After My Fiancée Claimed Her New Assistant Was the Future of the Company, I Made the Company Go Bankrupt novel

At the company's annual banquet, just as I was about to pick up a piece of meat, the new employee suddenly turned the tables.
Some people dont do a single serious thing in this company. All they know is eating every single day.
And what's worse is they're leeching off his girlfriend.
Not only was he meddling, but his tone was dripping with sarcasm.
I chuckled softly, then turned to my fiance, Wanda Robinson, who had arrived late to ask, So this is the new assistant you've been raving about?

"Tristan, that's enough!"
"Julian is a newcomer. It's only natural he'd be nervous and forget his manners.
He graduated from a prestigious foreign university and studied under a renowned financial master. He's far superior to you, a half-baked amateur. He's the future of this company!
I thought she would be on my side, but who knew she was protecting him completely. She even stepped on me to lift him up.
Mocking smiles appeared on every employee present. They all thought I was asking to be humiliated, a leech who could not even behave.
"Thank you for your trust, Wanda."
Julian Smith became even more smug and grinned broadly. After making a toast to Wanda, he turned to look at me.
Since everyone is here today, I have something I want to ask General Manager Sanders ....
In this partnership with Torch Capital, the other party demanded a 50-50 split. Why did you voluntarily concede and propose a 70-30 split instead?
The implication was clear that he suspected I'd pocketed kickbacks.
The room erupted in commotion.
Even Wanda turned to stare at me, demanding that I give a public explanation.
Giving them enough benefits the first time opens the door for more cooperation later.
I shot a calm glance at Julian. Dont tell me someone who graduated from a prestigious university cant understand such a simple principle?
This tactic had proven effective time and again and I had explained it to Wanda a long time ago.
Fallacious argument!
Julian slammed his fist on the table, retorting furiously. Business demands fairness and justice! If you show weakness, they'll push for more advantage!
"And besides, who would give away a piece of meat that's already in their mouth? Do you know how much loss you've caused the company?
Someone like you doesnt deserve to be general manager!
Silence fell all over the room.
No one expected Julian to dare say something like that. After all, no matter how useless I was, I was still Wanda's fianc and the future grandson-in-law who had been handpicked personally by Mr. Robinson, Sr, before his death.
I looked at Wanda.
Surely, she'll be on my side, right?
After all, shed always approved of such tactics before and we had been together for three years.
But her expression turned cold. "Tristan, given the gravity of the situation, you are temporarily suspended from your duties and will undergo investigation.
"Hand over your work to Julian."
I froze in place.
I had become the laughingstock of every employee in the room.
What future grandson-in-law was handpicked by Mr. Robinson? Hes just a dog that gets ordered around.
A kept man is still a kept man. President Robinson has him wrapped around her finger.
Just like a piece of clothingshe can replace you whenever she wants.
Some people grew bolder and started whispering among themselves.
Julian's smile widened and his words grew more arrogant. "Tristan Sanders, you've been suspended. What right do you have to eat here? Shouldn't you be going home to await the investigation?
Regaining my composure, I turned to Wanda and asked, Are you sure you want to do this?
She paused slightly, a complex gleam flashing in her eyes before she frowned. I will never bend the law for personal gainnot even for my fianc.
Although it was a perfectly legitimate procedure, it was obvious I did nothing wrong. However, because of Julian's accusation, I was replaced.
Truly ridiculous!
Absolutely laughable!
I stopped insisting, stood up with a cold face and walked outbut Wanda chased after me.

"Tristan!"
"Let me explain!"
She grabbed my hand.
I turned to look at her and remembered how thrilled shed been when I secured the companys first partnership deal.
"Tristan!"
Youre amazing! Youre my savior! Without you, the company wouldve gone bankrupt next month.
That night, Wanda got drunk. As she leaned against my shoulder, she murmured, "Meeting you is the happiest thing that has ever happened to me!
"From this moment on, if anyone tries to bully you, Ill be the first to stand up for you!
Youre mine and no one can take you away...
Her flushed cheeks were breathtakingly beautiful, like the evening glow on the horizon.
But not this moment. She felt like a stranger to me.
When she saw me not saying anything, she continued with a hint of reproach, With all those employees around earlier, I had to keep things professional. Otherwise, who would respect me?
"Please, try to understand me, okay?"
At the end of the words, she showed a pitiful expression, as if I had wronged her and made her suffer great injustice.
Is that all? Isn't it because you care about Julian more than me?" I asked seriously.
What are you thinking!
She hastily denied it. "Don't overthink. I only think Julian is talented. I admire him and want to keep him ...
Before she finished speaking, Julian's voice sounded.
She left after saying, After the annual meeting, let's take a boat tour around the city to watch the fireworks.
Then she turned and hurried away.
As I watched her, I shook my head in disappointment and muttered to myself, "Do you think I'm an idiot?"
In fact, there were some warning signs before today's incident.
Yesterday, when I went up to the rooftop to smoke, I accidentally overheard two executives talking.
They said Julian had asked Wanda to replace me as general manager and she had agreed. She even told him to find any excuse and bring it to the annual meeting.
With so many people around, it would be easy to pull it off.
She also told him not to worry and said she and I were only engaged.
Whether we would get married was still uncertain. ?Then she encouraged him to try even harder.
At the time, I dismissed it as ordinary gossip and didn't give it much thought. Little did I know reality would slap me in the face so hard.
Perhaps I should have realized long ago that their relationship was more than just business.
Take Julian's meal allowance, for instanceit's ten times higher than others. Another thing, Wanda was a very private person, so no one, including me, could enter her office freely, except for Julian.
Julian and I shared the same birthday, but she chose to attend his birthday rather than mine.
Every time I wanted to talk about it, she would use the same familiar line. "Julian is talented. I want to keep him, so of course I have to put in more effort."
Its not for meits for the company.
Please try to understand me, okay?
Paired with that signature pitiable gaze, it always melted my heart.
At the same time, I couldn't believe Wanda had changed her heart.
Because privately, she always declared her love for me, curling up like a kitten in my arms.
And whether at work or in life, I did my best.
In three years, we signed thousands of contracts and designed hundreds of hit products!
So countless prestigious family businesses extended olive branches.
When countless heiresses threw themselves at me, I didnt spare them a single glance.
Wanda could not drink alcohol, so I always took her drinks at social events, landing in the hospital multiple times.
Wanda loved Mexican cuisine, so I learned to cook it and let her order whatever she wanted every day.
She said she wanted to wait until the company was more established before marrying and I patiently waited.

For three years, I have devoted myself selflessly. But now, it was replaced?by a newcomer easily.
Was my love too shallow?
Or did Wanda's true colors show and she believed that I was useless?
I didnt know or even care to know.
So I sent Grandpa a message to vent my frustration.
[Old geezer!?What kind of trashy friends did you make? What kind of trashy marriage contract did you sign?]
[The moment she hit it big, she dumped your grandson!]
[Send someone to fetch me back to the Capital within three days!]
Since Wanda had her sights set on the villa, Id grant her freedom.
Why bother trying so hard? Why hang myself on one tree? After all, without her, I was still the prince of Tulice Countrys elite circle.
Without me, could she still bask in the spotlight as that unattainable beauty that everyone envies?
When Grandpa received the message and understood the details, his beard nearly stood on end in anger. He cursed her as a trash who couldn't recognize a diamond in the rough! The Robinson family was digging their own grave!
Then he comforted me, "Don't be sad. The Tulice Country's heiresses are looking forward to seeing your marriage end.
Plump or slender, whatever type I wanted, they had it all.
Right after talking with Grandfather, I received a message from Wanda.
[Tristan.]
[A client called for a last-minute meeting. I have to head over ASAP. We'll watch the fireworks another time.]
This excuse sounded familiar because it had not happened just once, but this year it happened ....
On my birthday and on our anniversary.
Wanda always claimed she was too busy with business deals, only to turn around and meet with Julian.
What excuse does she use this time?
I shook my head, asking no further questions and met with several close business partners.
I informed them I was about to leave and gave them the risk.
In my opinion, if Wanda had made Julian work as the general manager for a long time, she would lose my support. And eventually, the company would decline.
My partners were shocked and convinced Wanda must be insane to betray someone whod served her well and replace me with a newcomer.
It was no different from seeking destruction.
After parting ways with my friends, I stood alone by the shore, letting the wind blow through me. Countless fireworks bloomed in the night sky, like exploding shooting stars.
Amidst the dazzling display, I caught sight of Wanda. She was leaning against Julian's shoulder and looked up at the night sky, with a happy smile on the corner of her mouth.
That was brighter than the fireworks themselves.
Red strings were still tied around their wrists.
"As expected, you're lying to me again."
I smiled wryly, lighting a cigarette and puffing slowly by the shore.
Boom!
Another burst of fireworks erupted overhead.
Julian boldly lifted Wanda's chin to kiss him, but he avoided it.
Her flushed cheeks, however, had already betrayed her true feelings.
I stubbed out my cigarette and turned to leave.
It was just so happened, Wanda turned her head and saw a familiar figure on the shore from afar. Her heart skipped a beat as she murmured, "Tristan?
"What did you say?" Julian, next to her, was taken aback.
Nothing.
She shook her head and smiled. Then, though she felt she had made a mistake, as a precaution, she sent me a message.
[What are you doing, Tristan?]
[Eating.]
Seeing the reply, she was completely reassured and continued watching the fireworks with Julian from the boat. Pursuing that feeling of new romance.
Early the next morning, Wanda returned home looking exhausted. Upon seeing me, she pounced into my arms like a kitten.
"Tristan."
"I was so busy last night. That client was too difficult. Look at my mouth foaming with anger.
In private, she always loved to act spoiled around me.

I used to fall for this kind of act.
Looking back now, how many times was it genuine and how much was just an act?
This time, I didn't call her out on her feigned coyness, but I didn't offer any warm response either.
Perhaps sensing my unusual coolness, she pulled out a red string with a jade charm for peace.
Don't be angry!
I had a friend specially make this. It'll protect you forever and keep us happy for life!
That red string looked all too familiar.
Only then did Wanda let out a breath of relief. Then she said, Quick, come to the office with me. You should hand over your work to Julian."
"Take some time to rest. Once he gets familiar with the business and things have calmed down, you can go back to the company. You're my fianc. I won't let you suffer any losses.
Hearing her, I almost laughed out loud. I had already suffered, so what kind of guarantee was that?
When we arrived at the company, I walked into my office and saw Julian sitting in my chair as if he were the big boss. His feet propped up on my desk.
Are you angry right now? Are you furious? Someone as incompetent as you should have been fired long ago.
"Your position is already mine and soon . so is your fiance."
A taunting smile lifted at the corner of his mouth. It seemed he was waiting for me to lose my temper.
Have you finished? I asked calmly. "Then we can proceed to the handover."
Julian looked displeased.
Hmph! What is the use of handing over simple work like yours? Give me a break!
His face filled with disdain.
Hearing this, I just turned around to leave.
"Hold it!"
Julian became even more irritated. He lunged forward to grab my shoulder. But he lost his footing, sent him tumbling out of the office and landed flat on his face.
He grimaced in pain.
"Julian!"
Right then, Wanda came. She shoved me aside abruptly.
"Tristan!"
You've gone too far! I asked you to hand over work to him, not to bully him!
"Clearly, you're in the wrong first. How dare you pick on him?
If you have a problem, take it out on me!
As she said that, with an anxious expression on her face, she helped Julian up.
Since she said this loudly, the commotion attracted the attention of the senior executives in the surrounding offices. And they all stuck their head out from their offices.
You don't even ask what happened first before accusing me? I couldn't help but retort.
Wanda froze. She finally turned to look at Julian with an inquiring gaze.
"Wanda, I'm sorry, I caused you trouble again.
Julian apologized first, then, taking advantage of the situation, he shifted the blame and slandered me. "Tristan was angry and didn't want to hand over the work to me properly, so we had a conflict."
He didn't push meI tripped during the argument.
His words only added fuel to the fire.
Wanda glared at me and scolded even more indignantly, "Do you still try to wriggle out of it? This is clearly all your fault! Apologize to Julian! Or you're fired!!"
She was biased and believed anything he said. She wanted me to bow my head to him in front of everyone to humiliate me!
Then fire me.
As of today, I am no longer an employee of your company.
Leaving that sentence behind, I turned and walked away.
For a moment, Wanda was taken aback. When she was about to chase after me, Julian suddenly clutched his arm and cried out in pain.
She immediately abandoned the idea of following me and shifted her attention to his injury.
I left the company, got into the family car and headed to the airport to return to Tulice Country. I took nothing but my identification documents.
Because everything should have to be thrown away.
That afternoon, Wanda and Julian went together to renegotiate with Torch Capital.
"Wanda, don't worry, I know how to deal with this kind of big consortium and they will definitely agree to the new conditions.
"We'll stick to this profit-sharing ratio. They'll?get 30 % and we'll get 70%."
Throughout the journey, Julian radiated with confidence. But upon arriving at Torch Capital, they were barred from entering by the security.
"I'm Wanda Robinson. I have an appointment with your chairman today, Wanda said with a slight frown.
Move aside. We're discussing major business deals. If you delay us, you can pack your bags and leave, Julian said coldly.
Having completely crushed me, he no longer needed to pretend, revealing his true arrogant and bullying nature.
The security guard sneered, The chairman said he'll never cooperate with you people again.
Then he pulled out a sign that said. [The Dogs: Wanda Robinson And Julian Smith Are Banned!]
