Chapter 2

Driving down the hill, I went to another villa of mine to change clothes.

The next day, as soon as I entered the company, I met my assistant.

"Draft a resignation letter for Jack Simmons..."

Before I could finish, a figure walked towards me as if she had been waiting.

It was Rachel Thompson, who had been intimate with Jack yesterday. As she approached, she spoke smugly,

"Good morning, Lily. I'm so sorry, Jack kept me up all night, that's why I'm late."

Even though I had let go, I still felt sick to my stomach.

Jack and I met during our studies abroad, with vastly different family backgrounds.

This man used to be focused solely on his work, never socializing.

Initially, I was attracted by his intense focus when coding.

Later, to protect Jack's pride, I concealed my identity as the Greene heiress.

I chose to squeeze into a 600-square-foot apartment with Jack instead of living in the sprawling mansion my mother bought for me.

For ten years, I spent my youth accompanying him as he developed NORA, the AI whose first half I had written.

He was good to me too. The usually cold and taciturn Jack would confidently promise to give me a perfect wedding in front of others.

But everything changed after his junior, Rachel Thompson, appeared.

He wouldn't allow me near their development team, and our wedding was postponed again and again.

After my persistent nagging, he finally agreed to hold the wedding.

Just when I thought I had finally reached a happy ending...

He made me the laughingstock of everyone because of some vague, untested AI prediction.

Following his hurt came Rachel's shameless provocation.

Thinking of this, I looked up with a slight smile.

"Rachel Thompson, your development team is just one project in my company. If you..."

She didn't hear the rest. I had never threatened her so coldly before. Caught off guard, she stammered a couple of retorts before leaving.

After she left, my assistant fumed, "Rachel Thompson acts so recklessly now, relying on being Jack's junior."

"Ms. Greene, were you just about to process Rachel's resignation?"

I shook my head,

"No, process Jack's resignation."

My voice wasn't loud, but everyone present turned to look at me.

My assistant reflexively blurted out, "What?"

I lowered my head and chuckled. So all these years, it was common knowledge that I loved Jack so pathetically.

That's why he was so confident in running away on our wedding day.

After all, who didn't know that I was Jack Simmons' devoted puppy?

Willing to give up my identity as a billionaire's daughter to personally accompany him in starting a business, even secretly investing billions in resources without letting him know.

Iron-fisted and ruthless in the company, yet completely indulgent towards him. No matter how busy, I would still do his laundry and cook for him every day.

But faced with this love, he once coldly snorted in front of everyone:

"It's her honor to be good to me, the world's top AI engineer."

Back then, I was still complacent, feeling content just to be by his side.

But now I realize how pathetic I've been for the past ten years.

Thinking of this, I coldly continued to my assistant,

"Sever all ties between Jack Simmons and our company."

"Investigate the cause of NORA's malfunction. From now on, Jack Simmons has no connection to our company."

"He's fired."

After dealing with Jack's resignation, I went to the "home" Jack and I shared.
