How a Crippled Heiress Tore Down Her Husband's Empire novel Chapter 6

To help me settle the score, Jason had been secretly gathering information on Lily for years.

Long before I even suspected Lily and Samuel's affair, Jason had already noticed something off about her.

He told me how she used her beauty to manipulate people at the company, charming her way into favors and opportunities.

Since Samuel saw Lily as his one true love, I figured it was time he saw exactly what kind of person she really was.

Following my plan, Jason transferred to Lily's department as the new project lead.

With his sharp looks and effortless confidence, it didn't take long for Lily to take notice.

She started using her usual tricks, finding excuses to linger around him, but with Samuel as her financial backer, she knew better than to overstep.

Then, out of nowhere, Samuel called her in for a private conversation.

When Lily heard that Samuel wanted to spend the rest of his life with her—and even let her take part in managing the company—she was ecstatic.

After all, she had provoked me and orchestrated my discovery of their affair for this exact reason. Now that her dream was within reach, she was practically glowing with excitement.

But Samuel's next words made her smile freeze.

"Lily, I really underestimated Emily."

"She's been secretly controlling the company all along!"

"Now that our affair has been exposed, I can't keep up the act anymore."

"I'm planning to divorce her."

"Then we can finally be together—out in the open."

Lily's heart skipped a beat.

She quickly asked, "And if you don't get the company, how much will you walk away with after the divorce?"

Samuel's expression darkened instantly.

After a long pause, he stammered, "If everything goes smoothly, I'll get half of her assets."

"But… she's refusing to agree to the divorce and has already frozen all my accounts."

"But Lily, I promise—I'll figure something out."

"I'll leave her as soon as I can!"

Lily understood exactly what he meant.

She had only ever stuck by Samuel for his money.

And now?

Not only was he broke, but he might even need her to support him.

Her expression faltered for a split second before she forced a sweet smile.

"It's okay, Sam."

She reached out, taking his hand gently.

"You've already promised to marry me, and I'm the only woman for you."
