On my birthday, I wait at a restaurant until they close for the night, yet Rebecca Shaw doesn't show up. Later, I see that her childhood friend, Hugh Somers, has shared a photo on his social media. "Thanks for the yacht, Rebecca! Let's take it for a spin tonight!" I like the photo and comment on it. "Have fun." In the next second, Rebecca calls me. "He's my assistant. I'm just rewarding him for closing a big deal! What's your problem? Do you have to be so sarcastic, you worthless piece of trash?"

A Pointless Tantrum Chapter 9
Catherine drove over in her Porsche Panamera. Lowering the window, she asked, "Derek, do I have the honor of inviting you to a meal?"I smiled. Peeling Rebecca off me, I strode over to Catherine.Rebecca was startled. "Derek, you started seeing her a long time ago, right? You two were in cahoots, weren't you?""You were the one who cheated on me, but you're accusing me of that right now?" I turned around with a look of disdain on my face.Getting out of the car, Catherine poured a bottle of mineral water on Rebecca's head. "If you don't have any mirrors, at least you can see your reflection in a puddle. Here's some water for you. Take a good look at yourself and ask yourself if you were ever worthy of my schemes!"If I liked Derek, I would've gotten together with him a long time ago. You wouldn't have a chance at all!"Rebecca's face turned pale when she heard that.Catherine scoffed. "Back then, Derek's father gave you one million dollars to leave Derek, but that wasn't enough

In the photo, Hugh's face had turned red and swollen from getting a beating. His pinky finger was bandaged as well. He sobbed pitifully as he accused me of abusing my power to settle personal scores. He claimed that he was forced to quit his job because of me.He even exposed the name of the company I was currently working in. When Evan and the others saw that, they instantly flew into a rage.I had no idea how Hugh managed to win those women's hearts, but surprisingly enough, several ignorant haters had turned into his fans.After hearing his accusations, they began slandering and insulting me on my company's official page. I kept evidence of all their deeds and replied to their comments one by one.I wrote a comment. "Hugh, you're the homewrecker who destroyed my marriage. These are all the photos you sent to me to taunt me. You've admitted to that, haven't you?"You're just a homewrecker, but you kept getting on my nerves on purpose. You were so determined to rely on a woman th

When Hugh joined the company, it would be fine if he only worked an administrative job, but he just had to become Rebecca's assistant.I didn't mind that, either. He was an assistant, so he only had to arrange schedules and print documents. However, Hugh just had to get involved in core business.Now that was something I couldn't stand.I was the one who had created the core technology, and even Evan, my assistant, only understood 30% of it.Later on, when Rebecca rewarded Hugh handsomely and bought a yacht for him, I instantly laughed at the absurdity. She was doing this to mock me.I wasn't some sort of pushover. I had wealth and skills, so why should I do anything for them?After going home, I made a deal with Catherine. Rebecca would be given Proposal A, which would be dropped halfway through.There were lots of bugs in the app, and I didn't get to fix them before I was kicked out.Many customers were complaining about it, so of course, the company couldn't proceed to the s

Rebecca was stunned by the questions. She turned to look at me, but I pretended I hadn't seen the pleading look in her eyes. In the end, she couldn't hold it in anymore. She spoke up, "Derek, you do the talking!"I shrugged. "I've already resigned. I'm not suitable for the job.""Derek, quit making a fuss. You're the one who has been in charge of this partnership since day one. You do the explanations! I'll pay you your dues when you're done!" Rebecca snapped.I hastily stopped her. "Ms. Shaw, we're already divorced. I've also handed over this task, so if you're not competent enough, you just have to get better!"Catherine smiled. "So Mr. Quinton was the one who did all this? I knew it. Other people can't possibly create such things with intelligence like theirs. Mr. Quinton, let's discuss this in detail, president to president!""'President'?" Rebecca was shocked. I shrugged. I had already started my own company on the day the divorce agreement was signed. I had worked for Re

Hugh gestured for me to have my glass filled. I covered my glass with a hand, saying, "I have stomach perforation. I can't drink."Beside us, Rebecca gave me a kick. "Drop that act right now. This is Ms. Campbell we're talking about!"Catherine spoke up for me, saying, "It's fine if he can't drink. He can have some water. Mr. Somers, why don't you drink instead?"With that, she ordered the waiter to fill Hugh's glass. After downing three consecutive glasses of wine, Hugh grew bright red in the face. He was even beginning to stumble over his words.Catherine sighed. "This won't do! I heard that Derek once drank so much that his stomach bled, and he had to be sent to the hospital to get his stomach cleaned. Now that it's Mr. Somers' turn to drink, he's not faring well at all."Rebecca's face turned pale when she heard that. I scoffed. I had attended countless meal appointments like this just to negotiate deals for Rebecca. I had forced so much alcohol down my throat that I began

Catherine immediately turned around to leave. Hugh was bewildered.Rebecca began to panic. "Ms. Campbell! I can explain! I'll get Derek here right now, so please hold on! Just a minute!"Catherine wouldn't wait, of course. She left right away.I was playing games in the office. I was getting to the good part when I heard footsteps at the entrance.Then, a figure barged in and slapped me on sight. "Derek, you bastard! Look at what you did!"I touched my face, feeling a little stunned. Then, when I recovered my senses, I scoffed at the intruder. "This is your second time hitting me, Rebecca. I'm calling the cops!"Rebecca was shaking in fury. "You wouldn't dare! Tell me. What did you say to Ironstone Tech? Catherine left as soon as she got here and saw me. She even said that she had already discussed it with you. If you don't get her to come back, I won't let you off the hook!"Without another word, I got up to leave. Rebecca shouted angrily, "Stop! Where are you going?""I'm

I had no idea how shameless Hugh had to be to brag in my face every single day. Still, I had to admit that he had struck a nerve.I pushed the box in Rebecca's direction. Rebecca glanced at it before raising an eyebrow. "What's the matter? You don't like it? Derek, what exactly do you want? I've already apologized to you, so what are you making a fuss for?""My birthday is already over. Rebecca, let's get divorced," I said.I had already prepared the divorce agreement.I continued, "If you refuse, I'll file a lawsuit according to the procedures."Rebecca was furious when she saw that. "Derek, what exactly is this nonsense about? I can explain my situation with Hugh. It was just an act, nothing more, nothing less. Do you really have to go that far?"Hugh scored a deal with Ironstone Tech, so I gave him a yacht and played along with him! Why are you behaving like a child? I know you've been working hard for the past few years, but the company has been growing rapidly ever since H

Rebecca knew when she should let up, and she was doing exactly that. I understood that.Right before my eyes, Rebecca booked a table at a restaurant and invited me to join her for lunch. I didn't decline.After all, I was also curious about what exactly she was trying to do.When I left Rebecca's office, I bumped into Hugh.He seemed to be waiting for me on purpose. When he saw me coming out, he put on a gleeful smile. "Derek, you're back! I thought you went to work in retail for real. It's not nice to play hard-to-get, you know."When I heard that, I just said calmly, "You guys are not worth me pulling any tricks.""What do you mean by that?" Hugh asked.I explained, "I mean, I don't want her anymore. Do whatever you want."With that, I shoved him away. To my surprise, Hugh proceeded to fake an injury. He instantly took several steps backward and hit a corner of a table.Documents crashed onto the floor and scattered everywhere. Hugh lay on the floor with a pained expressio

Rebecca Shaw ended the call before I could explain anything. I was a little bewildered.The waiter came over to me and said sheepishly, "Sir, we're closed."I nodded and got up to leave. Holding the cake in my hand, I walked back home.I opened the cake box all alone. Scooping up a spoonful of cake, I proceeded to eat it. It was too sweet and wasn't delicious at all.When I unlocked my phone, I noticed that Hugh Somers had sent me a photo. The photo depicted him and Rebecca hugging each other in swimwear.Hugh's taunting voice message began to play. "Hey, Derek, Rebecca will be keeping me company tonight. Sorry!"I sent a short message in reply. "Whatever."Then, I blocked him.If we weren't working in the same company, I wouldn't have added him on WhatsApp at all, but now, he still had the gall to taunt me!However, not long after that, I was about to go to bed when Rebecca came back.When she saw me lying on the bed, she shouted angrily at me, "Derek Quinton!
