Alle Kapitel von Taking Down My CEO Husband: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

“Olivia Lock, do you really think resigning means this is over? Dream on!“Your financial misconduct cost the company at least $1.6 million in losses!”The moment I returned to my desk, Ivy Kane swept all the belongings I just packed onto the floor and began scolding me arrogantly.The surrounding employees exchanged glances, but not a single person spoke.I shot back, “And what exactly do you want from me?”Ivy immediately lifted her chin and pushed even further. “Of course you need to cover the funding shortfall and make up for the company's losses! And you’ll hand over every project you're currently managing to us and stay on to help us complete them!”The projects under my name were practically the lifeblood of the company. Every one of them was a major account that I fought tooth and nail to secure.What Ivy wanted was not only to cement the accusations that I embezzled company funds and falsified financial records, she also wanted to squeeze every last bit of value out of me bef

Did he really think I was an idiot?I spread my hands and mocked, “If Ivy is really that capable, then by all means, hand everything over to her. I'll be waiting to hear about your success.”My refusal only darkened Sean's expression.“Olivia, you're unbelievable. If you're so determined to leave, then leave. But when you can't find another job, don't come crawling back and begging me to take you in.”I smiled.“Don't worry. That day will never come.”What he didn't know was that the people who would soon be crying weren't me.To protect the company's interests, the board instructed me on opening day to install monitoring software on every company computer.The moment the chairman reviewed the system logs, their lies would fall apart on their own.And when that happened, they wouldn't just be facing massive financial penalties.They'd be facing criminal charges.…That night, I packed up my belongings and had my attorney draft a divorce agreement.Once everything was arranged, I checke

Ivy watched her chance to replace me slip away once again. The resentment in her eyes was impossible to miss, though her voice remained sweet and innocent.“That's right, Olivia. Sean only spent the night taking care of me out of kindness. Please don't get the wrong idea.”Back then, I attended nine client dinners in three days to secure a major contract.The nonstop drinking landed me in the hospital with a stomach bleed.Sean claimed he was busy with work and never once came to see me.Now Ivy merely had menstrual cramps, and he was worried enough to stay with her all night.It happened every month.Was he planning to take care of her every month too?A laugh nearly escaped me.Even now, when he kept insisting he wouldn't divorce me, I knew it wasn't out of love.For the past ten years, my entire world revolved around him.Whatever he needed, I gave without hesitation.He grew used to my unconditional devotion.That was why he couldn't accept the fact that I was slipping beyond his

Did she really think such a transparent lie would work on Richard?To everyone's surprise, Sean actually believed her.His suspicious gaze moved back and forth between me and Henry before he suddenly barked,“Olivia, I thought the worst of it was that you were jealous and throwing a tantrum. I never imagined you'd stoop to something this despicable!”Everyone present looked stunned.The expressions around the room became impossible to describe.I could have sworn the word "embarrassing" was written all over Richard's face.At last, he'd had enough.“That's enough!”Richard cut him off sharply.“You're the CEO of a company. Stop making a spectacle of yourself.”Sean's face instantly flushed red.He opened his mouth to defend himself.But Richard's expression remained cold.“When we first opened this branch, I personally instructed Via to install monitoring software on every company computer.“You're questioning the footage now. Are you suggesting that I'm the one who fabricated the evid

On top of that, his reputation within the industry was completely destroyed. Hardly any company was willing to hire him.In the end, he could only scrape by doing odd jobs.Unfortunately, no one knew where Ivy disappeared to. She remained a fugitive.Looking back, I wasn't sure whether I should be grateful that Sean insisted on signing a prenuptial agreement before our marriage. At least none of this affected me financially.Still, wanting to sever all ties with him as quickly as possible, I hired a lawyer and filed for divorce.I assumed that would be the end of it.I never expected our paths to cross again.One morning, just as I arrived at work, I spotted Sean outside my new company's office building.The confident, ambitious man I once knew was gone.He looked hunched over, as though he aged ten years overnight.The moment he saw me, he rushed over with bloodshot eyes.“Olivia, please help me. Just one last time, okay? I know you're close to Mr. Bennett. If you put in a good word f
