I left the party.
My brother called me.
“Liam left too. Bethany chased after him, and
he pushed her to the ground.”
“Liam’s cruel. It’s good you saw through him.”
I asked, “How long will Liam’s company last?”
く
He said, “Maybe a few months, or a year or
two. It depends on whether he has the
chance. He’s talented, but he doesn’t have
good judgment. That company will bring him
down.”
Everyone in his company was greedy.
They were going to drag him down.
Graduation day.
My coworker came back to get her diploma.
She looked tired.
She was probably having a hard time at
Liam’s company.
She greeted me but Lignored ber
She greeted me, but I ignored her.
She stopped me and said sorry.
“I’m sorry, can you forgive me? I didn’t mean
to.”
I said, “I accept your apology, but we can’t be
friends.”
She teared up.
She told me about Liam’s company.
“The company went bankrupt. The board
members blamed Liam. They gave the
company’s secrets to the competitor. He’s
probably desperate. Bethany got caught up in
an affair, and the other executives‘ wives beat
<
her up.”
I was shocked.
She said, “Bethany was beat up bad. She
tried to force Liam to marry her, but he
refused. He even posted the video of her at
the hotel.
“She said she did it to save Liam’s company.
“He didn’t care and they argued.
“Then, she hit him.
“He hit back.
“Then she left the company.
“Liam started doing her work, but it didn’t

“I just heard the gossip. Then, they fired me.
They didn’t even give me a severance. I have
to find a job.”
I gave her my business card and said, “Call
the person on this and he will find you a job.”
She thanked me.
Three months passed.
I was supposed to get a divorce.
Liam came to the courthouse with flowers.
He apologized and said he wanted to get
back together.
I ignored him.

He didn’t treasure me when we were
together.
“Scarlett, I was wrong about her. If Bethany
didn’t seduce me, I wouldn’t have done it. I
love you.”
His words were cheap.
He didn’t contact me once.
He’s proud.
He thought I couldn’t leave him.
He was going to let me accept his mistakes.
If he and Bethany were doing well, he
wouldn’t regret divorcing me.
He’s selfish and disgusting.
I gave him a business card.
“This is my friend’s number. Her dad is in
charge of purchasing. She’s 18 and wants a
boyfriend, so give it a try.”
His eyes lit up.
“Do you think she’ll think I’m old?”
I laughed.
He frowned.
He couldn’t handle it.
“I’m asking if you’ll accept me. Let’s not get
diversed !!
く
“I won’t.”
He tried to apologize.
I said, “Get a divorce first, then I’ll introduce
you to my other friends. They’re a little old,
but they’re good–looking.”
He blushed.
He knew he and I were done.
After getting divorced, he asked me about the
girl on the business card.
I lied.
I got in my car.
He called me, angry.
L
“You gave me a prostitute’s card. She asked
if I wanted half or all. What’s three hundred a pop or eight hundred for the night?”
I said, “I don’t know, I found it on my car. I was just joking. Don’t get mad, you’ll get old. Rich women like mature men, not old men.”
He cursed at me.
I hung up and blocked him.
I decided to study abroad.
The business world was for my brother.
At the airport, I saw Bethany.
She was wearing a mask and calling a
She asked about Liam.
I told her.
She laughed. “He’s trying to get with rich women. I told him to marry me, but he didn’t want to. He’s too poor.”
She put on her sunglasses and said, “You should thank me, or he’d drag you down.”
As she left, I posted a video of Liam stripping to my friend group.
I sent, “A thousand a drink. Help me kill him.”
