Chapter 6

Author: Minnow
I didn't pay Yvette any attention. I just quietly packed my things.

"Don't worry. I'll assist Elliot," she added. "He's been under a lot of pressure because of you."

I stopped what I was doing and turned to look at her. "Do you think you've won?"

Her smile widened. "I don't understand what you mean."

"You will soon." I grabbed the last box and left the company, eager for what lay ahead.

Someone like Yvette wouldn't be satisfied with what she had. Her greed and ambition would soon expose her true colors.

And Elliot would pay the price for his choices.

...

In the first month after the divorce, I threw myself into my new studio.

My industry reputation and client network brought in big projects fast. I also recruited talented designers from Kline Creative who were fed up with Yvette's actions.

At the same time, I learned through friends that things at Kline Creative struggled without my support.

Their news projects flopped, and key clients grew frustrated.

    Kline Creative eventually declared bankruptcy, and Elliot was blacklisted as a debtor.The once-glorious businessman became a debt-ridden failure overnight. He had to sell his luxury house and car, moving into an old, rundown neighborhood.The friends and partners who once surrounded him now avoided him like the plague. But what hurt him the most was the complete change in how the industry viewed him.People called him a clueless fool, duped by a young schemer. Some even maliciously speculated that there must have been an inappropriate relationship between him and Yvette, or else he wouldn't have trusted her so blindly.These rumors cut deep.Elliot turned to alcohol, isolating himself in gloom. There were countless times he wanted to contact me, hoping for my forgiveness and help. But every time he picked up the phone, he didn't know what to say.He knew he had brought this on himself. If only he had trusted and respected me from the start, this wouldn't have happened.To pay o

    I nodded, ending the call.My mind started to wander. I knew someone like Yvette, greedy to the core, would never be content after getting so much money.She would slip up soon, and when that happened, the consequences would catch up with her.Sure enough, news about her soon emerged.According to what John learned from the police, Yvette had run off to Doreaville.With the money she had scammed, she lived a lavish lifestyle, frequenting high-end hotels and clubs. She threw money away like it was nothing.But her good times didn't last long.She met a man at a casino who claimed to be a Vynolnian businessman. He told her about an investment opportunity that could double her money.Blinded by greed, Yvette believed him and invested most of her funds.The outcome was predictable. The so-called businessman was a fraud. Yvette not only lost her money but was also scammed out of over ten million dollars.Realizing she'd been tricked, she went to confront the man, only to get beate

  • Falling for the Illusion   Chapter 7

    If Elliot had trusted and respected me back then, things wouldn't have ended up like this.Two months later, there was new progress in the case of Yvette fleeing with the money.According to John, the police had traced the money through bank transactions and confirmed that Yvette had stolen from the company account. That was 23 million dollars in total.This money was originally intended by Kline Creative as startup capital for a new project. Part of it was loaned from the bank as working capital.Yvette was crafty in how she deceived everyone. She first took advantage of Elliot's trust and volunteered to manage the company's finances.At the time, Elliot was touched. "Yvette is such a responsible girl that she's helping to lighten my workload."Then, using the excuse of investing in overseas projects, she convinced Elliot to sign a series of authorization documents.These documents seemed perfectly normal, but they gave Yvette full access to the company account.Even worse, sh

    "Because of Yvette?" Elliot asked in disbelief.I shook my head. "No. Because you don't trust or respect me.""What? When have I disrespected you?""The moment you casually handed my ideas to someone else, you disrespected me."Elliot's face darkened. "That's a small issue. We can talk it out.""Not to me. It's about principles." I pointed to the agreement. "I've decided. Sign it."Elliot shot up to his feet. His face twisted with anger. "I won't sign it. We still have feelings for each other. We still have a son.""I'll take care of Kyle. You can visit him at any time.""Are you really this heartless?"I looked at his angry face. It did stir something in me, but remembering how he'd always protected and favored Yvette over me, I refused to relent.His anger stirred me, but memories of his favoritism toward Yvette hardened my resolve. "Love goes both ways, Elliot. When you kept hurting me for an outsider, our love died.""Yvette is not an outsider," he argued. "She is my emp

    Snapping back to reality, he growled."Why are you making me choose? You're both important to me," he sulked."Answer me!" I pressed.His eyes flickered with hesitation. Then he spoke firmly. "I won't fire Yvette. She's young and promising. A few misunderstandings shouldn't ruin her future."His words pierced my heart. It turned out that I meant less to him than an intern he'd known for weeks."I get it." I turned and left his office without hesitation.That evening, I contacted my lawyer friend. "John, help me prepare a divorce agreement."John Dupont was surprised. "Are you serious? You and Elliot seemed solid.""Just prepare it. I need the agreement in three days.""Alright, but you need to think it through. You still have the company shares to sort out.""I know. I'll give up all my shares, but there's one condition.""What condition?""The copyrights to all my creative works and proposals from the past five years. I'll take them back."John gasped, "These are core ass
