I Bankrupted My Husband

With Valentine’s Day approaching, my husband, Edwin Welles, finally freed up his schedule and agreed to spend the holiday with me.

I joked that he must be the busiest man in the world. After all, the acting chairman had no time for the actual chairman.

However, as soon as we entered the cinema, his phone rang.

With just a single glance at the screen, a trace of panic appeared on his normally composed face.

“Honey, a serious problem has come up with the tech project. I have to go back and deal with it.”

I watched him walk out through the ticket checkpoint.

The surrounding noise of the crowd made my chest feel tight.

All of the company’s tech projects utilized my father’s patents.

He was the dean of the top research institute and the company’s chairman, yet he had not received any news of a problem.

What could Edwin, a research novice, possibly need to go back to handle?

I opened the phone tracker app and followed him.

I would just have to see for myself what this “serious problem” really was!

As I watched him gradually deviate from the course through the app on my phone, my heart sank.

Fortunately, after many twists and turns, I was finally led back to my husband, Edwin Welles’, family home.

As I approached the Welles family home, I saw it was decked out with twinkling lights and flowers for a wedding.

My heart sank to my stomach.

Edwin was their only son, and he had married me long ago.

Who in the Welles family was getting married?

I quickly walked toward the door, but a doorman stretched out his arm to block me.

“This is a private event. You can only come in if you have an invitation.”

I was stunned for a moment. Then, I forced a smile and said, “I’m Edwin’s wife.”

The doorman laughed scornfully and pushed me with a mocking expression.

“Edwin is getting married today, and the bride is Amy. She’s the chairwoman of Skyreach Technologies. Who are you to show up here pretending to be her?”

Amy? Amy Lovell?

The bone marrow donor that Edwin found for me?

When did she become the chairwoman of my company?!

I pushed the doorman aside and barged straight in.

My heart was shattered into pieces when I saw the inside of the house.

Beatrice Welles, my mother-in-law, had always found me pretentious and troublesome. However, there she was on the stage, watching the couple and smiling with joy.

Meanwhile, Edwin, who had always been aloof and indifferent, was holding a woman in his arms. He looked over the moon.

That was Amy. It was really her!

My heart clenched. I stood there, motionless and completely dumbfounded.

Back when I had leukemia, Edwin had searched the entire country and found a bone marrow donor for me.

It was Amy, a poor student who could not even afford to eat back then.

My leukemia was cured, but it left me with septicemia.

Back then, Edwin had originally planned to give Amy a sum of money and send her away.

I could not bear to do it, so I arranged a position for her in the company.

I guided her all the way from a poor student to a corporate executive.

Amy knelt on the floor, crying bitterly. She swore that she could never repay my kindness and was willing to be my devoted servant for the rest of her life.

As it turned out, she was repaying that kindness by getting into Edwin’s bed!

Watching the two of them so deeply in love sent a piercing ache through my heart.

The chatter of the guests around me became overwhelming and unbearable.

“Congratulations, Mr. Welles! This is the first time we’re seeing the mysterious chairwoman behind Skyreach Technologies. She’s every bit as elegant and stunning as they say!”

“Ms. Lovell is a lucky woman too! With a husband like Mr. Welles, she can focus on her research. She’s truly the envy of everyone here.”

Beatrice looked at Amy with satisfaction and said while clapping, “If you ask me, Amy is the only woman in this entire country who deserves our Edwin.”

Amy raised her glass a little shyly and said, “Edwin has been such a big part of my journey. Honestly, I wouldn’t be where I am today without him.

“Everyone, please have a wonderful time today!”

Upon hearing this, Edwin also raised his glass and said, “We built this together. It was never about one of us carrying the other.”

When they saw how perfectly in sync the couple was, the surrounding guests began to cheer for them to kiss.

I, however, felt an involuntary shudder run through my body.

My heart was pounding, and my vision blurred.

Amidst the noise of the bustling crowd, I grabbed a bottle and hurled it directly at the stage.

Without giving them time to react, I strode up to the stage and slapped both Edwin and Amy.

Both of them were stunned by the sudden blows.

The wedding attendees were also rendered speechless by the unexpected turn of events.

Clenching my numb and swollen hand, I glared at Edwin coldly as I said, “So, this is the ‘serious problem’ you mentioned?”
