Buying My Freedom From The Cheating CEO

Wo Ruo Romance

“For ten years, Giovanna Leonard's entire world was built around a flawless future with her fiancé, Johnathan, and the wealthy Brooks family who had taken her in. But at a glittering Waldorf Astoria gala, she found a VIP room door ajar and overheard Johnathan drunkenly promising to marry her stepsister, Danielle. After Giovanna publicly returned his diamond ring, the nightmare only escalated. When she went to the Brooks estate to pack her belongings, her adoptive mother and stepsister locked her out in the freezing rain. Danielle hurled an umbrella at her and tried to push a heavy terracotta planter onto her head, screaming that she was nothing but an ungrateful "stray dog." Her adoptive mother watched coldly, ordering Giovanna to go back and beg Johnathan for forgiveness, claiming his betrayal was just a "strategic family alliance." A decade of loyalty and love collapsed into a grotesque joke. She finally realized she had never been a daughter to them; she was just a cheap commodity, an asset they could use and discard at will. But they didn't know the stray dog had a secret bite. Standing in the downpour, Giovanna calmly recorded their assault, demanded a fifty-million-dollar buyout to legally sever all ties, and walked away. Back in her hotel room, she opened an encrypted forum and messaged an anonymous billionaire known only as "X." It was time to cash out her hidden empire and make them pay.”
