Five years after moving abroad, I return to the country for the first time at the invitation of a business partner. My partner sends a reliable assistant to meet me at the company entrance. I never expect to see my ex, Roy Henderson, who disappeared without a trace five years ago. Back then, a car accident lands me in the hospital. I need his signature, but he is nowhere to be found. Later, I find out he has gone to celebrate his lover's birthday. Everyone assumes I will forgive him like I always do. After all, I have forgiven him countless times before. As soon as I get out of the hospital, I leave the country and disappear from his life completely. Roy frowns as I walk into the company. "You actually tracked me down?" He lets out a sigh. "Forget it. Since you've found me anyway, Ava just had a baby and is still in postpartum recovery. Go take care of her."

"Who else could it be? That man is my boyfriend," Ava said matter-of-factly.Roy stared at her in disbelief. He could have forgiven a little deception, but she blurted straight out, "Roy, we're all adults. "What's wrong with looking out for myself? Look at you now. How could you possibly support me?"Roy grabbed her hand and asked coldly, "You're leaving just because I hit a little trouble? Ava, how did I never realize you were such a vain woman?"Ava's temper flared as she snapped back. "You? Do you think there's a way out after offending Sylvia? What a joke. "If I had known you were this useless, I never would have been with you. You have no money or status, and you are annoying. My darling is here to pick me up."Roy could only watch helplessly as Ava climbed into the Ferrari of a greasy-looking man. Just as Ava had said, he had no money and no status. He was nothing but a failure.Three days later, Wilson fired Roy. To cover the mortgage, he pawned his car. When that still

I had my assistant spread the news about everything that happened at Lopez Group today and posted a few sad photos on my feed. Playing the victim was something Ava always did, and I had to admit, it worked like a charm.I got my friends in the industry to speak up for me. Companies I had worked with before and those hoping to collaborate started subtly undermining Roy's company.Wilson's business deals went from bad to worse. Numerous companies outright refused to work with him.At a dinner one night, one of Wilson's friends dropped a hint. "Have you offended someone recently?"Wilson shook his head, puzzled."The renowned designer your company worked with," his friend said.Wilson immediately told his father, who was also his boss."Sarah still wants to work with us. I thought this was over," he said.His father, Drake Lopez, looked at Wilson with a mix of frustration and disbelief."Over? Take a look at the company's market value. You still think it's over? If we can't kee

Roy turned pale with fear and froze on the spot.Wilson snapped, "What are you standing there for? Go prepare the materials for the meeting."Roy quickly replied, "Yes, Mr. Lopez."This project revolved entirely around me.Every fabric selection and color palette used in the collaboration came from my proprietary formulas. Even the best knockoffs on the market could only replicate about half of the effect, and they were still outrageously expensive. Some things could never be understood simply by taking them apart and copying the structure.In every aspect of this project, I held absolute authority.The meeting began shortly after. As the project lead, Roy naturally took the floor to explain the plan.Putting everything else aside, Roy was competent. He was better than average, but only by a small margin.Halfway through the presentation, I cut him off. "If you're aiming for a luxury brand, your customers can't be just anyone. You're not seriously expecting stay-at-home house

I motioned for Roy to project the content from my phone onto the screen. When he saw the familiar scene frozen there, his face immediately darkened.I said, "What's the matter? You had the guts to do it, but not the courage to take responsibility?"Roy forced himself to walk toward the projector, but in his panic, my phone slipped from his hand and fell into the nearby fish tank.His obvious attempt to cover things up only made the onlookers, who had no idea what was going on, even more curious about our story.Roy looked at me with a guilty expression. "I'm sorry, Syl…"Seeing how tense and guilty he looked, I had to fight hard to keep from laughing. I pulled out another phone and waved it casually, making sure he noticed."Mr. Henderson, that was careless of you. Luckily for me, I have plenty of backups."I turned to Wilson. "Mr. Lopez, your people really can't seem to get things done properly."Wilson immediately understood. He stepped forward at once and had the contents of

"Sylvia, I'm giving you one last chance. Are you going to change your clothes or not?"Seeing Roy genuinely angry, the people around quickly stepped in to hold me back."Just go change, Sylvia. Roy's really angry this time. Don't push him any further."I let out a cold laugh. "Is that so? And wha

"Roy, take me upstairs now. I'm the designer Mr. Lopez—"Before I could finish, Roy lost his patience and shoved me to the ground. "Do you even understand how important today's designer is? Move! Don't just stand there!"I fought to keep my temper in check. "Roy, I don't have time for this." Wit

Roy's self-importance was almost nauseating. I couldn't fathom how I had ever been infatuated with a man like him. I had no intention of getting dragged into their mess again.Just as I was about to reveal my identity, Roy interrupted, "Don't feel sorry for yourself. At this point in your life, wit

When I got out of the taxi, a message from our business partner came through, saying they had already arranged for someone to greet me at the company entrance.When I walked over, I realized the person waiting there was none other than my ex-boyfriend from five years ago, Roy Henderson.At that mo
