I Took Over My Best Friend’s Jewellery Business and Registered It as Mine

My best friend asked me to run her struggling jewellery business after she got a full-time job. I handled the sourcing, sales, customer messages and deliveries, growing it from a few sales into a profitable business. The problem started when she began demanding half of the profit despite doing none of the work. Resentment built up, and I eventually registered a new business in my own name and took control of the page. She accused me of stealing from her and called me out online. We later apologised to each other, but our friendship has never returned to what it was. Did I protect what I built, or did I betray my best friend?
