When a Genius Makes a Mistake

****Completed, but under revision.**** ***SUPER SLOW BURN MATURE 18+*** After struggling her way through university, Mina Harlow, a top tier graduate (and literal genius), with the aspiration of lifting her family out of poverty, was still living in the slums, taking odd jobs to earn a living. All of her hard work had been for nothing and her life is cast into turmoil because she offended the wrong Miss from a prominent family. Desperate to for her next source of income, Mina aligns herself with the wrong people, and finds herself amid several conspiracies that keep becoming more and more confounded by misunderstandings. She is mistaken for a spy, by one of the most influential families in the country and held captive as the confusion, mishaps and misunderstandings build up all around her. Under the extreme circumstance, Mina is thrown into despair, hatred and love all that the same time, but will the experience break her or make her ‘better?’ (This story is set in a fictional, modern day patriarchal society on the brink of a shift public opinion on the 'role' of the woman.) Excerpt: "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm stupid," Mina replied. The man laughed sarcastically. "I disagree. I think you are a very smart girl." "Being smart does not mean you can not be stupid." Who told her she was a genius anyway? ***THIS IS AN ADULT STORY WITH AN ADULT THEME. THERE IS VIOLENCE AND IMPLIED VIOLENCE. THERE IS ROMANCE IN THIS STORY, BUT IT IS NOT EXACTLY A LOVE STORY. ***

Chapter 723: Settlement

Surprisingly, the enforcement documents were delivered to Mina just two days later, but because she was not foolish enough to use any of her dark money to start her career, she was able to provide the government's treasury department with what they wanted, with redactions of course. The only thing she did not like was the fact that the Lee Group was mentioned on the paperwork, although it was in the context of a settlement agreement. 

That was the only way Mina could make the 500k President Lee gave her legal, and while she had not actually had the full amount left when she started her company, she had flipped it in so many circles that it was triple the amount she started with; all of which was carefully documented.

"How are you so calm about this?" Sadie questioned, but Mina did not have much of a response for her sister. She had nothing to hide; she had bled and cried for the money President Lee gave her, and after that, she suffered for it.
