Chapter 1 Ridiculous Demand

Penulis: Gathering Clouds
Matthew said nothing at all, but his mother, Sarah, did. A shrill voice retorted, "What on earth are you talking about, girl?" There was a heavy accent in her voice. She was a country woman. "My son makes big money while you do nothing all day! You shop around all the time! Of course, you live on my son's money!

"It's been a year since you married my son, and you haven't even given me a grandkid! How dare you yell at my son! This is ridiculous! Unbelievable!"

Sarah wanted to insult me further, but Matthew hung up, and only beeps echoed in the air. A moment later, Matthew's text came in.

'Sorry, Wendy. Mom's getting older, and you know what it's like with country ladies. They're stuck in the 60s. Don't take it to heart. We can talk about it when I get back.'

I stared at the text. This was absurd. It was a joke. Sarah was blind to her own world. Her son rose from a no-name man to the head of a company in a single year.

I helped him out a lot, but she thought her son did it on his own. She thought he was unbelievably talented.

The secretary, Rochelle Wood, overheard the call. She was the woman with the Cartier ring. Now, her eyes were filled with scorn for me.

"You heard that, people! Mr. Grayson's mother doesn't even like her!" She turned to me. "And I heard you snuck your way into marriage by drugging Mr. Grayson. You're a slut who'd stop at nothing to get what you want! How dare you show your face around us!"

She scanned the people who were keeping me down.

"But I'm not unkind. For Mr. Grayson's sake, I'll give you a chance to repent. It's the company's celebration party today. If you apologize—and I mean, really apologize—to all the company's employees in the hall, we'll let this slide and let you go."

Since their boss and his mother hated me, everyone played along with the secretary's plans. And they insulted me further.

"Yeah! Mr. Grayson's mom sees Ms. Wood as her own daughter!"

Someone added, "If you haven't snuck into the spot and refused to leave, Ms. Wood would've been the one to marry Mr. Grayson!"

"Now apologize to us, or you're not leaving!"

Rochelle pressed her hand down on my head, forcing me to bow.

    I rolled down the window slowly. Though he was disheveled and crying like a child, I felt nothing. Indifferently, I said, "It doesn't matter what you want, Matthew. The divorce is already official."What little light he had left in his eyes was snuffed out, replaced by despair. Just then, I thought, 'Maybe I should give him another parting gift.'I took out a hefty document envelope from the passenger seat's glovebox and tossed it out the window. It landed beside his feet with a thud. "Take it. It's a divorce gift."A dazed Matthew picked up the envelope, and he opened it with a trembling hand. Inside was a stack of hi-def photos, and in the center of them was Rochelle.She was in a loose maternity suit, showing up in places like the hospital's OBGYN, upscale restaurants, and even the neighborhood.In every photo, there was a man who carefully held her, opened car doors for her, and even caressed her baby bump.That man was none other than Matthew's father.They were the picture

    The evidence was presented perfectly, and there were no holes in the logic. The court of public opinion had a big shift on its… opinion.The Internet was calling me a snake a day ago, but now it was singing a different tune.'That leech lived off his wife and had an affair with another woman? Unbelievable!''And that leech has a whole family doing the same thing! Ew, my lunch is coming up.''Rochelle's a fake bitch! I can't believe she said all that when she's the mistress! The audacity!''Well, I think Ms. Jefferson did a great job! You should cut trash out sooner than later!'An insider exposed yet another scandal on an anonymous forum. The picture showed Matthew's mother asking the Internet for some alternative medicine that could grant her a grandkid.The title read, 'My son has azoospermia. I need some alt med so he can give me a grandson.'There were even vague pictures of her chat history. The panicked Sarah asked someone if azoospermia was untreatable.That piece of in

    I slowed down and let things simmer. "After all, you were there when I took this very report. You begged me, crying and bawling, to keep this a secret, all so your son's ego wouldn't be ruined. Did you forget that?"Sarah turned a shade of blotchy pink. She jabbed a shaking finger at me and shrieked, "That's bullshit! That was some shady hospital you found! That report is all fake! You just want to ruin my son! Ms. Wood got pregnant with his child easily! That's all the evidence we need!""Really?" I arched my eyebrow and looked at Rochelle's baby bump. She was pushing it out further. "And what makes you think her baby is Matthew's?"Matthew's head jerked up. His eyes were glued to Rochelle, carrying his last sliver of hope. "Tell me she's lying, Rochelle. Tell me!"Rochelle's eyes darted away. She could not meet Matthew's eyes. "Don't listen to that bitch, Matthew! She's trying to drive us apart! She's jealous of me! Of my baby! Of course you're the father!"I chortled, amuse

    I looked at the screen. It read, 'Wendy Jefferson, shares held: 80.46%.'"Sorry to disappoint, but I do control the absolute majority of the shares." I turned my eyes to the ghostly pale Matthew, and I sneered. "I can't believe you thought you could impeach me, Matthew. You and what army? Your two-percent share?"Matthew said, "No, this is impossible! You only had three percent! You gave me two! You can't have more than 80%! That's impossible!" Matthew pointed at the screen with a trembling finger. "And there are more than twenty of us here! They can't have less than 20% in total!"Rochelle shared his gesture. She screamed, "This is fake! Don't trust her, people! She's trying to steal the company for herself!"Someone flung the doors open. The unkind Sarah and her quiet husband barged in. Sarah flailed her arms and charged right at me as she screamed, "You barren bitch! Rochelle's pregnant with my grandchild! Fuck off and make way for her!"For once, her husband spoke up. "Yeah!

    A momentary pause later, he turned the room's attention to me. "And that someone is my wife, Wendy Jefferson! Not only did she throw a tantrum at the company's celebration party, she also, before the public eye, pushed and harmed a pregnant employee, Rochelle Wood! To call her actions dastardly is an understatement!"He continued, "It has affected the public negatively and shaken the reputation of the company, not to mention the bottom line of the shareholders! As president of the company, on behalf of a majority of the shareholders, I hereby propose that we strip Wendy Jefferson of all her shares and company title, effective immediately!"Most of the shareholders agreed right away."Mr. Grayson's right! That is the right move!""Wendy must take up responsibility for her behavior. She cannot stay, lest she hurts the company more!"Rochelle couldn't hold back her greed anymore. "Wendy is a slut who schemed and plotted her way into a marriage by sleeping with Mr. Grayson! She's a ba
