Jonathan rushed toward me, accusing me of deceiving him. I raised an eyebrow and asked whether I had tricked him or if he had simply failed to read what he signed.
Vanessa looked at him, confused, asking why he told her he owned everything. He had no answer.
I leaned slightly closer and reminded him of what he said earlier about this being my last day in the house. He swallowed and confirmed it quietly.
“Well, there is another thing you forgot,” I said, glancing around the room.
His voice barely came out when he asked what I meant. I smiled.
“This house was purchased using company funds,” I said calmly.
Patricia gasped as Jonathan’s eyes widened in horror. For the first time, they all understood where the power truly lay.
The silence grew heavy as Jonathan stared at me, his world unraveling. He insisted it was impossible, but I calmly sat down across from him.
“It is very possible,” I said.
Vanessa stood nervously, demanding an explanation. Jonathan ignored her, flipping through the documents as if hoping they would change.
William finally asked what I intended to do next. I answered without hesitation.
“As the majority owner of Brooks Logistics, I legally control all company assets,” I explained.
Then I gestured slowly around the room. “That includes this property.”
Patricia’s voice trembled as she asked if that meant what she thought. I nodded.
Jonathan sank into the couch while Vanessa looked completely lost. She asked if I was saying I owned the house.
“Technically, yes,” I replied.
Jonathan grabbed my arm, begging me to talk. I gently removed his hand and reminded him of his own words.
“I thought today was my last day here,” I said.
