The crowd gasped.
“They have children?! Gerald is a monster!”
“T-That’s not true! You’re rich now? How?!” Gerald screamed, unable to believe it.
“And Beatrice,” I turned to the bride who was shaking with rage, “good luck with your wedding. But before you say I do, I have a small gift.”
I signaled my lawyer, who handed a folder to Gerald.
“Gerald, you’ve been bragging that you’re the CEO of Prime Builders, right? But while you were busy planning your wedding and chasing women, you didn’t notice that someone was quietly buying your company’s shares.”
Gerald opened the folder. He froze.
“I bought 60% of your company’s shares yesterday. I am now the majority shareholder. I am your new boss.”
I leaned in close.
“And my first order as the owner: YOU ARE FIRED. All your access to the company, the cars, and the condo under the company’s name is revoked. You won’t receive a single peso in separation pay due to mismanagement.”
“No! This can’t be!” Gerald screamed. He dropped to his knees.
“Angeline, let’s talk about this! Let’s get back together! We have children! I’ll leave Beatrice!”
