Semua Bab My Shares Went to the Assistant's Dog: Bab 1 - Bab 8

In that instant, the guests in the banquet hall looked at one another in confusion; it was a humiliating farce within the circles of the rich and influential, while my friends and family were all indignant on my behalf."How can Ms. Jillard be so muddle-headed? How could she call off her wedding with Mr. Fuller 20 times just for some lowly assistant?""Mr. Fuller treated her so well that he donated one of his kidneys to her, which caused Mr. Fuller Senior to cut him off entirely."Upon hearing all the whispers around me, I let out a wry smile, thinking that even outsiders had realized that Emma Jillard had taken things too far this time.Josie Hall, Emma's mother, rushed onto the stage, grabbing my arm as she said, "You should calm the guests down and get everyone started on dinner, Shawn. You can just tell them that Emma had an urgent matter at work."I looked indifferently at Josie, feeling nothing but utter disappointment. "I've said that same excuse 19 times—just as Emma had s

I calmly slid off the ring on my finger and tossed it into the trash. "I bet that by the 21st wedding, Jillard Group will cease to exist in Bellevue."Upon hearing that, Emma turned around sharply and slapped me across the face. "You know how difficult it was for Jillard Group to get to where it is today, Shawn! How dare you curse the company over a mere wedding! Charlie was right about you. You're nothing but a selfish freeloading man!"I let out a scoff when I heard Emma's evaluation of me. "You two should just get married if you've already slept together—stop hiding behind these bets and acting in a way that revolts people."I spoke loudly enough that all the nearby guests turned to look in our direction.Charlie flushed deeply. "Ms. Jillard and I have nothing more than a professional relationship, Mr. Fuller. How could you slander us like this? If you're so intent on marrying Ms. Jillard, I'll make sure she wins the next bet. Is that enough for you, Mr. Fuller?"He then steppe

I was finally tracked down by Emma, who couldn't reach me, on the fifth day. She managed to get me out of there despite her slight build. She brought me back to the Fuller family and directly berated Dad, declaring that she would take me in and protect me with everything she had if none of them wanted me.I was left with lifelong trauma following Mom's death and my abduction incident. It was Emma who slowly taught me how to love myself again and how to pull myself back from the edge. She wasn't just my lover—she was my only source of strength and hope.I was spiraling in a daze when Emma entered, guiding Charlie along. She then pointed at me with a look of pure malice and snarled, "Charlie and I refuse to accept a settlement on this matter! I want him locked up this instant! If he used a pen today, he'll have the nerve to use a knife in the future!"Charlie pressed a hand against his ribs, looking pained.It was then that the police officer whispered some advice to me. "Your action

Emma charged toward me and slapped me hard across the face. "You clearly haven't learned your lesson! Get on your knees and apologize to Charlie this instant!"I met her gaze without flinching. "You're out of your mind if you think I'm doing that. You played me with one lie after another, but karma is coming for you and Jillard Group soon!"Emma, irritated by my composure, turned around and ordered, "Grab Shawn this instant!"I raised my voice at the bodyguards, telling them to stop. "I was at fault regarding the previous incident, so I came here specifically to apologize."Emma stared at me with suspicion, her expression filled with doubt. Charlie came over as well, still holding Dobby in his arms.I restrained my revulsion and looked at him with a faint smile.Charlie said with an air of generosity, "I think we should give Shawn a chance, Emma. I'm sure he has finally realized his mistakes. I think it's only right for him to apologize to Dobby as well since he's already here."
