Chapter 2

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?"
