Chapter 3

As a company shareholder, besides firing Jack, I also needed to settle the matter of leaving him with nothing. So I had to find Jack to sign the papers. But looking around, I didn't see Jack anywhere.

I could only go back to the bedroom and start packing my things. But before I had packed much, I heard the front door open.

Then a series of indescribable sounds arose, followed by...

My whole body trembled. I got up and walked to the bedroom door.

The two were kissing passionately on the sofa. Jack had his back to me, completely unaware, while Rachel clung to his embrace, her eyes meeting mine.

Her breathless moans grew louder, her cries both seductive and pitiful.

"Jack, honey, is this okay? Lily is still your fiancée. Won't she be angry if we do this in your home?"

Jack seemed to hear a joke, his wandering hands growing bolder.

"Fiancée? So what? She's just a puppy! Does she dare to get angry?"

"Besides, after being with the same face for ten years, I'm so tired of it!"

"Angry? No way! I just need to crook my finger, and she'll come running back, yapping!"

I clenched my fists tightly, my stomach churning violently with nausea.

Ten years of memories, from our first meeting to getting together, all our little moments together.

At this moment, with his few words, they instantly shattered into millions of sharp blades. The mirror of beautiful memories was smashed, turning into piercing dust that stabbed every cell in my body.

The pain was unbearable.

In the end, it all turned into a dead numbness.

I had imagined I would be heartbroken when we broke up, but I never thought that in Jack's eyes, I was just this kind of existence.

Forget it. The Jack Simmons I fell in love with ten years ago, that coding genius, is long dead.

I made a sound, clearing my throat. Jack, who had his back to me, finally noticed.

His whole body trembled. After hearing the noise, he whirled around.

Seeing it was me, his face flashed with panic and terror before settling into barely concealed smugness.

"Now you know to come back and apologize?"

Seeing no reaction from me, he pushed Rachel out of his arms and looked around.

His gaze finally landed on the suitcase,

"Yesterday you drove off and talked about breaking up. Weren't you acting tough? What happened to that spirit?"

"Let me tell you, if you want my forgiveness, it's not just about apologizing to Rachel anymore."

"You also need to promise that you're ignorant and will never interfere with our development team's affairs again. All the company's funds need to be transferred to the development team!"

He stuck out his neck, inadvertently revealing the red marks on it.

I suppressed the nausea in my heart, too lazy to argue.

"I won't do it, and I have nothing more to say to you."

I threw on a coat and slapped the voluntary stock transfer agreement on the table onto his body.

"Remember to read and sign it. Trust me, you have no other choice."

Jack didn't look at it. I don't know what he misunderstood, but his voice behind me grew more arrogant.

"Weren't you so brave, throwing away the ring? Now you know to come back and grovel?"

"It won't be so easy for me to forgive you now. Who told you to offend Rachel? How about this, pack a red envelope with 20 or 30 million dollars."

I was amused by his righteous attitude. If it were before, I would have definitely complied.

Forget about a mere 20 or 30 million, I would have given him my life.

But now, I didn't stop walking.

Pulling my suitcase, I opened the door and left.

I thought I had expressed myself clearly enough. After all, besides leaving with my suitcase, there was also that stock transfer agreement on the table. But unexpectedly, he still misunderstood.

Not looking at the stock transfer agreement, he thought I was still obedient to him like before. He believed taking away my suitcase was just to give him and Rachel some space.

So the messages he sent became even more arrogant.

[What, now you believe in AI's predictions? Realizing I'll become the richest man in the world, so you're starting to suck up to me?]

[Lily Greene, I know you have some money, but compared to my future, what does it amount to? Now that you've come to your senses, shouldn't you think about how to properly apologize to me?!]

I didn't divorce Jack, I just sent him a dismissal notice.

My assistant also told me that my father, who was abroad, would be coming to Shanghai in the next few days to discuss the company's return to the Greene Group.

By then, I would take NORA and preside over the Greene Group, finally revealing myself to the public as the world's richest woman.

But I still didn't expect that two days later, Jack would barge into my CEO office, bringing Rachel along.

Seeing the front desk security trying to stop them, Jack angrily shouted: "You dogs dare to stop us? Lily Greene is my lapdog, do you want to be fired?"
