Chapter 8

Author: Rui Rui
Days later, at the board meeting, I submitted detailed financial reports from Jayden's tenure and a comprehensive internal audit.

Every instance of mismanagement, every poor decision, every loss he'd covered up with fake numbers, even every penny of company funds he'd stolen to spoil his mistress—I laid it all out with solid evidence.

Faced with my father's and the other directors' interrogation, Jayden was speechless.

His so-called impressive abilities crumbled like a joke under real scrutiny.

  • Who's the Queen Now?   Chapter 9

    Hazel wasn't done—she confessed everything, loud enough for the whole bar to hear:"I only got with you for your money from day one. You didn't actually think I loved you, did you?""All that romantic shit I said was just lies I made up—only an idiot like you would believe it. Look in the mirror and see if you're even worth it!"Jayden completely lost it.All his self-respect, pride, and final hopes were shredded by Hazel's words.He lunged at her like a madman, and they started brawling right there in the bar.It was an ugly scene—bottles smashing, furniture flying.Hazel's new boyfriend, some tough-looking bruiser, immediately joined the fight.He grabbed a bottle and smashed it down on Jayden's head.Jayden got beaten to a pulp, completely defenseless, just curled up on the ground wailing.Eventually, all three were arrested by police for public fighting.This whole shitshow was witnessed by crowds of people, filmed, and posted online, making them the laughingstock of the entire cit

    Days later, at the board meeting, I submitted detailed financial reports from Jayden's tenure and a comprehensive internal audit.Every instance of mismanagement, every poor decision, every loss he'd covered up with fake numbers, even every penny of company funds he'd stolen to spoil his mistress—I laid it all out with solid evidence.Faced with my father's and the other directors' interrogation, Jayden was speechless.His so-called impressive abilities crumbled like a joke under real scrutiny.Finally, the board reached a unanimous decision.Not only would Jayden be fired, but he'd also have to personally compensate the company for all economic losses caused by his gross negligence and embezzlement.It was an huge sum that would keep him buried for life.When he walked out of the corporate building, he looked like a lost soul, a walking corpse.I happened to be heading downstairs to visit the branch office.My new driver was already waiting at the entrance, holding the car door open f

    That evening, Jayden finally rushed back home.He stood at the front door of our mansion and discovered the keypad lock had been changed.He tried all our anniversaries, tried our birthdays—nothing worked.He frantically rang the doorbell.Then started calling me over and over, practically blowing up my phone.I sat on the living room couch, watching my phone screen light up and go dark, completely ignoring every call.Eventually, what greeted him wasn't me opening the door.It was a moving truck.The truck pulled up to the curb and workers started hauling stuff out of the house.Packed boxes, one after another, all belonging to him.His suits, his sneakers, his golf clubs.Even those trophies and certificates from his study that he was so proud of.Every single personal item that belonged to him was carried out without exception, piled up on the sidewalk like a heap of abandoned garbage.Jayden watched this scene unfold, his eyes turning red.He rushed forward and blocked the door wit

    Thirty minutes later, the company's front doors swung open.My dad, Chairman Sterling Thorn, walked in with a whole entourage of executives and the legal team.His presence was so commanding that every employee in the place went silent and automatically cleared a path.The entire office floor was dead quiet except for the sound of his confident footsteps.He walked straight to me, his eyes showing a severity and protectiveness I'd never seen before.He reached up and smoothed down my slightly messy hair."Did they hurt you?"I shook my head, feeling my throat tighten up, but I held it together."No, Dad. I just think your company deserves better than this."Dad nodded and squeezed my shoulder."You're absolutely right."Hazel, who was collapsed on the floor, saw my dad and must have thought he was her lifeline.She crawled over on her hands and knees, trying to grab onto his legs."Chairman Thorn, I'm so sorry! I messed up so bad! I had no idea she was your daughter!"She was crying an

    After I hung up with Dad, the whole place went dead silent.Everyone was staring at me, not daring to breathe, their eyes mixing shock, confusion, and straight-up fear.Hazel was still holding her phone with Jayden's video call active—he'd obviously heard my last comment.He probably didn't catch exactly what I'd said on the phone, or maybe he just couldn't believe it.His face was dark as storm clouds, glaring at me through the screen."Who were you just talking to? What kind of bullshit did you just say?"His voice still had that arrogant, superior tone he always used.Hazel snapped back to reality too.She thought Jayden was still backing her up, figured I was just bluffing.She got all high and mighty with me again."What are you even trying to pull here?"I didn't bother responding to her.And I didn't even look at Jayden again.Right then, another ringtone started going off through Hazel's phone speaker.Jayden's personal cell was ringing.On the video, I watched Jayden glance do

    The second the video call connected, Hazel's eyes instantly welled up with tears. She flipped the camera toward herself, face crumpling into a devastated expression, and broke into sobs. "Jax, baby, someone's being so mean to me!" "This new girl in the office is like, totally aggressive. I just wanted to borrow the stapler and she wouldn't even let me touch it." "She messed up her own documents by accident and then blamed me for it, and now she wants me to pay for them. She's being such a bitch to me!" She twisted the story completely, weeping like she'd been mortally wounded. Through the speaker, I could hear Jayden's voice—soft, soothing, dripping with indulgence. "Baby, don't cry. Hubby's here. Nobody gets to mess with my princess. I'll handle this." I glanced at the time. He should be at some major industry summit right now. Yet here he was, interrupting high-stakes meetings to coddle his so-called wife's crocodile tears. "Sweetheart, stop crying. Give the phone t
