A Million-Dollar Ring Swapped for a Can Tab Chapter 8
My exit from Stellaria Group dealt a devastating blow to the company. Although it managed to stay afloat, the company had long since lost its former glory.Resignation letters piled up on Lucian's desk the day he returned to Dravoria.More than half of the middle and senior executives in the company had been loyal to me.One by one, these diligent staff lost faith in Lucian when he fired me after I'd worked ceaselessly, only to promote the incompetent Evelyn—who'd spent her days slacking off—to technical director.With the core team gone, the company's operations immediately ground to a halt.Lucian had no choice but to offer exorbitant salaries in order to poach talent. It didn't take long before the reserves we'd built up over the past two years ran dry.Desperate to turn things around, he made a gamble by planning a livestream launch for the new car model and appointed Evelyn as the main presenter.Just a year ago, I secured 50 thousand orders on the very same stage through s

Evelyn burst out laughing. Malice flashed through her gaze before she spoke up. "You're still trying to keep up the act? In that case, don't blame me for not showing you mercy."She raised a hand and stopped Joseph, who had just happened to be passing by. "Someone's behaving rather suspiciously here, Mr. Sanford. I suspect that she sneaked in. Would you mind checking her invitation?" Her voice was laced with feigned respect.Joseph gave me a brief glance before he replied indifferently, "This lady is indeed not on the guest list."A triumphant smile instantly appeared on Evelyn's face as she mocked, "As expected, the elite circle isn't something every Tom, Dick, and Harry gets to waltz into."Then, she shot me a sideways glance. "What are you still doing here, Roxanne? Get out!"But things took a sharp turn the very next moment. "Ms. Schmidt is the host for tonight's banquet. Naturally, she has no need for an invitation," Joseph continued.He narrowed his eyes as his tone abrup

I had to lie in the hospital bed for an entire week due to the extensive burns. The gauze would get stuck to the wounds whenever the nurses changed my bandages. I was often in so much agony that my body would tremble from the pain.Not a single call came from Lucian the whole time I was there, yet I was able to keep up with their latest activity through Evelyn's Instagram. Lucian was out strolling through the streets of Eldrithen with Evelyn, while I couldn't even bring myself to look at my disfigured reflection in the mirror. Sunlight bathed across her smooth, unblemished face, and the sight of their radiant smiles in the photo stung my eyes.When I tossed and turned all night because my wounds had become infected, Evelyn uploaded a new post again."I couldn't sleep at night. Thank goodness I have a master chef right by my side to whip up some pasta for me," she wrote. The photo showed Lucian in an apron as he got busy in the kitchen.This was the same man who'd promised to

My fingers trembled uncontrollably when I saw that Evelyn's name had been clearly listed as Lucian's spouse. The registration date was the very next day after they'd reunited.Everything that hadn't made sense before instantly fell in place. The reason he'd let Evelyn join the company, the way his threats to fire her never led anywhere… it all made sense now.Like the fool I was, they'd played me in the palm of their hand for an entire year.I walked out of the office in a daze, only to bump into Evelyn sneaking around with a thermos in hand. Steam was still rising from the flask, and she looked visibly flustered."It must've been exhausting to put up an act the whole time you were married to Lucian this year, wasn't it?" I asked icily as I closed in on her. "From a waitress all the way to director… the two of you really put on quite a show just to bleed me dry."Evelyn's expression shifted at my words before she finally dropped the act. A smirk curled at the corner of her lips.

Anticipation swelled in my chest as I rose to my feet. But the very next second, Evelyn stepped into the spotlight with a radiant smile.The crowd immediately erupted in an uproar.I froze in place as a loud ringing filled my ears. Aside from Lucian and Evelyn, almost all of the employees had a bewildered look on their faces.Murmurs immediately spread through the crowd."No way… everyone knows Ms. Schmidt deserves the most credit for the new product," one of them muttered.Unfazed, Lucian praised Evelyn for her contributions in front of the media. He even made an announcement on the spot."From today onward, Roxanne Schmidt will step down from her current position. Evelyn Wiley will be promoted to the technical director of the company," he declared.My nails dug deep into my palms, but the pain was incomparable to the suffocating tightness in my chest. Evelyn could barely hide her smirk as she stood beside Lucian.The crowd had yet to disperse since the product launch had just

Several pairs of shoes lay strewn across the entrance foyer.The couch flown in from Syldora was covered with cheap stuffed toys won from claw machines. Even the wedding photo hanging on the wall had a dartboard covering my face.The corners of my lips twitched uncontrollably. I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't even force out a sneer.So this was the surprise Lucian had prepared for me.Just then, the front door was pushed open. Lucian had returned with one arm wrapped around Evelyn to support her.The two of them immediately froze when they saw me sitting on the couch. Lucian hurried forward to explain, "Evelyn was kicked out by her landlord, so I decided to let her stay here for the time being."I wanted to tell you earlier, but it all happened so suddenly. Besides, no one's living in the house. I thought it wouldn't hurt to have someone around as it'll feel less empty…" he trailed off.I raised my hand to cut him off. "Tell her to pack up and leave immediately," I said curtly.
