The Hidden Billionaire

In a brightly lit office building, Susan Holmes stood pale-faced outside the Huxley Corporations CEO office. Peering through the crack in the door, she saw a man and a woman tightly embracing, the atmosphere vibrant.

Separated only by a door, she heard the mans low panting. Then, the womans coquettish voice, intermittently, came through the door:

"Mr. Huxley, Holmes Enterprises is about to announce bankruptcy. Youre really heartless towards Susan, arent you?"

Susan felt a chill throughout her body; wasnt that her grandfathers company?

The man indifferently lit a cigarette, and amidst the swirling smoke, he coldly said, "Susan Holmes, shes nothing more than a plaything; her value has been exhausted."

Plaything! Plaything! Plaything!

The flat, emotionless sentence exploded in Susans mind over and over again.

Those two simple words were like ten thousand sharp knives, stabbing her until she was torn and bleeding.

Susan could no longer control herself, stumbled, and fell to the ground, weak and lifeless, making a crisp sound.

"Whos there!"

The woman, startled, looked towards the door.

"Xavier, is it true what you said?" Susans dark eyes stared straight at Xavier Huxley.

The woman then saw Susan sitting at the door, once regarded as the future first lady of the Huxley family, now in a state of utter disarray.

"If you already know, why ask? Youre not even like yourself anymore," the cold male voice echoed lightly in the room, devoid of any emotional fluctuation. He glanced at her, as if seeing something filthy, and then turned his gaze away, no longer bothering to look at her.

Susan felt her heart sink to the bottom of a frozen lake, cold and devoid of warmth.

It was always said in the industry that he had a decisive and ruthless style, and she had witnessed it before.

But always on the same side, this time he had turned his spear directly at her!

Five years, from the most basic employee to the current chief trader, she had given everything to him with all her heart. The night he got drunk and pulled her into the hotel, becoming his woman at that moment, she thought she was dreaming, so many years of wishes, so many years of admiration, finally blossomed.

But he stood too high, saw too far, was too dazzling, and she was always afraid that she would not be able to keep up with him if she was not careful.

Even after becoming his, she did not dare to slack off. Besides sleeping only 5 hours a day, she was always creating performance for the Huxley Corporation!

She thought she would become "special" in his heart. She never thought that today she would end up like this!

"Bang!" A loud noise, she slammed the door and fled the place.

Susan bit her teeth, ran wildly, seven-centimeter high heels stumbled, and she fell on the side of the road.

Kicking off her shoes, like a madman, she ran wildly towards Holmes Holdings.

Such a long journey, she didnt even take a breath, and actually ran for half an hour, disheveled, like a beggar, wearing tattered stockings, barefoot to the companys front door.

"Sinful, at such an old age, you still have to jump off a building!" A sharp voice suddenly came into Susans ears.

She pantingly looked back, saw a large group of people around the companys door, pointing at the rooftop.

Susan looked up, saw the figure standing on the rooftop under the light, her heart missed a beat. That was... her grandfather!

"Grandpa! Dont scare me!" Susans tears fell, and her hoarse voice was terrifyingly hollow.

But the building was so high, her voice was like a gust of wind, instantly blown into ashes.

The next moment, she watched her elderly grandfather leap from the top of the sixty-six-story building.

"Bang"—

He was right beside her, his brain burst, blood flowing...

At that moment, a car rushed over and hit Susan.

She stood beside her grandfathers body, dazed, when the hit-and-run driver drove a luxury car over her body, and she understood that this life... was over.

Memories surged like a tide, three years ago, she was called to the ancestral house, her grandfather sighed coldly, with disappointment, helplessness, and anger towards her.

"Tan, people are valuable in self-awareness, you and that Xiao family are impossible."

"Why?"

"Today, someone came from his side, and Old Xiao has already spoken, when will you stop being obsessed!" A low sigh accompanied by the gradually dissipating smell of smoke spread in the old house.

"Grandpa, I like him." In the dark world, her former self raised her head, full of melancholy but unable to cover her hot heart, full of excitement: "I have identified Xiao Xu in my life, besides him, I will never like others."

So pure, so passionate, so joyful but worried.

"You go. I hope you wont regret it later." Her grandfather turned his head with a sense of loss, no longer looking at her, but she heard clearly, it was the old mans complete disappointment in her.

The next moment, the scene changed instantly. Her grandfather stood on the top of sixty-six, his face full of embarrassment and fatigue: "Tan, Grandpa cant save the company, cant save it..."

She felt her neck was fiercely pinched by something, unable to make any sound. Her grandfathers face was full of laughter, but he jumped up—

"No!" A shrill scream came from her mouth, this time, she got rid of the force on her throat, her voice was cold and desperate, as if it came from the bottom of hell.

The people around her were scared, and immediately screamed: "Doctor! Doctor! My daughter is uncomfortable!"
