My Wife’s Betrayal Turned Me Into Someone UnforgivingChapter 1
When my childhood friend, who had never achieved anything, asked to use my wife’s connections for a promotion, I refused.
But while I was away on business, my wife pushed for his promotion, making him director and even tripled his salary.
When I returned after a year-long business trip, Aiden Garcia, with my wife supporting him, spoke to me in a very proud yet disrespectful manner. “Don’t think you bully me around just because you own the company. As long as Natalie is on my side, even if I want your seat, you’ll have to give it up.”
He suddenly splashed water in my face. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I slapped him right there and immediately fired him.
When my wife found out, she encouraged all the employees to hand in their resignations.
“Mason Hernandez, give the position back to Aiden right now, or we’ll all quit together.”

The large conference room fell into a heavy silence as everyone waited for Natalie Rodriguez’s orders.
All those people were the ones Natalie had personally hired and she had quietly replaced my people without letting me know.
When someone spoke up for him, Aiden became even more arrogant. He put one foot on the counter and stared at me with a confident look
“See? You think you can fire me? It’s not that easy.”
“As long as Natalie’s here, even if you want to fart, you’ll have to get her permission first.”
“To be honest, this company belongs to her. You’re just a puppet, with no real power.”
As soon as Aiden finished talking, he let out a proud laugh. He took out a cigarette and placed it between his lips and one of his men quickly leaned in to light it for him.
He grinned as he took a drag, blowing the smoke in my direction. The air grew hazy, but his arrogance still came through clearly.
“So what? Are you angry at me now?”
“But what can you do? Even if you are, you still have to keep it to yourself!”
Even though a sign outside clearly said no smoking, Aiden didn’t care. He lit up anyway, doing whatever he wanted.
When I stayed quiet, he looked even more pleased with himself. “Being a director still isn’t enough. The real power is in that chair you’re sitting in.”
It was clear he was hinting that he wanted to replace me and took my position.
I had no idea where his confidence came from, acting so boldly like he could do whatever he wanted.
