LOGINI witness my wife, Janice Grant, sleeping in the same room as her childhood friend, Bruce York, in nothing but a skimpy nightgown. But Janice claims that she has gotten bound to a conquest system, so she has to conquer Bruce's heart just so she can complete the mission. I know that this is just a lie Janice has come up with, but I decide to endure her antics for the sake of our daughter, Millie Grant. But one night, Millie lapses into an asthma attack. My father-in-law, Phil Grant, and I rush her to the hospital immediately. Unexpectedly, as soon as we arrive at the hospital, we stumble upon a group of people who are there to cause trouble. Phil ends up getting stabbed in the chest just so he can protect Millie from harm. I quickly call Janice on the spot. But after hearing my explanation, she thinks I'm lying to her. "Evan, I told you I'm in the middle of a mission! If I don't complete it, I'll get punished by the system! Can you stop being so unreasonable?" Despair and rage overwhelm my senses at that moment. Since Janice is adamant on casting her own father and daughter aside for her beloved Bruce, she can forget about inheriting the hundred-million-dollar assets!
View MoreI spent three solid hours walking everyone through the development plan, laying out every detail of the company's roadmap for the next six years.When I finished, it was time for the board to vote. The motion passed unanimously. Just like that, our future direction was set."Now that the development plan is confirmed, let's talk about the matter of ownership," I said calmly, signaling my assistant to hand out documents to each board member. "These are my father-in-law's and mother-in-law's wills, along with the notarized certifications."All of their shares will be left to my daughter, Millie Stark. She will be the company's sole heiress. Until she reaches adulthood, I'll act as her legal guardian and manage the company on her behalf. Does anyone have any objections?"Tom shook his head. "We all trust your ability. No objections."After the meeting, I went back to my office to get some work done. A few minutes later, Janice barged in without knocking. Her eyes were reddened as she
Tom's voice was cold and cutting. "You didn't even know that your own father passed away, after all. I doubt you're shameless enough to demand more than what you've been given."Janice stood there, completely shattered. She felt the board members' contemptuous stares burning into her skin like fire."I understand," she managed. With that, she bolted from the room and stumbled home in a daze.Bruce was in the living room. He rushed over to her and asked, "Janice, why did you go to the company today? What happened?"She studied him quietly, catching the anxious glint in his eyes. Then, she said, "I've been stripped of my position, and my shares have all been transferred to Millie by my dad. I'm broke now. Bruce, will you still have me?""What? Your shares have been taken, and you've been sacked from the company?" Bruce practically exploded at her words. "How could this happen? You're the Grant family's sole heiress! How dare they do this to you? There has to be some kind of mistake,
Janice stood there alone for a long time, until Bruce finally came looking for her. He had already changed out of his tuxedo. He walked over to her and said softly, "Janice, don't be sad. We can start a new family together."She stared at him, but there was no joy in her expression. His gaze flickered as he feigned confusion and said, "We're married now. Aren't you happy?"Janice stayed silent. Too much had happened that day. Her thoughts and mind were in a mess. After a long pause, she finally said dazedly, "I am."Yes, she was supposed to be happy. Bruce was the man she loved with all her heart, and now, they could officially be together. She was supposed to be blissful.So why did her chest hurt so much?…The next morning, before Janice could pull herself out of her downward spiral, she got a call from her secretary, Emily Smith."Ms. Grant, you should come to the office right away. You've been stripped of your position. You're being kicked out of the company.""That's impo
Janice had a bad feeling about this. Her hands shook as she ran out of the bridal suite. As soon as she looked up, she saw it—the giant screen that was supposed to be playing a beautiful wedding montage now showed photos of her in bed with Bruce!Bruce, dressed in a white tuxedo, was shouting hysterically. "Turn it off! Turn the video off! Turn it off now!"But no matter how hard he jabbed at the remote, the screen didn't respond at all. It just kept looping those explicit clips and photos.Janice's best friend stood there trembling as she said, "Janice, it's not just the screen here that's playing this montage. Every screen in the city is playing it! Now, everyone knows that Bruce is the other man, and you're the cheating wife. And it's not just the videos. There's more…"As things played out, I sunbathed on a beach with Millie. I was in a very good mood as I watched the chaos unfold on my phone. I stared at Bruce's ashen face, thinking that the money I'd spent on this live broadc
