“Vanessa, stop following me. If you’re hoping I’ll help you pay off your debts, you might as well give up on that idea now.”Vanessa stepped forward and grabbed my hand. She shook her head in a panic, explaining, “No, no, it’s not that, Stephen. I didn’t come to ask you to pay off my debts. I’ll figure that out myself. I just wanted to apologize… I’m sorry.”I was slightly frozen for a moment. The usually proud Vanessa was actually bowing her head in apology.However, an apology could never make up for the hurt she had caused me.Vanessa noticed my silence and continued, “Stephen, it’s my fault for not listening to your warnings, for mistakenly thinking that bastard Travis was a good person.“And it’s also my fault for loving the wrong person from the very beginning. Only when you gave me that candy did I realize the only person I’ve ever truly loved all these years was you.“Stephen, please give me a chance. Can we start over?”Vanessa clutched my hand tightly, but I coldly pul

“Stephen, where did this candy come from? I’m asking you, where did this candy come from?”I did not understand why Vanessa was so agitated at this moment. I just answered calmly, “I made it myself.”I had a sweet tooth, so I sometimes made desserts like chocolates, candies… All of that. However, Vanessa preferred stronger flavors and spicy foods. After I got together with her, I stopped making sweets. Since I had some free time recently, I resumed this little hobby.Vanessa stared at me blankly. There was a trace of sorrow in her eyes. Even though she was looking at me, her thoughts seemed to drift far away. She lowered her head weakly, staring at the creases in the blanket she had caused, and asked in a flat, emotionless tone, “Travis, when I fainted during the freshman sports meet, was it really you who carried me to the infirmary?”Travis’ face flickered with guilt.“Y-Yes… It was me. Why are you bringing up something so long ago?”Vanessa let out a cold laugh and repli

I recognized those people. They were from the product development teams of five other companies.One of them grabbed Vanessa by the arm and said, “Finally found you! Now that there’s an issue with the product, the entire production line is collapsing, and there’s a bunch of leftover stock.“Your company will be fully responsible for all the damages, and you’ll have to cover all the compensation!”I furrowed my brows in shock when I heard that. Travis had only managed to produce a prototype. The official production was two weeks away, yet he had arrogantly skipped any checks and, using his authority as the chief, jumped straight into production.Vanessa hesitated for a moment before asking, “How could this happen? And how much are we talking about for the compensation?”One of the team leaders answered, “Preliminary estimates are 50 million… plus…”Vanessa had not even finished listening when her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed straight to the ground. She had fainted from th

It finally hit me. Vanessa thought I was jealous.Perhaps she figured I regretted something and could not let her go, so I even followed her all the way to the gala.I frowned. She really did overthink things. She was way too full of herself.I explained calmly, “I’m here at tonight’s gala to pitch for an investment with Mr. Lane from Amirate.”For a moment, Vanessa laughed like she had just heard the funniest joke, doubling over and clutching her stomach. She mocked, “Stephen, don’t be ridiculous. You’re here to pitch for investment? Last I checked, no one has even hired you.”Travis chimed in, “Stephen, I had no idea things were this tough for you. No need to be embarrassed, and don’t try to bluff your way through it. After all, you took care of Vanessa for so many years. If you ask, I could probably lend you some money. I’m sure Vanessa wouldn’t want to see you going hungry either.”Vanessa shot me a look full of disgust and sneered, “Who’d feel sorry for him? Travis, it’s onl

“Stephen, I was just testing you earlier, giving you a chance out of the goodness of my heart. I didn’t expect you to be so ungrateful!“Oh well. Anyway, the company now has a genius like Travis. Whether you come back or not makes no difference.”I smiled casually, knowing full well that Travis’ so-called accomplishment was nothing more than a lucky fluke.The final material for this product was complex, and the formula was not something anyone could just stumble upon.When I was working on it, I experimented with more than a dozen formulations. I finally narrowed it down through repeated trials to the one correct combination.If Travis acted so recklessly, it could easily lead to irreversible consequences.Vanessa was completely lost in her dream of making big money. Even if I warned her, she would not listen. At the thought of this, I decided to show her the door.“We’re getting divorced. You’ve got no business being here.”Vanessa rose to her feet. Her face was flushed with

“W-What? Five million? You must be kidding. There has to be some mistake!”Vanessa was stunned. Her hands shook so badly.However, before she could finish, the caller had already hung up. She suddenly snapped her head toward me. Her eyes froze on me, and she was seething with uncontrollable rage.“Stephen, are you the one causing trouble behind the scenes? This product was supposed to be a guaranteed success! How could things go this wrong?”I gave her a smile and waved her off casually. “You’re overthinking it. What’s it got to do with me? But that product does get inspected regularly. If it doesn’t show any breakthroughs, the chief will have to take full responsibility.“Today marks the very last day to meet the deadline.”Vanessa opened her mouth again, but time was slipping away. She grabbed Travis’ hand like he was her last lifeline.“Travis, I can only count on you now. We have to get to the headquarters. We can’t waste a second.”The two of them rushed out in a panic.I
