《He Chose His Assistant — I Chose Divorce》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 9 章

I sat alone in the empty living room, holding my father's urn in my arms.My phone screen lit up again.Jeff was calling.The ringtone echoed for a long time before stopping, only to start again moments later.I stared at his name as though it belonged to a stranger.Finally, the ringing ceased.A few seconds later, another message came through from a mutual friend—a voice recording.I tapped it open.The background was noisy, with Luna's voice faintly audible in the distance."Jeff, don't pay attention to her. You can't spoil women too much. The more you indulge them, the worse they get."Then came Jeff's cold voice."Carol, don't overthink it. That five-million-dollar ad campaign was because Luna just joined the company. She's my new assistant. I need to establish her authority for her."You'd better take a good look at yourself. Tomorrow, I expect the house to be cleaned properly. Otherwise, don't even think about keeping that million."The message ended.Expressionles

I stared at the text message for a full ten minutes.Then I replied with only two words: [I'll go.]After putting down my phone, I looked at my father's urn and gently traced it with my fingers."Dad, please wait a little longer. I'm going to get justice for you."The next evening, an Ellison family car stopped downstairs. The driver, Jamie, had come to pick me up."Ms. Reynolds, get in. Mr. Ellison doesn't like waiting."He didn't even bother getting out of the car. He simply shouted through the window.I opened the door and sat in the back seat.The car reeked of perfume. It was Luna's usual brand.By the time we arrived at the hotel, Jeff was already waiting in the lounge.The moment he saw the cheap dress I was wearing, he frowned deeply, disgust written all over his face."You're wearing that?"He tossed a garment bag toward me."Change into this. Don't embarrass me."Inside was a fitted white evening gown, elegant and expensive, but not my size.I glanced at the la

As expected, Benson's phone rang.After answering it, his expression turned grave."Ms. Reynolds, bad news. The Ellison Corporation's legal department has stepped in. They've filed a police report against you for embezzlement of duty and extortion. You are their target."The air inside the car froze instantly.After hanging up, Benson furrowed his brows tightly."Jeff is ruthless. He's trying to destroy you completely.""Embezzlement? Extortion?"I let out a cold laugh."When they want to pin a crime on you, there's always a way. He just wants me in prison. He wants me silenced.""Ms. Reynolds, the situation is very unfavorable for us right now."Benson adjusted his glasses."The Ellison Corporation's legal team is top-tier in the industry. They also control vast resources. Once a case is filed, you'll be at a serious disadvantage. I suggest you lay low for now.""No. I'm not hiding."I turned to look at him, my gaze unwavering."Take me back to the old apartment. I'll wa

Miranda Monaghan walked in with a cane, supported by two bodyguards.The moment she entered, she struck the ground hard with her cane."Carol! You ungrateful wretch! The Ellison family fed you for five years—is this how you repay us?"You even dared to spread lies online and ruin the family's reputation! Do you know how many billions the Ellison Corporation lost in market value today?!""Miranda, please mind your words," I said calmly. "What I stated are facts, not rumors. And as for the Ellison family feeding me? In these five years, I worked myself like a servant in your household, attending to every member of your family."When Jeff was drunk, I picked him up. When you were ill, I stayed by your bedside without rest. What I owed the Ellison family, I already repaid in full."On the contrary—your family owes me a life."Miranda trembled with rage, pointing at me."That was your father's bad fate! Who can you blame for that? Luna made a momentary mistake. Do you really have to
