Chapter 5

Author: Quinn Cherie
Three days later, we had the ceremony to formalize the partnership of our company with the investing company, TR Group.

The president of TR Group, Gabriel Montag, delayed the signing when he realized that I was not there.

Magnus’ face darkened. He was forced to wait along with Gabriel.

When I got out of the car, the crowd of reporters quickly aimed their cameras at me.

“Miss Flynn, are the photos in the entrepreneurial group chat real?”

“Was this partnership with TR also something you slept your way into?”

“We know that you’ve been in a relationship with Mr. Baird for eight years. Does he know what you’ve been doing?”

From afar, I saw Alyssa standing next to Magnus. She was smiling at me in delight. I knew she was trying to provoke me.

It was as if she were waiting for me to beg her for mercy.

Unfortunately for her, she would never see me debase myself like that in her lifetime.

I stepped over to Magnus’ side. When he looked over at me, his stern expression shifted. “It’s good that you’ve made the right decision, Rhiannon.”

Before I could say anything, Magnus stood up and announced, “Friends of the media, I hereby announce that Miss Alyssa Cillian will be the Baird Group’s vice president!”

As everyone snickered and enjoyed the show, I walked onstage with a neutral expression. I spotted Gabriel, who had been quiet all this time.

Then, I held my chin up and said decisively, “It is true that I have been in a relationship with Mr. Magnus Baird for the past eight years. However, we broke up two days ago.”

Instantly, the smile on Magnus’ face vanished. He rushed forward to shut me up, but Gabriel’s bodyguards stopped him and held him in place.

I smiled and met his furious eyes.

I continued, “As for the fake photos and rumors about me in the group chat, I will be reaching out to the justice system. I have already given the evidence to the police, and I’m sure I will be able to reveal the truth of the matter one day.”

When I finished speaking, Gabriel walked over to me. Without hesitation, he announced, “TR Group will be pulling the investment that it promised the Baird Group. We will also be completing a complete buy-out of the Baird Group within a month!”

    Gabriel came with me as I was escorted safely to the police station to give my statement. The police said that Magnus had committed a huge crime, so he was definitely going to prison. The next day, Gabriel bought out the Baird Group. In a short two days, the Baird Group disappeared from the city. Magnus was sentenced to five years in prison, and Ina became greatly worried and dejected. She came to see me at the company many times and hoped that I would drop the charges and let things go. “I only have one son! Have mercy, Rhiannon. Let Magnus out!”I was numb as I watched her sob. “Ina, Magnus wanted to kill me. I can’t just let him go.”Seeing that I was not going to relent, Ina pointed and cursed at me. She called me heartless and accused me of cheating on Magnus. She tried to humiliate me in front of passersby. But everyone knew what Magnus had done, so they did not believe the ravings of an old, arrogant woman. I told the security guards to escort Ina away. Before

    “I’m giving you one last chance, Magnus. Let me go and we’ll both be even.”Magnus’ hand slid down. It would soon reach between my legs. Magnus let out a laugh. “We’ll be even? How would we ever be even? I’ve lost my company, my money, and now, my wife!”I did my best to squeeze my legs shut, but I could not overpower him. Magnus pulled the camera closer and enjoyed my desperation.“How many times have I gone along with you? For you, I was willing to send Alyssa away and swear to be loyal to you forever. But you’re so heartless that you wouldn’t even give me a chance!“That awful Gabriel ruined the Baird Group just to show that he’s loyal to you. He bought out all other snobby people. Well then, let’s both go to hell together!”With a loud rip, Magnus ripped apart the last piece of fabric covering me. I felt helpless as tears streamed down my face. Just as I thought that I would not survive this, the warehouse door flung open. “Put down your weapon, or I’ll shoot!”Many g

    Gabriel gestured to the bodyguards behind him, and they escorted Magnus away. I let out a breath. I was about to get out of the car to thank Gabriel when he opened the door and got in.Confused, I watched as he leaned toward me. I held my breath and anxiously grabbed his arm. He stopped just two inches away from me and chuckled. “How will you thank me for getting rid of your ex for you, Miss Flynn?”Those directly outside could see how close we were. Magnus became even more outraged. “It’s no wonder you want to break up, Rhiannon! You’ve seduced TR Group’s president! And here I thought you were a good woman! You’re just as dirty as the rest of them!”His words pierced straight into my heart. It seemed that only cruel words were left of our love. I closed my eyes. Before my tears could fall, Gabriel put his hands over my ears.Gabriel looked at me and said, “You’re a great person, Rhiannon. He’s not worthy of you.”He said it so sincerely that I believed it. After tha

    “What can Alyssa even do for you? I think she’s just here to make trouble! You’re a fool to do this to Rhiannon!”Panicked, Magnus grabbed my shoulder. At this point, he finally accepted reality. “Do you really want to break up? Rhiannon, we’ve been together for eight years! There’s no way another man would want you now! We’re practically married after being together for eight years! You should calm down and think about this. If you hate Alyssa so much, I’ll send her abroad. You’ll never have to see her again!”His words disgusted me. “How do you expect me to forgive you, Magnus? You created fake photos of me and put them in a group chat! So many people cursed and laughed at me! Did you even consider the relationship we had when you did that?”At that point, I suddenly thought of the document in my bag. I took it out and threw it in his face. “I had someone track the IP address. I now have enough proof that you were the one behind it. Next week, I expect to see a million dolla

    Magnus looked panicked. He suddenly fell to his knees before me.“There’s something else I need your help with, Rhi!”The way he was debasing himself and begging so piteously attracted the attention of passersby. Someone brought out their phone to start recording. I was worried that things would escalate, so I quickly helped Magnus up. “Just spit it out!”Magnus finally smiled. He used that opportunity to grab my hand. “I knew you still had feelings for me, Rhi!”I did not respond. I could not be bothered to argue with him. “My mom saw the news and had a heart attack. I’ve been taking care of her at the hospital for the past few days.”He wiped his tears away pitifully. “She’s in bad shape and wants to see you. Can you help me out?”Magnus lost his father when he was young, and his mother raised him alone. I was not a fan of his mother’s blunt and unrefined way of carrying herself. But when it came down to it, she was worthy of some sympathy. In a moment of weakness, I sa

    The news of TR Group pulling its investment from the Baird Group spread quickly on the internet. Once they got the news, the Baird Group’s other partner companies quickly called them. “What? Mr. Wendell is canceling our partnership next quarter, too?”Magnus trembled as he hung up. He stumbled and nearly lost his balance. Then, he looked at me viciously. “Look at what you’ve done, Rhiannon!”It was not just this news that blew up online. The news of my being cheated on after eight years with Magnus also ignited the sympathy of netizens. Magnus became known as a dirty cheat. The image of the company, and of Magnus, was completely ruined. Thus, it was no surprise that Magnus was having a breakdown.I ignored Magnus’ furious gaze and let the bodyguards escort me into a lounge. Soon after, the lounge door opened, and Gabriel came in. “That was quite a show.”He applauded as he walked to sit beside me. He looked bemused.I calmly drank some tea before looking up at him. I a
