Chapter 5
The next day, I officially assumed my position at the company.
The team prepared a grand celebration for me, and the employees from my former team gave me gifts. I was touched and apologized for keeping them in the dark.
They didn’t blame me, just curious about my actions.
Only Emily understood my good
intentions.
‘I know you wanted to understand our marketing direction. We’re on the front line, so I’ve organized all the data from recent years.”
She handed me a stack of documents, no wonder everyone praised her abilities.
‘I didn’t misjudge you.” I called Emily into my office.
‘Emily, it’s likely that Andrew will come

back to cause trouble. He resents me, and you’ve taken his place. Be careful.”
Emily nodded, saying she wasn’t afraid,
but I could see her hesitation.
“You want to know how I became the boss, don’t you?”
Embarrassed that I saw through her, Emily
hesitated.
I touched the scar on my wrist and, after a moment’s hesitation, showed it to her.
‘This happened when my ex–husband lost control after drinking. He didn’t mean it and had never hit me before, but I couldn’t accept it.”
“Luckily, my ex–husband has a conscience and a social status to uphold, so he gave me five billion without a fuss. He’s still trying
to win me back.”
“This company was also something I fought for my daughter. I don’t think there’s
anything wrong with that.”

Emily looked at me with empathy, “It must have been hard to make that decision.”
Understanding my hidden strength, she shared my burden.
‘But at least your life is secure now, which is good.”
I bitterly smiled and shook my head, “I initially wanted to use the money to travel with my family and relax, but my mother, knowing about the divorce, tricked me, blaming me for leaving the money tree. My brother also accused me of cutting off his financial path, and they kicked me out, even disliking Anna…”
I recounted the events of being thrown out by my parents and brother.
peaking of my daughter, I couldn’t help but get emotional.
Emily, indignant, exclaimed, “That’s too
much!
How can they be called parents? No one

even asked why you got divorced!
Anna is so adorable. How can they call her a burden?
It’s okay, bring Anna to the company if you’re busy. We’ll help take care of her!
I didn’t expect that after all this time, it would be new friends without any blood relation who cared for me first.
Feeling supported was so comforting. I couldn’t help but cry.
Like a big sister, Emily hugged me and honestly said it was good to cut ties with such family members. She then invited me out for dinner, promising we wouldn’t go home until we were thoroughly drunk.
I casually invited a few company executives, planning to introduce Emily to
them.
The general manager said my car looked good and wanted to try it out, so I tossed him the keys and went downstairs with

Emily.
When we got to the garage, I discovered that my Porsche had been scratched, and someone had spray–painted
“homewrecker” in large letters on the car.
The general manager was shocked and immediately instructed security to check the surveillance footage, but it had been maliciously destroyed.
He told Emily and me over the phone to stay put, but it was too late.
As soon as Emily and I stepped out of the elevator, my brother and Jane came rushing out with cameras.
I knew that car wasn’t yours. You got ahead by clinging to men and ruining other families,
Cheating slut, why else would my brother- in–law divorce you?
This must be the wife getting revenge!
My brother and Jane teamed up to slander

- me.
My brother, thinking I was too scared to respond, became even more arrogant,
Divina, if you don’t find me a good job, I’ll post these online! Let’s see how your company survives then!
I immediately asked security to throw them out. At that moment, my mother showed
up and stopped the security guard,
throwing a tantrum,
“You dare to lay hands on your own mother, Divina?
No wonder you avoid coming home. You’re out here living it up! Where did you get the money for a car?
You have money for a car but not to
support your mother.”
She sat down and wailed,
“Did you cheat? Is that why your ex-

husband threw you out and ruined our
family?”
It was all nonsense!
I couldn’t believe my ears.
This was my biological mother.
She was siding with my brother to tarnish my reputation in front of strangers.
Ask them what they’ve done! Who scratched my car? Who’s occupying my house? You know the truth! You only care about your precious son, even helping him deceive others. Have you ever thought about my feelings?
I was furious.
Seeing me weakened, Jane became more brazen,
How dare you argue? After doing
something so shameless, you still dare to raise your voice at your mother. Where’s your upbringing?

After all these years of providing for you, you act so disgracefully. It’s embarrassing! Why don’t you just die? My mother cried hysterically.
Andrew seized the opportunity to film my mother while berating me.
I was heartbroken to the extreme.
At this point, Emily came, pulled me into her car, and took me away.
