---- Of course, I knew that. He was the only one who treated me nicely so far. I started learning the ropes of the company with my father. I had prior work experience, so it was not foreign to me. I just needed to change my point of view and angle to manage the company. "Madeline," my father called out to me. He looked at me painfully and said, ''Ted told me all about the suffering you went through. I'll seek justice for you." With just that one sentence, he had already decided the fate of Jason's company. My father's main business was abroad. He had some in the country, but not a lot. Coincidentally, Jason was also trying to expand his business abroad. Thus, my father teamed up with other companies to stop Jason from expanding. Of course, I played a role in it too. ---- I was Jason's assistant for many years. I understood his company well and knew all of his weaknesses. Jason was banking on international trade and had completely given up on domestic business. After losing a few huge clients, his capital started to dry up. When his company was about to fall, he came looking for me once more. I initially thought that fear would wash over me once more, but that was not the case. I had gotten much stronger and fearless. Although I still felt a little uneasy, I could openly face him. "Madeline, I know your family is well-connected abroad. Could you please help ask your father to have mercy on me?" Jason looked weary. Clearly, he was not having a good time. He added, "I know you love me. Why don't we get married? Our two companies can join forces! I'll ---- give you half of everything I own!" I chuckled, wondering how he would have the audacity to think that I was still in love with him. "Married? What about Camila?" At the mention of Camila, Jason cursed.
