Chapter 2
“You’ve got some nerve, Henry, calling me your secretary.”
I turned around and looked at Yvonne’s mother.
“How can you still not know what your son-in-law and daughter do for a living when they’re already getting married?”
Before I even finished speaking, the entire room burst out laughing.
“You still dare to question your boss?”
“Henry is the CEO of a publicly-listed company with countless assets!”
“Didn’t you know? This wedding hall is reserved for CEOs worth hundreds of millions of dollars. People like you can’t just walk in here!”
Hundreds of millions of dollars? Countless assets?
Hearing those words was like listening to the biggest joke in the world.
Henry’s current success was the product of all the resources I had given him.
I had ignored my parents’ objections and thrown myself into a relationship with him.
Henry did not have the vision or experience to stand firm in the business world, so I secretly assisted him in completing tasks he could not handle himself.
Without my help and guidance, how could he have transformed from a poor, inexperienced student to where he was now?
Seeing me standing there calmly, without a trace of fear or hesitation, the guests began to speak up in Henry’s defense.
“Henry, you’re just too kind! You need to make sure your staff know their place!”
“How dare a mere secretary cause trouble at your wedding! She needs to be fired! Otherwise, she’ll never learn her place!”
Surrounded by their voices, Henry took on the posture of someone in power, raising his voice to reprimand me, “I’ve been far too lenient with you, and you’ve forgotten your place.
“From today onward, you’re no longer my secretary. Since you’re not completely useless, you can work as a janitor instead.
“But if you still won’t learn your place, I’ll have no choice but to fire you.”
As soon as he spoke, the hall erupted with laughter.
I sneered.
“Who exactly are you to fire me?”
Before Henry could answer, someone else shouted at me, “Are you so jealous that you’ve lost your mind?
