Chapter 9

Author: Attack on Cheese
A week later, public opinion finally began to turn.

Conrad didn't release much. He only made four pieces of evidence public.

First, it was the bank statement showing the eight million dollars I'd invested in Michael's company six years ago. Then, he proved that the address he'd originally used to register the business belonged to my mother.

There were also messages from Winona begging me to help her get promoted, and an official investigation report confirming the company's fraudulent account

  • Dumped After IPO: The Investor Girlfriend Strikes Back   Chapter 10

    Conrad had every kitchen in the building completely redone.Anything that had ever come into contact with peanuts, including pots, cutting boards, and countertops, was thrown out. He even added a new clause to the chefs' contracts stating that if any peanut product appeared in the food, they would be terminated immediately.I laughed and told him he was going overboard, but he looked at me seriously."Someone already used your allergy to hurt you once. I'm not giving anyone the chance to do it again."I never sold the Hillview Estates penthouse my mother had left me.Conrad came with me when I had the place cleaned and restored, and at one point, I found him on his knees, scrubbing the floor with his sleeves pushed up to his elbows.I leaned against the doorway and watched him for a while."Mr. Sinclair, you do realize you could hire someone to do that, right?"He glanced up at me and answered with complete sincerity, "This is for your mom. I should do it myself."On the day

Then, he proved that the address he'd originally used to register the business belonged to my mother.There were also messages from Winona begging me to help her get promoted, and an official investigation report confirming the company's fraudulent accounting.By the end of the day, a new hashtag was trending alongside Michael's name."Gold-digging social climber."The comments flipped almost overnight."So, Evelyn was the one who stayed with him all night when he ended up in the hospital.""She gave him eight million dollars to get started, and he turned around and called her a greedy capitalist?""The worst part is him giving his girlfriend's dress to his mistress. How disgusting."Winona was the first to lose her job.She interviewed w

    Three days later, investigators arrived at Michael's company.They sealed the offices, removed the servers, and froze the financial records.Suppliers gathered outside the building demanding payment, and at some point, someone struck the glass entrance hard enough to leave a crack running through it.That afternoon, Michael stormed into Jenner Group.This time, Lylia wasn't with him.He stood across from my desk, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at me."Evelyn, you've gone too far."I closed the folder in front of me and looked up."What exactly did I do?"He planted both hands on the edge of my desk, gripping it so tightly that his knuckles turned white."Two sets of books. You planted a second set of accounts in my company! I never did any of that!"I slid my laptop across the desk."I know."Michael froze. "What is that supposed to mean?"I tapped the keyboard with one knuckle."See for yourself."The first page listed three shell companies, while the second showed mo

    Michael showed up on the fourth morning.He brought Lylia with him, and the two of them were standing in the lobby of Jenner Group while security refused them entry.Michael responded by shouting my name across the lobby.By the time I came downstairs, he was calmly straightening his cuffs.When he saw me, he sighed as though he were the one graciously giving me another chance."Evelyn, you look terrible."I slipped my hands into my coat pockets and ignored the comment."What do you want?""I'm willing to give you a way out," he said seriously. "I'll delete my post, and I can help get the stories about you taken down."I stayed where I was and looked at him."What do you want in return?"Michael reached inside his jacket, pulled out a sheet of paper that had been folded twice, and spread it across the reception desk."First, I want 200 million dollars in compensation. The company needs the money if it's going to survive. Second, transfer the Hillview Estates penthouse to Ly

    By the following morning, I was trending all over social media.One gossip account had posted a headline that read, "Jorvia heiress dumps self-made boyfriend after six years, then pulls her investment and destroys his company."The post included two photos.One showed Michael sitting alone in an empty office with his back to the camera. The other had been taken at the reception, right as I placed my hand in Conrad's.The photos made it look like I was the one who had betrayed him.The post quickly racked up 100 thousand comments."He gave her six years of his life, and the second she got the chance, she traded him in for a Sinclair.""That's how rich people treat relationships. The poor guy was just something to pass the time until someone better came along.""I heard her mom died when she was young. I guess no one was around to teach her how to treat people."Winona was the first person I knew to publicly pile on.She dug up an old college photo of us, blurred out the faces,

    The second I accepted Conrad's proposal, Michael snapped."Evelyn, you're only doing this to hurt me, aren't you? You're angry because I took Lylia home with me, so you're putting on this whole performance just to make me jealous!"Come down here. Stop this, and let's go home, okay? I swear I'll never take her anywhere with me again!"Michael was convinced that after loving him for six years, I couldn't possibly walk away for real.What he didn't understand was that there were only so many times someone could hurt me before there was nothing left to hold on to.I looked down at him."Save all that devotion for Lylia."Then, I turned away.Conrad slipped an arm naturally around my waist and leaned closer. "Do you want me to have him removed?"I shook my head."No. He's not worth the trouble."By the time the reception ended, I'd barely gotten into Conrad's Maybach when Michael started bombarding me with messages."Evelyn, please answer your phone. I was wrong. I know I was w
