Chapter 26
Someone leaked the video online, and it went viral. The project was already very popular, and many people who were already jealous of our success were happy to see us fail, so they spread the video far and wide.]]
Some people who didn’t know the whole story just followed the crowd.]
But when someone doxxed me and revealed that I had left Liam’s company to join Olivia’s, and when they saw the comparison of our two companies‘ growth over the past year, they also believed that I had stolen the core secrets, and they all started cursing me out.
Some people even called for a boycott.[]
I was taken to the police station:[]
When I saw Liam, the plaintiff, I noticed that he avoided my gaze.]]
I already had a good idea of what was going on.[]
“You and Hannah didn’t break up, did you?“]
“The one who stole the confidential information and almost bankrupted the company was actually Hannah. The day you tricked me into thinking the pipes were broken was just to make me a part of your plan.“[]
I calmly stated my suspicions.[]
I had seen a lot of unusual things at the villa that day.[]

For example, the women’s slippers at the entrance, the tissues with lipstick stains in the bathroom trash, and the blue velvet curtains that he hated, hanging on the window.[]
At the time, I didn’t think much of it. I just thought that maybe his personality had changed after he got together with Hannah.
But now I see that some things never change.]]
Liam pressed his lips together.]
“I didn’t want it to be like this.“]
“Hannah is still young. She has a lot of opportunities ahead of her. I can’t let one mistake ruin her life.“]
“And what about me?” I scoffed. “I was with you for nine years. I helped you so much. Can you really destroy me with a clear conscience?”
Liam stiffened and apologized to me.]
But I just found it laughable.]
What was the point?]
He had the freedom to love whoever he wanted, to leave me for someone else. I didn’t blame him for that. But I couldn’t stand
je fact that after I had helped him so much, he would throw me under the bus for someone else’s mistake.
looked at him with a final glimmer of hope. “Are you sure you want to protect her by destroying me?“]]
fter a long pause, the cold words came from his lips.
ust consider it my apology to you.”
ith that, he said nothing more and turned to leave.
Tatching his retreating back, the last bit of affection I had for him vanished completely.
e didn’t know that the one who was about to be dragged into the abyss was HIM, not me.[]
