That Night, I Was Done Chapter 10
One year later, my new company was listed on NexTrade.When the bell rang, ribbons fell from above. My net worth increased tenfold, and I became a rising star in the business world.At the celebration party, I held Sophia's arm and took media interviews.A reporter asked about my past. "Mr. Reed, we heard you had an unpleasant relationship experience before. Did it have any impact on you?"I smiled faintly and looked into the camera. "I'm grateful for the experience. It taught me how to choose. Some people are not worth keeping. I have no regrets about missing them. It was like escaping a disaster."-At that same moment, in a dark corner of the city…Andrea, newly released after serving her sentence, rummaged through a trash can for food.One of her legs had been broken in detention. She couldn't afford treatment and was left crippled. A long scar marked her face, left by Ethan.She passed an electronics store. A television in the display window played Daniel's interview. He

I refused to let this farce end in private. I pressed Enter and anonymously broadcast the warehouse surveillance footage on the largest LED screen in the city center.It was the advertising screen directly across from the Smith Group building.Rush hour had begun. Thousands of pedestrians stopped and looked up.The footage was high definition, the audio crystal clear. The entire city watched the once powerful, beautiful CEO and her "boy toy" tear into each other like mad dogs.Ethan pinned Andrea to the ground and choked her. "Die! You useless piece of trash! If it weren't for Daniel, what would you even be? You think I ever liked you? I was in it for the money!"Andrea clawed at Ethan's face, her voice shrill as she screamed, "You ruined me! Daniel was so good to me, and I didn't want him… Why did I fall for a piece of trash like you? I'm going to kill you!"Police sirens blared. Officers rushed into the warehouse and forced the two apart.Bystanders recorded the scene and uplo

Andrea returned home to find the house completely ransacked. Her luxury handbags and jewelry were gone, along with the shredded remnants of her wedding dress. Ethan had sold everything of value.As despair set in, a knock sounded at the door.Bianca arrived with several burly men to collect the debt. She strode into the living room in high heels and pulled out a promissory note. "Miss Smith, Ethan owes me 500,000 dollars. You are the guarantor."Andrea lost control. "I never signed anything! I never signed anything!"She snatched the note and examined it. Her signature was there, along with her company's stamp.Ethan had stolen it and stamped it himself.Bianca smiled with concealed malice and slapped her across the face.Blood filled Andrea's mouth."Whether you signed it or that dog forged it, the debt must be paid. If we can't find him, you will pay. Today is the deadline," Bianca said.Andrea broke down in tears. "I have no money… My company is bankrupt… The house is under

One month after I left, Andrea was released on bail pending trial. Her nightmare, however, had only begun. The company collapsed soon after.I had been the company's central pillar. The moment I left, its financial chain snapped and projects ground to a halt. Suppliers crowded the entrance, demanding payment. Employees panicked and resigned one after another.Andrea tried to imitate how I had run things. She believed that as long as she sat in my seat, she only needed to sign documents.Instead, her lack of understanding made her an easy target. Competitors set her up, and she signed a dual contract. Not only did she fail to secure funding, but she also lost a 300,000 dollar deposit. That had been the company's last liquid cash.Ethan offered no help. He continued to live like a spoiled prince, maxing out Andrea's credit cards on luxury watches and limited-edition sneakers.As he put it: "Andrea, I'm the Operations Director. I need to keep up appearances when I go out. I can't emb

Luckily, I survived. At the very last moment before the explosion, a passing truck driver risked his life, smashed the window, and dragged me out.Behind me, flames shot into the sky. In that instant, something inside me went completely still.I was burned clean.…I woke up in the ICU with multiple fractures across my body, a mild concussion, and severe burns on my thigh.Andrea didn't show up until three days later. She carried a basket of fruit, the cheap kind sold outside hospitals. Inside were two strawberries. Still strawberries.When she saw me covered in bandages, my leg suspended, a trace of panic finally crossed her face. "How did it get this bad? I thought you were just stuck… The rain was too heavy that day. Ethan kept crying, so I…"I closed my eyes. I did not want to look at her. Another glance felt repulsive."Get out."Andrea froze for a moment, then her expression shifted to embarrassment and anger. "Daniel, don't be ungrateful. I came to see you, didn't I? Th
That Night, I Was Done Chapter 5
Victor Hayes, the representative of the largest investor, walked in. He ignored Andrea, who was in the middle of losing her temper, and came straight to me.He extended his hand, smiling. "Mr. Reed, I hear you're going solo. For the next round of funding, we recognize only you. As for the Smith Group…"He shot Andrea a cold glance. "If not for Mr. Reed, why would we ever work with a company like this?"Andrea froze. Panic flickered across her face. She might be arrogant, but she was not foolish. Victor's words hit like ice water and shattered her sense of superiority.She forced a smile and stepped forward. "Mr. Hayes, you must be joking. I'm Andrea Smith. Have you mistaken me for someone else? Daniel is just my assistant…"Victor barely looked at her. "Miss Smith? Oh, the one with negative assets. Mr. Reed, is the contract signed? My car is downstairs."I nodded and handed the signed termination agreement to my secretary."Let's go." I stood to leave.Andrea grabbed my arm. "D
