She Undervalued Diamonds, He Overvalued Her

During the biggest sales day of the year, my fiance's "sweet and clueless" assistant sells a one-carat diamond for one cent. In just 20 minutes, the company loses 200 million dollars.

I am so furious that my entire body shakes, yet Hendrick Shaw, my fiance, pulls me into his arms and comforts me, "Don't worry. I'll handle it."

However, that same night, Selena Suther posts a screenshot on social media—a transfer of 1,430,000 dollars, with the recipient note saying "I love you."

The caption attached to the screenshot is "I made a huge mistake today, but my boss comforted me instead. He even reminded me not to be angry at the 'tigress' and to be good."

I comment on her post, "I wish you both happiness forever."

Selena instantly deletes the post, but Hendrick abruptly charges in and lands a resounding slap on my cheek.

"What's your motive for liking Lena's post? She's now so overcome by guilt and shame that she's about to end her life!

"The company only lost 200 million dollars. Do you have to force her into a corner over it?"

He sounds so righteous and fearless.

Later, why does Hendrick cry when he can't even afford a 20-dollar meal?

Hendrick Shaw's hand hovered in mid-air, still raised from the slap he had delivered me just now. His chest heaved violently as he stared at me like I was some enemy.

"If something happens to Lena, I'll definitely make you pay!"

My hand flew up to cradle my cheek as I stared at him in disbelief. "Hendrick Shaw, did you really hit me because of a mere assistant?"

"So what if I did?" Hendrick's fury deepened. "Noelle Turner, just look at yourself right now! Your petty jealousy truly makes me sick!"

"That's 200 million, not 200 dollars!" I retorted shrilly. "Besides, that's the company's money—a result of everyone's hard work! You shouldn't be using it to pay for Lena's stupidity!"

"The company's money? Where would the company be today without me?"

Hendrick looked down at me with a superior expression and asked, "Other than the meager investment you gathered at the beginning, what else have you done? How dare you tell me what to do!"

Fury coursing through me left my whole body trembling. I bit down hard on my lip as I glared at him.

Hendrick and I had been together since our college years. Back then, he was a prodigy of the finance department, but also the poorest of them all.

Nonetheless, he was willing to live frugally for a month just so he could buy me a bouquet of sunflowers—my favorite flowers.

Back then, I was worried about putting pressure on him, so I lied and told him I came from an average family. I didn't mind eating at roadside stalls with him and would be overjoyed even at the cheapest gifts.

Later, when he started his own company, he would go around all day begging people for investments, then coming back looking
