Chapter 1

"You contributed greatly to the company's success this year, Harry. Come up on stage with me. Let's take a photo together."My wife, Rosalie Smith, gestured for Harry West to join her.Harry hurried over to Rosalie's side. He held her hand as they went up on stage together. They delivered their speeches before handing out their gifts and blessings to the rest of the employees.The good rapport that they shared made them look like a couple who were passionately in love with one another. They were stuck together like glue.The employees who received the gifts from them teased them. "Should we expect good news from the two of you soon, Mr. West and Ms. Smith? I'm looking forward to attending your wedding.""You're awesome, Mr. West and Ms. Smith! I'll definitely work hard and live up to your expectations in the coming year!"The crowd began to chant, "Get married! Get married!"That was the scene I stumbled upon when I arrived late to the awards ceremony. A sour sensation spread th

"You truly don't know your priorities, Cameron Patterson," Rosalie berated. "Don't you feel ashamed that you made everyone wait for you during such an important ceremony?"You have no sense of punctuality, even though you're the chief engineer. Maybe you should just quit being an engineer altogether!"I wanted to explain to Rosalie that I was only late because I had returned home to get her medicine. But when I met her unforgiving gaze, my mouth fell open slightly before I lowered my head.Rosalie hadn't been joking. She turned to Harry and softly said, "You graduated from a prestigious university abroad, Harry. You have an excellent academic background and outstanding skills. I'd like you to take over Cameron's duties as the chief engineer."She then turned to look at me to continue her rant. "Did you hear me? Make sure to clear out your office. Since you're unable to perform your duties, you might as well vacate the position to someone who's actually capable."I raised my head a

It seemed that Rosalie had forgotten about how I was constantly sacrificing sleep to work on projects during the early years of the company. In the past, she would consult me and rely on me during every step of the plan.After I steered the company in the right direction, she forgot that she wasn't the one who was responsible for the company's successes. She deluded herself into believing that she was the lady boss whom everyone praised her to be.And now, she wanted to kick me to the curb just because I was "useless" from her perspective.Rosalie continued to berate me.My colleagues tensed up when I approached Harry. They fell silent, thinking that I was going to escalate the situation into a fight.However, I did no such thing.I simply removed my work ID, pulled out the divorce papers I had prepared beforehand, and threw them in Harry's face."Your job's not easy, huh? Why don't I do you a favor and let you replace me as the president's husband?"Shocked gasps erupted among

The codes that were previously calculated would become utterly useless without my core technology.On top of that, the contract's deadline was fast approaching.Not only would Rosalie have to pay an astronomical compensation fee, but the company would also be thrown into a crisis.Meanwhile, Rosalie felt a little guilty when she noticed my continued silence after I gave up my chief engineer position to Harry. "Alright. Don't just stand there. The luncheon is starting soon," she said coyly. "I specifically ordered the dishes from your favorite restaurant for this awards ceremony."She haughtily averted her gaze after she was done speaking, as if she was doing me a huge favor by offering me an opportunity to leave with what was left of my dignity.It was true that when a person was rendered speechless, they would suddenly be overwhelmed with the urge to laugh.Disgust roiled in my gut at just the thought of having to eat lunch with these despicable people.I turned around and he

"I just don't like it when a useless person tries to teach me how to do things. It makes me ill," I said.Harry's face turned a ruddy red. He looked like he had more to say, but I turned around and left.I didn't want to stay there for even another second. I would just be torturing myself if I did. In fact, I feel filthy just being around them.…My feet subconsciously brought me back to the university that Rosalie and I attended. We had seen each other for the first time at the university gates.Rosalie was adored by everyone, while I was just a nobody from the sticks.A shocking burglary gave me the chance to get closer to her. I threw myself in front of Rosalie to protect her, getting stabbed twice in the process.As I teetered between life and death, I could only use the single paper crane I had on me to soothe Rosalie's frazzled feelings. A sense of responsibility had also spread through my chest at that moment. I knew that it was my duty to protect her no matter what happe

Playing the role of the mediator, Harry pretended to advise me as well."She's right, Cam. It's time to stop causing a fuss. Ms. Smith didn't eat or sleep just to look for you. Don't you feel sorry for her?"He then approached me and tried to pat my shoulder, but I swiftly dodged away."Don't touch me with your filthy hands," I said.Rosalie's temper exploded. "Don't be so ungrateful. Harry's being respectful."Her tone turned smug when she noticed what I was holding. "Stop making a fuss and come home with me. How can you claim not to miss me when you bought my favorite cake?"Rosalie approached me and tried to take the bag from me, wearing a coy expression.I didn't spare a glance at her when I tossed the bag into the trash, saying, "You're overthinking. I only bought the cake because I was craving it. Tell your dear Harry to buy it for you if you want to eat it."I hailed a cab and headed home after I was done speaking, ignoring Rosalie's hysterical cries that echoed behind m

"Huh?" Rosalie asked, seeming not to understand my words."Let's get a divorce," I repeated. "When do you want to go to the courthouse? Do you want to do it right now?"Harry immediately tried to smooth things over. "You're a man, Cam. You should be more understanding. It won't do anyone any good if you insist on being stubborn like this."I simply waved his words away. I grabbed the divorce papers I had prepared beforehand and placed it on the coffee table, saying, "I'm being serious. Let's get a divorce. Go ahead and sign the papers."I then penned my own signature on the dotted line.Rosalie finally snapped back to her senses. "Sure. Let's get a divorce. The one who backs out is a loser," she gritted out.Harry hastily tried to stop Rosalie from signing the papers. "You should think carefully about what you're doing, Rosie. Divorce isn't a small matter. Also, where will Cam go after you divorce him?"He was once again trying to paint me as someone who was utterly useless, sug

"This is my home," I retorted with a frown. "You're the one who's trespassing on private property. Maybe I should report you to the police."Rosalie was infuriated by my words. Her eyes burned with anger as she spat, "Cameron, I want you to return to the company right now to deal with the mess you left behind. Don't be an irresponsible person. Don't give me more reasons to look down on you."I scoffed. "Everything was working perfectly when I left, Ms. Smith. Besides, I've already resigned. Whatever's going on with the company doesn't concern me anymore. Why don't you look for your dear chief engineer to handle your problems?"I then told Rosalie to leave.Rosalie backed off for the time being. She looked unbearably awkward as she stood rooted to the spot, wearing a troubled expression.Even a fool could guess that she was facing a major crisis. There was no way that Harry could solve it. Just the fact that he hadn't come along with her meant that he was locked in the research roo

Chapter 9

Rosalie reached Nicholas before I did."Long time no see, Mr. Burt," she said. "My company recently had a breakthrough in our product research. Are you interested in partnering with us? Why don't we go over there to discuss the details?"She was shocked when Nicholas ignored her and Harry, circling them to approach me instead."There you are, Mr. Patterson. Let's have a chat over there."Rosalie clenched her teeth as jealousy burned through her. "Are you feeling alright, Mr. Burt? The man you're talking to is unemployed. He also has a bad reputation. He's the one who ruined our company's latest research."Nicholas frowned deeply. A long time passed before he finally spat, "And why would I listen to you? Come over here, Mr. Patterson. I'd like to discuss our partnership in detail. About the investment—"Both Rosalie and Harry were stunned. They probably couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that Nicholas was favoring me instead of them.…After securing the investments that

It seemed that Rosalie had recalled that particular fact at that moment.It didn't matter that she did. It was already too late.A faraway look appeared in Rosalie's eyes. It was almost as if she was seeing right through me as her thoughts wandered.A long time passed before she finally asked, "Were you really the one who saved me all those years ago, Harry?"Harry's voice was colored with guilt when he answered, "Who else could it be? You're exhausted, Rosie. Why don't you take a break? Let's not argue about this."Rosalie suddenly grabbed Harry's collar with a manic look in her eyes. "You're lying!" she screamed hysterically. "You're not the one who saved me! You lied to me for so many years! Fold a paper crane for me right now! I want to see you do it!"Harry's fingers were trembling when he tried to fold a paper crane. However, he couldn't even fold the basic shape.Rosalie looked incredibly disappointed. She closed her eyes and said, "Get out. Get out right now. I never wan
