Semua Bab Building A Business Empire After Divorce: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Southsky City, the Royal River Residences.As Southsky is the state capital, housing prices there have always been sky-high, and the Royal River Residences stands out even among them.Shawn Holt was 29 years old. Although he graduated from Southsky University, he could never afford a house in the Royal River Residences with his salary. The only reason he could live there was thanks to his wife, who was the president of a company.After graduation, Shawn took on a job as a librarian at Southsky University library. The pay was decent, but compared to his wife's net worth of tens of millions, the money he earned was basically negligible."Honey, come home early tonight...""I have to work late tonight. I'll crash at my parents' place. Sort yourself out for dinner!""You're going to your parents' place again? But today's our...""Sorry, something came up! Gotta go, bye."Beep... beep... beep...Hearing the busy tone, Shawn shook his head helplessly.He was going to say that it wa

Crystal climbed into the passenger seat and turned to look at Shawn.From this angle, she could see his determined profile and vaguely sense his anger.Crystal frowned unhappily. Was it necessary to make such a big fuss?Shawn Holt, I didn't think you were so narrow-minded. I misjudged you!Neither of them spoke along the way. The atmosphere in the car was very tense. Ten minutes later, they stopped in Royal River Residences' underground car park."Let's go."Shawn said coldly and headed for the elevator first.Their home was on the 10th floor. The building had two units per floor, covering nearly 400 square meters.Verifying his fingerprint, he opened the door and walked in. By this time, Crystal was fuming.She felt that she was already being very considerate to Shawn's feelings. She was just having dinner with a friend, but her husband had rushed over, acted unreasonably and even hit her friend. After that, she had even left her injured friend behind to follow her husband h

"What?! You're sad and angry? I'm the one who should be sad and angry! Today's our wedding anniversary, but you were out fooling around with another man. How do you think that makes me feel?"Shawn was frustrated and simply voiced what was on his mind.Crystal froze. She could see his anger and his heartbreak. Tears flowing, she pouted. "Then do you love me?""What do you think?" Shawn scoffed.Both crying and smiling, Crystal exclaimed, "Honey, I love you too!"An hour later, leaning against the headboard, Crystal said sweetly, "Honey, I'm hungry."Shawn had calmed down by now. He nodded before heading out to prepare a midnight snack.Watching him go, Crystal's eyes held mixed emotions.They say marriage is like wearing shoes; only you can tell whether they fit.Crystal knew that in many ways, Shawn was the perfect pair of shoes for her. He was gentle, considerate, and perceptive.He could fulfill all her fantasies about love.But life wasn't just about love.She was under

Shawn drove away from the university.He drove aimlessly. The June weather was scorching hot, yet his heart was ice-cold.Memories of his wife played in his mind. Now, they seemed like a joke.Without realizing it, he arrived at New City Avenue. It was a developing area, still under construction, so there were few people and few cars.Suddenly, his car shook. Shawn instinctively braked.He got out to check. A van had rear-ended him.His rear bumper was broken. When it rains, it pours. He was already feeling down, and now he had to deal with this problem too."Can you even drive? You think you own the road just because you're driving an Audi? How can you drive 25 on the main road? You don't have money for gas or something? Screw you!"The driver was a middle-aged man who wore sunglasses. He was fat and mean-looking, with a thick gold chain around his neck.He got out and checked the vehicles, then pointed at Shawn and started cursing, spitting saliva everywhere."Watch your mo

Seeing Shawn just snort, Crystal was annoyed, but she suppressed it. "The culprit has been found. He turned himself in. My uncle made some calls, so he'll get at least 10 years in prison. I've avenged you, so can't you be a bit more appreciative?"The Stewart family was quite powerful in Southsky, with each generation containing family members involved in business or politics. Crystal's uncle was the second-in-command of the city council.However, Shawn wasn't concerned with how long the sentence would be. He looked up at Crystal, eyes intense. "Just one guy? What's his name?"Crystal didn't meet his gaze. She smoothed her hair, grabbed an apple and peeled it as she explained, "His name's Wilson Smith. He was the van driver who rear-ended you. During the quarrel, you punched him and restrained him. His friends were in the van. They panicked and knocked you unconscious. But Wilson Smith wasn't satisfied and took revenge on you after you passed out."Wilson Smith was the foul-mouthed
