Queenly Innovations' press conference was packed. I stood on the stage and briefly introduced our new product.

The spotlight never left me. The people below the stage were either reporters or elites.

During the question-and-answer session, the door suddenly slammed open. Zachary wore a wrinkled suit, his eyes bloodshot. He rushed past security and stumbled onto the stage.

Shocked, the crowd aimed their cameras at him.

He knelt before me and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Queenie, I'm sorry! I was wrong! What happened to our child and the company was all my fault!

"Give me one more chance! I'm willing to make a public apology online. Please just give me one more chance!"

The security guards rushed forward to hold him back, but he refused to release the microphone and continued to yell like a lunatic, "You're the one I love! It was just a momentary lapse of judgement!"

  • Divorcing Him After Welcoming My Sister   Chapter 10

    Three years passed. The wedding venue was breathtaking.I stood under the spotlight with my arm wrapped around Caleb's. Wearing a long wedding gown and a sheer bridal veil, I looked to my side and met his stoic yet warm gaze.He whispered, "You look beautiful today, Queenie."The audience below the stage excitedly clapped for us. No one noticed a man in a faded work uniform hiding in the shadows of the opposite street, watching the scene from afar. It was Zachary. Scrunched up in his hand was a letter. Cut by the edge of the paper, his fingers were red. He couldn't bring himself to step forward, so he simply watched from the shadows.When I returned to the bridal suite after the wedding, my assistant handed me a letter. "Ms. Scott, someone left an anonymous letter for you."I opened the letter. Although the handwriting was messy, I knew it was Zachary's at first glance.The letter read, "Queenie, I know I don't have the right to say anything because I brought this upon myself

    The night before Queenly Innovations hit the market, stress overwhelmed me. I was the last to leave the office. When I felt a familiar aching in my stomach, I finally remembered that I had forgotten to eat.When the elevator door opened, I saw that the lights in the lobby were still on, but no one was around. Caleb was leaning against the reception counter with an insulated bag beside his foot.Upon seeing me, he straightened up and frowned. "I knew you skipped lunch again. I'm just passing by. I brought stew."His tone was so casual that it sounded like he was talking about the weather. I was stunned. "Mr. Green, you—""It was convenient for me." He interrupted me and determinedly picked up the bag. "Eat it while it's still warm."We went to the break room. …The moment he opened the thermos, an appetizing scent filled the air.I could tell it wasn't takeout, but home-cooked. It had been left to simmer at the perfect temperature. When I took a sip, warmth filled my stomach.

    The lighting was warm inside the live broadcast room. Wearing a simple suit, I calmly sat in front of the camera.The host asked cautiously, "Ms. Scott, what do you think about the recent online discussions about your divorce and your new company?"I smiled at the camera. "I divorced my ex-husband to fix the mistake I made in the past. The company is a new beginning for me. I don't regret any of my choices.""I heard that Larson Group's in a tough position lately. Are you—"I cut her off and explained calmly yet firmly, "I hope this is the last time I have to say this—I only care about Queenly Innovations' future."The people in the comment section went wild."You go, girl! That scumbag deserves it!""Nothing is more attractive than a career woman!""I heard that her ex-husband and the homewrecker turned on each other. Anyone got the scoop?"The interview received better traction than I expected. My composed and resilient image contrasted heavily with Zachary and Julia's dirty

    I was lying on a couch in a simple apartment at the other end of the city. Although my face was pale, my gaze was calm.My best friend, Wendy Lane, passed me a glass of water. "Stop thinking about him. There's no point in feeling sad over scum like him. Your health is more important."I shook my head and accepted the glass of water. "I'm not sad. I was just surprised that moving on wasn't as hard as I expected."Then, I pulled out my laptop and opened my business plan. "This is the launch plan for my new company. Take a look at it and tell me what can be refined."Wendy took a close look at it and gave me her suggestions from time to time. The sky was slowly darkening outside the window, but the room remained bright from the warm glow of the fluorescent lights inside.As I read the document, I lightly caressed my stomach. The emptiness stung, but all that remained was pain. My tears had dried up. I would only live for myself from now on.Queenly Innovations' launch shook the enti

    Zachary rushed out of the hospital and tried to call me. "The number you have dialed is currently unavailable…"The message he had sent me through WhatsApp failed to go through. He was stunned, his fingers feeling numb. He couldn't reach me on any other platform either. It was the first time he had been completely kicked out of my world.It tore a gaping hole in his heart. He had never felt so scared.He lost me. The realization stabbed into his heart like an icepick.The car was still filled with the sweet scent of Julia's perfume.
