My Billionaire Ex Proposed to the Wrong Heiress,So I Bankrupted HimChapter 1

To be with me, Elwin Gilbert gave up his position as heir to his family's empire.

After cutting ties with his clan, he lived with me in a basement apartment, surviving on instant noodles.

We built our company from nothing. In just five years, we took it public.

At the IPO gala, he walked toward me—diamond ring in hand, bouquet of roses cradled in his arm.

But he brushed past me.

He stopped in front of his secretary, dropped to one knee, and proposed.

I stared at him, stunned. "Why?"

He didn't even look at me. "Valerie is the daughter of Capital City's richest man. She defied her family to help me, came all the way to Bayview City alone. I have to take responsibility for her."

"From now on, she'll be my wife. You'll be my business partner. Together, we'll take this company to new heights."

I laughed out loud.

After my brother turned out to be a lost cause, my parents decided to toughen me up the hard way—raising me with nothing so I'd learn to fight for everything.

Funny. I didn't know I had a secret sister.
