I Swiped Three Million from a CEO, and Now He’s Cornered Me at Work with Our Baby

In her third year of college, Xia Wanyi was at the end of her rope.

She flirted online with a man whose identity she didn't know and swindled him out of three million.

Then she faked her death and disappeared.

Five years later, she returned with a four-and-a-half-year-old little troublemaker in tow and landed a job as a top analyst at a leading venture capital firm on her own merits.

On the new CEO's first day, the moment the conference room door opened, Xia Wanyi's ramrod-straight back stiffened.

How could it be him?

Huo Ci, the controlling force behind the Huo Group, was known throughout the industry as the cold-faced King of Hell.

Seated at the head of the table, he swept his gaze over her from behind silver-rimmed glasses. The corner of his mouth slowly curled into a dangerously suggestive smile.

Xia Wanyi: ...I'm out. I quit.

But it was too late.

She thought her disguise was flawless, until one late night of overtime, Huo Ci pinned her against the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office. His long fingers gripped her chin, his voice low as the dark of night:

"Ms. Xia, how are you planning to settle the score from five years ago?"

"With yourself, or with that little brat who looks exactly like me?"

Xia Wanyi kept a straight face. "Mr. Huo, you've got the wrong person."

Huo Ci smiled, though there was no warmth in his eyes. "Then we can take our time figuring it out."

Before long, the whole company knew: Was it true that Mr. Huo avoided women? No. Was it true that he was impartial and merciless? No. Was it true that he was aloof and self-controlled? Even less so.

The way he pursued his wife showed he had absolutely no shame.

And the four-and-a-half-year-old cutie everyone online was watching planted his hands on his hips and scolded a crowd of suited professionals:

"Everybody, move! That's my mom! Anyone who dares bully her, my dad, no, I don't have a dad!"
