My dad proposed giving full management of the company to Daniel, but he rejected the offer.
“Dad, I’m already too busy managing my own company, let alone taking over the Westbrook Group. Besides, there’s someone more suitable than me. It’s Lulu.”
After he finished speaking, I could even hear the pounding of my heart, beating like a drum.
Daniel truly understood me. In fact, my dad did not need to force me to find a man to manage the Westbrook Group.
What he never realized was that I was also ambitious and capable in my own right.
But my father’s eyes had never been on me, even though I am just as competent.
Perhaps realizing something and seeing the disappointment in my eyes, my dad, who rarely admitted mistakes, finally wavered.
“Then, Lulu, you can give it a try.”
As if he owed me something, my father promoted me to the position of manager.
I was deeply grateful to Daniel for speaking up for me, and that night, I rewarded him.
But the very next day, I regretted rewarding him. My waist was so sore I could not even straighten my back.
When I went to work, I was surprised to see Miles there.
As I came to my senses, I realized that it would not be so easy to get rid of him, considering his
status.
Back at our engagement party, he had already been announced as my fiancé, and he was given 10% of the company’s shares. As the vice chairman, Miles had every reason to be here.
But when I saw him, I walked right past him, treating him as nothing more than a complete
stranger.
Throughout the entire day, even someone as good at pretending as Miles could not hold it in any longer.
Just as I was about to get off work, Miles grabbed my hand.
“Why are you doing this? I’m telling you, I’ve planted many of my people inside this company. Even your father can’t remove me. And even if Daniel is doing well, he still can’t shake my foundation in the Westbrook Group.”
‘So?” I responded with a small nod.
‘Divorce him and get back together with me. If you do that, I won’t make things hard for you.”
Hearing that, I could not help but laugh.
‘You still haven’t given up?” I asked as I slowly pulled my clothes off my shoulder, revealing the red marks left behind. “I’ve long been Daniel’s woman, and he’s left his mark on me, deeply.” ‘We’ve made love every night in the bed that used to belong to you and me, indulging in each other day and night, nourishing one another… As for you,” I sneered, “you’re too small. Only a blind woman like Monica would be satisfied by something that tiny.”
That small obviously referred to that part, which needed no further explanation.

Every word I said pierced Miles’s heart like a sharp knife.
“Stop, stop. Don’t say it anymore…”
He clutched his head frantically as if trying to block out my words.
But the more he cried, the more I spoke, deliberately describing every detail with greater precision.
I only stopped when I grew tired.
“All right, stop thinking about it. There’s no the slightest chance between you and me anymore.”
With that, I turned and left, feeling refreshed and relieved.
But I did not notice the sorrow behind me slowly transforming into a deep, unreadable expression.
For an entire month while I was working at the company, Miles, surprisingly, did not come to
harass me.
I barely even saw his shadow.
Beyond being surprised, I felt genuinely happy.
It just so happened that I no longer wanted to see his face.
But then, one night, on my way home, I ran into Monica, someone I had not seen in a long time.
It was nighttime. She was crawling on the side of the street, clutching a card with a string of foreign words written on it.
It roughly translated to [Seven dollars per time.]
She appeared to be wearing the same dress she had worn at the wedding, and the bloodstains on it looked like they were from the miscarriage that day.
