Chapter 9

Author: Bubble
My tone remained even. “Don’t leave it to people who have nothing to do with you.”

He was silent for a long time.

In the end, his fingers trembling, he signed his name on the documents.

Everything was transferred to me.

A year later, Andy entered a critical condition.

The media wanted access.

I blocked all of it.

He lay in the hospital bed, connected to all kinds of machines, no longer able to form complete sentences.

Yet he still clutched my hand tightly.

“Ellen… You won…”

His voice was so ligh

    My tone remained even. “Don’t leave it to people who have nothing to do with you.”He was silent for a long time.In the end, his fingers trembling, he signed his name on the documents.Everything was transferred to me.A year later, Andy entered a critical condition.The media wanted access.I blocked all of it.He lay in the hospital bed, connected to all kinds of machines, no longer able to form complete sentences.Yet he still clutched my hand tightly.“Ellen… You won…”His voice was so light it felt like a breath of wind that could scatter at any moment.I looked down at him.This man who had once been untouchable, now needed machines just to keep breathing.I didn’t respond.But he seemed to summon the last of his strength, his knuckles whitening as he gripped me.“I shouldn’t have…”There was so much he probably wanted to say.He shouldn’t have betrayed me, shouldn’t have dismissed me, shouldn’t have trampled on me again and again.But there was no time left.He only managed thr

    And I ended the call without hesitation.—The second blade fell on the lovers.I had an entire cabinet of files.Every single one was labeled with meticulous clarity.Time.Place.Money trails.Covert footage.Chat logs.Medical documentation.Cataloged by number, clearly classified.Some were married.Some held positions of power.Some were public figures who lived off carefully crafted personas.I didn’t release everything at once.That would have been letting them off too easily.I chose to deal with them one by one—precise and targeted.The first week.A female lifestyle content creator was exposed for interfering in another person’s marriage. On the sponsorship list, Andy’s name was written in black and white.Partner brands terminated their contracts overnight.The second week.The spouse of a political figure received an anonymous package.Inside was a complete chain of evidence showing her husband’s involvement with multiple women.Family and career collapsed together.The thi

    She cried in utter disarray.But I didn’t waver in the slightest.“This is a medical procedure.”I calmly withdrew my hand. “It’s not something that can be stopped just because I say so.”It was as if the last bit of support had been pulled out from under her. She collapsed straight onto the floor.I didn’t look back at her.Some debts don’t need to be settled by my own hands.They were ones she had accumulated herself, bit by bit.…Andy didn’t truly realize something was wrong until after he was “politely asked to step away” from a board video conference for the third time.His system access was being stripped away, piece by piece.At first, he could still view the full financial data.Later, only summaries remained.After that, even meeting invitations had to be forwarded through my secretary.That was when panic finally set in.That night, he called me from the hospital.His voice was rushed, unsettled.“Ellen, did you touch something you weren’t supposed to?”I had just finished a

    The ward remained silent for a long time.In the end, as if all his strength had been drained away, he signed his name on the agreement, his fingers trembling.Five years ago, when I married him, what I signed was a marriage contract.Five years later, what he placed in my hands was half of the Lowe Group, signed away in a document relinquishing control.I put the papers away and stood up.“Cooperate with the treatment,” I said. “I’ll handle the company.”He looked at me, his expression impossibly complex.“Ellen, you’ll stay on my side, right?” he asked quietly.I stopped and looked back at him.“As long as you behave, I’ll stand on your side.”By the time I walked out of the ward, night had fully fallen.Beyond the floor-to-ceiling window at the end of the corridor, the city lights stretched into a sheet of cold white.The assistant had been waiting by the door. Seeing me come out, he stepped forward at once, lowering his voice. “Ma’am, the board has started asking about Mr. Lowe’s c

    He remembered me at last.I lowered my lashes, my tone still steady. “I’ve already been tested. I’m not infected.”That part was true.Relief flickered across his face.Then guilt and unease surfaced, tangled together.“I’m sorry,” he said softly. “I wronged you.”If this were the past—when I still held even a shred of expectation for him—those words would have moved me.Now, I only found them laughable.I stood up. “There’s no point dwelling on this now. Cooperate with the treatment first. We’ll talk about the rest later.”He reached out, trying to grab me.“Ellen, don’t go…”I paused. “I’m going to take care of some things that have to be handled, including Janet.”I turned back to him and added, “She’s the source of infection. The hospital has a full protocol. She needs to be informed, and her other close contacts need to be traced.”His expression changed instantly.“Then they’ll definitely trace it back to me!” he shouted, almost losing control. “Ellen, can we slow this down firs

    The ward was unnervingly quiet.It was so quiet that the rhythm of the IV drip was almost audible.Andy stared at the test report, his brow drawn tight.Then, bit by bit, his expression collapsed.“What does this mean?” His voice was stretched taut.I looked at him and calmly read out the conclusion on the page. “You’ve been confirmed as infected with HIV.”“What?”He jerked his head up to look at me, confusion flooding his eyes. “Say that again?”I didn’t explain further. I simply pushed the report a little closer to him, letting the highlighted lines fall fully into view.Infection confirmed. HIV.His breathing went noticeably ragged.“That’s impossible…” He shook his head instinctively. “The test has to be wrong. I’ve always been healthy. I do comprehensive checkups every year. How could I…”Halfway through, he suddenly stopped, as if something had finally clicked.It had to be because of that girl—the one he had kept close, whom he kept calling “clean,” “innocent,” “nothing like t
