Chapter 1

The Intern, My Cheating Husband, and My Billion-Dollar Revenge

For three months, this naive intern had been working with us.

Now, my husband wanted to make her a new shareholder.

His friend tried to talk some sense into him.

"Skylar Reed served dangerously adulterated drinks to a client, leading to their hospitalization with severe internal bleeding; she sent a funeral bouquet to a sick client, causing them to suffer a heart attack on the spot; she baselessly accused an international client of corporate espionage, almost getting the company sued… Are you *really* sure you want to make someone like that a new shareholder?"

"Plenty of our loyal mid-to-senior level employees don't even have shares yet. If you do this, they'll be completely disheartened, won't they?"

"Besides, will your wife even agree? She's the company's second-largest shareholder."

My husband, Damian, just puffed on his cigarette and chuckled.

"Ellie will definitely agree; she never challenges my decisions. As for those old-timers, if they're not on board, they can pack their bags."

"Skylar might be young and prone to mistakes, but she has ambition. What's wrong with bending the rules for a good employee?"

"When I look at Skylar, I see the young Ellie, before life got so tough. I couldn't shield the young Ellie back then, but I can shield the young Skylar. I can't let her go through the same hardships we did."

I listened in silence, a cold smirk playing on my lips, then turned and walked away.

At the shareholder meeting, Damian proposed Skylar Reed become a new shareholder.

The company veterans instantly objected, but I raised my hand.

"I agree!"

After all, this debt-ridden company was just looking for someone to take the fall.
