Today happens to be Yvonne Ziegler's birthday. Yvonne is Shawn Jacobson's, my husband's, newly hired personal assistant. Shawn spares no expense in buying her a villa as a birthday present, and Yvonne haughtily takes to social media to show off on the day she moves in. "I'd like everyone to know that I'm married to a wealthy man now." Shawn comments on the post, saying, "Happy birthday, my beloved Yvonne!" In the picture, Shawn's hand rests intimately on Yvonne's slender waist, leaving no doubt about their intimate relationship. In that instant, the company's group chat erupts into a frenzy of notifications, as colleagues declare their envy of Yvonne and heap praise upon her for being young and accomplished. Oscar Jagger, my childhood friend, notices the picture and immediately tags me in the group chat. He then sends me a pointed, teasing message, saying, "Shawn's display of love is so glaring! Congrats on being cheated on, Leslie!" I manage a bitter, wry smile, taking my time to type out the response. "Do you need a villa as well, Oscar? I'm happy to give you a place—a much nicer one than Shawn's, of course."

He Gifted Her a Home, I Gave Him a Divorce Chapter 8
In a single night, Jacobson Group officially became part of Reed Group. Additionally, all other companies under the Reed family were simultaneously designated as Reed Group affiliates. In just one month, the newly structured Reed Group secured close to a thousand international deals.I differed from Shawn in that I was never fond of the social side of business. I relinquished control of Reed Group once its position was stable in the domestic market, delegating all my responsibilities to others. I then retreated to the Reed residence to finally enjoy a life of leisure.I agreed to meet Shawn for one last time before leaving the spotlight for good. He immediately dropped to his knees, pleading through sobs for reconciliation. "I know it's all my fault, so can we please return to how things were before, Leslie?"I had never witnessed such deference or desperation from him before. I mused that he might genuinely feel remorseful. But regrettably, the time for reconciliation had long

I had already done my part in the "show", so I merely turned and executed a graceful exit, ignoring the gazes of the reporters trained on me. "What was the primary motivation behind your decision to acquire Jacobson Group, Ms. Reed?""How is it that you were able to lie low for so long and then, seemingly out of nowhere, become such a powerhouse in the business world, Ms. Reed?""Where did you source the ten-billion-dollar funding required for the Jacobson Group acquisition, Ms. Reed?"I responded to the barrage of consecutive questions, answering every single one of them.Shawn and Yvonne, on the other hand, were utterly dumbfounded, quickly finding themselves jostled and pressed into a corner by the surging crowd. Yvonne repeatedly shook her head. "That can't be true! How could a mere gold digger like her acquire Jacobson Group?"Shawn was consumed by deep, festering doubt as he watched me being encompassed by the throng. He could never permit me—a mere gold digger in his mi

Shawn reached into his bag and pulled out an adoption form.I shuddered at the thought of the disastrous outcome I would have suffered if I hadn't seen his messages with Yvonne that night. I merely smiled wryly, saying, "I'll go back with you, then."I had stepped into their trap on purpose. I decided to go along with it since they were determined to manipulate me. I was fully determined to see who would ultimately meet their doom in this game. I quickly winked at Oscar, who instantly grasped my intention and stopped his direct hostility toward Shawn.Shawn's face broke into a noticeable grin. "I knew you always had my back, Leslie. I need you to think of a way out of this mess since that investor backed out of our recent project collaboration."I smiled faintly, saying, "I'll take care of it."In the following week, Shawn closed an unprecedented deal for Reed Group. His corporate standing climbed dramatically, nearly making him a peer of the board's chairman. His reputation a

Shawn sounded really angry on the other end of the line."I have no idea what you're talking about, Shawn," I replied before letting out a yawn and paying him no attention thereafter.I was just about to end the call when his fury flared up again. "I had a fight with you, and the very next moment, the key investor on the most vital deal Reed Group entrusted to me abruptly withdrew their funding. You can't deny that this has nothing to do with you, Leslie!"I retorted coldly, "So you do remember that it was a project you were supposed to handle, huh? How is that any of my business, then?"Shawn responded with a tone that suggested complete entitlement. "You always handled all my projects before, didn't you? Who else should I turn to if not you since there's a crisis brewing, Leslie?"I found his statement utterly preposterous. I couldn't even fathom the kind of bizarre logic that led him to such a conclusion. "You and I are officially divorced, so don't call to pester me again, Sha
