Chapter 130
Evelyn's fingertip hovered over the mouse.
Nigel Norton's domestic violence video exploded across the internet instantly.
This was just the appetizer.
Scarlet Archer studied the young woman before her with undisguised awe.
"Evelyn, are you sure you've never worked in finance before?"
"Never." Evelyn shook her head. "I just grew up hearing about it."
At the Kingsley family dinners, Patriarch Kingsley loved discussing business battles. Madam Kingsley hung on every word, and Evelyn absorbed it all by osmosis.
Scarlet inhaled sharply.
This wasn't osmosis. This was raw, undeniable talent.
"Another trading halt!" Scarlet gasped. "Kingsley Group made their move!"
Evelyn's head snapped up.
The announcement flashed across the screen—Kingsley Group had officially endorsed her investigative report.
"Now!" Evelyn commanded. "Leverage every cent we have!"
Kingsley's intervention changed everything. That hundred-page professional report was designed to bury Tonggowan Manufacturing.
Scarlet's hands trembled. "We're... going to make a killing."
The next day, Evelyn dropped another bombshell.
Evidence of Nigel's asset transfers. Proof of his mistress. Every damning detail went viral.
Tonggowan's stock plummeted.
On the final day of the mandatory cooling-off period, Nigel knelt outside the marriage registry office.
"Scarlet, please..." His face was haggard. "Make Kingsley stop..."
Scarlet's laugh was ice-cold.
A dozen bodyguards stood behind her now. The abusive husband she once feared could no longer touch her.
"Sign." She slammed the divorce papers onto the table.
Nigel's mistress had already fled with his money, now wanted by police. With his world collapsing, he had no fight left.
Twitter erupted.
[That reporter girl is LEGENDARY!]
[From wife-beater to bankrupt—this is the drama I live for!]
[Team Evelyn assemble! Justice served!]
Evelyn exhaled slowly as she watched the screen.
This battle had been won—decisively.
