Just then, the office door was kicked open with a bang.
Another secretary, Xiao Zhang, turned pale and stumbled in without even knocking.
"Mr. Lin...Mr. Lin! Something terrible has happened!"
Xiao Zhang was out of breath, and his voice had changed.
Lin Wanrou's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition welled up in her mind.
She suppressed her unease and asked sternly, "What is it? Why are you in such a panic? What kind of behavior is this!"
"The money in...the company's accounts..."
Xiao Zhang stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
"What's wrong with the money?"
Lin Wanrou suddenly stood up, her voice rising eight octaves, causing the documents on the table to bounce.
"The money...the money is gone! Our...our cash flow...is cut off!"
Xiao Zhang finally finished speaking, but it was like a bombshell exploding in Lin Wanrou's mind.
"What did you say?!"
Lin Wanrou could hardly believe her ears. She staggered back a few steps and barely managed to stand up by holding onto the table.
How is that possible?
The company clearly had a large sum of money in its account, so how could it suddenly disappear?
How could the cash flow suddenly break down?
"What...what exactly is going on?"
Lin Wanrou's voice trembled violently as she stared intently at Xiao Zhang, hoping it was just a nightmare.
"It's...it's Chen Kai! Assistant Chen!"
Xiao Zhang's voice was filled with fear.
"He...he signed several contracts in the past two days and...transferred all the money from the company's account!"
"Chen Kai?!"
Lin Wanrou's pupils suddenly contracted, and her mind went blank.
Chen Kai was her confidant and the company's CFO, and had always enjoyed her deep trust.
How could he do such a thing?
Where is he?!
Lin Wanrou's voice was almost a roar; all she wanted now was to find Chen Kai and get to the bottom of things!
"He...he submitted his resignation today, and...he's gone..."
Xiao Zhang's voice grew softer and softer, and his head drooped lower and lower.
"Resigned? Disappeared?"
Lin Wanrou felt a chill run from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head, making her feel icy cold all over.
She finally realized that it was all premeditated!
Chen Kai deliberately absconded with the company's money and then disappeared!
Without thinking twice, she immediately took out her phone and dialed Chen Kai's number.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off..."
A cold, mechanical female voice repeated itself over and over again.
Lin Wanrou was unwilling to give up and dialed several more times, but the result was the same.
Finally, she received a notification message that Chen Kai had blocked her.
"Bastard! You son of a bitch!"
Lin Wanrou was so angry that she trembled all over and slammed her phone to the ground.
The screen shattered instantly, just like her feelings at that moment, broken into pieces.
She slumped into the chair, her eyes vacant, as if she had lost her soul.
Only then did she suddenly remember the strange feeling she had experienced in the villa that morning.
Something's missing...
What's missing?
Chen Kai's stuff is missing!
His clothes, his shoes, his toiletries...
Everything that belonged to Chen Kai vanished without a trace.
Just like him, he completely disappeared from her life.
It turns out he had planned all of this all along!
It turns out he had betrayed her long ago!
A tremendous sorrow and anger erupted in Lin Wanrou's heart like a volcanic eruption.
She was scammed!
I was deceived by the person I trusted most!
She not only lost the company's funds, but also a "lover"!
"No...it's impossible...this can't be..."
Lin Wanrou acted as if she were going crazy, grabbing the broken phone on the table and dialing the number she knew by heart over and over again.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off..."
The mechanical female voice repeated mercilessly, like sharp knives piercing her heart.
Each repetition only deepened her despair.
She was unwilling to accept it; she couldn't believe that the man who had sworn to love her would treat her like this!
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off..."
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off..."
Again and again, again and again...
Lin Wanrou's hands began to tremble, and the phone almost slipped from her grasp.
She suddenly looked up, staring intently at Xiao Zhang, and roared, "Tell me! This isn't true! He's lying to me! Isn't he?!"
Xiao Zhang was so frightened that he backed away, lowered his head, and dared not look into Lin Wanrou's bloodshot eyes.
"President Lin... Assistant Chen... he really..."
Before Xiao Zhang could finish speaking, Lin Wanrou broke down.
She screamed and slammed her phone to the ground.
With a "crack," the already shattered screen completely shattered into pieces.
The shards flew everywhere, just like Lin Wanrou's shattered heart at that moment.
She slumped weakly into the chair, her eyes vacant and lifeless, as if she had lost all her strength.
She lost.
They suffered a crushing defeat.
She was betrayed by the person she trusted most and swindled out of all her money.
Why?
She couldn't understand it, she really couldn't understand it.
Why did Chen Kai do this?
She was so good to him; she gave him whatever he wanted.
She even went so far as to divorce Qin Yang for him...
Thinking of this, Lin Wanrou felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, the pain making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
