Chapter 1

“Ms. Anderson, there are rumors claiming you owe the miraculous success of your company to Oscar Smith, the former chief analyst. What do you have to say about that?”With her shocking business growth, Celine had become the youngest person to grace the cover of a financial magazine as “Person of the year.” When she was asked about her relationship with me, she smiled gracefully at the camera. “He used to be my employee, but he’s left the company.“As for the rumor that I’m his fiancee, I hope everyone minds their own business and stops being delusional.” It was already nighttime. I leaned against the couch and stared at the clock. Four hours had already passed, but Celine did not call me at all. A day ago, her company’s market capitalization had hit the billion-dollar mark. She was extremely joyous as she hugged me. She said that I was her lucky star and that she wanted to formally announce our engagement during tonight’s forum. I was extremely delighted when I heard th

In the elevator, I looked at the changing numbers in a daze. My phone rang, and it was a call from Matt. I did not expect myself to answer the call. “Oscar, Ms. Anderson really liked the model that you optimized for me. Next time, just send all of your creative designs to me. Then, I don’t have to trouble Ms. Anderson to do so.“Of course, I’m very grateful for your support to me and to Ms. Anderson. Don’t worry. We’ll definitely invite you to our wedding as a groomsman.”Even though I had expected his words, I still felt a numbness in my heart. Celine and I had met in university. Even though she did not come from a rich family, I never looked down on her for it. When we were twenty, we were madly in love. I gave up on an investment invitation and started a business with her. When we were twenty-three, she accepted my proposal. I thought she was my entire future. When we were twenty-five, her company was set up. I rejected all offers and focused on supporting her. Over

The next day, I returned to the apartment to retrieve my personal belongings. When I reached the study, I heard someone flirting and laughing inside. The door was not shut. Celine’s back was facing me as she sat on Matt’s lap and acted coyly. When Matt saw me, he was not affected at all. Instead, he grabbed her face and kissed her passionately. After that, he asked smugly, “Celine, you gave me Oscar’s data again. He’ll be unhappy when he finds out!” Celine leaned against his chest and appeared indifferent. “Does it matter? He’s just a tool.“I’ve gotten sick of him after ten years. If it weren’t for the fact that he’s still useful, I would’ve asked him to leave the company.“It’s just some data analysis. He’ll give me anything if I just treat him a little better.” I bit down on my tongue. The bloody taste could not replace the bitterness in my heart. The scenes of unreserved effort and our sweet past were stabbing me in the heart like a knife. I finally gave up. The

Celine’s face immediately turned pale. She stared at me in disbelief as if she was looking at a stranger. Matt’s legs were trembling. He was a smart person. He immediately understood the true meaning of my words. Since I could simply claim a billion-dollar company was an experiment, the ability that I had was unthinkable to him. Theo stepped forward and passed some documents to Celine. “Ms. Anderson, these are the warning letters indicating intellectual property infringement of seventeen key investment strategies and models. There is also a liquidation and transfer notice for all the shares held by our client, Mr. Smith. According to the agreement, you and Harmony Corporation would need to compensate for the losses resulting from the infringement. That would come to 3.7 billion dollars.” The words, “3.7 billion dollars,” were a huge shock to Celine and Matt. Celine shook and shrieked, “Oscar, you’re insane! We built these models together, and the company is our labor of love!

Chapter 5

Harmony Corporation crumbled soon after. The news spread like wildfire. [Breaking news! Harmony Corporation’s core strategy is allegedly plagiarized. The founder, Oscar, is asking for 3.7 billion dollars in compensation!][The company’s stock has fallen drastically! The market price fell, and its market value basically evaporated in a single day!][Insider news: The so-called investment goddess, Celine, is just a puppet controlled by Oscar!]The news outlets that used to ridicule me had switched up their narratives. The trending topic of a “delusional poor guy” had been replaced with a “misunderstood genius.” I received many phone calls. Investors and entrepreneurs who used to ignore me were calling me enthusiastically and hoping to meet me. I ignored all of them. That was until I received a call from an unknown number. The person sounded clear and firm. “Mr. Smith, I’m Wanda Reid from Excel Corporation. I’ve seen all of your models, and they’re terrific. Are you inter

Chapter 6

Celine got her retribution earlier than I expected. To save themselves, the board of directors called for an emergency meeting. They dismissed her as the CEO and froze all of her shares. Then, they forced her to pay the 3.7 billion dollars in compensation on her own. She had fallen from heaven to hell overnight. Her mansion was seized, and her luxury cars were auctioned. All of her accounts were frozen. Everything that she was proud of had disintegrated. It was worse for Matt. Not only was he fired from Harmony Corporation, but Celine and I also sued him over the leak of confidential information and intellectual property infringement. He was facing a huge sum of fines and potentially prison time. His reputation was completely ruined, and no other company dared to hire him. I heard that the last time he was seen, he was extremely drunk in a bar. He was hugging the bouncer and crying. He claimed that Celine scammed him. As for me, I was busy setting up Sail Corporation

Chapter 7

Celine did not stop pestering me after that. She started taking extreme measures to try to change my mind. One late night, I received a call from an unknown number. It was from the hospital. “Is this Mr. Smith? Ms. Anderson has slashed her wrist. Before she fell unconscious, she kept mumbling your name.”I was silent for a while before asking, “How is she now?”“She’s no longer in critical condition.”“That’s good. I’ll get my lawyer to settle the medical bill. As for other matters, I wouldn’t be able to help.”After that, I hung up and blocked the number. I did not know how Wanda heard about the incident. The next morning, she showed up at my office with breakfast. She did not ask me anything. Instead, she placed a sandwich in front of me. “Have some food first. No matter what, you can’t be hungry.”I looked at her clear eyes and felt warm inside. Unlike Celine’s suffocating and calculative bond, I always felt relaxed and respected whenever I was around Wanda. “Th

The spotlight was immediately on Wanda. Standing up confidently, she thanked everyone and appeared elegant.Everyone was clapping vigorously. At the same time, someone suddenly opened the back door of the venue and rushed in. Celine looked insane with her messy hair. Her eyes were unfocused when she pointed at me and shrieked, “Liars! You’re all liars! Oscar, you’re a liar! You used me and abandoned me! Why are you standing here? It should be me! Me!” Everyone was shocked. Security immediately stepped forward to stop her. However, she freed herself and ran up the stage. “Wait.” I stopped the security guards. Everyone was looking at me. I silently looked at Celine as she rushed forward. I looked at her face that was twisted from jealousy and anger. I took the other handheld microphone from the host and passed it to her. “You said I used you and owe all of this to you. Alright, then. Please tell everyone the truth today.” Celine was stunned. She did not expect

Chapter 9

After that press release, Celine was sent to a mental asylum. I heard that she kept drifting in and out of consciousness. When she was conscious, she would keep writing my name. When she was not, she would hug her pillow and claim that it was her lost empire. She completely disappeared from the industry, and no one mentioned her again. It was as if she never made a mark. A year later, Wanda and I ended up on the cover of a famous financial magazine. We were standing next to each other, and there was a big logo of Sail Corporation behind us. We looked confident. In the interview, the last question the reporter asked me was, “Mr. Smith, after going through so much, how do you view your partner?” I remained quiet for a while before looking at Wanda. She was smiling as she met my gaze. I looked at the camera and seriously said, “A good relationship shouldn’t be one-sided or calculative. It’s both of us having our own independence but also having each other’s back.“When yo
