All Chapters of She Promoted Me, But I Quit: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

When I opened my eyes, I saw my CEO wife, Rita Scanlon, hand me an appointment letter that had gold along the side. She smiled as she said, "Your hard work all these years has been recognized by the company, Casey. This project is very important to the company, and I want you to be in charge of taking our company to greater heights."The entire meeting room applauded after her announcement, and the board of directors looked at me with approval. I was not happy at the sight of the appointment letter, and I felt so nauseous that I almost threw up.Back in my past life, this was the appointment letter that ruined my life and caused my death.I believed my hard work all those years was finally rewarded, and I gave up my original plan to continue my studies overseas. I chose to pour my heart and soul into the company's new project. I worked day and night like a fool to make sure I did not let down the trust of Rita and the board of directors.Rita became adamant about using Hudson Cobb'

I was about to leave the company doors when Hudson suddenly appeared behind me and looked at me with a taunting expression. "Have you gone crazy, Casey? The project is about to go live, and it is slated to be a landmark of the industry. We might even get listed because of the project, and you can only watch with jealousy as I achieve financial freedom from this."All I did was smile as I watched how gleeful Hudson was. Financial freedom? Once that project fell apart, all he would have was billions in debt. At this thought, I smiled even wider. "I hope you do a good job with this, Hudson. I believe that you will be able to lead the company to greater heights and take over the company in the future."I patted his shoulder and said this with great sincerity. Hudson was taken aback, and he scoffed. "Stop acting so sarcastic about this. You are just jealous of me. Just you wait. Once I attain financial freedom, all you will be left with will be regrets."Hudson continued to imagine a fut

Rita whispered into my ear and sounded happy and reliant on me. She sounded like she truly loved me. When I heard her call me "Hubby," I laughed sarcastically to myself.Even Rita had forgotten that this was the first time she called me "Hubby" since Hudson joined the company. Our so‑called marriage had died a long time ago.That was when Rita's phone suddenly rang. An anxious look flashed in her eye when she saw the name on her phone screen. She was about to say something when I gave her an understanding smile and spoke before she could. "Is there an emergency at the office? You should go. Work comes first."Rita was taken aback, and she nodded with relief. She kissed me softly on the cheek. "I promise to make it up to you when the project goes live tomorrow."She left in a hurry.Rita had kissed me many times, and this time, I found it particularly disgusting. As a CEO, she should have known very well that the project was riddled with problems, and it could never go live success

"What? How could it be my name on it?"Rita immediately snatched the agreement and took a closer look. She was stunned when she saw her name signed on it. "That would make me the only shareholder of the company."It took her a while before she realized something, and her head jerked up as she looked at me in disbelief. "Casey, you… You tricked me."Before she finished her sentence, Rita lunged at me in anger and grabbed me by the collar. Her expression was contorted with hate, and her face was right in mine.I looked at her and felt ironic about everything that was happening.Rita had never been like this. When we first got into a relationship, she had been a kind and innocent university student. She came to a strange city on her own and met me, a downtrodden young man who had just been laid off and did not have enough money for a meal.Even though Rita was just as broke as I was, she still bought me a meal.After that, we stayed in contact and started to get to know each other

I did not expect Rita to be eyeing it all this time, and I sneered silently when I saw her acting this way. It was too late for her to ask for my help after what she tried to do to me.This time, I ignored Rita's plea for help. I was no longer the man who was in love with her. She should get out of my life.I turned away from her with a distant look on my face. When Rita noticed this, she was taken aback. She quickly snapped out of it and said viciously, "You are choosing to leave me in the lurch after we have been together for so many years? You will regret this."Rita's eyes were filled with hate and malevolence.I was about to enjoy Hudson's comeuppance when Rita suddenly stomped her feet and pointed at me with a panicked look. "Where is my card?" Her eyes widened as if she had just lost something important. "Did you steal my card, Casey? Where did you hide it?"I could hardly believe what I was hearing.How could this woman say something like this? This was what it looked lik
