I Listened for Once, and He Broke for Good Chapter 10
In the backstage lounge, while I was touching up my makeup in front of the mirror, Victor walked in. He locked the door and shut out the noise from outside."Are you tired?" he asked. He massaged my shoulders with just the right amount of pressure."I'm alright, though my face feels stiff from all the smiling," I replied.I leaned into his arms, savoring the rare moment of tranquility.Victor suddenly dropped to one knee and produced a ring as if by magic. "Ms. Sinclair, the business deal is done."He looked up at me, his eyes shining. "Now, can we talk about our marriage? Although my net worth doesn't match yours anymore, I'm willing to be your stay-at-home husband. I'll do everything—the laundry, the cooking, and taking care of the kids."My eyes welled up with tears. It had been such a long, hard journey to get here. I held out my hand and let him slide the ring onto my ring finger. It fit perfectly.I pulled him up and whispered in his ear, "Mr. Kane, I've received your sinc

Daniel was sentenced to three years in prison, and Kimberley received a one-year sentence as his accomplice. The once-mighty Carter Group officially declared bankruptcy.I acquired the core assets of Daniel's company at a low price and renamed it "NewLife Technology". This was not just a revival of the business, but a personal rebirth for me.After I had drunk too much at the celebration banquet, Victor drove me home.Suggestive jazz music flowed through the car. Fueled by alcohol, I finally asked the question I had long kept buried in my heart. "Victor, why did you help me? Don't tell me it was just to poach me. I don't buy it."Victor remained silent. He pulled over to the curb, took a yellowed photograph from his wallet, and handed it to me.By the streetlight, I could clearly make out the photo. It showed the university library ten years ago, with a young woman napping at a desk and half a loaf of bread beside her. That young woman was me.Victor's voice was soft, carrying a

Daniel was taken away for investigation, and his company's capital chain collapsed entirely.To save themselves, Daniel and Kimberley turned on each other. Seeking to escape conviction, Kimberley leaked that Daniel had instructed her to falsify the accounts. She also exposed his private ledgers documenting his tax evasion and used them to threaten him for money.Daniel flew into a rage and got into a physical fight with Kimberley in the office. An employee recorded the scene and uploaded it online. The once-rising CEO had now become the laughingstock of the internet.But it didn't end there. Daniel's insufferable mother, Amanda Bradford, stormed to the front of Victor's office building. She unfurled a banner and wailed at the top of her lungs. "Margaret Sinclair is an ungrateful traitor! She ruined my son! She deserves a miserable death! Everyone, look! This shameless woman is conspiring with her lover to destroy her own boyfriend!"The gathering onlookers pointed and whispered.

The next day was the industry summit, the city's most prestigious business gathering.In previous years, Daniel would do whatever it took to squeeze into this event, keeping me up all night as he helped me prepare his speeches. This year, however, I wore a haute couture gown Victor had given me and stood at the center of attention while linking arms with him.Under the spotlights, countless people stepped forward to toast me."Ms. Sinclair, I heard that you joined Kane Group. We look forward to working with you in the future.""Ms. Sinclair is a legendary professional. Mr. Kane certainly has a keen eye for talent."Major clients who had once been Daniel's switched their allegiances one after another. They never cared about Daniel's shell company; they only respected my reputation.Just then, a commotion broke out at the entrance. Daniel and Kimberley tried to force their way inside, both looking completely disheveled. Daniel had dark circles under his eyes and was covered in roug

Daniel cowered the moment he saw Victor. Victor was a legend in the industry, a titan Daniel desperately wanted to flatter but could never even meet.Daniel stammered, his arrogance vanishing instantly, replaced by a sycophantic grin. "M-Mr. Kane? What brings you here? This is just an internal company dispute—"Victor didn't even spare him a glance. He looked down to adjust my collar, his voice gentle, as if he were soothing a child. "Did they mistreat you?"I shook my head, though my eyes stung slightly. "No, I just fought back."Victor chuckled softly, but his gaze turned icy the moment he faced Daniel. "Mr. Carter, who did you say you were going to blacklist?"Cold sweat poured down Daniel's face as he pointed at Victor and me, his fingers trembling. "W-What's the relationship between you two? Margaret Sinclair! So you already had another job lined up! This is corporate espionage!"He acted as if he had found a lifeline, trying to take the moral high ground to accuse me.I ho

The entire room went silent. Kimberley's face turned ghostly pale in an instant, and the wine glass in her hand fell and shattered on the floor with a sharp crack. Daniel's smile froze, then his face darkened.What I played was a recording of Kimberley promising kickbacks to clients, leaking the company's bottom prices, and even embezzling corporate funds to secure her deals.Daniel lunged forward in fury, trying to snatch the microphone away. "Turn it off! Shut it down right now!"I sidestepped his rush and grabbed a thick stack of documents nearby. It was all the evidence of Kimberley's falsified accounts that Victor had given me the night before.A sharp smack echoed through the hall. I slapped the documents into Daniel's face. The papers flew into the air, fluttering down in a storm of white."Mr. Carter, take a good look at your new director. Is this the 'performance' you're so proud of?" I asked.Daniel scrambled to catch a few pages, his hands trembling more violently with
