The Day I Walked Away and Took His Empire with Me
AuthorYutianxiayu
On GoingThe year I married Adrian Mitchell. He was 32. I was 25. I was still debating whether to become a full-time housewife. When I overheard him laughing with his business associates: "Marrying a young girl is just for the novelty." "But compared to Sophia, she's completely clueless—can't even tell wines apart." "Should've followed old Chen's example and just kept a college girl on the side. Wouldn't even cost a hundred grand a year." I turned around and slammed divorce papers in front of him. His eyebrow twitched when he saw he'd get nothing, but he played it cool: "I'll give you a hundred thousand, since you've been with me for a year." Exactly the price of keeping a college girl for a year. I slid my wedding ring across the table: "No need, Mr. Mitchell." He had no idea my father was Chairman Sullivan, kingmaker of the capital's business elite. He had no clue that the IPO opportunity he treasured so dearly? It was just a throwaway project my father had casually tossed his way. The day we signed those papers, he thought he was regaining his freedom. In reality, he'd just lost his empire.
