My Fiancé Spent My Millions on His Mistress, So I Ruined Him

Julian Reed is celebrated as a once-in-a-generation genius, a man who vowed never to marry until his research broke through. Harper Vance, sole heir to Vance Enterprises, waited five years and poured her mother's inheritance and her family's connections into his failing experiments. Then she overheard him in his office, gently comforting his assistant, Chloe Bennett: marrying Harper is only a duty, and his heart has always belonged to Chloe.

When a rival publishes the breakthrough Julian was meant to claim, the dedication names only his investor, Harper Vance. Julian blames faulty equipment and asks her father for the next phase of funding, while Chloe wears a diamond Cartier bracelet bought with Harper's own money. Harper smiles, promises more funding than ever, and walks away.

Instead she calls a young researcher named Ethan Cross, approves his funding within two hours, and demands results in a month. Then she orders her assistant to trace Julian's suspicious expenses and prepares a lawsuit, determined that those who con her will pay.
