00:00I was quite satisfied with my arranged marriage husband. He was always well-behaved. He was a nice man.
00:05I walked into the private dining room that evening. A young lady was offering Arthur a seared scallop from her
00:10fork.
00:10I smiled. I greeted the executives at the table. I glanced at the girl. She didn't bother to give up
00:16her seat.
00:16The sales director shot her a sharp look.
00:18This is Mrs. Vant, our CEO's wife.
00:21Hello, Mrs. Vant. I'm Chloe, the new executive secretary. It's so nice to meet you.
00:25I gave her a polite, faint smile. I said nothing. I took the nearest available seat.
00:29I made small talk with the table. My eyes stayed on Arthur and Chloe across from me.
00:33I watched Arthur casually chew the scallop. Then I watched Chloe pick up half a grilled lobster.
00:38She stared at it with a helpless expression, then shot Arthur a pleading look.
00:41Arthur frowned slightly. He took the lobster from her plate, peeled it with his bare hands,
00:45then placed the meat back onto her plate. I narrowed my eyes. I lowered my head and texted my housekeeper,
00:51Martha. Mrs. Vant, I'm just so jealous of how lucky you are. To marry someone as successful as Mr. Vant,
00:56you get to just stay home and be a loving wife. It must be wonderful. Not like the rest of
01:00us who
01:01have to work so hard every day just to get by. I looked up. You really are new. You have
01:06absolutely
01:06no manners. Cut the nonsense. You think Mrs. Vant is just a housewife? We call her Mrs. Vant here as
01:11a courtesy to her husband. But outside this room, she's Miss Sterling, CEO of the Sterling Group.
01:17I'm so sorry, Mrs. Vant. I just speak my mind. Please don't hold it against me.
01:24I just can't help feeling a little sorry for Mr. Vant, watching you spend so lavishly.
01:30He sacrificed so much to build Vant's corporation into what it is now.
01:35The Vant's are a power cup couple from two legendary families. She's the only heir to this
01:41Sterling Group. Apologize to her. Right now.
01:45Chloe's face went pale. She bit her lip. Her large eyes filled with tear as she looked
01:50helplessly at Arthur.
01:53Apologize to my wife. From now on, watch your mouth and know your place. If you don't know
01:58something, ask. If you don't understand, learn. I'm sorry, Mrs. Vant. I have another engagement.
02:03I shall take my leave. Excuse me.
02:05My other event ended at 10 p.m.
02:08Arthur was already waiting for me at the parking garage. He opened the car door as usual.
02:11We chatted casually on the drive home. The atmosphere was mild. Once we got home,
02:15Arthur went to shower. When he stepped out, 10 massive boiled lobsters were laid out on the
02:19dining table. I smiled warmly at his confused expression.
02:23Darling, peel them for me.
02:26Arthur looked stunned.
02:27Didn't you not eat well at dinner? You can't possibly finish all this.
02:30He turned to call Martha to clean it up. I stopped him.
02:33I want you to peel them for me. With your own hands.
02:38Natalie, you know I'm a germaphobe.
02:40I smile gently.
02:41Are you? Because tonight, you seemed perfectly fine getting your hands dirty, peeling a lobster
02:47for your new young assistant.
02:49So you're jealous over that?
02:53It's rare to see you jealous. I thought Mrs. Vant was always above it all.
02:59She's just a new intern. Fresh out of college. She has no filter because she's young. If it
03:05bothers you, I promise it won't happen again.
03:07He denied so fast. I looked up at his handsome face. We'd been married three years. In his
03:12thirties, time hadn't aged him. Only refined his quiet dominance. I reached up and gently
03:17touched his cheek.
03:20Arthur, do you know why I picked you over every other eligible heir?
03:24You're quiet. Decent. Keep to yourself. Your parents told me you don't like unnecessary
03:30physical contact with strangers. That you hate people invading your space. Coincidentally,
03:36so am I. Our marriage is a strategic arrangement between our families. We've been fine these
03:42three years. I want us to keep this clean and steady for both our sakes. Don't disappoint
03:48me.
03:52Peel all these lobsters.
04:03I didn't check what time Arthur finally came to bed. I did my skincare routine and went
04:08to sleep. When I woke up the next morning, the dining table was full of neatly peeled
04:12lobster. Arthur had already left for work. Martha stood quietly to the side.
04:18Martha, you've got a big family to feed, don't you? Take all this home with you. My husband
04:21peeled it himself. It's perfectly clean. Enjoy.
04:25After that day, Arthur and I went back to normal. That little unpleasantness was just
04:29a minor blip, harmless and soon forgotten. If anything, he treated me even better than
04:33before. I had no interest in babysitting him or tracking which women he spoke to. As the
04:38head of the Sterling Empire, I had a company to run. Then, one month later, he pulled up
04:42to take me to a Vance family dinner. The car window rolled down. Chloe sat in the passenger
04:46seat, looking faintly smug. I frowned.
04:49Hello, Mrs. Vance. You look stunning today.
04:53Chloe smiled brightly. Her pretty face was innocent and naive. She acted as if she couldn't
04:58sense my displeasure at all. Arthur also looked completely unfazed, as if nothing was wrong.
05:03My expression got cold.
05:06Get out.
05:07Chloe's smile froze.
05:09Mrs. Vance. Mr. Vance was just dropping me off on his way. I get terribly carsick.
05:14That's why I'm in the front seat. She shot Arthur a desperate, pleading look. Arthur
05:19looked at me helplessly. Knowing my temper, he didn't try to defend her. I repeated it,
05:23my voice colder.
05:25Get out.
05:31Let my wife sit.
05:32Chloe bit her lip and climbed out reluctantly. As she reached to open the rear door, I cut
05:37her off.
05:39Who said you could get back in?
05:41Chloe froze. I took a slow breath.
05:45Can't you even afford an Uber? Things must be tough.
05:49I'll cover your fare. Go home. Be safe.
05:52Arthur watched awkwardly and tried to intervene.
05:54Arthur, this is your fault. If your employee's gaze can't even afford a cab and have to hitch
05:58a ride with the CEO, you're failing as a leader.
06:02Starting tomorrow, transport dippings for all mid-level and above staff at Vance Corp and
06:06Sterling Group go up 10%. Charge it to Sterling accounts.
06:08Chloe's eyes reddened, tears swirling.
06:12Mrs. Vance, I may be poor, but I won't let anyone trample on me. What gives you the right
06:19to insult my dignity with your money and status?
06:22I laughed.
06:24You're so broke you have to beg your married boss for a ride, yet paying for your cab insults
06:28your dignity? Does your dignity only stay intact if the CEO drives you home himself?
06:32That's some expensive dignity.
06:34In just the two minutes you've delayed us, Arthur and I could have made millions. If
06:39he wastes more time detouring to your place, how will you compensate us for the loss? With
06:45your dignity?
06:46I ignored her face, got into the car, and slammed the door. Arthur silently started the car.
06:52The silence in the car was heavy. I wasn't going to be the first one to burn. Arthur cleared
06:57his throat.
06:57Her apartment isn't far from my parents' estate. It really wasn't out of the way. There was
07:00no need to.
07:05Arthur, I told you. I like you because you're decent. You're not the only one who values
07:10cleanliness. I require boundaries. First, you peeled a lobster for another woman. I let
07:15it slide with a warning. Today, you let her sit in my seat and adjusted it for her. I give
07:20everyone in my life exactly three chances. Today was your second. My demands aren't high. Keep
07:25a professional, appropriate distance from other women. It isn't that hard.
07:36Arthur, don't disappoint me.
07:38He didn't say another word. The car fell into a suffocating silence. I didn't care
07:43if he was upset. I've never tiptoed around anyone.
07:45The car pulled into the Vance estate. When we got out, I linked my arm through Arthur's
07:50like nothing was wrong.
07:51You know our marriage isn't just about us. Smile if you don't want our stocks crashing
07:56tomorrow. We're adults. Don't act like a child. Understood?
08:01I smiled brightly for the staff. Natalie.
08:07Natalie, you get more beautiful every time I see you. Come, sit next to me.
08:10Arthur sat on my other side. The Vance family was big and wealthy. The dining room was lively.
08:16Throughout dinner, old Mrs. Vance chatted affectionately with me and told the servers to give me the
08:22best dishes. That joint venture between our companies is going wonderfully. You're truly
08:27brilliant, Natalie. We're family, Mother. It's our shared success. What's wrong with you? Not a word,
08:33not even tending to your wife. Arthur's smile was tight. You two were so caught up in conversation,
08:39I didn't want to interrupt. I heard you hired a new executive assistant. She seems rather out of
08:45line. I already called HR and had her fired. Just a junior intern with no skill or sense. I gave
08:53her
08:53three months separation and told her to find another job. Arthur slammed his fork down. Mother, I'm the CEO
09:00now. If you fire my staff, you go through me. Okay? Old Mrs. Vance calmly placed a shrimp on my
09:07plate.
09:07The Vance-Sterling alliance is everything. You inherited the company over your brothers
09:10because you were rational and saw the bigger picture. Don't throw away your greatest advantage.
09:15As soon as we got back to our place, Arthur leaned against the doorway and watched me kick off my
09:20heels.
09:23Natalie, we need to talk. I walked to wash my hands.
09:28The light cast shadows across his face. Did you really have to drag mother into our marriage?
09:34I paused, dried my hands on a towel, and looked at him. You think I complained to your mother?
09:40His eyes were dark. In all the years I'd known him, he had never looked at me with such coldness.
09:45Didn't you? Natalie, I put up with your spoiled act, but you've targeted Chloe again and again.
09:50You have no empathy. Your jealousy is out of control. I narrowed my eyes studying the
09:56man I'd lived with for years. I realized that my judgment hadn't always been perfect.
10:00This time you crossed the line. You ran to mother and made her fire my employee. You know how much
10:07I hate people interfering with my company. Are you finished? Are you mad because mother challenged
10:12your fragile authority? Or because your precious assistant lost her job and you feel sorry for her?
10:18My cold tone pushed him over the edge. You really think you've done nothing wrong?
10:23What did I do wrong? Was I wrong to not stay quiet while you cross lines with your subordinate?
10:29Was I wrong to not stop your mother? Or was I wrong not to divorce you the second you peeled
10:34that
10:35lobster for her? Arthur's pupils shrank sharply. I took two steps back, looked him up and down,
10:40and shook my head in disappointment. Arthur, I told you, everyone gets three strikes. You just used your third.
10:47No one can stand your arrogance! The argument ended in disaster. Furious and humiliated,
10:53Arthur stormed out that night, starting a cold war. I didn't have time or energy for his games.
10:57Sterling Group was in the middle of a huge overseas expansion, and I was swamped with work.
11:02A week later, I saw the headlines. Arthur had attended a high-profile charity gala,
11:06with Chloe as his date. The photos were perfect. A handsome billionaire and a beautiful young woman
11:11in a custom gown. A diamond necklace glowing around her neck. I stared at the photos for about 10 seconds.
11:16Then I nodded, picked up the phone, and told my secretary to hire the best legal team in the
11:21country. A divorce between our families involved billions in assets. The clauses had to be precise,
11:26airtight and final. While I was reviewing the drafts with my lawyers, old Mrs. Vance called.
11:35Nathalie, what's all that in the newspaper? Did you and Arthur fight?
11:38Her voice was tight with panic. You could call it that. I don't know the gala details,
11:42but it seems Arthur has shown his hand. Nathalie, he's completely lost his mind!
11:46Don't worry, I'll make him apologize properly. That won't be necessary,
11:51old Mrs. Vance. I'm already drafting divorce papers. Once finalized, I'll send them to the estate.
11:56You and Arthur can review them and inform my lawyers if you plan to contest anything.
11:59She froze. Then she cried out,
12:01You can't do that! I stayed silent, listening to her ragged breathing.
12:05Nathalie, Arthur is in the wrong, but this marriage affects two empires. You can't throw
12:11it away over a mistake! I smiled. Old Mrs. Vance, this is no small error. I gave Arthur three
12:17chances. He wasted them all. I won't bend my rules for him. Nathalie, a sudden divorce will
12:21crash both companies' stocks. Arthur's father was a playboy too. He had mistresses.
12:26All the men in our circle are like this. As long as you're the official Mrs. Vance,
12:30what does some girl matter? A corporate marriage isn't a game. You can't be reckless.
12:35Even if you don't care about Vance Corp, what about Sterling Group? How will you explain this to your
12:39father? Old Mrs. Vance. When you step out, people call you Old Mrs. Vance out of respect for your
12:45husband. When I step out, they call me Miss Sterling. You chose to take your husband's name and live as
12:50the Vance matriarch. That's your choice, not mine. The day I took over Sterling Group, I became the
12:55one in charge. I answered to no one. As for the risks and financial fallout of my decision,
13:00I already have countermeasures. You don't need to worry. I hung up. The papers were ready. I took
13:05the folder and had my driver take me straight to Vance Corp headquarters. I walked smoothly onto the
13:11executive floor. Employees bowed and greeted me. No one dared block my way. I headed straight for Arthur's
13:16office and pushed the door open. Arthur was at his desk, reviewing a contract. And right outside
13:21his inner office, sat Chloe, secretly taking photos of him. They both looked up when I entered. A flash
13:26of smug triumph crossed Arthur's face. What are you doing here? Well, look who it is, Mrs. Vance.
13:31It's extremely rude to burge in without knocking. As Mr. Vance's executive assistant, I must announce
13:36you before you... Before she finished, I lifted two fingers. Two large men in sharp black suits
13:40stepped out behind me. She's loud. Shut her up. One guard clamped a gloved hand over her mouth.
13:47What the hell are you doing? I strolled casually toward his desk, smiling calmly. Don't panic.
13:52I'm here on business. A random obstacle blocked my way, so I handled it. Review the terms. If you have
13:58objections, have your lawyers call mine. Arthur's eyes fell on the bold words stamped on the cover.
14:03Divorce agreement. Staring at me in utter shock. You want a divorce? I do. Just because I took
14:10Chloe to a gala? Natalie, when will you stop back like a spoiled brat? I told you.
14:14Three strikes. The gala was strike four. I keep my promises. I'm not signing this. Arthur tore the
14:20divorce papers in. This marriage is too important to throw away over over a tantrum. You're jealous and
14:25cold. You're a terrible wife. The sound of my hand across his jaw echoed through the huge office. Arthur,
14:32did your little assistant inflate your ego so much that you forgot who you're talking to?
14:37The Mad Men era is long over. Why are you still expecting me to play the 1960s housewife?
14:42A good wife? You mean someone like your mother, who lets her husband cheat while she defends a
14:47worthless title to save face? I don't know how to be that woman. I am the sole heir of the
14:51Sterling Empire.
14:52I was raised to rule, not serve. My net worth is in the tens of billions. I hold absolute power.
14:59What on earth made you delusional enough to think I would ever submit to you?
15:03Chloe and I didn't do anything. I never cheated. I just wanted to teach you a lesson. I wanted you
15:07to
15:07be softer, more obedient. Our marriage was fine. Every couple fights. How can you throw divorce
15:12around so lightly? First, I don't care if you slept with her. The second you paraded her in front of
15:17the press and let the media humiliate me, you sealed your fate. Second, calling me a good wife
15:22is no compliment. I have no wish to be molded into one. I am who I am. I don't need
15:26a title to define
15:27me. Third, don't flatter yourself. I liked you because you were clean and respected boundaries.
15:31Now you're dirty, so I'm discarding you. I don't break my rules for anyone. Don't ever think you're the
15:35exception. Lastly, it's just a divorce. I'm fully prepared to handle the fallout on my end.
15:42Whatever financial damage it costs you is no longer my concern.
15:46I turned and walked out. My bodyguards replaced Chloe. She collapsed onto the carpet,
15:51trembling, gasping for air. As I walked past, she suddenly snapped her head up.
15:56Natalie Sterling, you think you're so great? You act so high and mighty, but you're just lucky.
16:01Born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Without your father's money, you're nothing. You have no
16:07right to look down on me. I stopped.
16:10Little girl, being born into a wealthy family is a skill in itself. My family built a business
16:15empire with generations of hard work, which gave me my current status, and I inherited this legacy,
16:21doubled our profits, and became a world-famous CEO. I don't have to chase after married men,
16:26nor do I have to use tricks to rely on other women. Your jealousy is pitiful and completely useless.
16:33I walked to the elevator without a backward glance. News of our upcoming divorce swept the internet.
16:38Gossip spread like wildfire. A few older Sterling Group board members worried about the stock drop,
16:43but none dared to challenge me, so they kept quiet. Arthur refused to sign the papers. I heard he fired
16:48Chloe again. This time, she ran out of the Vance building sobbing hysterically, and not one employee
16:53went to comfort her. Old Mrs. Vance desperately tried to arrange meetings with me. My office
16:57turned every request down. I was busy. The Sterling Group's long-awaited new product launch was only
17:02days away. I had no time for people no longer relevant to my life. I stopped. Just as I was
17:08wrapping up, the auditorium doors burst open. A crowd of uninvited paparazzi flooded the aisles.
17:14Cameras rolled. Flash bulbs exploded. Security rushed to stop them, but a fragile figure pushed through
17:20to the front. Chloe. She wore a simple white dress, no makeup. Her eyes were red and swollen. She looked
17:26utterly broken, like a victim. She stepped right to the edge of the stage and dropped to her knees.
17:31CEO Sterling, I'm begging you, please leave me alone. Mr. Vance and I didn't do anything wrong.
17:36I was only his assistant. You can't use your money and power to make him fire me and ruin my
17:41life.
17:41I'm just an ordinary girl, but I have dignity too. You can't crush me just because you're rich.
17:46Paparazzi ate it up. Reporters pulled out their phones and went live for millions of viewers.
17:51Security moved toward the stage. I held up a hand. It's fine. Let her talk.
17:56You were born with everything. I fought my way out of a small town just to get a job in
18:02this company.
18:03With one word, you destroyed years of my hard work. It's not fair. I looked down at her from the
18:09podium.
18:10Are you done?
18:12Chloe, since you brought these accusations out in public, I'll answer them in public.
18:17First, I know full well nothing physical happened between you and my soon-to-be ex-husband.
18:21You just love overstepping lines with married men. Sitting in my seat in his car?
18:24Letting my husband peel lobster for you? Hanging on his arm at blacked-out events?
18:28Second, you were fired from Vance Corporation twice. The first time by Arthur's mother,
18:32old Mrs. Vance, because she found your motives repulting. The second time by Arthur himself,
18:35because he knew you helped destroy his marriage. I'm CEO of Sterling Group. I never touched Vance HR.
18:40You're blaming the wrong person. That's a lie. You just hate me. You're jealous I got to work so
18:44close to Arthur. You turned his family against me. Jealous? Of you? Your entire outfit today costs less
18:54than my weekly hair and makeup. Exactly what am I supposed to be jealous of? That you're an assistant
18:59fetching coffee while I run a billion dollar empire? The crowd burst out laughing. A female reporter in the
19:05front row actually snorted. Tears of real humiliation spilled down Chloe's cheeks. Chloe, your foundation
19:15isn't waterproof. The whole natural no makeup look isn't really landing today. Chloe wiped at her face
19:21frantically, realizing her victim act was ruined. So what if you're rich? If I had your family, Arthur
19:27would have picked me over an old hag like you. Maybe, because right now you have nothing to offer but
19:33your fleeting youth. Like that's all a woman is worth. But let me remind you something. When I was
19:39your age, I took over a failing empire, cleaned out the board, and took full control of the market. Now
19:44I'm 10 years older than you. My youth might be fading, but I have wealth, power, and respect beyond
19:50anything you can imagine. When you reach my age and your youth is gone, what will you have left?
19:57You just got lucky! You walk all over normal people and think you're some kind of god? Just wait and
20:01see!
20:02Shut up! Who do you think you are, running your mouth like some ignorant brat? Under Mrs. Sterling's
20:07leadership, creating even tens of thousands of jobs, the charities we've given thousands of children
20:10in education, our employees get some of the best pay and benefits in the industry. Do you really think
20:15Mrs. Sterling wastes her time on petty, pathetic drama like you? I waved him off and turned around.
20:21You think you've won? Millions are watching this livestream right now. People hate greedy elites
20:26and stand with regular workers. You're gonna get torn apart online. Really? Why don't you check the
20:31comments? My PR team had already sent me the updates through my earbuds. The livestream was top trending.
20:39People were eating up the drum, and public opinion, which had first favored the poor working
20:43earth, had flipped completely. Suddenly, the back doors burst open again. Arthur,
20:49I hadn't seen him in this. He looked terrible.
20:53Are you out of your mind? What are you doing? Arthur, I knew it. I knew you still cared about
20:58me.
21:01Natalie, can you please forgive me? I never wanted a divorce. I swear I never slept with her. I only
21:07took her to the gala to put you in your place. I didn't think you'd go this far. I'm sorry.
21:11I'll never
21:11talk to her again. Let's just call off the divorce, please. No, I don't accept excuses. The second you
21:16tried to humiliate me to feel in control, our marriage was over. Why are you ending
21:20everything over one mistake? We were happy before this. Because it wasn't a mistake. It showed me
21:25that you don't respect your partner. You don't see me as your equal. You saw me as something to be
21:29tamed and controlled. Sign the papers, Arthur. Have a good night.
21:33A week later, Arthur's lawyers delivered the signed divorce papers. The chaotic press conference
21:39didn't hurt Sterling Group's launch at all. Clips of my speech went viral across every platform
21:45instead. The public picked through the whole story, dragging Chloe nonstop as a homewrecker
21:51and Arthur for his toxic ego. I was widely praised for walking away without hesitation.
21:57Chloe was fully blacklisted. Not one respectable company in the city would hire her,
22:03with no options and no money left. She packed her bags and slunk back to her hometown. As for Arthur,
22:10the fallout was catastrophic. The PR disaster, plus Vance Corp cutting ties with the Sterling Empire,
22:16sent Vance stocks plummeting. The board rebelled. Old Mrs. Vance couldn't save him. The family stripped
22:23him of his CEO position and his inheritance. In a family that big, there was always another brother
22:29waiting in the wings. I walked to the floor to ceiling windows of my penthouse office and stared
22:34out at the glittering skyline. A skyline I owned a piece of. I breathed in slowly. A woman should never
22:41be tamed or controlled in a marriage. Luckily, I learned that lesson a long time ago.
22:46I was a bit to a priest but I was a bit to say to her boss. I was a
22:46bit to say to her father.
22:46The black door was a little boy. I was a man who was a beast. It was a true believer.
