Chapter10 On the day of the trial , Marta and I sat in the audience , silently watching everything unfold .
The evidence was undeniable , and Irvin had no way out .
At the last moment , he glanced at me and Marta , as though he understood something .
He smirked , a self deprecating laugh escaping his lips .
Irvin , you will now spend your life in prison ! After the trial , Marta , Quinn , and I gathered at the door .
I handed Marta the money I had promised 1/12 Chapter10 + 5 Points her , deposited on a bank card .
But she refused .
Youve already helped me solve the problem with Todd .
Thats worth more than this three million .
From now on , Ill take good care of my son .
I smiled helplessly , but still pressed the money into her hands .
You deserve it , take it .
Quinn smiled brightly .
By the way , Sis , now that everything is settled , what are you planning to do ? .
I lowered my head , thinking of my long held dream of fashion design .
I want to open a studio and fulfill my dream .
Quinn ! Just then , I heard a familiar voice .
I frowned Chapter10 + 5 Points and turned around .
It was Joseph .
He walked over , looking stern , and grabbed Quinn by the ear .
I told you to be careful who you hang out with .
Look at you ! If it werent for your ex wife being so smart … Before Joseph could finish , he saw me standing beside them .
His grip loosened as he looked at me with clearer recognition .
Quinn rubbed her ear and complained , Uncle , what are you doing ? There are so many people around ! I smiled and looked at him .
Joseph , long time no see .
I was just about to look for you .
3/12 Chapter10 + 5 Points Joseph scratched his neck , looking a bit awkward .
I cant believe someone like that married you ! I tilted my head .
Isnt that already in the past ? Quinns eyes widened in surprise .
You two know each other ? She thought for a moment , then her eyes lit up .
Oh ! You must be the sister my uncle chased for years but could never catch ! Before she finished , Joseph covered her mouth .
He gritted his teeth and whispered , Give me a little face .
Marta and I exchanged a knowing smile .
4/12 Chapter10 It felt so good now … + 5 Points A year passed in the blink of an eye .
I hadnt seen Marta in a long time .
My fashion brand was doing extremely well in the country .
More importantly , my studio only hired women .
As long as they were capable and ambitious , we took them .

To gain more exposure , I hosted a fashion show .
Quinn , being beautiful with a great figure , was invited to model for me .
5/12 Chapter10 +5 Points I also sent an invitation to Marta , unsure if she would come .
Just as I was standing at the door , lost in thought , I heard a familiar voice .
Bertha ! I turned around in surprise and saw Marta walking over , holding a little boys hand and smiling .
She looked elegant , completely different from when I first met her .
The little boy released her hand and ran over to hug me .
Godmother , hello ! I gently rubbed his head and looked at Marta .
Godmother ? Marta smiled .
Youre our great benefactor .
I often brag to my son that this beautiful 6/12 Chapter10 + 5 Points woman is his godmother ! I smiled at the little boy and pulled some candy from my bag , handing it to him .
How have you been ? I asked Marta .
She patted her chest and shook the designer watch on her wrist .
That money you gave me ? I invested it in a business .
Im really good at cooking , and the restaurant business has been growing steadily .
Now I have stores across the country ! I gave her a thumbs up .
Impressive ! Bertha , why arent you coming inside ? Its almost time ! Quinn , wearing one of my designs , ran over .
When she saw Marta , her mouth dropped open in surprise .
Marta , youre here too ! 7/12 Chapter10 + 5 Points Can you act more like a lady ? Joseph chased after Quinn from behind .
He was holding a bouquet of white statice .
I smiled , watching their playful bickering .
Quinn pulled Marta into the venue , leaving only Joseph and me at the door .
He handed me the flowers .
Bertha , congratulations on finally fulfilling your dream .
I took the flowers .
Thank you , you remembered I like statice .
Josephs ears turned red as he lowered his head and scratched his neck .
About what I said last time … 8/12 Chapter10 + 5 Points I stopped smiling .
He had confessed to me before , but I rejected him .
Now , my focus was on my career , not love .
Im sorry , I dont think I can accept your feelings right now .
After going through Irvins betrayal , I realized that a woman needs to have her own career and independence to live happily .
Joseph looked a bit disappointed .
I promise I wont be like Irvin .
Ill respect all your choices and never get in the way of your career .
I nodded , my expression serious .
I know , but my brand is still in its early stages , and the market isnt stable yet .
9/12 Chapter10 + 5 Points I smiled .
Besides , even if you wanted to interfere , I wouldnt give you the chance .
Joseph reluctantly pulled his hand back .
Hey , uncle , you idiot ! Dont you get it ? Just wait , its not like theres no chance ! Quinn , flustered , blurted out .
I turned around in surprise .
Sure enough ! They were all hiding behind the wall , eavesdropping ! Quinn stepped forward and pushed Joseph away .
Alright , stop bothering us .
Go do your thing ! She then took my arm , and we started to walk away together .
10/12 Chapter10 + 5 Points Bertha , you really cant accept me ? Joseph called after us .
I stopped , turned around , and smiled .
Lets see how things go .
The End .

On the same day, the company I had worked so hard to build was betrayed by my own people and thrown into crisis .
For a moment , many people came to comfort me , full of sympathy .
11/12 Chapter10 + 5 Points I simply smiled as if it didnt matter and said , Well , isnt this a double blessing ! Everyone thought I had gone crazy from the double blow .
Only I knew I had been waiting for this day ! 12/12
