All Chapters of He Gifted Her a Home, I Gave Him a Divorce: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Upon seeing my response in Jacobson Group's group chat, everyone burst into a frenzy, flooding the message room with hundreds of texts."That gold-digger is spouting nonsense again!""Oscar is probably the only fool who would believe Leslie.""You certainly run into all kinds of people out there. I mean, could she at least consider the setting before making such exaggerated claims?""That gold digger even dares to flirt in front of Mr. Jacobson. Who knows what kind of scandalous stuff she gets up to privately?"Yvonne Ziegler goes as far as reprimanding me in a highly superior manner. "You've been working here for five years, yet you're still entry-level, Leslie! If I were Mr. Jacobson, I'd be ashamed to have you as a wife! You should work harder and follow my example!"I had spent years deliberately playing down my role to respect Shawn Jacobson's fierce independence, discreetly supporting him from my low-level position. I had leveraged my personal monopoly on key resources th

I truly questioned my standing in Shawn's life at this moment. I had never once witnessed him make such a worried expression, despite being married to him for eight years. I even broke my leg while saving him from an oncoming car once, yet he didn't express an ounce of worry, only insulting me and implying that the injury was my deserved punishment.Yet now, Yvonne had merely staged a minor fall, and Shawn was frantic enough to immediately dial the emergency line. Perhaps he genuinely had feelings for Yvonne.I had no desire to dwell on that anymore, though. "I'll have my lawyer deliver the divorce agreement tomorrow morning, so let's call it a day and go our separate ways, Shawn."I simply walked out of the office after saying that, not once looking back. I felt the cool breeze around me as soon as I stepped outside, making me shiver as I walked. All of a sudden, I felt a void inside, as if I had suddenly been left without a home. Unbothered, Shawn returned home utterly i

Shawn sounded really angry on the other end of the line."I have no idea what you're talking about, Shawn," I replied before letting out a yawn and paying him no attention thereafter.I was just about to end the call when his fury flared up again. "I had a fight with you, and the very next moment, the key investor on the most vital deal Reed Group entrusted to me abruptly withdrew their funding. You can't deny that this has nothing to do with you, Leslie!"I retorted coldly, "So you do remember that it was a project you were supposed to handle, huh? How is that any of my business, then?"Shawn responded with a tone that suggested complete entitlement. "You always handled all my projects before, didn't you? Who else should I turn to if not you since there's a crisis brewing, Leslie?"I found his statement utterly preposterous. I couldn't even fathom the kind of bizarre logic that led him to such a conclusion. "You and I are officially divorced, so don't call to pester me again, Sha

I had already done my part in the "show", so I merely turned and executed a graceful exit, ignoring the gazes of the reporters trained on me. "What was the primary motivation behind your decision to acquire Jacobson Group, Ms. Reed?""How is it that you were able to lie low for so long and then, seemingly out of nowhere, become such a powerhouse in the business world, Ms. Reed?""Where did you source the ten-billion-dollar funding required for the Jacobson Group acquisition, Ms. Reed?"I responded to the barrage of consecutive questions, answering every single one of them.Shawn and Yvonne, on the other hand, were utterly dumbfounded, quickly finding themselves jostled and pressed into a corner by the surging crowd. Yvonne repeatedly shook her head. "That can't be true! How could a mere gold digger like her acquire Jacobson Group?"Shawn was consumed by deep, festering doubt as he watched me being encompassed by the throng. He could never permit me—a mere gold digger in his mi
