Winning Back the Husband

The intern whom my CEO wife, Gemma Hawkins, just promotes claims to be a corporate machine. Not only does Leon Hart stay energetic without sleep, but he also has an exceptional mind that can handle multiple roles flawlessly. He even manages to turn a random investment in a declining industry into millions in profit for the company. But I know the truth. His prodigal work ability comes from a linked exchange system that shifts all fatigue, damage, and financial risk onto me. As he gains fame and turns into an up-and-coming elite businessman, I grow thinner, my memory worsens, and I nearly die from exhaustion and anxiety. I go to Gemma and tell her my suspicions, but she lashes out at me, calling me crazy. "If you do not want to work, then resign and give your position to Leo. Don't be petty and slander him behind his back. You are embarrassing me!" To make it up to Leon, she takes back my shares and gives them to him. Then, she demands a divorce and throws me out of the house. After that, she spends 100 million dollars to buy him a house and a car. She even hands over all company investments to him. While all the shareholders wait eagerly, believing they will become millionaires with the company's dividends, I am beaten to death by loan sharks in an abandoned parking lot... When I open my eyes again, I return to the first day Leon makes an investment for the company. This time, I immediately take out a massive loan and invest in a dying industry!

Chapter 1
"Dalton Brown! Do you have any idea how important this bid was to the company? And yet, you actually had the nerve to sing folk songs during the Q&A session! "Had Leo not been there to salvage the situation, who knows how much more of a fool you would've made of yourself and how much embarrassment you would've brought on the company and me?" My wife, Gemma Hawkins, fumed, pointing at my nose in my spacious office.Half an hour ago, Gemma and I had gone to the company's most important tender meeting of the year with an intern and my assistant. When it was my turn to present, I had, as usual, confidently taken the microphone. But when the client had asked a question, I, who should have answered it smoothly and professionally, had instead stumbled over my words before breaking into a folk song. The scene had stunned everyone in the room.Gemma's expression had hardened on the spot, and she had demanded to know what on earth I was doing. I had wanted to explain, but the second I op

Chapter 2
Gemma, who had been furious just a second ago, had instantly switched to a bright smile as she praised Leon. "It's because you're capable that you saved our company, unlike a certain someone, who only knows how to drag everyone down…"In an instant, a tight, suffocating feeling had risen in my chest. Just as I had been about to defend myself, a sharp pain ripped through my head, followed by a flood of memories from my previous life, making my head spin. Instinctively, I had reached out to Gemma for support, but before I could even regain my footing, she had shoved me away and snarled, "Dalton Brown, I told you I hate it when people touch me! Get your hand off me right now!"Caught off guard, I had slammed straight into the corner of the desk. Warm blood had trickled down my forehead, and at that moment, I was certain I had been reborn.In my previous life, Leon had claimed he was a corporate machine. He had claimed he never needed rest, could remain on standby 24 hours a day, and

"This is bad, Ms. Hawkins!" The atmosphere in my office had still been tense and awkward when my assistant came running in, panting. "The two projects Mr. Brown invested in have just crashed. The companies involved were sealed off a moment ago. Our losses are estimated to be over 20 million dollars at the very least!"My heart lurched. Had Leon already bound himself to me ahead of time in this life? Before I could dwell on that, several of the company's shareholders had already rushed in and swarmed me.Ignoring the blood running down my face, one of them yanked me by the collar and demanded, "Back then, you were the one who promised us that these two projects would be profitable! Now that tens of millions of dollars have gone down the drain, tell us, how exactly are you going to compensate us? "First, you pull that stunt at the tender meeting, and now you've caused us to lose this much; what exactly are you up to?! Are you trying to drive us to jump off a building?" While I

Chapter 4
Leon poured me a cup with a sincere expression, but alarm bells were ringing in my head. If I remembered correctly, everything had started going wrong in my previous life right after I drank his coffee. The more times I drank the coffee he served me, the worse my luck became. Initially, I had thought I was just unlucky or cursed. I had even gone to churches to pray for peace and protection. Looking back on it now, that must have been when he had bound me to the exchange system. So, his repeated attempts to bring me coffee afterward weren't out of respect—he was strengthening the exchange.Now that the suspicion had taken root, there was no way I would drink it. "Since your mother left these beans, you should keep them for yourself. It would be a waste to give them to me."The second I refused, tears welled up in Leon's eyes. He was on the verge of tears as he turned toward and asked weakly, "Gemma, does Mr. Brown think my coffee beans aren't good enough for him…"As soon as

Chapter 5
After hearing me out, Shaun's expression became solemn, and he asked if I had a solution. I nodded. "Kind of. But I still need your help."Shaun, as loyal as ever, immediately patted his chest and said, "Just say the word."I already had a rough idea of how Leon's exchange system worked. However, just to be safe, the moment I was discharged from the hospital, I mortgaged all my assets overnight and took out a ten-million-dollar loan for investment.I split all of my money into two portions—one portion I had Shaun invest in declining industries on my behalf, while I used the remaining portion to invest in booming industries, just as I had in my past life. The following day, Leon somehow caught wind of the news regarding my investments. After seeing the amount I had invested, he immediately asked Gemma for tens of millions of dollars and began investing with absolute confidence. Half a month later, just as I expected, the booming industries I had invested in crashed again, and I

I didn't linger by the garbage pile for long. After a quick glance, I went back inside.When Gemma emerged from the bathroom and saw me lowering the empty teacup from my lips, her expression changed drastically. She snapped at me, saying I reeked of alcohol yet still had the nerve to think about sleeping beside her. She called me delusional.Then, she grabbed her bag and keys and left without sparing me another glance. That night, I sat on the couch alone until dawn.By noon the next day, my assistant secretly sent me a message, saying that those two declining projects of Leon's were back on track. Gemma was so delighted that she immediately granted him full investment authority. I let out a derisive chuckle. I had worked at the company for a decade and never even received half of that level of authority, yet she gave Leon the highest level in a heartbeat.But none of that mattered anymore. All I wanted was to break free from the exchange system as soon as possible and divorce Ge

Gemma didn't even bother lowering her voice when she said that. In a heartbeat, everyone's scornful eyes were on me. I looked ashamed as I agreed, "You're right, honey. I'm not even a real man. I should deal with my own debts. I shouldn't drag you down with me…""Since you're aware of that, let's get a lawyer right now and file for divorce. For your information, you're walking away with nothing but the clothes on your back!"I nodded as if I was heartbroken and followed her into the car before driving to the courthouse. By the time we arrived, her lawyer was already waiting at the entrance. He pulled out the divorce agreement he had prepared in advance. "Ms. Hawkins, as instructed, the agreement states that Mr. Brown will leave with nothing to his name and will be fully responsible for all his debts. Should any debt collectors come to your door and harass you, he will also be required to compensate you a million dollars for emotional distress…"The lawyer read each clause alou

Chapter 8
Shaun grew increasingly excited and kept sending me constant updates from the ceremony.Everything was normal until the toast, when the couple got on stage to thank the guests. Leon's expression changed drastically as he abruptly threw away Gemma's hand and sprinted toward the banquet tables with both his hands and feet.He jumped onto one of them and, like a starving rat that hadn't eaten in ages, began stuffing food into his mouth. The sight terrified everyone in the room. Several media outlets reacted instantly, turning their cameras on Leon. The blood drained from Gemma's face, but she still forced herself to stay composed, instructing the security guards to drag Leon away while instructing her assistant to handle the aftermath of the chaotic scene. I stared at my phone, feeling an overwhelming sense of gratification. This was nowhere near enough to make up for everything I had suffered in my previous life, but it was only the beginning. …That very night, Gemma showed up

Chapter 9
Early the next morning, I took my passport and went to the international airport with Amanda. Before boarding, I stumbled upon Gemma on the news, explaining what had happened at the engagement ceremony. Smiling at the cameras, she casually said, "It's his first time investing, and he put his money into declining industries, so he's been under a little more pressure…"I let out a soft chuckle. It looked like even Leon himself hadn't realized he was already facing the backlash. The exchange system could only facilitate the preliminary exchange of risks and determine who could be bound. The actual binding of individuals and the final effects of the exchange still depended on that murky liquid.Leon hadn't known how much risk I could handle, so he tested me bit by bit during the tender meeting. Later, when he realized I could take far more than he expected, he started making me drink that strange coffee more often. The more I drank, the stronger the exchange became, and the faste

Chapter 10
Once he had money, Leon paid dividends to himself using the company account. He took over Gemma's villa and partied day and night without rest. In half a month, Gemma, who had been tortured in the basement until she was nothing but skin and bone, was frequently coughing up blood. While the music in the villa shook the walls, she screamed herself hoarse, yet no one came to her rescue. And just like that, she was chained to the pillar, barely clinging to life, while Leon would come by once a day to bring her a single meal. Days passed by in a blur until one day, when Leon accidentally tripped in the dark, sending the tray crashing to the floor and shattering into pieces. Coincidentally, a sharp ceramic shard slid right to Gemma's feet, and she hastily hid it. Later, when Leon returned with more food, she pretended to be weak and begged him to loosen her restraints so she could stretch. Taking in her current gaunt and emaciated state, Leon let down his guard and unlocked the cha
