Are y’all ready for an epic story of REVENGE?

Well, let me go ahead and say that you’re in the right place!

Because this person wasn’t messing around when it came to family matters!

Check out what they had to say in this story from Reddit.

I went from school teacher to chairman of the board of a big company for the sake of revenge.

“When I was a tiny kid, my father was my best friend. He worked multiple jobs to support my family, all while powering his way through law school.

He even built a couple of small businesses from the ground up with a couple of his friends. All while doing this, he managed to be the best dad ever, spending as much time as he could with my mother, myself and my baby siblings.

They got terrible news.

One day, we found out that he had stage 4 stomach cancer, the kind that you don’t recover from. My mother and I stayed by his side all the way til it was all over. The last memory I have of my father was when he was completely immobile, practically a vegetable at this point with tubes going in and out of his body and me just praying that he’d still be able to remember who I was.

All the guy could do was smile at me just to let me know he still recognized his son even if the doctors told us most of his memories would be gone. Eventually, he fell into a coma for some days before waking up to say goodbye to my mother who was by his side when he passed away. She was a housewife so we really didn’t have much to go on after his passing.

And then there’s the grandfather…

Enter my grandfather. He was one of those self-centered boomer types who makes everything about himself. After my father passed away, he’d use the newspaper obituary to boast about his **** son’s grades and achievements which I realized seemed to be the only thing my dad was to him. Just in case you were wondering, yes, we are Asian.

My mother was grieving and trying to find a way to make ends meet and my grandfather graciously offered to help her control my father’s two businesses to help support us. My mother agreed because she didn’t have any experience.

While we grew up, the two businesses didn’t provide much for us, likely because my father was one of the big reasons they were thriving. Mom was in and out of multiple jobs just to keep us floating.

My grandfather offered to help put me and my siblings through school.

They were thankful for the help.

I managed to score some scholarships with some good schools growing up so thankfully he didn’t have to do as much for me, but we were really glad that he helped out with my siblings.

After I made it out of school, I found out that my family was broke and my two siblings were still making their way through medical school.

My sister even offered to stop and just get a job, but I told her to keep going because she was doing so well and that she deserved to graduate.

There were some concerning developments…

My grandparents had cut us off because they didn’t approve of the directions my siblings took in life, especially my sister who was, for them, too female to have a career in medicine (my grandmother is a bit of a misogynist).

“Why are you wasting your time and money becoming a doctor? You’re just going to have children and quit.”

They got some shocking news.

I was working as a high school teacher when I was contacted by one of my dad’s old business partners for one of his companies. After I asked him about how the company was doing, he told me that my grandfather who was still in control of my father’s shares was siphoning money from the company for himself and he was earning way more than he was giving me and my siblings for our education.

So all our lives he’d been making us feel indebted to him for money that was supposed to be ours to begin with and he lied to us by telling us that dad’s companies weren’t making any money for us at all. We also realized that when he cut us off, he was cutting us off from our own money forcing my siblings to drop out and give up careers that they’d been working their whole lives for.

What’s worse is that this was our father’s money and we know that he’d wanted it to help us provide for our futures even after he passed away and here comes his jerk father basically ******** on his legacy for his own enrichment.

I even found out that he used his position to take possession of the company’s office space and forced them to set up shop in a smaller cheaper office while renting the original space out under his own name to the company’s competitors to make money from them too… all while I had to work multiple jobs to help my mother and siblings pay the bills.

It was payback time.

Cue revenge.

My grandfather’s biggest weakness has always been his pride. In fact, I suspect that he wanted us to think he was helping support us out of his own pocket because he wanted everyone to think he was some kind of hero when in reality he was financially choking us.

I recognized that no matter what my grandfather said, my siblings, my mother and I were legally the owners of my father’s company shares.

They took action.

So after having a statement signed by the three of them, I approached all the board of directors sans my grandfather and let them know that I was now that sole representative of my late dad’s estate, my grandfather also made himself chairman of the board (according to the company records, he did no work for the company at all so the position was just a name that allowed him to receive money) so I convinced them that since he was only chairman as representative of my father’s estate, that made me the chairman (I did not intend to keep the position because I did not have the experience for it.).

Then I contacted other members of my extended family about my grandfather’s unethical practices with the company’s office space. He was eventually pressured by them into evicting the company’s main competitor from their office space. Serves them right for conniving with my grandfather to take the company’s old office space.

It was just like a scene in a movie…

At the next board meeting, I prepared for the moment I’d been waiting my entire life for.

When he entered the conference room, to preside over the meeting as the chairman, he found his chair facing away from the table with all the board members already seated at the table, and like a bond villain, I spun the chair around to reveal to him that I’d been the one sitting there the entire meeting.

I told him that the company and my family no longer needed him and that I’d be taking control over representation of my father’s estate.

“Do you know that I’m the one who put him and his siblings through school?” He said in shock.

I only went “No. Dad did.”

It worked like a charm…

The look of sheer embarrassment on his face was perfect. I’ve never seen him look defeated my entire life until that moment and this sort of satisfaction could not be achieved by simply ratting him out.

I stepped down from the chairman position and took a job in the company’s treasury department as a bookkeeper with a meager salary, but at least now any profit-sharing or dividends that the company released would go where my father wanted it to go… and finally, one of the first decisions I got to make as a board member before stepping down was to give my mother a permanent job that she deserved.

My grandfather is now jobless. He spends all his time at home and because he spent his life being selfish and self-centered, he has no friends. All he had going for him was being able to powertrip over other people and boasting about his assets and achievements.

Even my grandmother has had it with him and the two don’t even sleep in the same room anymore. I hope he lives the rest of his short life regretting that he didn’t live his life with more compassion and humility.”

And now it’s time to see how people reacted on Reddit.
