Chapter 8
“Pierce.” Thalia said calmly, “Over the past three months, I invited you fourteen times, and you rejected me fourteen times.“]
“Every time, the excuse was that you were too busy with work.“[]
Thalia’s gaze shifted to Leah.[]
“Later I discovered that every time you rejected me, you were actually with Leah.“[]
Pierce’s eyelashes trembled, but he quickly lifted his chin: “So what? Who I date is my freedom!“]
“We’re just a childhood arrangement from years ago–we never legally registered!“[]
“Of course.” Thalia nodded, “I just wanted to ask–do you know why every proposal you made went through smoothly?“[]
J
“Do you know why your competitors always mysteriously withdrew from bidding?“]
“Do you know why the bank suddenly approved loans you weren’t even qualified for?“]
Pierce’s expression changed: “You… what do you mean?“]
Mr. Blake Sr. sighed heavily, walking to Thalia’s side with his cane.]
“Pierce, the reason Blake Group was able to go public smoothly and triple its stock price over the past six months is because Miss Thalia has been working behind the scenes.“]
“Impossible!” Pierce’s voice became shrill, “Those were all results of our team’s efforts!“]
Thalia took out her phone, projecting a document onto the screen.[]
“Pierce, over the past six months, I mobilized seventeen business relationships from the Winters family to clear all obstacles for Blake.“]
The screen scrolled with surprising names and figures.[]
“Including convincing Sterling Properties to withdraw from bidding on the Manhattan plot, allowing Blake to acquire prime real estate at a low price.
Leah suddenly crawled up from the ground, screaming frantically: “Liar! These are all forged! Pierce, don’t believe her!“]
Pierce’s father kicked her knee, and Leah fell to her knees again.[]
“Shut up! You bastard!“]
Thalia watched this scene with no emotion in her heart.]
Thalia picked up her coat and draped it over her arm.[]
“Mr. Blake Sr., Uncle, since you’re here, I should leave now.“]
“As for our families‘ childhood engagement, it ends here.”

“Miss Thalia!” Mr. Blake Sr. hurriedly blocked Thalia, “This is the Blake family’s fault, but the engagement…“[]
“Grandfather!“[]
Pierce suddenly interrupted him, tears in his eyes but stubbornly holding his head high.[]
“Let her go! I don’t need a fiancée who suppresses me with family background!“[]
Thalia quietly looked at Pierce, this man who had been engaged to her since childhood.[]
“Very well.“]
Thalia nodded, taking out a bracelet from her pocket and placing it on the table.[]
“This is the engagement token my grandfather exchanged years ago. I’m returning it to you now.‘
v.“]
Pierce’s father’s face turned pale, Mr. Blake Sr. closed his eyes, as if aging ten years in an instant.]

When Thalia turned toward the door, she stopped but didn’t look back.[]
“By the way, starting tomorrow, Winters Group will completely withdraw from all cooperation with Blake Group.“[]
“Including the five ongoing projects and the financing agreements about to be signed.“[]
Pierce gasped: “You… you can’t do this! Those projects relate to Blake Group’s ten–year plan and the livelihoods of thousands of employees!”
Thalia turned back, giving Pierce one last smile.[]
“I can.”
“Just like how you could reject me fourteen times for a female assistant.“[]
When Thalia pushed open the conference room door, she heard Mr. Blake Sr.’s desperate shout.[]
“Miss Thalia! Please give the Blake family one more chance!“]]
Thalia didn’t stop.
