After hanging up, I grabbed a file I'd prepared days ago from my desk drawer and handed it to Jacob."Get this over to the white-collar crime division and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Also, put Plan B in motion. Transfer all the cash flow from the subsidiaries we acquired earlier and fight back with everything we've got."Since Abigail wants to play hardball in the business world, then I'll show her how it's really played."The next three days were all-out war.Thanks to my tip, Abigail's prized overseas funds were frozen in an instant.The money she'd dumped into the stock market got crushed under the weight of my cash flow, leaving her with nothing.On top of that, she was now under formal police investigation for suspected stock market manipulation and money laundering.A week later, Abigail was arrested.However, instead of being sent to prison, she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital.That was because she'd completely lost her mind at the time of her arrest.

The guests below finally snapped out of their shock, and the previously quiet banquet hall instantly erupted into chaos, with whispered murmurs turning into loud jeers and discussion."Oh my god, Abigail actually dared to cheat even after signing such an agreement. She totally brought it on herself.""Nathaniel sure plays hardball. He went straight for the jugular.""Serves Abigail right for flaunting Dominic in front of Nathaniel. Now look—not only is she left with nothing, but she's also drowning in debt.""This is going to be good. How's she going to pay off a two-billion-dollar debt?"I smiled and looked at Abigail with pity in my eyes. "Darling, I just took back what was mine. Only this time, you've lost completely."Abigail's composure was finally shattered."You must be insane. You're so twisted that you'd scheme against me, your own wife? You're mentally ill. I'll have you locked up in a psychiatric hospital."The moment I heard the words "psychiatric hospital", my gaze

"What did you say?" Abigail's hand jerked, nearly making her drop the phone."Jacob, have you lost your mind? I'm Abigail Jefferson, the CEO. How dare you betray me?""Ms. Jefferson, please conduct yourself appropriately. I am currently reporting to Mr. Thayer."Jacob hung up immediately after speaking.The dial tone echoed through the silent banquet hall, each ring landing like a resounding slap.Abigail stood frozen in place.Then, she frantically called the bank and the CFO, Todd Becker."Hello? This is Abigail Jefferson. Check why my account shows it's frozen.""Hello! Todd? What happened to the company's working capital? What do you mean it's been transferred out? Transferred to whom?"On the other end of the line, all that came back was the mechanical, cold dial tone or the despair-inducing reply."There's been an anomaly in your account.""The working capital has been totally cleared out."The phone slipped from Abigail's hand and hit the floor with a heavy thud.

When Dominic realized I wasn't falling for it, his eyes darted shiftily before he suddenly shouted, "Everyone, please be the judge here."Nathaniel puts on a show of being supportive of this fake wedding, and yet just the other day, he came to the store and deliberately tore my suit. I'd like to point out that this suit was commissioned by Abigail specifically for me."With tears flowing dramatically, he pointed to the conspicuous repair on the suit's cuff. "He pretended to be so kind, but behind our backs, he's pure venom. And now he conjures up fake financial statements to ruin my wedding."He's nothing but a two-faced liar! A lunatic!"At his words, the guests below immediately began murmuring among themselves."Tearing someone's suit? That's just classless.""So, Nathaniel's magnanimity was all an act?""Looks like Nathaniel has really gone off the deep end."Taking in the suspicious stares from everyone, I let out an exasperated laugh.I raised the microphone and said, "A

A deathly silence fell over the room.Abigail stared at the screen for a full five seconds.Suddenly, she offered a smile that was meant to be helplessly indulgent but ended up feeling somewhat strained."Nat, stop messing around." She reached out to take my hand, her tone carrying a hint of reproach, yet as if coaxing a child."I know you're still jealous, so that's why you're trying to get my attention this way and remind everyone that we're the real couple. But this little trick of yours is way too obvious."Be good now and turn off that screen. Today is Dominic's big day—don't go ruining it."She even turned to the guests and explained, "Sorry, everyone, my husband is just playing a little joke on me. He's always been this mischievous. Please don't take it seriously."I found her self-deception utterly laughable."A joke?" I stepped back to avoid her outstretched hand. Then, I brought the microphone back to my lips and said clearly and calmly, "Ladies and gentlemen, allow m

The wedding was set at The Peninsula, the city's most luxurious hotel.Although it was publicly announced as a performance to fulfill Mrs. Gorman Senior's last wish, the scale of the event was even grander than my wedding to Abigail back in the day.Almost all the prominent figures in the industry showed up. Whether they came out of curiosity or in hopes of seeing a spectacle, the place was packed.I sat at the main table in an all-black suit. Dressed like this, I looked less like a wedding guest and more like someone attending a funeral.The people around me regarded me with expressions full of amusement and whispered commentary."Hey, look, Nathaniel actually showed up.""What a pathetic excuse for a husband. His wife's about to marry someone else, and he's just sitting there?""I heard it's supposedly a performance for Dominic's grandmother.""A performance? You believe that? Look at that diamond ring and the scale of this event. It's even more lavish than theirs back then.
