“The fifth–place prize is 10 thousand bucks? Wanna know what I got for second place at my company’s party? A 100–dollar hair dryer.”
“Ha, that’s nothing. At my company’s event, I got a check from the boss, worth 88 bucks. Here’s a photo of
it.”
“That’s a lot of money! I would be kissing my boss’s ass if I got that prize!”
Throughout the night, employees from different companies compared their annual event prizes and raffles. By morning, Cross Group was the talk of the internet, topping the trending charts as expected.
Other big–name companies quickly joined in on the comparison, and gossip about the annual events of the other five major families spread among their employees.
The Jameses, the Carters, and the Ricas all hosted flashy events. While they didn’t have the no–cost extravagance of the Cross Group’s celebration, they were still counted among the top–tier companies in the industry.
After the comparisons, the Nelsons found themselves the target of mockery.
“I’m from Nelson Group, owned by one of the five big families in Eragos. We didn’t even have an annual party this year…”
“Yeah, no party. I’ve been working here for seven years, and back in the day, the Nelson Group’s party was on par with the rest of the five major families. We’d rent out an entire star–rated hot spring hotel for three days of fun. But this year…”
“This year, we got a box of hot spring eggs!”
Netizens couldn’t get enough. “Haha, this is hilarious! The Nelsons sure love their hot springs!”
“LOL, how embarrassing for the Nelsons. Wait, didn’t they have all that drama not long ago?”
“Yep, I heard about it. The chairman’s ‘daughter‘ stole someone else’s work and then tried to play the victim. Typical of the Nelson Group.”
“What? That’s the fake daughter! They don’t even care about their real one! Just look at where they are now. They deserve it!”
“This is the kind of juicy drama I live for! I thought this fake daughter nonsense only happened in novels,
but here it is—an actual wealthy family ignoring their real daughter to pamper someone else’s child?”
“Exactly! The real daughter’s out there struggling, and if they found her, they’d spoil her rotten. Instead, they’re indulging a fraud and letting her badmouth their actual daughter. They totally deserve this downfall!”
“Haha, karma’s real. Now look at them, falling apart. I heard Ydris Group is leading the charge against them. The Nelsons are done for. They’ll drop out of the five major families soon!”
The next morning, the Nelsons sat at the restaurant, far from pleased with their sudden rise to internet infamy.

Willard, eyes bloodshot from the early wake–up call, stared at the mocking comments on his phone, his frustration boiling over.
“Those ungrateful fools! How many times have we treated them well at company events? This year, we had a tight budget, so we decided to put the funds toward year–end bonuses. But they can’t even appreciate that. Instead, they’re out there stirring up trouble and mocking the company. All these years, we’ve been pouring money into these idiots!”
Valda didn’t care about the online drama. As soon as she woke up, her “best friends” had already called, all eager to gossip about the Nelsons‘ situation, their voices dripping with schadenfreude.
One even offered to “buy them out” at a “friendly price.”
Fuming, Valda shouted at her phone.
