로그인After his female assistant crashed her car into my sister, my CEO fiancé, the man who once adored me beyond reason, swore he would make her pay. However, instead of punishing her, he promoted her to my position at work. He claimed that the higher she climbed, the harder she would fall. He spent millions at an auction to buy her a bracelet and even bought her dog a luxury mansion as a kennel. Every time, he told me the same thing: it was all part of his revenge plan and that I needed to endure it a little longer. My sister suffered a brain hemorrhage caused by complications from the accident and urgently needed surgery. Desperate, I begged my fiancé to return the salary he had managed for me over the years. He agreed and told me to get his assistant's approval for the withdrawal. When I submitted the request, she rejected it for incomplete documentation. After I finally gathered everything she asked for, she smiled, said office hours were over, and told me to come back tomorrow. My sister died before tomorrow could come. Only then did my fiancé call to comfort me. “Tell Dolly to wait a few more days for her surgery. Everything I’m doing is to get revenge on Sylvia and avenge Dolly. During her celebration banquet the day after tomorrow, I’ll take back everything I gave her and ruin her completely. After that, we’ll get married. You and Dolly will finally be happy.” By then, I finally understood. His so-called revenge was nothing more than an excuse for the way he indulged and favored his assistant. When my sister died, whatever remained between us died with her.

I caught Grayson’s wrist and, in the same motion, swung my free hand across his face.“Grayson, are you done yet?!”Grayson clutched his cheek, staring at me in disbelief. His eyes were full of shock and hurt.“Jade, you hit me? You actually hit me for another man? You used to not even be able to bear speaking harshly to me…”My expression stayed ice-cold.“And? Weren’t you the one who didn’t cherish that back then? Why bring it up now?”I turned away without sparing another glance at him, took Evan’s hand, and walked off without looking back.The banquet ended in chaos, and the crowd gradually dispersed.Everyone assumed Grayson would finally give up after this. No one expected him to keep trying in every possible way over the next few days.He blocked my door with lunches he made just for me, showed up downstairs at my office with roses, and publicly confessed to me over and over, beggin
“I’ll do the dare on his behalf.”The crowd erupted in shock.I walked up to Evan and lowered my voice.“Sorry, Mr. Quinn.”I opened my arms, about to pull him into an embrace…A voice suddenly rang out from the entrance.“What are you doing? Stop it!”In the next instant, a shadow cut between us. It was Grayson.We had spent quite some time apart. He looked completely worn down, his hair messy with dark circles under his eyes. There was no trace of his former polished appearance.I was a little surprised.“Grayson, what are you doing here? Weren’t you supposed to be in prison?”His eyes reddened as he grabbed my hand.“Jade, don’t you remember? Today is my release date.“I haven’t even eaten since getting out. I rushed here to see you, yet you’re here getting close to another man?“I’m your boyfriend. How could you do this to me?!”I shoved him away without hesitation.“Grayson, we broke up six months ago. What boyfriend are you talking about?”Grayson’s pupils contra
Besides that accusation, Sylvia even exposed Grayson’s financial fraud in order to protect herself, hoping the police would take him in and let her off the hook.Grayson never expected Sylvia to stab him in the back. His face twisted with rage.“Sylvia, I treated you so well. How dare you betray me?!“You ungrateful wretch! I should’ve let Jade report you when you first hit her sister with that car!”“Do you think you’re any better, playing both sides? No wonder Jade dumped you!”The two of them escalated from shouting to a full-blown physical fight. In the end, the police had to step in and drag both of them away.Sylvia’s betrayal did not surprise me at all.Her character had always been rotten. It was just Grayson’s favoritism that made her seem like an angel.After enjoying the spectacle, I was about to leave the group chat when I saw a flood of unread messages from Grayson.[Jade, I’m sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have lied to you, favored Sylvia, or let her harm Dolly.
I knew that Grayson’s attempt to keep me was not really about me. It was about binding me to him, tying my interests to his so he could manipulate me and pressure me into withdrawing the lawsuit.I put on a faint smile.“Whether you knew about it or not, my resignation was handled legally and properly. From a legal standpoint, it’s valid. Grayson, I’ve already left. You can’t manipulate me by talking about what’s ‘right’ anymore.”Realizing his leverage had failed, Grayson let out a choked sound. I could faintly hear him clenching his teeth on the other end of the line.“Jade, you’re not young anymore, and the job market is terrible right now. What decent job would you even be able to find without me? Who else would want you besides me?”At that moment, the airport announcement suddenly rang out.“Passengers on flight MG2635 to Freedonia, please proceed to boarding…”Grayson froze for a moment.“Boarding? You’re going abroad?”I let out a cold laugh.“Yes. I forgot to tell yo
