THE SOVEREIGN RISE OF THE ABANDONED HUSBAND
"Your kidney? Haha! Ethan, you really are an idiot. It was me who needed a kidney match, and your wife gave yours to me!"
For three long years, Ethan Sterling hid his true identity to pass a family test. He lived as a poor house servant, cooked all the meals, and even gave up his own kidney to save his father-in-law.
But it was all a giant trap.
His cruel wife, Chloe, only used him to save her rich secret lover.
When Ethan catches them together at a luxury resort, Chloe doesn't feel bad at all. She tells him, "Let's be realistic, Ethan. You're just a useless delivery guy. Your kidney is much better off inside a rich man."
Her family frames him for crimes, beats him up, and forces him to sign divorce papers, claiming he'll end up as a beggar.
They have no idea that the multi-billion-dollar Vanguard Group has just been bought in pure cash.
And the new, mysterious Supreme Chairman?
It's the exact same delivery boy they're trying to break.
As the top corporate directors bow down to Ethan, Chloe finally realizes the terrifying truth. Now broke and penniless, she falls to her knees and tries to crawl back to him, only to get one response:
"Let's be realistic, Chloe. You're just a useless, penniless woman. My billions are put to much better use inside my bank than on a gold-digger like you."

Chapter: Chapter 9The entire ballroom was completely frozen.Nobody dared to move. Old Mrs. Pierce sat stiffly chair, her jaw hanging open as she looked at the three powerful Vanguard directors bowing deeply to Ethan.Chloe felt a cold sweat cover her entire body. Her mind was spinning, desperately trying to find a way out of this nightmare. Supreme Chairman Sterling. The words rang in her head. Sterling—Ethan's own surname. For one terrifying second, the answer stood right in front of her. Then denial crushed it. No. Impossible. There were other Sterlings in the world. Ethan was a courier. He had to be. She looked at Ethan’s flawless suit, then at Sarah, and then at the bowing directors. Suddenly, her eyes locked onto Sarah, and a desperate realization gave her something else to believe."Wait a minute!" Chloe suddenly shrieked, pointing her finger wildly at Sarah. "Grandma! Mom! Don't let them trick you! This is all a massive, disgusting scam!"The head Vanguard director straightened his back and gla

Chapter: Chapter 8Marcus had his men circle around Ethan. The wealthy investors in the crowd stepped back even further, talking among themselves, eager to see the dramatic downfall of the Pierce family’s infamous "houseboy."Up on the stage, Richard leaned over the railing, wiping a fresh drop of blood from his lip. A nasty grin spread across his face. "Go on, Marcus! Hit him hard! Let’s see if that fancy charcoal suit can wash out blood stains!"Marcus, the security chief, took another step forward. He was a massive man, easily weighing over two hundred pounds, and he loved using his physical size to bully people. He glared down at Ethan, who was standing completely still in the center of the ring."I’m going to ask you one last time, loser," Marcus growled. "Get down on your knees and put your hands behind your head. If I have to force you down, I promise you won’t be walking out of this building on your own two feet."Ethan didn't move. He didn't even shift his weight. He looked at Marcus as if the

Chapter: The Rented SuitInside the plush back seat of the Maybach, the sound of the ballroom’s distant music was completely blocked out by the armored windows. Sarah looked down at her golden tablet, her eyes tracking the chaotic corporate signals coming from the Pierce building."Supreme Chairman," Sarah said, turning toward Ethan. "The Pierce family has all their security guards stationed at the primary doors. They are waiting for you to walk into their trap. Shall I have our elite security detail clear the entrance before you step out?"Ethan looked out the tinted window. His face was entirely calm. He adjusted the cuffs of his dark charcoal three-piece suit."No," Ethan replied quietly. "Stay in the car with the executive board. Let the Pierces think their trap worked. I want everyone in that room to see exactly how far they are willing to go before you join me.""Understood, sir," Sarah said, bowing her head with immense respect.Ethan opened the door himself and stepped out onto the red carpet. He walk

Chapter: Mechanical Wrath on the TarmacRichard smiled widely, He had spent the last three years treating Ethan like a personal footstool, frequently mocking his poverty and ordering him around like a dog. The idea of physically breaking him today was highly appealing."Don't worry, Grandma," Richard said, pulling his luxury car keys from his pocket. "I know exactly how to handle a spineless coward like Ethan. I'll have him kneeling on the ballroom floor before the champagne is poured."Ten minutes later, Richard was driving down the tarmac roads of the city in his modified Maserati. He dialed Ethan's number on his hands-free dashboard system, laughing out loud before the call even connected.The phone rang, Ethan replied"What do you want, Richard?"Richard scoffed loudly, blowing smoke toward the windshield. "Haha! Ethan, you pathetic piece of trash! I just left the executive boardroom, and Chloe told us absolutely everything. I have to admit, you really have some nerve! A dirty, penniless delivery boy actually has the au

Chapter: The Vanguard Apex Prize"To think we allowed that ungrateful stray to breathe our air for three whole years!" the matriarch hissed, her eyes scanning the room. "Victoria, this is the result of your daughter’s soft heart. If you had listened to me back then and married Chloe off to Julian Montgomery, our family wouldn't be facing this public humiliation today!"Victoria quickly stepped forward, smoothing down her designer dress, her face pale with anxiety. "Mom, please calm down. Chloe was young and naive, but she knows better now. Look at how she protected her purity! She never let that delivery boy touch her. And right now, Julian is recovering in a premium resort, waiting to merge his family's real estate assets with ours. This little setback with Ethan is nothing."Chloe, still kneeling on the floor, wiped away another stray tear. "Grandma, my mother is right. I only stayed with Ethan because I didn't want the public to think the Pierces break their promises. But yesterday, when he brought his filthy deli
