LOGINThe assistant rolled her eyes, then nodded firmly. "That's right."Jessica's eyes lit up. She pushed through the crowd to stand before me. "Percy, you're here to invest, right?"Her eyes were filled with hope. But unfortunately, she was about to be disappointed.I looked at Jessica expressionlessly. "I'm here to withdraw my investment. I'm taking back the 500 thousand dollars I gave you when you started your company."Jessica froze, then immediately pointed at my secretaries behind me. She screamed hysterically, "Are they the reason you're divorcing me? How could you betray me like this when I loved you so much? It's one thing if you cheat with another woman, but you have so many of them?"Everyone who didn't know the truth gasped when they heard the word "divorce".I shook my head calmly, then explained, "I stopped loving you the moment you started threatening me with divorce, just to humiliate me and make me a laughingstock."The room erupted in murmurs."Oh my, this is shock
Six months later, a giant screen overhead was playing live news in Haryndale Airport. "Sources say Graham Corp, the wealthiest corporation in Haryndale, has officially completed its leadership transition. "The new president is the former president's grandson, who reportedly appointed 12 women to his executive secretary team right after taking office. The move has sparked massive online debate, with shares and reposts already exceeding two billion."I was ushered into an SUV.Long-legged Secretary No. 1 placed a tablet in front of me. "This is the latest financial report of Justice Corp, Mr. Graham."Well-endowed Secretary No. 4 chimed in from the side, "Justice Corp has been losing money month after month for half a year. At this rate, they may not even be able to make payroll."I nodded and set the tablet aside.Back then, Grandpa had wanted to move against Justice Corp, but I quickly stopped him.Jessica wouldn't have been able to grow her company to what it became if it were
The moment Jessica pushed the door open, she saw a stranger sitting in the living room.The maid hurried over to explain. "Ms. Justice, this is the lawyer Mr. Graham hired to discuss the divorce."Cole's jaws dropped. "Percy can afford a lawyer?"Warmth drained from Jessica's face. Her expression darkened as she asked my lawyer, Mr. Greene, "How much is Percy paying you? I'll double it—tell him to come see me."Mr. Greene got up, offering a polite smile. "I'm afraid my fees are confidential. Besides, Mr. Graham has already left the country. That's why he's asked me to handle the divorce on his behalf."Jessica froze. "That's impossible. How could he afford to go abroad?""Don't tell me he stole—" Cole blurted it out before quickly covering his mouth.Jessica shot him a glance, then turned to the maid and barked, "Go check and see if any of my jewelry is missing!"The maid nodded respectfully. "None of your jewelry or cash is missing, Ms. Justice."Jessica's anger flared. "If n
On the 16th floor of the building, Jessica took a sip of hot soup and immediately frowned. "This tastes like water. I pay you people, and this is what you serve me?"The maid lowered her head, nervous and apologetic.Ever since I left, bringing meals to Jessica had become a nightmare.If the chicken soup was simmered too long, she'd say it was too greasy. If it was lightly cooked, she'd complain it was tasteless.The maid had been serving chicken soup repeatedly for days. She was so sick of it she felt nauseous just looking at chicken."M-Ms. Justice, this is already the fourth time the chef has remade the soup today," she stammered.Jessica set the bowl down hard. "You can't do your job, and now you're blaming me for being picky? Then how was it that Percy could make it right, but none of the chefs could?"The maid lowered her head even further.She couldn't believe how Jessica was saying that my cooking was good now, when she'd been complaining about it being salty back then.
The air seemed to freeze. I tightened my grip on the documents in my hand.Sweat beaded on Cole's forehead.He'd slipped the two agreements in with a stack of others, getting Jessica to sign them without noticing. If that came to light, he wouldn't walk away unscathed either.Cole stammered, "Uh… Jessy, I'm a little tired. Let's head back—"Jessica's sharp gaze snapped to him. He flinched and immediately shut up."What exactly are you holding, Percy?" Her voice was low, but the anger underneath was unmistakable.I hid the agreements behind my back and looked up at Jessica. "Nothing.""Yeah, yeah, it's nothing," Cole chimed in quickly, shooting me a look. "Why are you still here? It sickens me to see you around. Get lost!"Jessica said nothing, so I turned and walked toward the elevator. She remained silent even after I pressed the button.Cole let out a quiet breath of relief.The next moment, Jessica's cold voice rang heavy with pressure. "Did I say you could leave?"I tu
I struggled to type out a reply to Grandpa. "I'm in the north part of the city. I've got something to take care of. Wait for me."After I sent it, everything went black, and I passed out.I could barely hear bits of conversation around me."Let's go. We got the video. We don't need to bother with him anymore.""But what if he dies after we leave him here?""Don't forget we're only here because Jessica invited us. You think she won't come after us if we help him?"…In the end, they dumped me at the hospital entrance and left. A security guard spotted me and quickly called for the ER doctors.I had just been wheeled inside when a nurse rushed over. "Hurry, Dr. Jefferson. There's a VIP patient in the surgical department that needs you."Dr. Jefferson waved her off. "I already saw him. He just has a bruise on his face. He'll be fine with some rest. They've already got over a dozen doctors there. They don't need me."I forced my eyes open slightly.The harsh white lights made my
