Chapter 7
Now, ten years have passed. Ten billion dollars is no longer an astronomical figure for Blake, and he has made the final judgment on our relationship.
Taking the initiative to break up was my last dignity.
I never contacted Blake again. I wrote papers, conducted research, and then sold the results to Phoenix Global.
I must say, the boss of Phoenix Global was much more sincere than Blake. After two collaborations, he sincerely invited me to become a shareholder in their company and share in the profits.
In a year, I could probably make three to five million dollars.
The income from research results was calculated separately.
Now, I could be considered somewhat successful in my career, and I also had time to start investigating what happened years ago.
Stardust Legacy, the culprit that caused my family’s bankruptcy and my parents‘ deaths, I would not let them off.
But I never imagined that the real culprit was actually Blake’s grandfather!
The one I respected, loved, and treated as my own elder, was actually the true murderer who destroyed my family!
I laughed, a desolate laugh.
Even the boss of Phoenix Global, who gave me the information, was a bit worried about my condition and carefully asked if I was okay.
I shook my head. What could be wrong with me?
After my parents‘ death, I went from being a little princess at home to suddenly losing all support. In these years of studying abroad, I’ve been through all kinds of hardships and difficulties.
Blake always thought he had taken good care of me, but he didn’t know that as soon as I flew abroad with his money, before I even landed, I was knocked unconscious and robbed of everything I had, including the little savings
I had accumulated since childhood.
If it wasn’t for the boss of Phoenix Global, I don’t know if I would have had the chance to stand here.
At that time, the boss of Phoenix Global had asked me if I wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly, but I refused.
Because I was too familiar with the person who robbed me. He was from The Sterling Family.
I didn’t want Blake to be in a difficult position.
But now it seems that from beginning to end, I was the only one who was completely kept in the dark.

I told the boss of Phoenix Global. “I want The Sterling Family to disappear.
He agreed.
Phoenix Global was already powerful, one of the top pharmaceutical companies abroad.
Although they had just entered the domestic market, with their previous foundation, they weren’t doing badly.
Moreover, Phoenix Global was in the same business as The Sterling Family. Swallowing them was inevitable.
We hit it off immediately.
In less than half a month, The Sterling Group was in complete disarray.
When I met Blake again, it was at the acquisition meeting for The Sterling Group.
Although it had only been two months since we last met, he looked like he had aged a whole round. White hair had crept up his temples, and his sunken eye sockets no longer held their previous vitality.
I could hardly associate this dejected man with the youth I had deeply loved at seventeen.
Blake was very surprised to see me, but soon his eyes darkened.
The acquisition went smoothly. With the same products and market, Phoenix Global’s faster update speed and consistently lower costs than The Sterling Group made failure a foregone conclusion.
When it came time for the final decision, the boss of Phoenix Global, my partner, asked for my opinion.
I was about to sign when Emma rushed over like a madwoman and pressed down on my hand.
“Scarlett! How can you be so heartless?”
“You’ve been with Blake for ten years, how can you be so cruel?”
I’m cruel?
I’ve seen victims pointing at their abusers and calling them inhuman, but I’ve never seen abusers pointing at their victims and calling them cruel.
Too lazy to say more to such an idiot, I stared at Blake and asked word by word.
“Mr. Sterling, are you going to sign this/contract or not?”
Blake’s face turned pale, but he still pulled Emma away.
Under Emma’s unwilling gaze, I swiftly signed my name on the acquisition contract.
When Blake took the contract, his entire hand was shaking.
I understand this feeling. Ten years ago, when my family went bankrupt, I was in just as much pain.

No, I was much more in pain than Blake.
After all, besides bankruptcy, I also lost my parents who loved me the most.
Now, just making The Sterling Family go bankrupt, without taking away the lives of their whole family, was already
me being lenient for the sake of my ten–year relationship with Blake.
But I didn’t expect Blake to have the audacity to stop me.
