A Car, A Secretary, A Lifetime of Regret Chapter 9
The Hart family started playing the "family card" again. They frequently mentioned their grandson—my son—in public, along with memories of when we were a family.The sharp players in our social circle, seeing Charlie now bore my last name, gradually softened their attitude toward the Harts. Riding that wave, Tucker managed to push the family business forward a few steps.This year, on my birthday, I once again refused the gifts delivered to my office in the morning. After work, I checked the home security video and saw Landon in the kitchen, wearing an apron and cooking the dishes Charlie and I liked.Charlie ran around happily, insisting repeatedly that I let Landon stay over that night. As a result, I stayed at the office until midnight and went straight to a nearby hotel.I grabbed the room card, but before I could open the door, the room next door opened.A half-collapsed figure crawled onto the floor, pale and trembling. She was streaked with blood, eyes unfocused, and had an

Landon looked up at me. "You're not going to keep our marital home?""I've always been decisive and ruthless," I said calmly. "You've known that for a long time."I was just about to get in the car to go home when Amelia, like a ghost, suddenly jumped out from the side of the road and started screaming at me."Susanne Young! You despicable, arrogant piece of shit! You think having money makes you a better person than everyone else, or that it lets you destroy someone's future for fun? "Aside from having rich parents, in what way am I inferior to you? Why must you keep crushing me? You made me lose my job and ruined my platform for future careers!"Amused, I laughed and gave her a dismissive look. "You're denied future careers because you're useless. Even if you wore designer necklaces and went to fancy parties, you'd still just be a well-packaged trash."I don't even bother suppressing someone like you. This world isn't short on people who think they're righteous heroes. It isn'

The Hart Group shareholders cashed out without hesitation, fleeing to invest in the domestic Young Group instead. Tucker was so furious that it triggered a stroke, and he had to be hospitalized.Only then did Landon realize that Amelia was so useless he couldn't do a thing with her. He made his first call to me. As soon as I picked up, he called me "honey" and started groveling in apology.I told him bluntly, "Sign the papers, and I won't accept any more of Hart Group's departing employees. Otherwise, if you drag this out any longer, your company's reputation will sink so low you'll eventually be bankrupt."When calls didn't work, Landon began waiting for me outside our old home. Little did he know, I had already moved with Charlie and the nanny to the villa I bought years ago.Our old home was still full of traces of Landon's life, so I had listed it with an agency. He came to Young Group's office to find me, only to be stopped by security.Even when the rain poured down in torre

Landon's eyes reddened. "You're really divorcing me… because I made Amelia manager and took Charlie to the amusement park for a little while?"I stood up and walked over to him, glaring at him with contempt. "I gave you a chance, and you didn't value it. You've let this worthless bimbo trample all over me, using my face like a doormat. Well, fine. I'll let you sink into your own self-destruction. Just don't drag me into your filth anymore."I turned and walked out. Emma's heels clicked as she hurried after me, trying to stop me.Tucker finally snapped and slapped Landon. "Get that useless manager out of here immediately! If you don't change Susie's mind, I won't acknowledge having a son like you!"Wasn't it a little late to pretend the Hart family was all about strict upbringing?I drove out of the Hart residence, leaving chaos behind—Landon's cries, Emma's scolding, Tucker's roars, and Amelia's "Don't worry, Mr. Hart. I'll leave now!" whines.All the mess and noise grew more dis

I ignored the stunned look on Landon's face and the delighted smirk on Amelia's, carrying Charlie back home. Once he was calmed and settled, I instructed my lawyer to draw up the divorce agreement.At the same time, I told the International Division to cut off any preferential treatment or resource allocation to Hart Group.Landon hadn't come home in days. Realizing I hadn't taken any immediate action, he grew even bolder. He was so distracted by spending time with Amelia that he didn't even notice Hart Group was starting to feel the impact, with its stock dipping slightly.Meanwhile, Amelia's social media was a nonstop parade. She posted photo dumps almost every day, showing off her flowers, necklaces, designer bags, gowns, and outfits.On my birthday, Landon's father, Tucker Hart, called and said he had prepared a family dinner to celebrate. He had always treated me well.With the divorce papers ready and the company's business and benefits fully separated, it was time to inform

That day, Charlie ran a fever of 101.3 degrees Fahrenheit. He was unusually clingy, so I stayed home with him, giving him fluids and entertaining him.Landon was about to leave, but Charlie's adorable voice stopped him. "Daddy, stay!"He hesitated for a moment, then finally sat down. Watching Charlie's satisfied smile, I felt I had done the right thing in giving Landon a second chance.Suddenly, the sharp ringing of his phone tore through the warm moment.Amelia's sobs rang out. "Mr. Hart, someone is stalking me! The internet is calling me an escort, a bootlicker, and a homewrecker! Is your wife that determined to ruin my life? Please, Mr. Hart, just tell her I won't come near you again. Ask her to leave me alone!"I looked up but continued playing with Charlie. Amelia being harassed was exactly what I expected, but it wasn't nearly as bad as she claimed.Landon, however, was livid. He slammed his phone onto the coffee table, causing Charlie to scream in fright. Instead of calmin
