She Gave My Gold to Him Chapter 9
The wedding came around soon after. It was a grand and lively affair, arranged exactly the way 17-year-old Gracie had dreamed."You remember it all."She was moved to tears and pulled me into a kiss.I smiled without saying anything. Even I was surprised. Years had passed, and I thought I had forgotten all about it. But while planning the wedding, the memories came flooding back with perfect clarity.I remembered sitting with her on the couch at home after our engagement, watching a wedding on TV and excitedly discussing the details for our future wedding someday."Marriage is a sacred milestone. Once you choose to be together, you don't let each other down."I could still recite the way Gracie had said those words in that calm, almost matter-of-fact tone. She had lived by them ever since.Although my marriage with Susie failed, I never doubted the meaning of marriage. If I had, I wouldn't be able to take Gracie's hand again and walk with her into our new life.When our kiss en

This time, Susie looked even worse than before.Because the court found her responsible for the breakdown of the marriage, she was awarded only a small portion of the marital assets.Andrew and Betty refused to accept the ruling and protested, but their objections were dismissed. They could only sit there and grumble under their breath.Susie, however, kept her head down and said nothing. Only after the hearing did she look back at me from a distance, her gaze longing and reluctant.None of that made me go back.Later, I heard from former coworkers that Susie had been ordered to pay a large sum in damages after the divorce. She sold her house and car, borrowed money from every relative she could, and even sold a kidney before she could finally cover the debt.Losing a kidney left her in even worse health. And with her reputation ruined, no company was willing to hire her. She couldn't even find a decent job.In the end, she had no choice but to wash dishes and scrub plates along

I drove Gracie home and walked her to the front door. She looked at me a little shyly. "I only said all that because I wanted her to stop bothering you. You're not offended by it, are you?"I shook my head. "Of course not. I should thank you instead."She gave me a sly smile. "What if I meant every word I said, then?"I froze, then smiled bitterly. "Gracie, I—""Don't give me the I'm-not-good-enough excuse. I don't want to hear it. It's okay if you're not ready to accept me right now. I can wait. It's just that this time, I'm not going to give up so easily."As soon as she finished, as if afraid I would reject her further, she opened the car door and hurried outside. The sight of her graceful figure brought me straight back to our teenage years.Back then, the Lloyds and Cohens had arranged our engagement. It wasn't that I had no feelings for her. I just thought she was too reserved. She treated me the same way she treated everyone else.If I had to put that feeling into words,

Susie looked terrible. Dark circles sat under her eyes. Her hair was as dry as hay, and she looked drastically older than before.Tears streamed down her face the moment she saw me. She grabbed my hand, telling me how her world had turned upside down.Business partners were canceling their contracts one after another and demanding compensation. Customers were flooding them with refund requests and filing complaints.Now that it was under investigation, the company had been ordered to suspend operations temporarily for rectification.People were constantly showing up at her house and her parents' place to cause trouble. The stress had caused her to have countless sleepless nights. Insomniac and overwhelmed, she was on the verge of losing her mind."That bastard John took the money that was left and ran. He left me alone to deal with the shareholders and clean up his mess," she said, tears pouring down her cheeks. "I'm just so tired!"Susie looked at me with desperate hope. It was

Reporters at the event frantically captured the whole explosive scene, then rushed toward Susie and John with microphones raised. The venue descended into pure chaos.Andrew and Betty tried to shield Susie, but they were shoved aside by the crowd and sent tumbling to the floor. No one paid them any attention.Susie stared at the rapidly plunging stock price on her phone and ultimately passed out from the shock, leaving the inexperienced John to face the media alone.He stammered through his answers, repeatedly falling into the reporters' traps and inadvertently exposing more inside information. If anything, he poured more fuel on an already raging scandal.The shareholders were furious when they saw the news."John is a fool! How could the CEO have picked someone like him?""Where's Skyler? Get him here! We need him to handle the crisis. He was always in charge of this kind of thing before."Everyone hurried to call me, only to discover that every number they had for me was bloc

The next morning, my best friend bombarded me with calls until I finally woke up. That was when I found out the incident last night had blown up online.People were calling me all kinds of names for harassing a female coworker. I was being branded as a disgrace to the industry, and several companies had even blacklisted me.Worst of all, even my family was doxxed.I knew this was Susie's warning. Shaking with rage, I called home and ensured my family was okay. Only then did I sigh in relief.I looked around our once-cozy home, filled with memories of the life we once shared. Now, I felt sick to my stomach. I gathered everything that reminded me of her and threw it all away.Then I contacted a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement as quickly as possible before storming back to the office.When I arrived, I was told that all my projects had been handed over to John, who had just been promoted to department manager. I even lost my title as the designer."Sorry, Mr. Lloyd. From now on
