After I help my boyfriend register his company and successfully land his first deal, he finally decides to make our relationship public. But his junior from college, who's always had this weird hostility toward me for no reason, beats me to it by sliding into the seat next to him. She leans against my boyfriend's chest, her voice smug and satisfied. "Didn't you say you'd wait until the company officially launched? So why the rush now?" My boyfriend says nothing. Instead, he hands her a share certificate and announces to the entire room that she's the company's largest shareholder. The room explodes. Everyone starts whistling and cheering them on. The junior takes the opportunity to kick me while I'm down, throwing insults my way. My boyfriend doesn't just fail to stop her. He actually joins in with his own snide remarks. "Sure, you helped me set up the company and brought in our first client, but she's the one who can actually take us somewhere." I don't get angry. I graciously acknowledge the junior's new position. I want to see how far they would get without me, their biggest asset and most valuable connection.

Trade Me for a Schemer? Enjoy Your Fall Chapter 8
The nearby guests were drawn to the commotion. They stood frozen in silence, not daring to make a sound.Dad's friend was hosting this banquet. Seeing what happened, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.Of course, he wouldn't ask Dad to apologize, but he didn't want trouble breaking out at his event either. He politely introduced himself to Owen and suggested they reconcile.Seeing this, Owen assumed the host was taking his side and became even more imperious."This man is trying to steal my girlfriend, and he even threatened violence! Throw him out!" Owen shouted wildly.Right then, two security guards approached. Lila immediately ordered them to throw Dad out.The guards ignored her completely. Instead, each grabbed one of Owen's arms and hauled him out.He protested loudly, shouting and struggling. Finally, he turned to me for help."Charlotte, help me! I only acted that way because of you just now. You saw it yourself. It clearly wasn't my fault."Sure enough, Lila sp

I heard news that Owen was scrambling frantically over company issues. After thinking it over, I went to the study to find Dad. But he seemed to know what I was going to say and handed me a document directly.Seeing the contents inside, I froze in place, somewhat stunned. This was Owen's company's financial statement, but it was different from what I'd seen before."The company's been in trouble for a while now, but to attract investors, he created two sets of books. The external accounts are fake. Only this one is real."There's already a funding gap of nearly 300 million. Even if I drop the lawsuit now, he'll have a hard time surviving," Dad said calmly.I flipped through page after page, my heart growing colder with each one. I didn't say anything more and quietly left the study.Probably worried I was taking this too hard, Dad brought Mom and me to a welcome banquet for one of his friends that evening to help me relax. I didn't expect to run into Owen and Lila there.The banq

After getting off the plane, I arrived home quickly.Dad sent someone to pick me up. Mom held my hand the entire time, looking at me with concern. "You've gotten so thin. Have you been eating properly?"My heart ached with bitterness.Over all these years, I'd rarely called home. Back when Dad disapproved of my relationship with Owen, we'd fought constantly. Mom hadn't wanted to talk to me either.Now that I was home, I couldn't hold back anymore. All the grievances I'd been carrying were poured out."Hmph, I told you not to be with someone like that. I did a background check and you still didn't believe me!" Dad huffed at me indignantly, though his eyes were full of worry.I knew I'd been wrong. Through blurry tears, I hugged him. Dad froze, shooting helpless looks at Mom. But he still patted my back comfortingly."Alright, alright. It's not too late to come to your senses now. Starting your own company is good. It'll prepare you to take over the family business eventually. I c

The people who had just been chatting excitedly now looked at each other in confusion. Owen froze as well.Before anyone could react, Lila scoffed dismissively. "What kind of joke is this? Our company hasn't even gone public yet. What financial problems could there possibly be? They must have made a mistake."Owen seemed reassured by this, as if she'd thrown him a lifeline. He let out a breath of relief, frowned at Sheila, and said, "Look into things properly before bringing them up. Don't spread unverified information and cause panic.""That's not what I—"The finance manager tried to explain, but Owen waved her off. "That's enough. Go back to your desk."Lila chimed in, "Discuss things clearly with the other party first. Don't just jump to conclusions based on rumors. If this happens again, we'll dock your pay."Sheila's eyes nearly turned red with frustration. Seeing this, I couldn't help but speak up. "You should at least let her finish."At my words, Lila's eyes filled with
