I Was Done Being A Fool Chapter 9
Chris started with nothing. The starting funds came from the marriage savings my mother left for me. Though I was just a financial director cum assistant, my signatures were on the company's core business and every single major deal. That went on for ten years.I loved him, and I thought a couple should work as one, so I did not care about material wealth. But since our relationship had been severed, I would take every single cent back. And so, Zimmer Group's top legal team took over the dispute.The court quickly froze Chris' remaining liquid assets and seized his estates. I was the one to put the last straw on the proverbial camel's back.When he got the court summons, Chris was in his seized and empty office, drunk and smashing everything like a madman.Again and again he called and texted me. At first, he furiously demanded, "How could you? The company belongs to you too! Are you just going to watch it die?"In the end, he pleaded in despair, "Queenie, I'm sorry. I'm really

After three days of quiet recovery, my mother finally healed. Hector picked us up himself on discharge day. When we got home, restorative dishes were already waiting for her, all carefully prepared to help her regain her strength. He even had the Zimmers' family physician stationed at home.As my mother slowly healed, I felt a weight finally lifted off my shoulders. For some reason, Chris did not show up again. I thought he had gotten the message and backed off.However, I underestimated his arrogance and childish attitude. …A week after my mother was discharged, I went back to work and heard my colleagues gossiping animatedly in the pantry."Did you hear? Shaw Group's going around fighting Zimmer Group for projects. Yeah, the construction materials company.""Are they insane? They aren't even in Zimmer Group's league.""Beats me. Heard they pushed the price down by 30% just to snipe the supply for the south side. They're making negative gains!""And then there's the bid fo

"Married. Legally…" Chris kept muttering the same thing over and over again. His face had gone completely white, and his body swayed slightly as though he could barely stay upright.Then, his head jerked up, and he looked at me stubbornly. As if he wanted to convince himself, he said, "No. You'd never fall for another man in just a single month. I won't give up. I know you won't forgive me now, but I can wait. At least give me another chance."I said nothing. Chris wanted to say something, but in the end, he looked at me quietly and left. After he disappeared into the corner, Hector asked quietly, "Did that hit you hard?"I knew exactly what he meant. I shook my head. "I don't feel anything."He chuckled and sat me down on the bench in the lounge. He pierced the lid of the cup with a straw and handed the drink to me.Our fingers brushed, and warmth seeped from his hand into mine. I looked up at the tall, aloof man beside me. And suddenly, my thoughts drifted backward. Hector

Hector did the paperwork, while I stood outside the ER alone, my hands cold. The doctors came out a while later. "Mr. and Mrs. Zimmer, the patient fainted due to acute arrhythmia and agitated emotions. She's not in any danger. We've hooked her up to an IV and she's sleeping. She'll be fine after a few days of rest."I could finally feel at ease. The strength drained from my body, and I sank onto the long bench outside the ward.After sitting there for a while, I got up to see my mother. However, before I reached the door, I caught sight of a familiar figure at the far end of the corridor—Chris.He actually followed us all the way here. He was watching me in silence from a distance. I ignored him, looked away, and went into the ward. I held my mother's hand for a long, long time. When she finally fell asleep, I walked out quietly.Chris was still in the same spot, leaning against the wall and staring at me. But he stood up when I came out and called out to me, "Queenie."I st

"Hector Zimmer?" Chris' voice rose, and he stared at Hector in disbelief. Everyone in Seapolis' business world knew of Hector Zimmer. Hector Zimmer was the sole head of Zimmer Conglomerate—a ruthless, efficient businessman whose reputation carried weight even among the city's elite.The people who were laughing at us went quiet at the same time. They exchanged looks and did not even move a muscle. Everyone knew the Zimmers were powerful in Seapolis. One word from Hector, and their families' business would be destroyed.Hector did not even spare them a glance. He crouched slightly in front of me and gently wiped the tears from my face. "Are you hurt?"I shook my head, but the tears would not stop. I grabbed the front of his coat. "Please, Hector. Save my mom."The driver opened up the backseat door. Hector and I helped my mother get in. My hands were shaking as I asked, "How long until we get to the hospital?""Everything's arranged. They'll check on her once she gets there." He

Chris switched on the speakerphone, and the person who spoke was my mother."You were in a hurry and left the flowers behind. Can't go to that photoshoot without flowers, you know. Are you still queueing up? I'll be right there."…Not long afterward, my mother appeared carrying a bouquet of white roses. She hurried towards me, but the moment she noticed the crowd gathered around us, her steps slowed. She moved closer to my side and looked at Chris warily. "What's going on? I thought you'd broken up."Before I could say anything, Chris sneered. "She's just throwing a tantrum. You can't take her seriously. Who'd be blind enough to date her?"My mother's face fell. "My daughter broke up with you a month ago. Stop harassing her, or we'll call the cops!"The crowd jeered at us. Selina stepped up and laughed sardonically. "I know Queenie loves to lie, but why are you playing along? Oh, right, you're a liar too, so of course she grows up to be like you. How shameful. The whole city kno
