed them over, Song Fan would claim them all and never return them.

Song Fan didn’t argue further. She pocketed the ring. Some matters had to be resolved slowly, step by step.

Back in the office, before Song Fan could express her anger, the other two were already fuming.

“Boss, how could you swallow this insult? You should have kicked Meng Xia out of our department!” Li Na said, her face flushed with anger.

Kevin nodded vigorously. “Song Fan, are you possessed? Why didn’t you slap her hard?”

Song Fan looked at them helplessly. When had she built such a reputation as a hothead?

Just then, Lan Yue walked in. “Calm down, you two. Have some milk tea. Sweet drinks will improve your mood.”

Li Na took a large gulp without hesitation. “Lan Yue, don’t you think Boss is being too nice? She’s letting people walk all over her!”

“Relax, Boss knows what she’s doing.”

Lan Yue’s words gave Song Fan some comfort. At least someone believed she had both courage and wisdom.

But Lan Yue’s next words nearly made Song Fan choke on her milk tea.

“Boss, just give the word. Should we expose some dirty secrets, or do we wait for a dark and stormy night…” Lan Yue made a throat-slitting gesture, “and take them out?”

“Can’t you think more positively? Maybe I’m planning to use a soft approach?” Song Fan rolled her eyes.

But the three of them shook their heads in unison. Song Fan using a soft approach? Absolutely not.

Looking at the jewelry on the table, Kevin got serious. “Why did you present this version? Didn’t you make a full set of pearl jewelry?”

Li Na nodded repeatedly. She hadn’t asked in the meeting, but she sensed Song Fan had a plan.

Lan Yue, knowing more of the story, stayed silent.

They had discovered that all the computers in the Song Corporation had been hacked, with the breach traced back to the chairman’s office. Song Yi could monitor everyone’s activities, even the security system.

Song Fan had been working on two computers but recently had Lan Yue disable the firewall to allow the hacking. Lan Yue knew Song Fan had a plan.

Song Fan watched Meng Xia leave the office and smirked. “The biggest obstacle to launching the jewelry isn’t external; it’s internal. Watch what happens next.”

After the meeting, Meng Xia’s failure was likely known company-wide. She feigned illness and took leave. Staying at the company would only make her a laughingstock.

Going home wasn’t an option either. With the ring now with Song Fan, she couldn’t face Meng Yu. She found a quiet restaurant instead. Pregnant, she often felt hungry and needed to eat.

As she sat down and ordered, someone sat across from her. “Miss Meng, dining alone?”
