Chapter 1
My group went public. I flew to my boyfriend's city to give him a surprise.
I called him to pick me up, and he asked me why I came suddenly.
I joked that my company went bankrupt, and I came to him for help, asking him to support me.
It was a snowy day. I waited at the airport until midnight but he didn't show up.
I arrived at his door in the snowstorm, but I heard my sister's voice from inside. "Do you really want to break up with her? She spent one billion dollars to support you."
My boyfriend, George Brown, said, "I've had enough of this fat woman. Her company went bankrupt. Do you think I should support her?"
***
I stood at the door, shaking uncontrollably, not knowing whether it was because of the cold or because I was chilled, or might both.
I wiped my tears, calmed myself down, and raised my hand to knock on the door.
Now that I was here, I wouldn't run away.
It was my sister, Megan Hill, who opened the door. The smile on her face completely disappeared when she saw me.
She asked, "Victoria, why are you here?"
I said, "I haven't even asked you why you're at George's house, but you're questioning me."
I pushed her away and walked into the room. "George, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"
George then came up to me with a fake smile on his face. "Baby, I was so busy today that I forgot to pick you up at the airport. How did you get here? Did my agent tell you?"
"You forgot that you used my money to buy this house."
I glanced at Megan. "Why is she here?"
Without waiting for George to answer, Megan walked up to him and took his arm affectionately.
"Sister, we are dating now. George doesn't want you anymore."
I raised my hand and slapped Megan. "You are so arrogant even though you are a mistress!"
George was about to speak, but I slapped him the next second.
"You two make a good pair of trash!"
Megan's nose became crooked after I slapped her. She just had a prosthesis filled and it hadn't recovered yet.
"Oh my nose! Victoria, I'm going to fight you!"
George held her back and said, "Calm down. I'll talk to her."
"Victoria, after all, we have been together for so many years. Can't we just part ways in peace?"
"So you were with me just for my money. Now that my company is bankrupt, you don't even want to pretend?"
He said, "Victoria, you have to face the reality. I am now a top star, and I make more than two million dollars a day. What about you? You are penniless and in debt, right? Also, I am so handsome. But you are fat. Whether in terms of conditions or appearance, we are not a match!
"Victoria, please go away. I don't want to make things too awkward."
At this moment, I completely gave up on the man in front of me.
George and I had known each other for seven years. When I first met him, he was just a delivery man who dropped out of school and worked part-time.
I often ordered takeout from a restaurant in the company, and he always delivered it to me.
After a while, we became familiar with each other and established a romantic relationship.
He told me that he wanted to be a star and act.
I spent one billion dollars on him and made him a top star.
I was 5.6 feet tall, 132 pounds. I thought I was well-proportioned, but why did he call me a fat woman?
And Megan had liked to snatch my things since she was a child. And my parents were partial to her.
She could wear beautiful dresses and eat at high-end restaurants, but I could only wear her discarded clothes and eat her leftovers.
Even I worked my way through college.
Fortunately, I worked hard enough and was lucky. After graduating from college, I started my own business, and my career had been booming.
Now I was thirty years old, and I already owned a group with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars.
In their eyes, I was just the boss of a media company, which was declining and had closed down.
But they didn't know that this company was only the least valuable one among my group's many subsidiaries.
I originally started this company to make George famous.
Now he was a top star, and my group was growing bigger and bigger. This media company was losing money, so I decided to shut it down.
I didn't expect that this action of mine would make me see the people around me clearly.
I was very glad that I did not show my true strength to these people.
Chapter 2
I was kicked out of the house by George and Megan. Standing on the empty street, I felt that the past seven years had been ridiculous.
But fortunately, I had absolute strength.
Even if George became a star and famous, I could turn him back into a poor man.
I found a five-star hotel to stay in, but the next day my parents and Megan came to visit.
When my father, Tom, saw me, he slapped me. I covered my burning cheek and looked at him in disbelief.
He said, "Victoria, you are outrageous. You dare to hit your sister!"
Behind Tom, Megan was looking at me with a gloating look.
I said, "Dad, why don't you ask me why I slapped her? She stole my boyfriend!"
Tom said, "If your boyfriend really likes you, would he be snatched away by Megan? Look at yourself. How can you compare with Megan?"
I held back my tears and said, "So you came all the way from your hometown just to repay me for the slap on Megan's behalf."
My mother, Kayla, stepped forward and said, "Victoria, I heard from your sister that your company went bankrupt. How much money do you have now?"
I said, "Not a penny. All my money has been used to pay off my debts."
Kayla was so angry. "You're so incompetent. You bankrupt such a big media company! I didn't think highly of you since you was a child, and I was right! If it weren't for Megan's success, our family would be starving now!"
I said, "Mom, I opened Megan's company for her."
"So what? At least Megan can manage it well, unlike you!"
I said, "Mom, if I hadn't been paying Megan to fix the problem, her company would have gone bankrupt a long time ago."
Kayla said, "Don't quibble. You are the one who is bankrupt now! We feel ashamed to have a daughter like you. We are too embarrassed to talk to our relatives and friends!"
I said, "Then you can just pretend that you don't have a daughter like me."
Dad snorted, "We didn't have a daughter like you in the first place. We came here today just to sever ties with you!"
I said, "Mom and Dad, are you really going to cut off ties with me? You don't need me to support you anymore?"
"We can't count on you. Hopefully you won't be a burden to us."
I looked at my parents in front of me without much emotion, because I had accumulated enough disappointment and no longer had any expectations.
Now that I was broke and of no use to them, they couldn't wait to get rid of me.
That was great, just what I wanted.
I said, "Then let's make a deal."
"It's already been drafted."
Megan threw the agreement at me and said, "This is the agreement I asked a lawyer to draft. We have already signed it. If you think it's okay, just sign it."
Megan acted very quickly. In just one night, she not only managed to get our parents over, but also drafted the agreement.
I opened it and took a look. There was no problem, so I signed without hesitation.
After I signed, Megan sneered, "You are so poor, but you still dare to stay in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel. You are so pretentious. You must have used your credit card. If you can't pay it back, don't come to me. We have no relationship anymore!"
The three of them walked away, and I immediately called my assistant.
"Eric, poach George's agent and cut off all his business and film resources. Also, stop cooperating with Megan's company and stop sending money to my parents."
After arranging all this, I lay down on the bed with peace of mind, ready to take a nap.
Chapter 3
After waking up, I felt much more refreshed.
I was going to the dinner party.
Originally, I came to this city not just for George.
I would be participating in several business activities here. If all went well, I would bring in ten billion dollars in revenue for the group.
I arrived in an haute couture evening gown and a diamond necklace worth tens of millions of dollars.
"Why are you here?"
I turned my head and saw George was also there.
Before I could say anything, he said, "Even if you chase me here, I will not get back together with you! If you don't want me to hate you even more, just leave now."
I was so angry at him that I laughed. He was so confident. Who gave him this confidence? It was the old me.
George saw the necklace on my neck and said, "Don't wear fake things like this anymore. It's embarrassing."
I was once again pissed off by him. He was such a fool and didn't know what was good.
At that moment, the president of the company I was going to work with arrived. He was about to say hello to me when he heard George say, "I'm sorry, Mr. Clark. Due to my personal reasons, an irrelevant person has been mixed into today's dinner. I will let her leave immediately."
Frank Clark was confused. "Who is the irrelevant person?"
George said, "That's her. She's the fat woman I told you about."
Frank was obviously stunned. "You mean, the old, ugly, poor woman you mentioned before who was pestering you, is her?"
"Yes, that's her."
Frank's expression was more interesting than I imagined. "She didn't look old, poor or ugly."
George said, "She's already thirty years old, and I'm only twenty-five. Isn't she old? And she's so fat. Isn't she ugly? And her small company went bankrupt, and she's probably still in debt. She still had to chase me here. She's so cheap."
Frank looked at George with disdain. I quickly shook my head at Frank, signaling him not to tell the truth.
At this time, another acquaintance came. It was Megan.
As soon as she came over, she held George's arm affectionately, and then looked at me with ill intent. "Why are you here? Is this where you should be?"
I said, "If you can come, why can't I come?"
Megan raised her head and laughed. "I know who you are. Those who come here today are all well-known figures. How dare you, a bankrupt loser, come to a place like this? How did she get in? It seems that the security here is not good enough. We need to change it.
"Victoria, I advise you to leave here quickly, otherwise I will have someone throw you out. You'll be embarrassed."
Frank was obviously angry. "Miss, you are too disrespectful!"
Megan's eyes widened. "What? Does she deserve my respect? She shouldn't be able to come here today. I don't know what tricks she used to get in. I was being polite to her by asking the security to throw her out. I should call the police to arrest her!"
Frank's eyes were full of disgust towards Megan. I couldn't help but smile.
I didn't need to do anything. This damn girl had already ruined everyone's good impression of her.
"Mr. Clark, I forgot to introduce them to you. This is my ex-boyfriend. This is my biological sister. They cheated on me. George broke up with me immediately after hearing that my media company went bankrupt. Now he doesn't seem to want to admit that we were in a relationship. And after learning that I went bankrupt, Megan and my parents cut off all ties with me."
