Behind her was a building with the company name clearly visible:Black Diamond Horizon.
“What’s going on?” Sophia asked.
Emma quickly read through the article.
“Black Diamond Horizon has collapsed,” she said. “Apparently, some of their major projects were stolen. There were also internal issues caused by Celia. And the project with the Graves Group was canceled, which pushed them into massive debt.”
She scrolled further.
“They lost equity. Celia was also thrown out of the company.”
Sophia listened silently.
Emma’s eyes widened as she kept scrolling.
“Jesus…” she whispered. “It’s a complete mess. Not only are their financial problems exposed, but Celia’s entire personal life is trending.”
She glanced at Sophia again.
“They’re exposing everything. It says she manipulated employees, got people fired for personal gain, pretended to be kind while ruining others behind their backs. The backlash is insane.”
Emma slowly lowered the phone and looked at Sophia, suspicion creeping into her tone.
“Do you think this is Magnus’s way of apologizing to you?”

Magnus sat behind his large desk, staring at the news articles on his computer screen.
Headlines flashed:
‘Empire Group Cancels All Deals with Black Diamond Horizon’
‘Black Diamond Horizon Collapses Overnight’
‘Jerry Thomson Removed from the CEO Position Amid Scandal’
Gregory sat across from him, leaning back in the chair, arms crossed.
Magnus’s lips slowly curved into a satisfied smile.
“Now that I’ve taken revenge and handled everything for Sophia,” he said, his voice filled with pride, “her anger should’ve subsided.”
Gregory stared at him for a long moment before shaking his head.
“I don’t think so,” he said flatly.
Magnus’s smile faded slightly.
“Don’t you think you’re too late?” Gregory continued bluntly. “You should’ve done this the moment the issue happened. Instead, you waited.”
He leaned forward slightly.
“And now you expect her to just stop being angry?”
He shook his head.
“How is that possible?”
