A few days later, Austin somehow found out my new contact information and kept harassing me by constantly changing phone numbers.
When he realized I wouldn’t answer his calls, he started sending text messages instead.
“Eloise, I regret it. Please forgive me. You used to like me so much, there must still be a place for me in your heart!”
“Honey, please don’t ignore me. My heart is breaking…”
Seeing the screen full of his disgusting words, I felt utterly sick, so nauseated I wanted to throw up.
After blocking him everywhere, Austin actually showed up downstairs at my company to ambush me.
“Eloise, can you please not block me? I’m not even with Kayla. The one I like is you!”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you were the heiress of the Moreau family? If I had known, would we have had to struggle so much?”
“Anyway, you kept things from me too, so we’re even. From now on, let’s live a good life together. With the Moreau Group helping me…
Thinking of how Austin used to criticize me so arrogantly, and now seeing him act so pitiful, I let out a cold laugh.
Looking him up and down in his current disheveled state, I spoke to

him with biting sarcasm.
“Austin, I thought that without me dragging you down, your future would be bright and smooth, wouldn’t it?”
Hearing the amusement in my tone, Austin guiltily turned his head
away.
When we first started the business, he would consult me on every decision, big or small, but in the end, he took all the credit. I never minded.
My tone suddenly turned stern: “Since you know who I am, you should also know that if I wanted to, your little company could disappear in an instant.”
“If I were you, I’d keep my head down and steer clear of me. If you ever make me unhappy, I could make you lose everything at any moment.”
Ignoring the look of despair on Austin’s face, I twisted the knife further:
“Take care of your little girlfriend. The next person you meet won’t be as easygoing as I was. Who knows, you might end up back where you started overnight.”
With that, I stopped paying him any attention and turned to leave.
Not long after, I saw Austin trending on the news: keeping a mistress, forcing his wife to donate blood multiple times, abandoning her after causing her to miscarry.
It turned out Austin’s company had gone bankrupt, leaving him with a mountain of debt.
After I left, Kayla’s relatives were brought into his company, placed in the finance department, and together with Kayla, they embezzled large

sums of money, breaking the company’s cash flow.
Austin demanded that Kayla return all the money he had spent on her, or he would sue her.
Kayla then posted proof that all the luxury goods Austin had given her were fakes.
Austin responded with evidence that Kayla had deceived him, claiming she left him because of a terminal illness when in fact she had cheated on him.
Later, Austin insisted on suing Kayla to recover the medical expenses he had paid for her, but Kayla reported his company under her real name for falsifying accounts and tax evasion.
In the end, both of them ended up in prison.
Because of this farce, my parents were worried they might lash out and drag me down with them, so they even hired bodyguards for me.
I never expected the police to call me, saying Austin wanted to see me. I refused.
But Austin wouldn’t give up. He even went on a hunger strike, so the police kept contacting me. Left with no choice, I finally agreed to see him.
When I saw him, he was unshaven, haggard, and looked utterly lifeless.
When he saw me, he got so emotional he tried to rush over, but the police stopped him in time.
“Honey, you finally came to see me… I missed you so much! Why did you take so long to visit me?”

“Please forgive me, won’t you? I regret it every single day now.”
Listening to his tearful pleas, I felt nothing but calm inside.

“This is the last time. Otherwise, I won’t mind making you stay here a few more years. Forcing someone to donate blood is a crime too, isn’t it?”
With that, I left without looking back.
Now that I’m free from someone as toxic as Austin, my life can only get
better.
Outside the prison, my new friends were waiting for me. When they saw me come out, they waved happily.
One of my girlfriends linked arms with me and asked, “Are you okay?”
Seeing the concern on her face, I felt a warm glow in my heart.
“Don’t worry, I won’t ever look back.”
Smiling, I turned with them and strode confidently toward my brand new future.
The end.
