Dreams of Betrayal Chapter 17
"What personal matter?"I looked at Tiffany, already somewhat guessing what she was about to say.She did not beat around the bush. She simply met my gaze and said calmly, "Steve, I want to date you."I stared at her for a few seconds."Since when?"Tiffany smiled. "Longer than you think."Back when I first met Jade, I'd already heard about you. “She'd just started her business, and she used to tell everyone how her boyfriend was willing to squeeze into a tiny apartment with her, eat instant noodles by her side, and stay up all night helping her revise business proposals."At the time, I couldn't understand it."She leaned back in her chair, a hint of self-mockery in her voice."I grew up watching people scramble to get close to the wealthy. You were the first person who showed me that someone could willingly share the hard times with a person who had absolutely nothing."At first, I was simply curious. Then I met you a few times and realized you weren't foolish, and it was

I did not bother responding to Jade. I simply turned and left with Tiffany.However, early the next morning, Jade showed up again.She had spent the entire night waiting outside the recovery facility. Her eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep.The moment she saw me come out, she hurried over."Steve, can we talk one more time?"I kept walking.Jade followed close behind, her voice hoarse."What I said yesterday was horrible. I had no right to say those things to you."I've dealt with Luis once and for all. “And nothing ever happened between us. We never slept together."From beginning to end, you're the only man I've ever truly wanted."At that, I finally stopped."What difference does it make whether you slept together or not?"Jade, things didn't come to this because of whether you and Luis had sex."You chose to believe him again and again. And every single time, you let me be the one who got hurt."That's why I want a divorce."Her face went pale. "I know I was wr

Three days later, Tiffany invited me to meet with the head of Jamison Group.The deal was practically settled. We only had a few final terms left to confirm.By the time the meeting ended, it was already 9 PM. I had just stepped out of the hotel when I spotted a familiar black car parked not far away.The next second, the car door opened.Jade stepped out. She had clearly been waiting for a long time. Her shirt sleeves were rolled up to her elbows, and her bloodshot eyes showed just how many sleepless nights she had endured.However, her gaze did not fall on me first. Instead, she stared at Tiffany, who was standing beside me."So, it was you."I paused.Tiffany, on the other hand, remained perfectly calm."Ms. Smith. It's been a while."Jade let out a harsh laugh. "It certainly has."That was when I realized she had figured it out.After one crisis after another hit Smith Group, Jade had started tracing the connections between its suppliers and financial backers.The reas

Once upon a time, I probably would have desperately wanted to hear Jade apologize.However, now that the words had finally come, I felt nothing but calm."Are you finished?"Her expression stiffened. I tapped the divorce agreement again."If you're finished, sign it.""I'm not signing," Jade answered almost without thinking. "You can punish me however you want."Luis has been kicked out of the company. He will never show up in front of you again."But we can’t get divorced."I stared at her coldly."What makes you think you still get to decide that?"Jade's breathing grew heavier.When she realized there was no room for negotiation on the divorce, she suddenly changed the subject."Who is that woman?"My brows drew together."The woman who helped you out of the hotel that day."Have you been with her this whole time?"Who is she?"There it was.After everything she had said, she had still come around to this.I replied calmly, "That's none of your business.""How ca

Once the second step was set in motion, problems began piling up for Smith Group.The largest supplier of construction materials for the Jubilee City project was the first to suspend deliveries.Smith Group had already fallen more than $80 million behind on payments to the supplier because it wanted to keep its cash liquid for its new project.In the past, the supplier had been afraid to confront Smith Group because most of its orders came from it. However, Tiffany had now found them a new business partner.With another option available, they had no reason for them to keep financing Smith Group out of their own pockets.As soon as the materials stopped coming, two construction zones at the Jubilee City site were forced to shut down that very day.Next, I wrote another name on the paper.Jamison Group.Tiffany glanced at it."Are you sure you want to go after it?"I nodded.Jamison Group was one of Smith Group's longest-standing clients, with a business relationship that had

Jade's suspicions were correct.The sudden crisis at her company really was connected to me.More precisely, it was something Tiffany Zeller and I had planned together.That day, after the bodyguards left the hotel, I lay on the floor for a long time before finally managing to reach my phone and call Tiffany.She arrived in less than half an hour.By the time she pushed the door open, I barely had enough strength left to sit up.Tiffany stood in the doorway. The moment she saw the scattered buttons and filming equipment littering the floor, her expression darkened.However, she did not ask a single question. She simply took off her coat and draped it over my shoulders. Then, she bent down, slipped an arm beneath mine, and helped me to my feet."Let's get you to the hospital first."For the next two weeks, I stayed at a private recovery facility Tiffany owned.It was not open to the public, and its patient records were never uploaded to the regular hospital databases.That wa
