The Billionaire CEO Rejected Every Man for One Single Dad — Until Her Sister Revealed Why She Could Never Forget Him
Chapter 10
The final confrontation came when the board demanded Victoria resign.
They argued that the scandal surrounding her family damaged the company.
Victoria refused.
Instead, she presented the full investigation.
She admitted publicly that her father had manipulated financial records and destroyed personal correspondence.
She apologized to Ethan’s family.
Then she announced that Hartwell Industries would become a public company with independent oversight.
The decision stunned the business world.
Victoria stepped down from several family-controlled positions.
She retained her CEO role.
But the company would no longer be governed as a personal empire.
Ethan watched the announcement from home.
Noah sat beside him.
“Is she famous?”
Ethan laughed.
“Very.”
“Do you love her?”
Ethan looked at him.
“Yes.”
Noah smiled.
“I knew it.”
Ethan shook his head.
“You did?”
“Everyone knows.”
That evening, Victoria came over.
Noah ran to her.
“Did you save the company?”
Victoria smiled.
“Maybe.”
Noah nodded.
“Good.”
Ethan looked at her.
“You okay?”
She nodded.
“For the first time, I think I am.”
He held out his hand.
She took it.
No grand speech.
No dramatic promise.
Just two people who had finally stopped letting the past speak for them.
