Chapter 1

Once I got home, I made a phone call."I didn't expect you to accept my offer. If you come to my company, I'll give you the best benefits and pay in the whole company!""I will join your company once I settle everything over here, Mr. Richman."Just as I ended the call, Serena came home."Who were you talking with?""The technical team had some issues, so they called me to troubleshoot," I said, making a random excuse.She put down her bag, and the diamond ring on her finger glinted brightly. That was the ring that Hugo gave her at the press conference.In the four years I'd been married to Serena, she'd never once worn the wedding ring that I gave her. She told me that she was allergic to metal and that she couldn't wear any accessories.But now, she was wearing the cheap engagement ring that Hugo gave her."Why did you leave the press conference early? A lot of investors asked me a lot of technical questions. Were you trying to embarrass me?""I saw you were handling things

When I refused her orders without a second thought, a flicker of disbelief flashed across her face."Elio, are you really throwing a tantrum with me over something so minor? I did all of this for the company, for our future!"Don't you hear me speaking to you? Have you gone deaf?!"Serena continued to scream from the sofa, but I'd already returned to the bedroom to rest.-Probably trying to get back at me for what I did, Serena didn't return to our bedroom at all the entire night.The next morning, I made a two-person breakfast like I always did.To my surprise, she offered to drive me to work with her.Ever since we got married, she had never made our relationship public, insisting that business and personal matters remain separate at the company.Even when we left home for work in the morning, she had never once let me ride in the same car with her.I didn’t refuse.I thought that this unnatural act of her fetching me to work was because of how coldly I treated her last n

Last month, the company had recruited several interns, but once the project ended, only two of them would be kept on.I slipped my resignation letter in together with the interns’ termination notices.The HR manager simply assumed I was helping deliver paperwork for the interns. Without even glancing through the documents, he signed them immediately.After signing, he even praised me a little."You and Mr. Snow are Ms. Lockhart's greatest helpers!"I smiled, not saying much more.-The moment I arrived at my office, I received a message from Serena.It was a screenshot of two movie tickets.I knew this was Serena trying to make peace with me.After all, she understood perfectly well that the company’s future project collaborations still depended on the chip technology I had developed."We haven't watched a movie in ages. Let's go see one tonight."I thought about it for a bit, before replying, "There isn’t much going on in the project department tonight, so I can head over

Now that I had decided to divorce Serena, her words no longer had the power to hurt me.That entire night, I never stepped out of the study.Meanwhile, Serena never once came to look for me, either.-Serena left the house early in the morning.I went to the law firm to collect the divorce agreement.The moment I arrived at the company, I immediately began handing over my work to the project department.I knew Serena went to work early on purpose today to give me the cold shoulder and force my hand, thinking that I'd admit defeat.That entire morning, I didn't even try to contact her.At noon, I planned to grab a simple meal in the employee cafeteria, only to run into Serena and Hugo there as well.Originally, I intended to pretend I hadn't seen them, but Hugo deliberately brought Serena over to sit beside me."Eat some more, baby. You're too thin."Hugo intentionally picked up a peeled shrimp and fed it to Serena.The nearby employees looked at Serena and Hugo with obviou

Chapter 5

I placed the divorce agreement I had prepared long ago onto her desk.Originally, I had planned to talk things through with Serena at home tonight, but now it seemed completely unnecessary."You want a divorce?"Serena looked as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing, that I would be the one bringing up a divorce."If you're unhappy with the division of assets, you can change those terms. The house is yours, and I'll give you 5% of the company's shares I own. All I want is five million."Serena knew that five million wasn't nearly enough for the value that I'd created for the company throughout the years, not even a fraction.But now, all I wanted was a speedy divorce."What gives you the right to ask for a divorce?! All I did was a small mistake!"I didn't know what gave her the call to write off infidelity as a small mistake."If you don't sign the divorce agreement, I'll take legal action.Hugo held Serena's hand, pointing at me and shouting, "She doesn't love you! I

The very next day, I moved into the studio apartment I had bought before marriage.It was the only refuge I had ever had from my family growing up.Back then, I thought Serena would finally give me a sense of belonging.Instead, she shattered all my hopes for what a home should be.I wasn't in a hurry to join the new company yet, since my divorce still hadn't been settled.I hadn't even finished unpacking when I heard knocking at the door.At first, I thought it was property management coming to reconnect the utilities. However, when I opened the door, I saw Serena standing there with my mother."Elio, why didn't you answer after I called you so many times? How could you ignore calls from your own mother?"I took one look at Serena. This woman brought my mother here on purpose."Come in."I stepped aside, and Serena helped my mother into the apartment.Serena looked around the small space before turning to me with a dark expression. "See, you can only live in a small apart

Chapter 7

I rejected her without even thinking about it."I already resigned, Serena. Find someone else.""Elio, you've always been the one responsible for this chip, and you're the only one who can fix it!"The urgency in Serena's voice didn't sound fake.After thinking about it for a moment, I eventually agreed to go back and take a look.When I returned to the company, several colleagues assumed I was coming back for good.After learning that I was only there temporarily to help, many of them openly spoke up for me.They couldn't understand how Serena could throw away a four-year marriage just for an assistant who had only been around for three months.I headed straight to the R&D department.The moment Serena saw me, she finally breathed a sigh of relief."Can you fix it? We've already signed contracts with our investors."I carefully checked the chip's program."Yeah, I can.""That's great! I knew I could count on you to fix this, Elio!" Serena seemed ecstatic.My face was exp

"No need," I rejected her again. "That place isn't my home anymore."The next day, I was working overtime on the project.At noon, Serena brought me an exquisitely packed lunchbox."It's all the dishes that you like. Eat it while it's hot," she urged.I took a look. It was a meal from the famous restaurant downstairs. During lunchtime, you would even need to make a reservation in advance to eat there.Serena used to love bringing Hugo there for meals.Without taking my eyes off the computer screen, I replied flatly, "The next time you go with Hugo, you don't need to bring food for me."A trace of awkwardness flashed across Serena's face before she hurriedly explained, "I went out to buy this for you during lunch. When I didn't see you at the cafeteria, I asked around in the project department and found out you were still busy working."Only then did I finally look directly at Serena."Well, then there's even less reason for you to go through the trouble. We have nothing to do

Chapter 9

The video showed Hugo publicly accusing me by name, claiming that I had stolen confidential project files from my former company before jumping to a competitor.He also accused me of having no professional ethics, calling me shameless and despicable for doing something so underhanded.The new chip technology had already attracted massive attention. As the lead developer, I quickly became the center of discussion. Before long, the video went viral.I skimmed through the comments for a while, reading through all sorts of opinions.In the end, I found it all completely tasteless and closed the app. Then, I immediately called the police without any hesitation.My new company also issued a public statement, saying that the relevant authorities were welcome to investigate and that no theft had occurred.I spent the entire night organizing evidence, and Serena's company also released an official statement.They stated that I resigned through regular procedures and that none of Hugo's a

I deliberately acted like I didn't see her and wanted to avoid her, but she stood in my way directly."I've been waiting for you, Elio.""What do you want?"I raised my eyebrow."I've ended things with Hugo. We won't have any contact anymore, and I fired him too."As I reached for my car door, I replied casually, "What happens between you and Hugo has nothing to do with me."I brushed aside the hand Serena had placed in front of me.Suddenly, Hugo came rushing out from nowhere and grabbed Serena, trying to pull her away."Serena, you said you loved me the most in bed! You can't treat me like this! Won't you marry me?"Serena shoved him away as hard as she could."I already told you I won't meet you anymore! You're the reason why Elio divorced me! I don't love you, and I won't get married to you!"I had no interest in this ridiculous drama and simply drove away.Through the rearview mirror, I could still see Serena and Hugo struggling with each other in the parking lot.Aft
