My Love's ROI Was 10%, so I Vanished Chapter 9
In her desperation, Abby used the few dollars she made selling junk to buy a cheap carving knife and a block of scrap wood.She tried to carve a ring like the one I had once made for her, hoping to awaken a sliver of my old affection.Her hands, ravaged by severe chilblains and broken bones, couldn't even hold the blade steady.The knife slipped time and again, slicing her flesh until her hands bled, yet she couldn't carve even a decent curve.Dragging her broken leg, she crawled through a rainy night all the way to the luxury care home where Mom was recovering.The pouring rain washed over the filth covering her body.Kneeling in the storm, she tried to pass the blood-stained wooden ring to the gatekeeper. "Please… give this to Johann."The gatekeeper used a stick to flick the scrap wood away in disgust. "What kind of trash is this? Don't block Dr. Aguirre's way."The heavy iron gates slowly slid open.I walked out of the care facility, holding a black umbrella.As if grabbi

Abby's eyes remained locked onto me in the gallery, brimming with desperate pleas.I remained expressionless the entire time, without so much as a glance in her direction.During the recess, I pulled out my phone and dialed the nurses' station.My voice was soft and warm. "How was my mom's appetite at lunch?"Great. Please add a bowl of mild chicken noodle soup for her."After I hung up, my eyes briefly met Abby's hopeless stare.The stark contrast cut into her heart like a dull blade.As the judge struck the gavel, the courtroom fell into utter silence."Defendant Edward Dawson is sentenced to 15 years in prison on multiple charges and ordered to pay ten million dollars in civil damages."Defendant Abby Wright is sentenced to three years in prison. All assets under her name are to be auctioned to settle her debts."The moment the court was adjourned, Edward suddenly lunged at Abby like a rabid dog.Opening his jaw, he sank his teeth deep into Abby's ear.Screams echoed acr

The corridors of the detention center were dark and damp.Wearing a prison jumpsuit, Abby sat inside the visitation room.She used her last phone privilege to contact her personal lawyer, planning to blackmail me using intimate photos and private audio recordings from our past to ruin my reputation online.Her lawyer had barely finished drafting the message when his computer screen instantly went black.A red warning popped up across the display. "Involves top-secret national security asset. Device locked by military."Five minutes later, officers from the National Security Agency burst into the law firm, pinning the attorney to the floor on charges of attempting to leak state secrets.Back in the visitation room, the heavy iron door groaned open.Expecting her lawyer, Abby snapped her head up eagerly.It wasn't a police officer who walked in, but me, wearing a crisp, tailored military uniform.My combat boots struck the concrete floor, echoing with a suffocating heaviness.A

I stopped in my tracks.Looking down at Abby from above, I pulled a calculator from my pocket—the very item she used to cherish most.I stared at her and coldly hit the clear button. The crisp beep echoed sharply in the quiet air."Ms. Wright, your company is currently 80 million dollars in debt. You have zero commercial value and provide negative emotional value. Going by your formula, why on earth would I take over a worthless asset like that?"Abby's pride was crushed into the dirt.Trembling, she reached out, trying to grab the hem of my pants.A sharp female colonel standing beside me kicked Abby's shoulder without a shred of mercy.Abby tumbled backward like a ragdoll.I stepped into a bulletproof sedan without looking back, saying one last thing before the door sealed shut. "Toss her far away. She's an eyesore."…Dazed and broken, Abby dragged herself back to her seized company building.The official seal across the entrance fluttered in the wind.She pushed open th

Abby's face turned as pale as a sheet.She furiously rationalized in her head that the man on TV just happened to look like me.How could a worthless loser with a negative ROI become a chief engineer overnight?That very night, she dialed several high-level officials to verify the core personnel list for Project Solaris.The second the call connected, before she could even finish her sentence, the official on the other end of the line launched into an angry tirade."Are you trying to get me killed, Abby? That man's security clearance is higher than my damn life!"The sharp dial tone hit her nerves like a sledgehammer.She had been blacklisted by every top executive across the entire industry.When it rained, it poured. By the next morning, Edward's substitute R&D firm collapsed into chaos.The product's blatant plagiarism and poor quality caused an explosion in the partner company's equipment.The Federal Trade Commission and police froze the firm immediately.The 30 million

Right at that moment, Abby's phone vibrated furiously inside her purse.It was Rosa calling, her voice choked with tears. "Ms. Wright, the market just opened! Investors are panic-selling because the core tech was pulled! We've lost 100 million dollars in market value!"Abby dropped her purse. An expensive lipstick rolled straight into the pile of black soot.Her breath hitched, and her chest heaved heavily.She forced down the rising panic in her heart.She would never allow such a massive crater in her investment portfolio.Pouring in millions, she hired an army of internet trolls and media accounts.Smear campaigns exploded across trending lists, pinning the entire breach of contract on me. She was aiming to blacklist me from the industry.Edward seized the moment to lean in. "Abby, Johann's tech was never that special to begin with. I just founded an alternative R&D firm. As long as funding is in place, we can easily replace him."Abby clung to him like a lifeline. Overconf
