To be with Jason Sterling, I broke ties with my family. The day I was kicked out, my dad sneered: "Scarlett, you were protected too well since childhood, you can't judge people at all. I want to see how long you can last." Six years, I accompanied Jason from a basement to a rental apartment, from eating Instant Ramen to occasionally adding a dish. He drank with clients until vomiting, I stayed up all night cooking hangover soup. His company finally IPOed. The celebration gala was set in a top hotel, I arrived early as his fiancée to arrange things. Entering the banquet hall, I found someone already sitting in the main seat—that famous "soulmate" Yvonne. She wore a white suit, chatting and laughing with investors. Her posture calm like half a hostess. Seeing me, she just glanced, then spoke as a matter of course: "Miss Scarlett is here? Just right go urge the kitchen, Mr. Zhao is allergic to seafood, dishes need attention." And Jason beside her naturally took the wine glass from Yvonne's hand and drank it all, whispering: "Still you thoughtful, I almost forgot Mr. Zhao's matter." During the meal, they talked about industry jargon, capital operation. In the most thrilling chapter of his life, Yvonne is the absolute protagonist. I couldn't get a word in. After three rounds of drinks, he got up to toast. Yvonne however hugged his arm, smilingly stood up: "Everyone! CEO Sterling has both career and love harvest, we lonely people, shouldn't we punish him?" Whole room cheered. Few executives drank high, voices also loud: "I say, you and President Yvonne are the perfect match! Understand with one look, this chemistry, amazing!" "Ate ramen together back then, ring the bell together now. What is this called? Share weal and woe!" Jason also smiled not denying, letting atmosphere ferment. I looked at this banquet set for them, feeling myself like an outsider. "Seems your company celebration, doesn't lack a boss wife." "Then you and your best partner, celebrate well." I picked up my coat, left the seat under everyone's astonished gaze. Chapter 1 He chased out pulling my wrist, voice low coaxing: "Scarlett, don't make a scene." I threw him off, eye rims sour. Several directors followed out to smooth things over, most senior Director Zhang patted Jason's shoulder: "Jason, talk nicely, don't wrong Little Scarlett." Jason took a deep breath, eyes became serious: "Yvonne was too happy lost measure, I apologize for her. But Scarlett, six years feelings, you really want to deny everything for her?" His tone slightly panicked: "Forgot what we agreed? Company IPO, go Norway see Aurora, hold wedding in Tromsø." My heart stung. Endured so much bitterness, hard to look forward to today. He rubbed my tiger's mouth: "Don't want to see Aurora with me, Scarlett?" This words poked my softest spot. Director Zhang also sighed: "Little Scarlett, today you suffered grievance. Yvonne has heavy career heart, treats company as own home, didn't handle measure well." Yvonne then arrived late, standing few steps away tone decent: "Miss Scarlett, just now was my negligence, made you misunderstand. I punish myself a glass." She raised wine glass brought from unknown where, posture elegant. Atmosphere barely eased. Before leaving, Director Zhang specially instructed: "Jason, tomorrow team go Aspen hot spring relax, take Little Scarlett relax together." Jason nodded immediately, tightly hugging my shoulder: "Good, I definitely take her." That night back home. He hugged me in bathroom, in steam repeatedly said "Sorry", kissed urgent and heavy. He took me several times at night, forceful like wanting to smash all uneasiness. I closed eyes endured, but that thorn in heart stuck deeper bit by bit. Chapter 2 Next evening, we arrived at Aspen club. Yvonne already by the pool, wearing silk bathrobe, holding red wine glass. Seeing us, she smiled slightly: "Jason, brought swim trunks? You always forget." Immediately naturally mentioned to me: "Last time San Francisco business trip, his swim trunks were bought temporarily by me~" Jason slightly embarrassed, held my hand: "How long ago matter." This time all young employees. Everyone naturally sat around hot spring pool, drinking red wine chatting. Someone cheered: "President Yvonne, tell us about your startup fun stories back then?" Yvonne pursed lips smiling: "Most memorable was night getting Series A funding, Jason too happy, hugged me spinning, result fell into pool together." Everyone laughed loud. Jason chuckled lightly: "You didn't drink less that night." Crowd another burst of cheering. A project manager drank too much, big tongue asked: "President Yvonne, CEO Sterling, you two really never dated? While sister-in-law here, confess lenient, resist strict ah!" Someone immediately echoed: "Right! I remember once overtime till early morning, saw you two hugging in office!" Yvonne sipped wine, cheeks scarlet, eyes flowing glanced at him. "We ah... indeed kissed." I fiercely looked up. Surroundings instantly quiet. Jason leaned by pool edge, eyes closed, like didn't hear. Yvonne smiling, tone half true half fake: "Was night company almost couldn't hold on. He said... if can turn over, be with me." Her gaze fell on my pale face, word by word said: "Then," "He actively kissed me." Chapter 3 This sentence like basin of ice water, poured me from head to foot. Surrounding people dead silent. I fiercely stood up, staring at drunk Jason: "Is what she said true?" Warm spring water withdrew, I only left cold all over. This man who hugged me saying love me last night,此刻 (at this moment) eyes unfocused, looked Yvonne then looked me. Immediately, grinned unconsciously muttering: "What true not true? Just kissed once!" "Girl lips soft very, crying my heart broken." My whole body blood cooled. "So, company turned over, you should be with her?" My voice trembling. He seemed sobered a few points. Irritably rubbed forehead: "Scarlett, don't dig old accounts... that was pressure too big..." Words not finished, he was supported by Yvonne. Yvonne still face not change color, actively explained: "That time too hard, some words can't take true, Miss Scarlett don't mind." Said sincerely. But love for Jason in her eyes, clearly didn't hide a bit! She supported Jason up, tone gentle: "Jason stomach bad, don't soak long." He confused leaned on her body. How intimate. An old employee sighed: "Miss Scarlett, you didn't experience that time. Company seeing disperse, President Yvonne accompanied CEO Sterling three days no eye close." "Most difficult time, they two indeed... relatively dependent on each other." Yvonne softly said: "All passed. Now company good, he with you, I also happy for him." Words said happy, eyes full of provocation. Another executive drunk raised hand: "I testify! CEO Sterling said then, if can survive, absolutely not fail President Yvonne!" In few ambiguous echoes, Jason leaned on Yvonne shoulder closed eyes muttering: "Mm... not fail Yvonne." This scene completely defeated me. I grabbed bathrobe put on and left. Behind came discussion: "This can't stand?" "Originally not same world." "President Yvonne is real suffering with CEO Sterling." Back to room, I locked door. Outside window is Aspen silent night. I thought of back then we squeezed in ten square meter rental, sharing a bowl of instant ramen. He hugged me said: "Scarlett, wait I mix out, absolutely not let you suffer a bit bitterness." Thought of his first financing failure, I accompanied him blowing wind on flyover at 3 AM. He said: "Luckily still have you." Now, he mixed out. But he seems on road loving me, fell in love with someone else. I stared at thick night, sat till dawn. That night Jason didn't return room. I didn't expect, waiting for, not his explanation. Next noon, he angrily broke in, behind followed red eye corner Yvonne. He threw tablet in front of me—Company website homepage hung video: [See clear Yvonne 'Mistress' true face!] Exactly part Yvonne said "We kissed", and him drunk admitting "Not fail Yvonne". Comment section all scolding. "Scarlett!" Jason eyes blood red, "Official website hacked, now whole industry watching joke!" He stared dead at me: "Isn't your childhood friend a hacker? Using this means, too low!" I froze on spot. He actually because this relationship determined is me. Yvonne stepped forward, eye circles red but stood straight: "Miss Scarlett, dissatisfaction can say straight. But company is everyone's blood and sweat, you shouldn't revenge like this." Sentence by sentence decent, contrast my unbearable. I looked at this man loved six years. He for her, without hesitation convicted me. Heart death is instant thing. I raised eyes, quietly looking at him: "Jason Sterling, so you now bring her to question me?" I took deep breath, suppressed choking: "Then did you forget, should give me an explanation first?" "Or, you directly tell me, you want break up?" Chapter 4 "Break up?" Jason frowned tight: "Scarlett, talking about website hacked matter now!" "Also you caused Yvonne reputation damaged." He impatiently pinched brow center, tone bit heavy: "This is your attitude doing wrong thing?" Yvonne stood beside him, tone calm but carrying thorn: "Miss Scarlett, I understand you. But attacking company system is illegal, this will destroy Jason years blood and sweat." This words poked him. He immediately stepped forward protecting front of Yvonne, disappointedly staring me: "She considers big picture like this, you still want willful till when? Apologize!" I looked at their side by side appearance. "Not me did." I voice cold. "Except you who else?" Jason however categorical, "Isn't your that childhood friend doing this line?" Firmness in his eyes fiercely stabbed me. I trembled all over, finally couldn't bear raised hand— "Slap!" A slap fiercely fanned on Jason face. He stunned, left face rapidly red. "Jason!" Yvonne immediately stepped forward check. Executives hearing sound surged in, talking all at once: "Miss Scarlett how can you hit people?" "You wrong first, still so arrogant!" "President Yvonne willing not count, what else you want?" I looked at their common hatred appearance, anger extreme smiled: "Say I hacked your website? Have evidence?" "One by one face and head people, just empty mouth white teeth wronging people?" Seeing situation getting serious. Yvonne however first became this good person: "Everyone don't like this, Miss Scarlett also impulse moment." "Maybe cold shouldered by Jason a bit can't think open only." Words excuse for me, actually nail dead my crime. She earnest: "However Miss Scarlett, matter between lovers, why make so ugly?" In chaos my bag bumped down, a box rolled out— Is diamond ring he bought with first financing bonus. "Crack—" A clear breaking sound. Yvonne high heel "accidentally" stepped on it. Diamond flew, setting deformed. World instantly quiet. "Sorry," Yvonne stepped back, tone light floating, "Didn't notice." I bent pick up broken ring. Hand shaking. Six years feelings, broken so easily. Jason also stunned, wanted pull me, "Scarlett..." Voice not fell. I red eyes looked up. Panting heavily, directly a slap hit towards Yvonne, "Slap!" Louder than just now. She covered face stumbled back, hit coffee table. Red wine spilled her body. "You..." She widened eyes, makeup spent. "This one," I approached step, "Hit you calculate deliberately." Surrounding executives sucked cold air. Yvonne supported stand straight: "You doing this only make Jason embarrassed..." "Shut up!" I interrupted her. Jason softened voice: "Scarlett, we talk well." "Talk what?" I sneered, "Talk how you and her lips teeth depend?" Heart pain about explode. All suppressed emotions erupted this moment. I raised hand another slap. "This one, hit you willing be mistress!" Yvonne screamed fell on ground. Red wine stain haloed on her white suit, embarrassed unbearable. She finally couldn't pretend: "Scarlett you crazy!" I didn't look her again. Took out phone dialed number. "Dad." Voice cold like ice, "Immediately Short Sell Sterling Group, acquire all circulating shares."
