The Heiress He Used Came Back for Revenge

Half the company already bought it—Vera had made sure of that. She'd spent the last few days telling anyone who'd listen that she was the one who landed the deal.

“Bea, I know you're Mr. Henson's girlfriend, but the Dickerson Group contract? That was mine. I'm the one who closed it.”

“Everyone in this company knows that order was my work. How can you just swoop in and take it from me?”

Vera's voice trembled with rehearsed hurt.

Felix turned to me, his face cold.：“Beulah, that deal was Vera's. Why are you stealing business from your own subordinate?”

“You're in the wrong here.”

The words landed, and I laughed out loud.

Felix really thought this would make me back down?

I looked at him, and all I felt was disappointment.

“Beulah, you're no longer fit to hold a position at this company. Effective immediately, you're fired.”

His voice was ice.

I smiled.：“Felix, are you sure you want to fire me?”

“I said what I said, Beulah. Don't make me repeat myself.”

Impatience flickered across his face.

I looked at him and smiled again. So this was what it had all been about. The contract was signed, everything was on track—he didn't need to pretend anymore.

So he wanted me gone.

Wanted to be rid of me.

Fine by me.

I spoke evenly.：“If Mr. Henson has decided to fire me, by all means.”

“But before you do, Mr. Henson, it seems you've forgotten something. I'm still a shareholder of this company.”

I pulled out a share agreement.

Right there in black and white: fifteen percent of the company, under my name.

“Beulah, what the hell are you getting at?”

The color drained from his face.

Years ago, I'd invested my own money into Felix's company. He'd signed an agreement giving me equity at the time.

But it had been so many years. He'd clearly forgotten that this agreement ever existed.

“What's wrong, Mr. Henson? Can't read your own signature?”

I kept my voice light.：“Since I'm leaving the company, Mr. Henson, we'll need to settle accounts.”

“I'm a shareholder. And in all these years, I haven't received a single cent in dividend payouts. Every last one of them needs to be accounted for.”

I said it looking straight at him.

His expression shifted completely.

Beside him, Vera's eyes went wide with panic.：“Beulah, what are you talking about?”

“This company belongs to Felix! Everyone knows it's his company and his alone!”

“How is it suddenly yours?”

She stared at me as if I'd lost my mind.

I barely spared her a glance. My eyes stayed on Felix.：“Mr. Henson, the startup capital for this company came from me, didn't it?”

“You know exactly how much profit this company has turned every year. And I haven't seen a single cent of it.”

“If you won't own up to that, I'll let the lawyers sort it out.”

“And when that happens, your books are the first thing they'll crack open.”

His face went ashen.：“Beulah, I'll settle up with you.”

I knew he wouldn't dare refuse.
