Chapter 6

ผู้เขียน: Washing Wheat
He immediately pulled out his phone and called his assistant, his voice urgent.

“Stop all cooperation with Horizon Capital right now. Immediately. Seal every related document.”

After hanging up, he looked at me with an expression too complicated to read.

“Alice, thank you.”

Without Lucas’s call, the mistake Evan had nearly made today would have been enough to drag all of Grant Holdings into disaster.

And the reason he had been so eager to sign that contract at the dinner was because Vivian’s cal

  • Joining My Husband’s Company as an Intern   Chapter 9

    “Alice, I know I was wrong! I truly know I was wrong!“Look, this is the project report I completed.”He pulled a thick stack of documents from his briefcase and shoved them into my hands.“Please give me one more chance, won’t you?“I’ll give you Grant Holdings. I’ll give you my life! Please don’t reject me…”As he spoke, he suddenly fell to his knees, plop, right in front of me.The once-arrogant man now knelt at my feet like a helpless child, sobbing uncontrollably.Inside me, there was only a cold, calm emptiness.“Evan, you’re kneeling far too late.”I looked at him, each word deliberate and clear.“In the cafeteria that day, when I made you kneel, it was out of anger and humiliation. What I wanted then was an attitude. I wanted justice.“But now you kneel to win back someone who has already lost faith in you.”I placed the project report back into his trembling hands.“You are an excellent businessman, but you are not a qualified husband.“The burn on my hand has healed. The scar

    I paused.Only then, looking at the bright yellow on the canvas, did I realize that my painting style had changed without me noticing.Samuel looked at me with a smile in his eyes.“Alice, there’s a gala this Saturday night. Would you be willing to go as my date?”My heart skipped a beat.“Yes.”On the night of the auction, I wore a champagne-colored gown.When we entered the venue, we immediately attracted quite a few looks.“Isn’t that Samuel Shaw, the rising star of the architecture world? Who’s the woman beside him? She’s beautiful.”“I haven’t seen her before, but with that kind of presence, she must be from some prominent family.”We found our seats, and the gala soon began.I was not particularly interested until the final item was brought out.It was a sapphire necklace called Heart of the Deep Sea. Legend had it that a prince had given it to his princess as a token of love a hundred years ago.The opening bid was fifty million.The price climbed rapidly and soon broke one hund

    She lost everything.And all of it happened simply because I had Lucas’s secretary tell a few gossip-loving board members’ wives exactly what had happened in the cafeteria that day.I did not use any illegal means.I simply made sure she paid the price for what she had done.Reaping what you sow is the best punishment.During that time, Evan did not bother me.Not until a week later, when Lucas told me that Evan had gone to the most remote Branch Office under Grant Holdings and started over from the very bottom as a project assistant.The Branch Office was in Ridgeville, a small, struggling city. The conditions were harsh, and the projects had almost no future.A week later, Lucas called me.“Alice, are you doing okay?”I gave a quiet “Mm.”“There’s been a new development with Evan.”Lucas sounded conflicted.“He really went to that Branch Office and started as a project assistant. I sent someone to check on him. He’s living in a tiny employee dorm room, maybe a hundred and fifty squar

    He immediately pulled out his phone and called his assistant, his voice urgent.“Stop all cooperation with Horizon Capital right now. Immediately.

But please give me a little more time. I’ll clean

    The bodyguards behind him tried to step forward, but one look from Lucas’s secretary stopped them cold.Everyone in the cafeteria stared in stunned silence.None of them could have imagined that an ordinary-looking intern could force their high-and-mighty Mr. Grant into such a humiliating position.Vivian looked as pale as death. She clutched Evan’s arm and shook it desperately.“Evan, tell her! Tell her you love me! Tell her we’re getting married soon!”But Evan seemed not to hear her at all. Slowly, he bent down to pick up the divorce agreement from the floor.“Alice, I know I was wrong.”His voice was pleading.“Please give me one more chance. The Bet-on Agreement isn’t over yet. You can’t just sentence me to death like this.”“A chance?”I looked at him.“If I give you a chance, who gives the innocent employees she humiliated a chance? Who gives justice to the hand she burned?”I lifted the back of my hand, still red from the scalding coffee.Evan’s pupils constricted, as if he had

    The moment I finished speaking, the entire cafeteria fell silent.Everyone stared at me as if I had lost my mind.The administrative supervisor, especially, rushed to my side with terror written all over her face.“Alice! Are you insane? Do you even know what you’re saying? A divorce agreement? Hurry up and apologize before Mr. Grant has time to react. Maybe there’s still room to fix this!”Vivian looked as if she had just heard the funniest joke in the world.She crossed her arms and walked toward me step by step in her heels, looking down at me with open contempt.“A divorce agreement? You?”She let out a sneer.“Little intern, at least pick the right occasion for your daydreams. Who do you think you are? You dare order Evan around? Let me tell you, even if you kneel and beg today, you can forget about staying at Grant Holdings!”I ignored them.I simply looked at the time on my phone.Five minutes.The seconds ticked by.The atmosphere in the cafeteria grew suffocating.Vivian’s pat
