Whispers spread throughout the room.
Robert shouted:
“What controlling shareholder?”
I smiled.
“Me, Robert. Sixty percent of the company belongs to me. It has belonged to me since the day the company was founded.”
His face turned white.
“That’s impossible!”
At that moment, Mr. Harris rose from his seat.
“The documents have been verified. Mrs. Margaret’s ownership rights are confirmed.”
Robert sank into a chair.
But I wasn’t finished.
“And the key, Robert, is the key to my new apartment.”
He stared at me in disbelief.
“You’re leaving me?”
“Yes. And this time, you didn’t get to make the decision.”
Then I took another document from my purse.
“I’ve also begun divorce proceedings.”
Robert’s hands started trembling.
“Margaret, you can’t humiliate me like this!”
I stepped closer to him.
“You’ve humiliated me for forty-five years. Today, I’ve simply stopped allowing you to do it.”
