Angeline walked up to Uncle Andy with a sullen expression and questioned him, "Tell me, Uncle Andy. How much did they pay you to betray Grand Asia?”
The old man looked a little distraught. "What are you talking about, Ms. Severe? No one told me to do this!"
A sneer flashed across Angelina's eyes. "Oh, Uncle Andy. Any Grand Asia employee has the right to accuse me, only you don't."
Uncle Andy was puzzled.
Angeline continued, "Ever since you became severely ill two years ago, Uncle Andy, you’ve lost your ability t o work. Grand Asia terminated your employment contract two years ago. Have you forgotten about this?"
Uncle Andy shook his head. "You're lying. I've never signed any employment termination contract."
Angeline glanced at Grayson. With that, Grayson immediately turned around and went upstairs.
Not long after that, Grayson came back downstairs with Uncle Andy's employment termination contract and handed it over to Angeline reverently.
Angeline tossed it to Uncle Andy. "Take a closer look a t whether this is an employment termination contract. Then look again and see if the signature is yours."
Uncle Andy flipped through the employment termination contract and stared incredulously at his own signature.
Angeline said, "All you have to do is sit in the company all day. You don't even have to do anything yet you still continue to receive the same salary as everyone else. Do you think you're earning your salary from your labor? You're wrong. Your monthly salary is transferred to you from my personal account.
"In other words, in the past two years, I'm just giving you a job out of respect for the former president. And yet you don't know any better and bite these hands that feed you, taking other people's bribes while adding insult to my injury."
Angeline carried an air of menace. "Uncle Andy, you don’t have to come to work anymore starting tomorrow."
At first, the bystanders were displeased to see Grand Asia using its power to bully the weak, hence all of them wanted to seek justice for the elderly man.
Angeline, however, used just a few words to turn Uncle Andy's position from a weak old man who was being bullied to a villain who was ungrateful. The bystanders started to look at Uncle Andy with displeasure.
Uncle Andy cried out anxiously, "You're lying."
