I was working overtime at the mall on New Year's Eve, only to witness my boyfriend proposing to the broke student, whose scholarship was funded by my family, on the biggest screen in the place. I was about to step forward and confront him when she, with tears in her eyes, accepted the proposal. "Being confessed to in my family’s own estate… is so romantic and meaningful. Thank you for loving me so wholeheartedly for five years." As soon as those words left her mouth, the two embraced, sharing a deep kiss amidst the cheering crowd. They even won the "Best Couple" award for the night. I didn’t cry or make a scene. Instead, I volunteered to present them with their prize. I couldn’t wait to see what fate had in store for two pieces of trash standing together.

Good Riddance! Chapter 8
A few days later, our company’s legal team came rushing to me. “Miss Shirley, Joel is suing us.”I guess Joel hadn’t expected me to actually take things that far, and out of sheer humiliation and anger, he turned around and sued A51 Mall. He claimed that the whole proposal was a publicity stunt and demanded compensation of a million dollars!It was unbelievable. The whole situation left people speechless, and netizens mocked him mercilessly."Wow, this guy’s really got no shame. Is he that broke after breaking up with the boss's daughter?""I’ve seen shameless people before, but this is a whole new level!"It seemed like Joel had hit rock bottom. He even started live-streaming, accusing me of being promiscuous and playing with his feelings, but I wasn’t going to let that slide. I posted screenshots of bank transfers I’d made to him over the years, along with our chat logs, exposing his true colors as a scumbag. To make matters worse for him, he was now facing defamation charges,
Good Riddance! Chapter 7
A few days after the New Year’s Eve proposal at A51 Mall, the event went viral. Videos and pictures flooded every social media platform, and the comment sections exploded with excitement."Oh my!""A diamond as big as a bird’s egg, a hundred thousand dollar screen, and fireworks lighting up the sky? What kind of fairy tale romance is this? A51 Mall really knows how to do romance right!""Ladies, tag your man. He needs to take notes!"I chuckled bitterly as I scrolled through the comments. If only they knew that the stars of this “proposal of the century” were a cheating scumbag and a rich girl wannabe, I wonder what they’d think then.That said, the buzz definitely brought a ton of foot traffic to the mall. From that day onward, all the screens for proposal displays were fully booked.Watching the revenue soar, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. However, as people said, good things wouldn’t last.It wasn’t long before some sharp-eyed netizens noticed something was off."Wai
Good Riddance! Chapter 6
Hearing those words, my dad angrily shoved her hand away, his face clouded with fury. I could tell he was absolutely livid.He pointed at Clarice, his voice booming. “Shirley got treated like this in my company, and you’re saying to let it go? What kind of mother are you?”“Do you even remember what you said when you married me? You promised to treat Shirley as if she were your own daughter!”He turned his face away, refusing to look at Clarice for another second, and shouted, “I won’t let this slide! Get those two out of our family now!”The police arrived shortly after and took away Tim and Esther, who were both crying and wailing.Clarice, on the verge of hysteria, tried to rush forward and stop them, but my dad grabbed her and threw her aside, his voice full of disgust. “Clarice, have you lost your mind?”At that moment, I heard Esther’s gut-wrenching scream, “Mom! Mom, help me!”I froze. Mom? Clarice?A sharp ringing filled my head as if something had just exploded inside

“Mr. Jones?" The executives froze, dropping the gift baskets they were holding. "But you’re supposed to be Mr. Jones!"I crossed my arms and smiled. "A51 is just one of the smallest, most unremarkable projects in my family’s portfolio. Every time my dad sends someone over to deliver documents or sign paperwork, it’s always the butler, Tim Jones."Feigning surprise, I added, "What? Don’t tell me you all thought he was the actual Mr. Jones?""Your dad?" Joel recoiled as if he’d been struck by lightning. He let go of Esther’s hand and hurried over to me. "Shirley… how can he be Mr. Jones? And how is your dad him?"I couldn’t help but laugh. "Joel, I told you before, I took my mom’s last name. I was actually planning to come clean after New Year’s and bring you home for the holidays. But… too bad, you missed your chance."Esther staggered, nearly falling off the bed as she whispered weakly, "Dad… how can this be happening?"At that moment, Tim roughly yanked her off the bed, barkin

I pointed at Esther, lying on the bed, and let out a mocking laugh. “Spread rumors? How could I? Isn’t this the rich heiress of A51 Mall?”At my words, my dad’s face darkened. His gaze shifted between Esther and her father—Tim Jones, our family’s butler for over a decade.The tension in the air was thick. A moment later, a group of people burst into the room. I recognized them—they were the senior executives from the mall’s corporate office.There had been a big company shake-up at the start of the year, with a lot of new hires. It wasn’t surprising they didn’t know who my dad was.The moment they saw Tim, they immediately began fawning over him, nodding and bowing while handing over expensive gifts. “Mr. Jones! Is Miss Esther alright?”“This was a terrible oversight on our part! We’ll make sure the responsible employees are dealt with!”Joel grabbed me roughly, pulling me over to him. “It was her, one of your employees! She was jealous of Esther, so she stole my car, and Esther

Esther, with tears streaming down her face, said in a trembling voice, "Shirley, I know you’re proud, and I get that everyone has their secrets, but… But wasn’t Joel your boyfriend? Why couldn’t you just tell him?"I let out a cold laugh, knowing that explaining anything to them would be a waste of time. "Esther, did your dad, who’s worked as our family’s butler for so many years, ever tell you one thing? My dad is the most doting father you’ll ever meet. If he finds out about this, what do you think would happen?"Esther’s face paled as she looked nervously at Joel. “It’s not like that, Joel! Shirley is probably just trying to find a way out…”Tears started rolling down her cheeks again. "It’s fine… If it makes her feel better, let her have it."Joel immediately wrapped her in his arms, protective as ever. "She’s always been this shallow. Just ignore her."I was too tired to deal with either of them, so I squatted down and started searching the grass for the ring. That ring was w

The moment Joel heard my voice, he whipped around, his face going pale. He stumbled back a few steps in shock. "Shirley? What are you doing here?"Before I could answer, he frowned, his tone laced with accusation. “I told you I was busy tonight, and you followed me?”He paused, his voice growing harsher. “Do you even realize how suffocating you are when you do things like this?”I almost laughed at the absurdity. I pointed to the mall around us, telling him, “You’ve got it wrong. I work here.”Just a few days ago, I saw Esther here in the mall. I was busy setting up the event decorations, so there was no way she didn’t know I was an employee.Yet, she continued her innocent act, blinking in surprise. "Shirley, did you go through Joel’s phone to find out he’d be here tonight?"Joel’s face twisted further in frustration, and Esther added, “Oh, and don’t overthink tonight, okay? I was the one who asked Joel to do this. It’s just a little wish of mine. You’re always so understand
Good Riddance! Chapter 1
I stared at the screen in a daze, watching Joel Whitaker, all suited up. My coworker elbowed me and whispered excitedly, "Wow, this guy really went all out! Renting this screen for New Year’s Eve? The price for just half an hour is at least a hundred grand!"“I heard he reserved this spot with the marketing team a month ago. Talk about dedication!”However, I found it all hard to believe. He told me he was going out of town for a business trip tonight and wouldn’t be back until next month. Yet, here he was, standing in front of my family-funded scholarship student, Esther Jones, looking at her with the kind of affection you’d expect from a lovesick puppy.I’d told Joel before that I worked at a shopping mall, but the funny thing was, he never asked which one. I guess he just didn’t care enough to know.With just five minutes left before midnight, the countdown to the new year, Joel suddenly dropped to one knee on the big screen. He held out a massive diamond ring and shouted with
