I'm Not a Cheap Woman

The Destruction of Gilbran

PT. Cruise Construction is busy preparing for an important meeting conducted by Gilbran suddenly. The meeting room was already filled with shareholders who were in the man's stronghold. Alex is still waiting for Nicholas and Zionel to arrive.

"Where is your boss, Alex? Soon this meeting will begin, does Mr Zio already know the results of this meeting so he does not dare to come?" gilbran asked with a sly smile.

"Not only Mr. Zio will be present, Mr. Gil, the President will be arriving soon" replied Alex.

They were all shocked, but Gilbran ended up laughing out loud.

"Will anything change if the President comes. He will even lose his position after knowing the number of shares that I have today" Gilbran said with a laugh.

Those who heard it laughed too.

"Actually they do not have to bother to attend this meeting, because the results will remain the same" Gilbran said.

"You'll know the result is the same or not after they come Gil sir. Before that, can you shut your big mouth right now" Alex said resentfully.

"How dare you set me up. If I manage to occupy the position of President, the first person I will get rid of is an assistant who has many mouths like you." Gilbran snapped.

Alex smiled without answering the man again. The meeting room door opened, and they all stood to welcome Nicholas and Zionel. But unexpectedly Ramirez and Andreaz also attended with them. They all stepped in and sat in the place Alex had arranged.

The atmosphere of silence occurred a while before Nicholas finally opened the meeting.

"Sir Gilbran, shouldn't the shareholders' meeting be held later this year, why would you have a sudden shareholder meeting like this. What exactly do you want?" ask Nicholas.

Gilbran smiled at her. "Because it's like this, then I won't mince words anymore."

Gilbran gave the secretaries a code to share their files with them. They all opened it with a smile, but Ramirez and Andreaz who did not know about Haena who returned looked very tense.

"Even if you combine your shares, my shares are 1% higher. Isn't it time for the position of President to be handed over to me?" ask Gilbran.

"Are you crazy? This company belongs to the Cruise family, even if you're the husband of Nile Cruise, but you're still an outsider. You have no right to assume the position of President." snapped Ramirez.

"Sir Gil, your position as director is already high. Why should you buy their shares and intend to take over the company?" ask Andreaz.

Gilbran laughed, he got up from his seat while standing. "I'm still your man, my office is only a cover for you. You never thought I was in this company at all."

"You're really crazy." Ramirez snapped again.

"Calm down, brother, you benefit the most here. You own the stock and always make a profit even if you never work hard here. As for me, it's just a doll that's used as a tool to make money for unemployed shareholders like you." shouted Gilbran.

"You..."

Zionel immediately restrained Ramirez to remain calm.

"Have you forgotten who is the biggest shareholder in this company, Mr Gil? Even though our shares are 1% lower than yours, when combined with Haena's, we can even make you leave the company" Zionel said.

Gilbran laughed again. "Who did you say? Haena's? Who's Haena? Do you all know him?"

All the Gilbran camp laughed at him. Nicholas gnashed his teeth holding in anger, even Zionel was eager to punch the man in the face.

"Is what you're doing known to Brother Nile?" ask Andreaz.

"You fool, I'm doing this on my wife's whim. Can't you read that file in front of you, Nile my wife has transferred her shares to me, so I have every right to do anything here."

Nicholas kicked the table hard. "Haena is still not found, she still has the right to the shares she owns here, she's my daughter of course she'll be on my side. So you have no right to be President. Gilbran, your actions are outrageous. My brother Nile is really crazy and I'm sure he's influenced by you."

"Ckckl... Nile also wanted to get more than he got now. It was not me who influenced him, but he himself wanted to do it. And it's been more than 5 years that the little girl disappeared, did you forget the contents of Cruise's will before she died? Haena's shares were donated to the foundation if Haena died. Do you think Haena's alive after 5 years of disappearance? Don't dream, stocks are useless." Gilbran said.

Zionel ran out of patience, he got up from his seat and went straight to Gilbran. The man clutched the collar of Gilbran's shirt.

"Sir Zio..." "Zio.." shouted everyone.

"Do you think I'm gonna hit you and dirty my hand?" zionel snapped while releasing Gilbran.

"My sister Haena is an innocent little girl, of course she is protected by God. How could he possibly leave this world without punishing a greedy person like you. You think you can get rid of my sister that easily as Gilbran.." cried Zionel.

"For your greed, you're trying to get rid of my sister. You and your wife arranged everything to take control of this company, do you still not understand? Do I have to explain in detail what you did to her?"

Gilbran laughs. "You almost lost, so you made up this story."

"What does this mean?" ask Ramirez. "Zuo... Nicho... What really happened?" coined.

"In all the years I lost my daughter, I never thought this would be the work of Nile and her husband. It was they who kidnapped Haena and tried to get rid of her" Nicholas replied.

Ramirez was wide-eyed, and everyone was surprised.

"You must not go too far to make up the story, we are discussing the position of the President at this time. Don't distract the conversation with your beautiful bouquets." Gilbran said.

"Beautiful people? If only I hadn't thought of my family, I would have killed you right now." Zionel snapped.

"Where is the evidence if I do that? You guys are really not sane."

"You're the one who's not sane." snorted Nicholas.

"So you need proof? Then I will say, I no longer need to hide it from you. Lex.." Zionel's ink.

Alex nodded his head, he moved his foot towards the meeting room door. Everyone stared at the door. Alex opened the door wide, a wheelchair began to enter the room. Falera pushed the wheelchair. Everyone looked up at the little girl who disappeared 5 years ago. Fortunately, Haena's face didn't change much.

"Haena.." said Ramirez and Andreaz together.

The two of them immediately approached the little girl.

"You're really Hae?" ask Ramirez.

"Right be Ram, I'm Hae." replied Zaline. "Om Andre." said it again with a smile.

"Oh my God, you're right to come back. What the hell happened to you?" Andreaz.

Gilbran's face paled, he continued to step back. "Where is it possible. where is it possible.." he murmured.

They kept busy with Zaline making Gilbran laugh out loud, he was like a madman in the room making everything look at him.

"He was the one who kidnapped me. He and Aunt Nile did it" Zaline said fearlessly.

Everyone looked at Gilbran again, but Ramirez could not contain his anger, he went from there to approach Gilbran and hit the man hard.

"Fuck you, you're the most jerk in the world. How could you do that to your own niece, huh?" ramirez said as he continued to hit him.

Alex and Zionel immediately arrest Ramirez.

"Take me off. I'll kill him here." shouted Ramirez.

Gilbran laughed again. "You should have killed your own brother. Nile told me to do it, Nile told me to get rid of his own niece." he shouted.

"Basic jerk." said Andreaz.

This time it was the man who beat up Gilbran, the atmosphere became a mess. Falera continued to hug Zaline to calm the little girl down.

Police officers who were already outside immediately entered to injure them.

"Gilbran Saksono Cruise, you're under arrest for kidnapping and attempted murder of a minor. You can give an explanation at the police station." said one of the police officers while arresting the man.

After Gilbran was taken away, they all stared at the paled Zaline. Zionel immediately called the medical team to check on him.
