He was right back where he started. His small company barely cleared fifty thousand a year, not even enough for a single gala event.
Now, he felt pathetic, each night a living hell.
The thought filled him with rage.
He roared in frustration, “Wendy, this is all your fault! Your mismanagement ruined the company and lost everything! I’m an old man. Am I supposed to suffer with you?”
“We’re in this mess because of you. If you were still as rich as you used to be, why would I have ever left you?”
“Heh…” Wendy let out a bitter laugh at his shamelessness.
Honestly, her love for him had blinded her. She’d always let his minor transgressions slide, and in doing so, she’d overlooked the bigger problems—she’d overlooked Nathan’s greed.
Her cold gaze bored into him. “So, from the very beginning, you were only after my money.”
“You put on that whole act of being so proud, refusing to be seen as living off my family’s wealth. My parents would say one harsh word and your precious ego would be wounded. And for the sake of your damned pride, I left my parents to build a life with you. I did all of that for you, and you were lying to me from the start, weren’t you?”
She screamed, her heart aching. When she had gone to see her parents recently to tell them about the divorce and the plan to let the company go bankrupt, they hadn’t questioned her. They had supported her completely.
She remembered her father saying, “Wendy, it’s not too late to see the truth. Our family has more than enough money to last you two lifetimes, even if you never work another day. You’ve been tired for so long. From now on, just live your life. Your mother and I will retire back home. Once you’ve settled things here, come back and spend some time with us.”
Her parents were always her strongest support.
That’s what gave her the confidence to orchestrate everything.
The loans she took out were real, arranged by her father.
