Boss Fired Me On The Spot For Wine Spill… Then I Saw Who He Really Was
Previously: A spoiled heiress's drunken rage turned into her worst nightmare when she insulted the wrong man on a foggy pier. He wasn't just any passenger; he was the airline's secret founder.
The Billionaire's Reveal
The tension on the pier crackled like static electricity. Vivian Beaumont, emboldened by her perceived power, continued her verbal assault, her arrogance a suffocating cloud. But as she reveled in her cruelty, a deeper, more resonant voice cut through the air, silencing her tirade.
"Your father sold his entire thirty percent stake to me at midnight, Vivian."
The words, spoken by Arthur Vance, landed like hammer blows. He had stepped between us, his imposing figure a stark contrast to Vivian’s fragile fury. The mist seemed to swirl around him as he fixed her with a gaze that could freeze lava. Vivian’s smug expression faltered, then shattered. Her face, moments before flushed with anger, drained of all color. Her eyes widened in stunned disbelief, her arrogant sneer frozen in place.
I watched, utterly bewildered, as the dynamic shifted. The woman who had held such absolute power over me moments before was now visibly trembling, her world imploding. Arthur Vance, the quiet passenger, the unassuming man in the scuffed coat, was the airline's founder. And he had just publicly dismantled Vivian’s entire foundation of privilege.
He turned his steely gaze towards me, his expression softening almost imperceptibly. He placed a firm, reassuring hand on my trembling shoulder. The gesture, simple yet profound, grounded me amidst the chaos. It was a silent acknowledgment, a show of support that meant more than any apology Vivian could offer.
"I am Arthur Vance, founder of this airline—Jack, revoke her pass and permanently blacklist her from our fleet."
His voice was deep, authoritative, leaving no room for argument. He wasn't just the founder; he was the ultimate authority. Vivian stood speechless, clutching her silk coat, her chin quivering. Her reign of arrogance had ended abruptly, replaced by a horrified, ruined silence. I, on the other hand, felt a surge of awe and relief wash over me. Tears of astonishment and gratitude welled in my eyes as I stood a little taller, my dignity slowly returning.
