Seven Years of Marriage with Jake

Chapter 41

Book 3- Chapter 5

I left home and went directly to the Parker family company.

News of my acquisition of the project and shares spread quickly through the company. The vice president, who previously wouldn't even lift an eyelid when he saw me, now respectfully bowed so low he could almost lick my shoes. Hah, human nature.

I completed the handover procedures and directly became the youngest director on the board.

Looking at the company's timeline hung on the office wall.

It was in the year I died that Sebastian and Sofia expanded the company's scale, leaping to the forefront of the industry.

The company was originally founded by Sebastian and me, but on the timeline, it was all Sebastian and Sofia's names, without even half a mention of me, Julia!

I clenched my fists, the bone-deep hatred gradually eroding my bones. Scenes from my previous life flashed through my mind like a movie.

Back then, to establish this company, I spent half a year conducting market research on the streets.

A full half a year. Sebastian went to his nine-to-five job, while I gave up my iron rice bowl, taking research reports to the streets, pleading with one person after another.

The sweltering heat of midsummer caused heatstroke, menstrual cramps were suffocating.

But for Sebastian's dream, I endured it all, not missing a single day.

We were poor then. To save money, I only ate one piece of bread a day, couldn't even afford to buy a bottle of water in the hot summer, and eventually developed a severe stomach illness.

In the early days of the company, we couldn't afford to hire people. I single-handedly took on all the sales roles, running business day and night, enduring countless cold shoulders and grievances. To accompany clients, I drank until I had a gastric hemorrhage.

A word or two of comfort from Sebastian would make me happy for a long time.

I was truly blinded by love, debasing myself to dust for the sake of so-called love.

"Helen! What right do you have to take this project?"

"Give the project back to me!"

Philip's voice interrupted my thoughts. I shook my head, those painful memories making me increasingly clear-headed.

I'm no longer the Julia I used to be. I've been reborn. A man's sweet words and promises can't be relied upon. Only power and money that belong to oneself are eternal.

I will take back everything that originally belonged to me!

Philip ran over, red-faced, to question me. It seemed he had just received the news.
