Wren wasn't done - she confessed everything , loud enough for the whole bar to hear : " I only got with you for your money from day one . You didn't actually think I loved you , did you ? " " All that romantic shit I said was just lies I made up - only an idiot like you would believe it . Look in the mirror and see if you're even worth it ! " Jaxon completely lost it . All his self - respect , pride , and final hopes were shredded by Wren's words . He lunged at her like a madman , and they started brawling right there in the bar . It was an ugly scene - bottles smashing , furniture flying . Wren's new boyfriend , some tough - looking bruiser , immediately joined the fight . He grabbed a bottle and smashed it down on Jaxon's head . Jaxon got beaten to a pulp , completely defenseless , just curled up on the ground wailing . Eventually , all three were arrested by police for public fighting . This whole shitshow was witnessed by crowds of people , filmed , and posted online , making them the laughingstock of the entire city . Jaxon's parents were called to bail him out of jail . When they saw their son's battered , pathetic state and heard the whole story from the cops , they were mortified . The elderly couple was so furious they disowned him on the spot . " The Morrison family doesn't have a son like you ! Whether you live or die from now on has nothing to do with us ! Don't ever come looking for us again ! " Jazon was completely and utterly alone . After taking over the branch office , I implemented a series of sweeping reforms . All those ass - kissers Jazon had promoted - people who only knew how to flatter - I fired them all . Company procedures and systems were completely overhauled , every position filled with capable , motivated employees . And that IT director who'd been scapegoated and fired over the server incident , I brought him back too . I also gave him double the salary and the position of Chief Technology Officer , putting him in charge of the company's entire tech upgrade . The day he returned , the whole IT department was ecstatic - many longtime employees had tears in their eyes . The company atmosphere was better than ever , with everyone pulling in the same direction . Chapter 9 As for Jaxon , since he couldn't repay his massive debt to the company , the court listed him as a dishonest debtor . He'd completely fallen to the bottom of society . I heard his parents eventually took pity on him , giving him enough money to rent a small apartment in some small town , barely scraping by . But that pittance was nothing against the mountain of debt he owed , One afternoon , I was driving to a meeting with a partner company . While waiting at a red light , I casually glanced out the window . I saw a familiar figure . It was Jaxon . He was wearing cheap work clothes , handing out flyers on the street corner one by one to passersby , most of whom avoided him with disgust . His whole demeanor was dim and lifeless , completely different from the ambitious man in my memory . He saw me too , saw the car that used to be his . Our eyes met across the space . He froze , and the flyers in his hands scattered to the ground , blown everywhere by the wind . He started to approach , wanting to say something . But my assistant had already gotten out to open my car door . My assistant stood beside me in his well tailored suit , confidently briefing me on the upcoming schedule , Jazon looked at him , then at me , and finally hung his head in shame , quietly gathering up the scattered flyers . I didn't linger , walking straight into the building across the street . Walking toward my bright future . My brand new life was just beginning .
