All Chapters of A Saboteur on Her Knees: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Willa Quinn's brows tightened the moment she heard me."What are you throwing a tantrum for?" she snapped. "Go work in the factory for two years and wear out that precious temper of yours. After that, I'll come pick you up."From her lofty height, she issued another order. "You're going to the factory anyway, so hand your design competition project to Aaron."I let out a mocking smile.We had known each other for 25 years and had been engaged for three.During those three years, I had asked her more than once when she wanted to get married. Every time, she met me with impatience. She always said she was still young and refused to let marriage tie her down. She would marry me when the time came.I kept waiting, only to wait for this.I gave her a cold laugh. "I'm not going to the assembly line, and I'm not giving him my work. He's a street punk. How is he worthy of any of it?"Aaron Yule's face fell at my words. He frowned as he clutched Willa's sleeve."Willa, my family had

I asked my parents to begin the annulment process, but I still had other matters to deal with.I had prepared for the design competition for far too long to give up at the final moment. If nothing went wrong, my entry would take first place.At the award ceremony, the host had just read my name when the doors burst open."Wait. There's a problem with the results."Everyone turned toward Aaron.He fixed his eyes on me. "Mr. Dalton, I know you have money and influence, but I'd like to fight for justice."I frowned. "What justice?"A mocking smile tugged at his lips. "The design that won first place was actually created by me."Willa stepped out from behind him. "Shane, I don't understand why you're so vain. You knew Aaron and I were close, yet you used my name to steal his work. You were born with a silver spoon. You have no idea how hard it is for someone to climb upward. I hope you return what belongs to Aaron and apologize to him in front of everyone."I gritted my teeth

Willa suddenly turned toward Amber. "And who do you think you are to question me? At the end of the day, Shane and I are the ones who belong to the same family. Only I would know these details."Her words clearly stung Amber. She was a woman who cared deeply about pride and dignity.I stepped in front of her without thinking."Willa, if I remember correctly, our engagement is already over. Amber is like my sister. I won't allow you to slander her."Maybe it was because I had always been mild-tempered, but Willa didn't flinch.Instead, when she saw Amber and me standing together, she let out a cold little laugh."Like your sister? A real sister, or something else? Shane, you're so hypocritical."The way people looked at us began to shift, but I searched my conscience. All those years of dating, I had never once betrayed her. I had even cut off every woman who ever showed interest in me just to avoid upsetting her.She, on the other hand, kept testing my limits for Aaron's sa

I had told Willa before that her behavior was wrong.But every time she'd pout or act cute, I'd soften immediately. She openly fought the supposed injustice of the design competition for Aaron, suggesting in public and between the lines that I had used my connections to steal his work.She even accused me of having an improper relationship with Amber and cheating during our relationship.She was a minor celebrity and a blogger with a polished, rich-girl persona, and with her influence, I suddenly became the enemy of the Internet."What kind of man would cheat on Willa? Is he insane? Has he looked in a mirror? Does he deserve our goddess?""He even stole someone else's work. Does he have no shame? How did his parents raise him?"Others rushed to defend Aaron."How pitiful. He finally had a chance to succeed, and someone snatched it away.""These rich heirs are awful. Good thing Willa spoke up for him, or no one would have known the truth."Aaron even posted a long message tha

Aaron refused to back down and yelled, "You were the one who couldn't resist temptation. Why are you pretending to be the perfect girlfriend? Please!"I had to admit, I admired his courage. Even now, he still dared to provoke Willa.In my heart, I felt sympathy for him.To my surprise, Aaron staggered to his feet and started fighting with her."Willa, did you really think I wouldn't hit a woman?"The scene descended into chaos. The competition was far grander than I'd expected, and the organizers had even arranged a live broadcast.The moment viewers saw Willa, many jumped to defend her. But now, after everything, public opinion had flipped completely."So, these two were the real guilty ones all along. I feel sick thinking about how I'd defended them earlier.""So, the woman cheated and had the nerve to blame her boyfriend? Is there no justice left?""These two losers deserve each other. I hope they stay together forever."Willa had no idea what the Internet was saying. More
