When my husband Richard Summers announced my firing at the board meeting, his secretary Jessica Summers finally dropped her act. She plopped down in my seat right in front of all the executives, crossed her legs, and taunted, "Take care, Claire. Don't let the door hit you on the way out." Nodding calmly, I grabbed my bag and headed out. No one noticed the quick tap I made on my phone screen before leaving. It was a confirmation for a transfer that would shake the company to its core. The next day, the company erupted in chaos. The chief financial officer burst into the CEO's office, his face as white as a sheet. "17.5 billion dollars! All gone from the accounts. "We can't even make payroll, and we're behind on utility bills." Richard collapsed into his chair, finally realizing the truth: he had never been the real owner of this company. Jessica's smile froze instantly.
