Chapter 120
That same day, my dad threw a welcome ceremony for me as the new CEO of William Enterprises.
He stated, “You’ve been giving me a headache for over ten years. Now it’s your turn to make it up to your old man. From now on, anything at work’s too tricky, just talk it over with Colin. The guy’s solid and dependable.“}
The very next day, my father packed up his bags, not bothering even to set foot in the office.

With Colin’s support and the help of some long–time friends, the transition was smooth as butter. William Enterprises was more stable than ever, and I was running things just the way I wanted.”
As for Tyler?
Well, it wasn’t looking so hot for him. His clients had already jumped ship, his finances were in disarray, and with all the scandals swirling around, employees started walking out the door as well.
Many of them came to me for help, and honestly, they weren’t just complaining about their work. They were straight–up tearing him apart. Some even looked into Tyler’s family background, criticizing his parents for raising a man who harmed others‘ lives.
Within a month, the Scott Group went completely bankrupt.}
A few weeks later, 1 was at the company, checking in on a delivery of raw materials for a developer. I had some free time, so I decided to go over the details for next year’s contract.}
As I was walking out of the office with James Lennox, our general manager, I caught sight of someone I thought I recognized. I turned around–and there he was. Tyler.”
He looked… rough. Thinner, disheveled, and not even trying to hold onto that cold, imposing air he used to have.
He was standing there for a moment, frozen. When he finally noticed me, his eyes went wide.}
“Zoey, it’s me. Tyler,” he called out, rushing toward me, dropping the materials he was carrying.”
Before I could even react, my bodyguards stepped forward, blocking him.
“Stay away,” one of them said, pushing him back.
But Tyler didn’t stop. He kept coming, shouting my name, moving closer.}]
Jarnes, standing beside me, gave me a bewildered look. “Miss Williams, is this guy a friend of yours?“}

I just smiled and shook my head. “I don’t know him.“>
Turning to James, I said, “Next time, make sure to keep an eye on people like him. We don’t need anyone like that around here.“} James nodded quickly, making a call on his phone without another word.”
As I got in the car, I looked out the window and saw Tyler still explaining something to some guy who looked like the supervisor. The supervisor didn’t waste any time. He pulled out a couple of bills, threw them at Tyler, and had him escorted off the premises.}
I smiled. Maybe this was the life Tyler was always meant to have.
The love I gave, the sacrifices I made–it all changed the course of things.
The love was gone. The reasons for me to cling to it, the justifications, all slowly faded into the background.
And the consequence? Well, it spoke louder than any excuse ever could.}
The End.
