Chapter 7

Author: Serein M
Whispers instantly broke out across the restaurant, rushing toward Julian like a tidal wave.

"Julian? Isn't that the CEO of Obsidian?"

"Didn't he just drop ten million on a penthouse? How is his card declining? Is he actually trying to dine and dash?"

Julian's face flushed deep red, then turned sickly pale.

He felt every gaze in the room stabbing into him like needles. There was nowhere to hide.

He abruptly stood up, glaring daggers at the manager, his voice shaking with rage: "You're in on thi

  • Bankrupting My Two-Faced CEO   Chapter 9

    The second the words left my mouth, the press conference exploded into absolute chaos.Watching through the screen, Julian was completely paralyzed, staring blankly at the woman he thought he knew, who was now a total stranger. At the venue, the camera flashes were blinding, practically turning the room to daylight.I sat on the stage, facing the tidal wave of questions, my tone icy and unshaken. "Over the past five years, Obsidian Group's startup capital, R&D funding, and market expansion budget came entirely from my personal investments." A collective gasp echoed through the room. Whispers spread like wildfire. I looked up, my sharp gaze piercing straight through the camera lens, as if I were staring right at Julian on the other side of the screen. "Yet, for the past five years, Mr. Julian exploited my capital while fabricating a 'single' persona to manipulate me. All the while, behind my back, he was bankrolling an outrageously lavish lifestyle for his secret wife." More gasps

    By the time the soaking wet trio made it back to the penthouse, it was late into the night. The second they walked in, Caroline violently hurled her designer bag onto the sofa, her face livid. "What the hell was that today?! Why did every single card decline?!"The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, her voice turning shrill. "And at the restaurant... with everyone watching... I've never been so humiliated in my entire life!" Noah started crying again. "I'm hungry! I wanted steak! I want my fancy dinner!" Julian sat heavily on the sofa, aggressively massaging his throbbing temples, practically on the edge of a total breakdown. "Shut up! Both of you!" Julian roared. "Just let me figure out what the hell is going on!" Caroline let out a bitter laugh, showing no mercy. "Think about what? Your accounts are frozen, and you got fired from your own company! I thought you were the Wolf of Wall Street?! How did you end up like this?!" Julian’s face darkened. He was just about t

How is his card declining? Is he actually trying to dine and dash?" Julian's face flushed deep red, then turned sickly pale.He felt every gaze in the room stabbing into him like needles. There was nowhere to hide.He abruptly stood up, glaring daggers at the manager, his voice shaking with rage: "You're in on this with Alessia, aren't you?! You're helping her set me up!"He forced a cold sneer, desperately trying to salvage his pride. "Do you realize she's been disowned by the Castello family?!" The manager’s face remained entirely blank. "Sir, please pay the bill. Otherwise, we have no choice but to involve the police." The murmurs grew louder, now dripping with blatant mockery.Julian's expression turned incredibly ugly. Not wanting to lose any more face here, he pulled out a sleek credit card and s

    Julian still hadn't fully recovered from the shock Alessia had given him.But Castello enforcers had already tossed their luggage out of the mansion. Caroline huddled in Julian's arms, her pale face streaked with tears."Julian, the house is gone... Where are we going to live?"Noah was terrified by the chaos, clinging to Julian's leg and crying non-stop. "I don't want to sleep outside! I want to go home!" Julian forced down the panic and dread churning in his gut. "Don't worry. So what if the house is gone? I'll just buy another one."Caroline paused, looking up at him with teary eyes. "But what if Alessia...?"She shivered, remembering the brutal violence at the banquet. Julian went silent for a moment. Remembering Alessia's heartless dismissal, a flash of humiliated rage crossed his eyes. "So what if the Castello family backed out? My company, Obsidian, isn't something anyone can just crush!" The very next day, Julian bought a top-floor penthouse worth over $10 million outright.

    Julian reacted fast. He instantly plastered on a perfect, respectful smile and hurried forward, effectively blocking my battered body from view."Mr. Castello! It’s finally an honor to meet you in person..."He extended his hand."We had a minor hiccup tonight—a deranged former employee crashed the party. I'm already having her dealt with. It won't affect—" "Dad."I had finally gathered enough strength to speak, my voice coming out hoarse and broken. Victor's gaze bypassed Julian entirely and landed straight on me, my face covered in blood.His pupils contracted violently. He charged forward.He kicked the bodyguard closest to me squarely in the chest.The 200-pound enforcer flew backward like a ragdoll, crashing into a catering table. Glass shattered everywhere. "Who gave you the right..." Victor roared, his voice shaking the very foundation of the room. "...to touch my daughter?!" The champagne glass in Julian's hand slipped.Crash. It shattered on the floor. Dead silence fell o

    Caroline reacted instantly, shrieking, "It has to be a fake!"She placed a hand on Julian's chest, looking at him with deep concern. "Julian, you can't let her trick you. You know how dangerous the Castello family is. If they find out someone is using a fake crest here, you'll be dragged down with her."She turned to me, her voice dripping with fake pity."Alessia, drop the act. You're going to get yourself killed playing these games." Julian looked at me, his eyes shifting from conflicted to absolute resolve.He glanced around at the industry elites waiting for a show, cleared his throat, and raised his voice, loud and cold."Ladies and gentlemen, my apologies for the disturbance."He looked down at me bleeding on the floor, staring at me like I was nothing but a stranger."I have absolutely no relationship with this woman. She is merely an assistant I fired half a month ago for gross incompetence. She's been stalking me ever since." I stared at him.Five years.The man who slept be
