  • He Divorced Me Dying, Now I’m His Billionaire Boss   Chapter 25 – The First Industry Banquet

    The ballroom glittered beneath thousands of crystal lights.Every table was decorated with fresh white orchids, polished silverware, and hand-blown glass centerpieces that reflected the golden chandeliers overhead. Waiters moved through the room with practiced precision, while soft music drifted from a live string quartet positioned near the stage.The Annual National Healthcare Innovation Banquet was the most influential business event of the year.Only the country's largest pharmaceutical companies, biotech corporations, venture capital firms, and medical research organizations received invitations.Tonight, every seat was occupied.Conversations filled the room."So NovaGene really found its founder.""I still can't believe she's Harrison Hart's granddaughter.""She's become the most talked-about executive in the industry.""I heard three international companies have already requested partnerships."Across the ballroom, television cameras quietly captured guests arriving.One after

    Vanessa stared at the television without blinking.Every business channel carried the same headline.HARRISON HART PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGES GRANDDAUGHTER.NOVAGENE CHAIRWOMAN REVEALED AS HART FAMILY HEIR.Images of Evelyn standing beside Harrison Hart filled the screen from every angle. The cameras had captured her composed smile, the respectful way executives greeted her, and the quiet confidence that seemed effortless.Vanessa tightened her grip around the remote."No."She switched channels.The same story.Another channel.The same footage.Everywhere she looked, Evelyn was no longer Adrian's forgotten wife.She was being introduced as one of the most influential women in the country.The remote slipped from Vanessa's hand and landed on the marble floor.Her mother, Linda Hart, walked into the living room carrying a cup of tea."Why are you making so much noise?"Vanessa pointed at the television."Explain that."Linda looked toward the screen.Her face immediately stiffened."Harris

    Adrian couldn't hear the traffic outside.He couldn't hear the conversations in the NovaGene lobby.He barely heard his own breathing.His eyes remained fixed on the elderly man standing before Evelyn."My granddaughter."The words echoed through his mind again and again.Granddaughter.He looked from the old man to Evelyn, waiting for someone to laugh and admit it was a misunderstanding.Nobody did.Evelyn stood perfectly still. For the first time since he had seen her sitting at the head of NovaGene's boardroom, genuine emotion crossed her face.Confusion.Then disbelief.Then something softer.The old man stepped closer.His silver hair was neatly combed, his dark suit impeccably tailored. Though he appeared well into his seventies, there was strength in the way he carried himself. His presence demanded attention without raising his voice."Evelyn."She swallowed."...Grandfather?"He smiled gently."It has been far too long."Her eyes glistened, but no tears fell."I thought..." H

  • He Divorced Me Dying, Now I’m His Billionaire Boss   Chapter 22 – The Billionaire Everyone Feared

    The elevator doors opened without a sound.Evelyn stepped onto the executive floor of NovaGene headquarters, dressed in a charcoal-gray tailored suit that fit her like it had been made for her years ago. The employees she passed immediately stood straighter."Good morning, Chairwoman Hart.""Good morning, Ms. Hart."She acknowledged each greeting with a small nod.It had only been one day since the divorce papers had become legally binding, yet everything around her felt different.Not because the world had changed.Because she had.For seven years, she had entered buildings as Adrian King's wife.Today, she entered as Evelyn Hart.No titles borrowed from anyone else.No introductions needed.The reception doors opened automatically.Damien Wolfe was already waiting beside the conference room windows, one hand tucked into his pocket while the other held a tablet."You look better," he observed.Evelyn smiled faintly."I slept.""For the first time in years."She laughed softly."I did

Social media exploded with speculation. Investors searched every article they could find, while business analysts debated how someone who had remained invisible for years could suddenly become one of the most influential women in the industry.Evelyn switched off the television.The silence that followed felt better than listening to strangers discuss her life.She carried her cup of tea onto the apartment balcony. The city stretched beneath her, busy as always, but today it somehow looked different.Or perhaps she was the one who had changed.Her phone vibrated continuously.Unknown numbers.Journalists.Investment firms.Television producers.She ignored every one of them.Another notification appeared.Grace Palmer requesting meeting.She stared at it for several secon

  • He Divorced Me Dying, Now I’m His Billionaire Boss   Chapter 20 – The Divorce Agreement Is Signed

    The rain started just before sunrise.Soft at first.Then steady enough to blur the city skyline into shades of gray.Evelyn stood beside the floor-to-ceiling window in her apartment, a mug of untouched coffee warming her hands. She watched droplets race down the glass, wondering how something so gentle could erase an entire view.Her phone buzzed on the kitchen island.Frank.She answered after the second ring."Good morning."His voice carried an unusual hesitation."They're ready."Evelyn didn't need to ask who."The divorce?""Yes.""He wants to meet at the law office this morning."She remained quiet.Frank sighed."I don't think he expected you to agree this quickly.""He expected me to beg."Frank didn't argue.Because he knew she was right."I'll send you the address.""Thank you."She ended the call and looked at her reflection in the window.For seven years she had introduced herself as Evelyn King.Today, for the last time.She walked toward her bedroom and opened the close
