After my company went bankrupt, my wife, who used to love me dearly, completely changed. She blamed me constantly, saying I was useless, and kept demanding a divorce. “Marcus Shaw, I’ve been with you all these years. Can’t you just let me go?” Her mother, Helen, looked at me too. “Marcus, I know you love Rachel. But since you’ve gone bankrupt, you can’t drag her down with you. Just divorce her!” Her brother Tyler even pulled out divorce papers and forced me to sign. “The house and savings go to Rachel. You keep your failing company! Sign it now!” I said nothing. I signed silently, packed my things, and left the house. They had no idea that while the company was barely breaking even, I’d already secured investment. We even had new research breakthroughs ready. “Rachel, do we really have to get divorced? What if my company turns around soon?” I looked at Rachel and asked. But Rachel just sneered at me. “Marcus, don’t think I don’t know what’s going on!” “You know exactly what state your company is in!” “Do you know how much you’ve sold off just to pay employee salaries?” “If I stay with you, I won’t just end up with nothing—I’ll have to share your debts!” Looking at me, Rachel said flatly, “Marcus, there’s nothing more to say. Let’s divorce!” “I already wrote up the agreement. Cash and the house are mine. That failing company is yours!” I looked at Rachel, disappointment filling my eyes. Years ago, to give Rachel a good life, I worked day and night. Even during my company’s glory days, her mother and brother took plenty of money from me. And now, the moment my company hit a rough patch, Rachel couldn’t wait to split everything with me. In that moment, I smiled slightly. “Fine!” I didn’t say anything else. After all, once Rachel said those words, there was nothing left to discuss. All I wanted now was to cut ties with Rachel completely. When I signed the divorce papers, their whole family lit up with joy. Tyler was even more direct—he made us take the agreement straight to city hall and finalize the divorce. Holding my divorce papers, I hadn’t even had time to speak when I heard Helen say to Rachel, “Rachel, you should’ve left Marcus ages ago!” “Remember Derek? He’s back from overseas and says he still really likes you. Now that you’re divorced from Marcus, you should get in touch with him!” “Derek isn’t some loser like Marcus. He runs his own company now and has real money!” Then she looked at me. “Marcus, you and Rachel have nothing to do with each other anymore!” “When you go bankrupt, don’t you dare come crawling to our family!” Hearing this family’s words, I laughed bitterly. “Don’t worry. But if my company does turn around, please don’t come looking for me either!” As soon as I said that, Tyler spoke up first. “Marcus, what are you dreaming about?” “You’re already like this, and you still think you can make a comeback? Let me tell you, it’s impossible!” I said nothing. I just smiled, took my divorce papers and certificate, and walked away quickly.
Coming out of city hall, I unexpectedly saw a man holding a bouquet. When he saw Rachel, he rushed right up to her. “Rachel, I’m back. I know you got divorced today. I don’t mind that you were married!” The man said this, and Rachel’s face turned shy. Watching Rachel’s expression, my heart grew colder. I never imagined that the woman who always said she loved me more than life itself would be so decisive the moment my company hit trouble. Right after the divorce, she immediately threw herself into another man’s arms. In that moment, I felt nothing but ridicule. After thinking it over, I decided to ignore this family. After all, I still had plenty of things to do. When I got back to the company, my secretary rushed over immediately. “The other company sent people. They said we can sign the contract today!” Hearing my secretary’s words, I smiled. Originally, I went home to tell Rachel this good news. But I never expected to be met with such cold treatment from her whole family. Now, I’d actually shaken off Rachel and her family. The signing ceremony went extremely smoothly. After learning about our research results, they transferred the money on the spot. They also announced that once our new product was manufactured, they’d help our company go public. After the investors left, I threw myself back into work. Just then, I unexpectedly received a text from my bank. Ten thousand dollars had been charged to my card for a handbag purchase. I knew Rachel had done this. “Contact the bank and cancel all my supplementary cards!” I told my secretary. Since I was already divorced from Rachel, naturally I couldn’t let her keep using my money. What’s more, when we divorced, she’d already taken all the cash from the house—over a million dollars. Now she was still using my card to shop! The secretary immediately called the bank and had all my supplementary cards canceled. Naturally, I didn’t dwell on this matter and focused entirely on the project. But I didn’t expect that just ten minutes later, Rachel would call me frantically. “Marcus, you canceled my card?” On the other end, Rachel’s voice came through. “Yes,” I nodded. “How dare you cancel my card?” On the other end, Rachel immediately accused me angrily. “We’re already divorced. It’s not appropriate for you to keep using my supplementary card, is it?” I asked back. Hearing this, Rachel fell silent. “Marcus, transfer me more money. I’m out of cash!” Hearing this, I laughed bitterly. We just got divorced, and I gave her over a million in savings. Now I barely had anything left in my own account. How could she be out of money? “Miss Rachel, we just got divorced, and all my money is in your hands!” “Right now, you have way more money than I do!” I said coldly. “Marcus, I gave my money to my mom. I’m broke now! Just because we’re divorced, is this how you treat me?”
Hearing Rachel’s words, I laughed bitterly. “You’re the one who wanted the divorce. What’s more, you know exactly how much money you took from me!” “I don’t have much left in my account. Don’t you think what you’re doing is excessive?” I said coldly. She knew perfectly well I barely had any money left, yet she could still say these things. In this moment, all I felt toward Rachel was disgust. “Marcus, how can you be like this! Your company’s going bankrupt anyway. What do you need that little bit of money for?” On the other end, Rachel’s voice was full of anger. Hearing this, I laughed bitterly. Did she really think that just because my company was going bankrupt, I wouldn’t need money? “Marcus, you’re so disappointing!” Seeing I wasn’t responding, Rachel angrily hung up. Right now, I just shook my head. I was too lazy to keep dealing with Rachel. After all, I was very busy. There was too much going on at the company. With the funding secured, all the R&D departments were working. Soon, our research results came through. When the investors found out, they added even more investment and told us to manufacture the products as quickly as possible. Now the company wasn’t short on funds at all. Soon our product launched and became an instant hit. The company’s market value kept climbing, and the investors even told me to go public as soon as possible. After the company started turning a profit, the first thing I did was give all employees a six-month bonus. I knew that if they hadn’t stayed with me, working overtime constantly, my company might have truly collapsed. We’d never have achieved these results. Now I even used my money to buy myself a new villa. That day, I opened my phone and unexpectedly saw Rachel had posted on social media. In the post was a photo of Rachel and Derek together, both smiling sweetly, holding hands. Rachel even wrote: “Leave the wrong person, meet true love!” Looking at Rachel’s post, I smiled and even liked it. After all, she was right. Leaving the wrong person did make life better. Half an hour later, Rachel called. On the other end, Rachel’s voice was slightly cold. “Marcus, why did you like my post?” “Your company’s about to go bankrupt, right? Marcus, don’t think I’ll feel sorry for you!” On the other end, Rachel’s voice was extremely cold. “Let me tell you, Derek and I truly love each other. We’re going to be happy together. As for you, after you go bankrupt, just hide away and don’t come looking for our family!” “Don’t worry, even if I go bankrupt, I’d never look for you again. But from now on, please don’t bother me either!” I smiled and hung up. Rachel had no idea how well I was doing now. As for Rachel, she had nothing to do with me anymore. After hanging up on Rachel, I was about to rest when my secretary sent me a message. “Remember to attend tomorrow’s banquet!” I immediately replied. Tomorrow’s banquet was a gathering of the city’s business community. Many people wanted to discuss partnerships with me. After all, I was quite famous in the city now.
That evening, my secretary picked me up and we headed straight to the venue. What I didn’t expect was that as soon as we arrived, she pointed to a figure in the distance. “That’s Rachel over there!” After all, Rachel and I had just divorced recently, and many people at the company knew Rachel. Following my secretary’s direction, sure enough, I saw Rachel. Rachel was holding Derek’s arm. They were standing at the venue entrance and happened to see me too. When she saw me, Rachel’s expression immediately darkened. “Marcus, what are you doing!” “Why did you follow me here!” “I already told you clearly—I have nothing to do with you!” Looking at Rachel, I shook my head. I was too lazy to deal with her now. “I came here to attend the banquet. You’ve misunderstood!” After saying that, I prepared to leave, but Rachel grabbed me relentlessly. “Marcus, your failing company is about to collapse. What are you doing here?” “Marcus, don’t think I don’t know—you just came here to scam people!” “Leave now!” Rachel pointed at me, speaking rapidly. Looking at Rachel, I shook my head. “Whether I’m here to scam people or not really has nothing to do with you!” After saying that, I prepared to leave, but Rachel wouldn’t let it go and blocked me directly. “Marcus, I can’t let you scam people!” “Besides, you’re my ex-husband. Who knows if you scam someone, it might affect me!” Looking at Rachel, I laughed bitterly. I knew Rachel was just afraid I might make a comeback. She just didn’t know I’d already made my comeback. I looked at Rachel coldly. “No matter what, you and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. So please stop bothering me!” After saying that, I pulled my hand away and prepared to enter the venue. But just as I was about to enter, Derek blocked me. “Marcus, not just anyone can go in here!” “You need an invitation! You don’t even have an invitation. You think you can just walk in?” He looked at me with contempt. Looking at these two, I shook my head helplessly. I didn’t expect to run into them here, or to be blocked so relentlessly. Just then, several executives entered from outside. Seeing me, they rushed right over. “Why are you still at the entrance? Everyone’s waiting for you!” Several executives were about to pull me inside, but Rachel and Derek panicked. “Everyone, he’s a fraud!” Rachel quickly spoke up. “Don’t let him deceive you!” “His company’s about to go bankrupt!” Hearing Rachel’s words, I could only sneer. I never imagined that after the divorce, the first person who wanted me dead would be my ex-wife. But the executives were all stunned. “How could his company go bankrupt? His company’s about to go public!” “What?” As soon as they said that, Rachel froze. When she turned to look at me, anger filled her face. “Marcus, why didn’t you tell me something this important?”
