Left at the Altar, I Left Him With Nothing Chapter 8
I kept my promise to strip Anton of everything and reclaim everything I had ever given him.When the trial began half a month later, I didn't even bother to appear in court myself. Dad's top-tier attorney represented me instead.In the solemn, imposing courtroom of Starbury's Supreme Court, everyone held their breath. The judge's steady voice echoed through the courtroom. "Upon investigation, the defendant Anton Solomon has been ascertained to have fabricated a marital relationship with Myrtle Wade with the purpose of illegal possession and defrauded her of substantial assets."He abused his managerial position and embezzled Everglade Group assets. He embezzled exceptionally large funds. At the crime scene, he intentionally condoned acts of violence against Myrtle Wade in a display of extreme cruelty."The judge paused for a second before shifting his sharp gaze to the defendant's dock. "In summary, the court sentences Anton Solomon to 12 years in prison!"Anton's face was drain

The giant screen immediately shifted to show a personal profile."Myrtle Wade is the only daughter of Christopher Wade, the wealthiest man in Starbury. She graduated with honors from a world-renowned arts academy and is the sole heiress to Everglade Group."Simultaneously, the screen played an interview clip of me attending The Global Financial Summit, followed by a photo of Mom, the queen of pop, smiling with her arm around me at The Golden Awards.The hall erupted in shock.The villagers who had just been hurling insults, calling me a mistress, a secretary, and a slut who sold my body, were now deathly pale. Their legs turned to jelly, and some simply collapsed onto the floor."S-She really is the daughter of Starbury's wealthiest man!""We're doomed! Just look at who we've offended!""A-Are we going to prison? Are we going to die?"Callie was the first to react. She violently shoved Anton away and pointed straight at him, screaming, "Anton lied to me! He never told me he was

The force behind Jarek's kick was so great that he sent the men flying several feet back and crashing into the champagne tower.With my torn clothes barely covering my body, I was helped up to my feet by two female bodyguards. An expensive, tailored suit jacket was immediately draped over my shoulders.Anton had a livid expression. He glared at Jarek and finally snapped out of his shock. "Have you all lost your minds? I'm your boss and the one who called you here!"Idiots! Can't you even recognize who pays your salaries?"George echoed his sentiments. "Security! Throw all these troublemakers out!"However, the hotel guards didn't budge an inch. In fact, they quietly took two steps back and watched coldly.George raised his eyebrows high and berated, "Are you deaf? I'm the manager! How dare you ignore my orders!"That was when heavy, synchronized footsteps echoed from outside the hall. Dad's private legal team and the company's senior executives filed into the hall in perfect ord

The face of George Bellweather, the hotel manager, slowly came into focus. A flicker of hope stirred in me.George once worked under my dad and had practically watched me grow up. When Dad handed the hotel to me, he had entrusted George to look out for me.Back then, George had been filled with humility and deference, vowing to serve me with absolute loyalty.Now seeing me in such a wretched state, he paled in fright. Even his voice trembled as he asked, "What on earth is happening here?""Mr. Bellweather, this mistress stormed Mr. Solomon's wedding and caused a scene. We're just furiously standing up for him by teaching her a hard lesson.""Everything was done with Mr. Solomon's approval. You can ask him yourself if you don't trust us."Anton could only nod stiffly.George stood frozen and torn, glancing between Anton and me. As if he suddenly made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and began backing toward the exit, step by step."She offended Mr. and Mrs. Solomon. He was well

"It's obviously fake! Anyone can run their mouth," someone said with a scoff. "We've watched Anton grow up, so we know for sure what type of man he is.""Since she claims the hotel's hers, why not claim his entire company too while she's at it?"A timid female voice piped up. "But I've seen the brand of her clothes online. It's an insanely expensive luxury label, and even Callie has never worn anything like that…"Callie immediately shot the woman a furious glare. "This is your first time coming to the city, so what do you even know about branded labels?"We're from the same village. Now, you're taking a stranger's side?"The woman shrank back and was too terrified to speak another word.Satisfied, Anton withdrew his gaze and grabbed Callie's hand. Then, he raised it high to display the dazzling matching rings on their ring fingers to the entire hall.Looking down at me as if I were a complete loser, he asked, "Myrtle, you claim that today was supposed to be our wedding day, but

Some people were annoyed by my defiance and advised Anton. "If you ask me, you're way too soft on your staff. Who gave a secretary the nerve to cause trouble at your wedding?"If I were you, I'd fire her on the spot and teach her a lesson about her place."The dinner hall buzzed in agreement.Anton turned to look at me as if he were genuinely reprimanding an employee. "I can't possibly keep you as my secretary now that you've caused such a scene. "But considering your years of service for the company and the fact that you've put in the time, even if you've achieved nothing, I'll transfer you to a branch office. I won't actually cut off your livelihood and starve you."If you keep pushing your luck, I won't hesitate to fire you."His approach earned him a round of applause."Anton surely is a generous, big-hearted boss. He's even willing to give a woman like her a chance."Instead of appreciating his so-called magnanimous act, I let out a cold laugh. "Fire me? Well, go ahead. I
