After handing the company over to my husband, Everyone's address to me changed from Miss Sterling to Mrs. Vance. I was also happy to lie flat at home. Until three years later, my husband picked me up for our wedding anniversary, I saw at a glance that he, who usually only drinks Kopi Luwak, actually had a Dunkin' Donuts bag in his car. He watched me staring at the bag and explained: "This was given to me by the new Receptionist at the company, she said buying coffee recently is very cheap, bought too much, so casually gave it to me." "I was also too embarrassed to refuse her face." I looked at him with folded arms: "Is the little girl pretty?" Hearing my sarcasm, Julian Vance acted uncharacteristically: "If you get jealous randomly again, get the hell out of the car!" Really been a long time, long enough for him to forget that the 'Sterling' of Sterling Enterprises is not his 'Vance'. Chapter 1 I opened the window, the takeout bag smoothly fell into the trash can next to it. Julian slammed the brakes, ignoring traffic conditions, quickly stopped, ran to the trash can. I saw his vicious eyes before getting off, and that silent curse word. Watching Julian, who has mysophobia, rummaging in the dirty trash can with both hands, my heart felt a burst of nausea. I quickly sat in the driver's seat, Julian's cursing voice still in my ear: "Wasting food is shameful do you know!" A person with high blood sugar from years of social drinking, saying me throwing his cheap coffee is wasting food. One foot on gas, his voice thrown behind head. Back home, Julian was not as irritable as imagined. Still good voice good air explained: "Wifey, don't be angry, you left me on the street today we count as even." I didn't pay attention to him, looking at the Haute Couture dress my best friend sent me. Julian seeing my attitude was angry out of nowhere. "Serena, haven't you noticed you are old and ugly these years?" Married ten years, I never heard such mean words from Julian's mouth. I looked at myself in the mirror, indeed aged a lot, these years flying domestic and abroad for my dad's illness, exhausted physically and mentally, long lost mood to dress up myself, comparing with Julian's well-dressed look, I appeared overly old. My mouth however refused to spare people: "Yes ah, so you now go find young ones." Julian frowned: "Don't go wronging people little girl, I just want to remind you should also pay attention to maintenance, don't be like an auntie all day, look at what you are wearing!" I didn't even name names, he defaulted who I was talking about. "I definitely not as pretty as the new receptionist." I also angry out of nowhere. Does only sleeping together count as cheating? A husband appreciating young girl's beauty, accepting young girl's showing good is normal? "Serena, these years I bowed down and scraped for your family, poured all my heart blood, I don't expect you grateful to me, only beg you don't find trouble for me anymore, I am also very tired, I also need rest." Really? Controlling other people's company, very tired? Hypocritical. "Then how about this, tomorrow I go back to company help you." I tentatively asked. Julian smiled, could see contempt and disdain in this smile. Tone however still incomparable gentle. "No need wifey, you already took care of dad for eight years, now many things in company you don't understand. Husband earning money raising you not good?" "Husband working for your family, you are the boss. Husband is your worker for a lifetime." I this boss almost becoming a commander without soldiers. All this is thanks to my dad. Initially insisted finding me a Trophy Husband, saying women can't inherit foundation. Later even forced Julian to me. He said all surnamed Vance (or similar logic in localized context, maybe just "he is family"), giving him not count giving outsider. Julian ability super strong, but family background pitiful, my dad toughly said this is best son-in-law candidate. Julian however did the opposite. He didn't pester, even more no joy of flying on branch. Contrarily, he performed very fearful. Knelt at my door three days three nights, said thank Mr. Sterling appreciation, Miss not fancying me is should be, but I later definitely try best help Miss. I couldn't help look him differently, barely accepted his existence. In later getting along even completely fell in love with him. Less than two years after our marriage, my dad stroke coma, until now not awake. Julian also from initial worry, became current waiting, waiting my dad swallow breath, whole Sterling Enterprises will be all his. Pity ah, how could my dad not leave a back hand. Chapter 2 I still went to company. Long time no come, company already changed big look. Receptionist immediately greeted: "Mrs. Vance good!" I frowned: "Why not call me President Sterling!" Receptionist showed unnatural expression, obviously current President is already Julian. I also didn't make it difficult for her: "Heard new receptionist came, why I didn't see?" Receptionist hesitated unwilling to say. "Lisa, even I don't care company business anymore, but still have right let you leave." Receptionist scared immediately explained: "Madam, is President Vance personally transferred receptionist to his office as secretary this morning." So impatient. I immediately rushed upstairs, that sound after sound of Madam called me very irritable. At Julian office door heard two people giggling sound. I broke door in, two people's expression however no trace of panic. That girl called Chloe even happily welcomed up: "Auntie, why you came?" "Auntie?" I doubted. Julian however a serious look: "You go out first." I not angry but laughed: "Julian, you told that little girl I am your mom ah! Come call Mom listen!" Julian face ugly: "She misunderstood herself, I will explain clearly to her." "You come do what?" My dad's company still can't come: "Come company of course to work." Julian unexpectedly didn't stop: "Good, you work, I ask leave." Picked up clothes then walked out. Soon I understood why he so straightforward. Because in company no one listens to me. No matter what I do everyone not cooperate, passing break room I heard employees still discussing my air drop. "A woman enjoy happiness at home not good? Insist come company mix, what she understand?" "Isn't it, still Old Mr. Sterling has eyes, look how good President Vance does now." "Don't say money raises people, you look at her want temperament no temperament want figure no figure. President Vance not divorcing her is mercy." To rectify and clean up, I started working day and night, luckily there is a veteran employee always helping me, I successfully signed a order. At Monday's all staff meeting I just wanted announce this good news, heard outside noisy. "Not good, Serena President Sterling signed order exploded! Company directly lost ten million!" I immediately checked computer, really so. I looked at that veteran, his face showed successful smile. I haven't had time to flare up only felt face burning hot. I covered face, Uncle Ben hand hitting me hasn't put down. "Old Sterling how gave birth to you this disgraceful thing, can't keep his property not say, still lost ten million! Company is for you to mess around?" Finished my other side face also emerged slap mark. "Today I teach you for Old Sterling, hurry take your things roll out for me, dare mess around again don't blame me not care past affection." "Not me," my hand pointed at that employee: "You should come explain a bit." That old employee face full grievance: "President Sterling, can't push to me when accident happened ah, I bowed and scraped in company decades, haven't suffered this grievance. Chairman Ben, like this I can't work on." Uncle Ben more angry not hit one place: "Initial Old Sterling decision too correct, from today you not allowed step into company one step." With Uncle Ben's decision, I can no longer stay in company. When I holding things left company, like stripped naked paraded street. Everyone pointing fingers at me. "Long said she no good, look now gray slip left, like rat crossing street." "Hurry go home take child, learn what independent woman that set, don't know how much overtime we have to add to recover loss, she simply is disaster star." Back home, Julian sat on sofa with high interest waiting me back. He long knew happened things. Julian couldn't hold back smile, handed me a document "Serena, you look at this." Chapter 3 《Share Transfer Agreement》 I didn't open: "Julian, you give up heart, I won't sign." Julian laughed: "You not look, then I have to tell you what content is." He couldn't hide pride: "Two days later is our ten year anniversary, Dad told me before marriage, as long as we married ten years, he will transfer all shares under his name to me. Still two days, I am Sterling Enterprises biggest shareholder." I stepped forward snatched that agreement, despairingly paralyzed on ground. No wonder, no wonder these years he treated me so good, recently however so abnormal, not only had lover, also let me lose face in company, laughable is I also made mistake myself, helped him establish authority. Uncle Ben said right, I really am a waste. Julian finally revealed his claws hidden ten years: "You just stay home well, I want go vacation with Chloe." I swept all water cups on table to ground: "Julian, you now pretend not pretend right!" Julian choked my neck: "Facing your old face I already disgusting to die." "Do you know, first time I saw you I wanted step you under foot. Based on what you so sunny bright, and I only because bad background have to be played by you guys like dog, I now finally can revenge, you just wait see how I climb on Sterling Enterprises Chairman position." His hand more and more force, I breathing difficult constantly struggled. Slowly lost consciousness. In confusion still heard Julian said in my ear: "That year first time slept you I even recorded video posted online. I even captioned for you, 'Rich family daughter taste also just so so' many likes. Hahahaha..." Too terrifying, I really didn't expect my side actually hid a poisonous snake. Hibernated ten years, finally showed his poison fangs want put me to death. Dad, you really spent eyes, saw wrong person. I wailed one sound, fainted. I was woken by phone ringtone. Is foreign doctor, I hurriedly answered, doctor tone full of anxious: "Is it Miss Sterling? Your father condition now very bad, we want immediately proceed rescue, need your on-site signature, when can you arrive?" "Wait me, I immediately contact my private jet, three hours, can you guys rescue first!" Doctor difficult said: "We definitely try rescue, you family better hurry come." I immediately prepared depart, but found Julian locked villa door. I held last trace hope dialed his phone: "Julian, my dad critical, beg you let me out. Even you hate me again, your everything is my dad gave you, you just look at his face let me go save him." Chapter 4 Julian fire more prosperous: "What called he gave me, my everything all obtained by my own effort! He long should die, wait till today then die too late!" Initially built this house, for safety used best materials, now however is cage locking me. I took home all tools smashed window, motionless. I had to jump down from second floor bathroom exhaust window. Downstairs green plants pierced my legs, blood dripping. I didn't care pain, immediately contacted our family private jet. But was told one day ago, President Vance already took secretary went vacation. I immediately checked nearest flight, no ticket, nothing. Now my dad is my only life straw. I lay on ground cried loud, so many years grievance poured out. A strange phone rang: "Serena, I come pick you." Sat on Gabriel's private jet, I then found my legs hurt so heavy. He face full heartache helped me bandage: "Julian this bastard really too excessive, wait we back I definitely good help you teach him a lesson." I sighed a breath "These years he treated me still quite good." Gabriel expression as ugly as ate shit. "So, wait we back I will give him a quicker death method." Arrived hospital, I regardless everything rushed to ward, saw only empty bed, and on instrument that one line after another flat line. I pounced up, crying non-stop: "Dad, how you just not want me, I suffered so big grievance, still waiting you wake give me justice." Gabriel stepped forward wanted help me up, but I whole person like pumped away will. "Serena, don't like this, still have me, I can help you, can help you snatch back everything." I wiped tears, now not time for sadness, even lose I also want fish die net break with these people: "We go back now, tomorrow is all shareholders meeting, we go back expose Julian conspiracy." Right, I still have bottom card my dad gave me. I absolutely can't admit defeat. Back country, I straight ran law firm, took out that document. Luckily, time still in time. I walked into conference hall, everyone looked at me with strange eyes. Julian fearless, his face wrote two big words 'Confidence', under drive of interest, even I say what everyone still will agree him be Chairman. Chloe stood beside him, whispering with him. Voice loud surprisingly: "Turns out she is your wife, last time I thought was your mom." Below came sneering sound. Uncle Ben first attacked: "Serena, last time matter I already let you go, today you come do what again!" I raised document in hand: "Uncle Ben, he has transfer book, I also have." "If I not agree then contract in Julian hand is waste paper." Original thought Uncle Ben attitude would change, but didn't expect he look not look, directly called security: "Frame her out for me!" Outside door came old voice: "Old Ben, I not here, you just treat my daughter like this?" Chapter 5 Familiar voice let me immediately turn back, after seeing clear comer my eyes instantly filled tears. Ten years, my dad finally woke up. "Dad!" I shouted loud, immediately flew to his side. Have a unreal feeling, I really felt I dreaming. I touched my dad that warm hand: "Dad, you not died, great, great." My dad touched my head. "Serena, no cry, Dad first help you solve that beast!" My dad stepped forward two steps, Julian legs already scared soft. He fawning opened mouth: "Dad, great, you finally woke, you don't know these years me and Serena always looking forward you get better." "Is looking forward I get better, or looking forward I die ah!" Julian expression unnatural: "Of course looking forward you good." 'Slap' Gabriel stepped forward gave Julian a slap. Julian angry said: "You count what thing, dare hit me." Looking these people all looking down on him eyes, he suddenly exploded. "Old immortal, you today even stand here so what? You look at watch, 10 AM, your that transfer book already effective." "You and your daughter both have to roll out for me!" My dad ignored him, instead looked Uncle Ben: "Old Ben, this matter how you look?" Uncle Ben reluctantly answered: "Brother Shen ah, you coma so many years, many things should hand to young people hands." My dad laughed, laughed own eyesight bad: "So many years, I just cultivated you these white-eyed wolves!" "Old Ben, did you forget back then was me picked you to company, gave you a mouthful rice eat, now my daughter in trouble, you just so drop stone down well! Really worthy my good brother ah!" Uncle Ben also not afraid him: "Brother Shen. Now wood already became boat, say what all late." My dad knocked cane: "Yesterday night I contacted lawyer, cancelled this transfer book, now in your hands is waste paper!" "Old Ben, I originally wanted look at our so many years sake give you some face. Now looks is no need." My dad shouted to outside door: "Police comrade, come in." Uncle Ben repeatedly retreated: "Just because I said your daughter few sentences, you find police come catch me? Still have heavenly principle king law or not." Police showed ID: "Hello. We are city Economic Crime Investigation, received report, you these years illegally transferred company property, please cooperate our investigation." Uncle Ben loud refuted: "You guys this is slander. Slander!" But still taken away. Julian saw this scene still have what not understand, immediately slide kneel to my dad side: "Dad, Dad, I wrong, I shouldn't temporary ghost confuse heart! You ask Serena, I these years treat her good or not." He turned back look me: "Serena, these years I to you can say hundred obedient ah. Just because I temporary confused made a small mistake.
