“What else can we do? They have to sell their house and car to get a hundred fifty thousand dollars, or the baby will die in vain.”
Cecilia raised her eyebrows. “If it weren’t for your useless son who got someone’s daughter pregnant, I wouldn’t need to sacrifice my child to blackmail someone for money!”
1 finally realized that Cecilia did not want the money for herself but for that useless brother of hers, Fred. Moreover, it seemed that Cecilia’s husband did not know anything about this.
I secretly kept my phone after hearing that and smiled coldly. After all, her husband looked to be a very bad–tempered man.
I was not in a rush. I returned to the office after my leave was over.
Stacey came to me. She looked haggard, and her eyes immediately turned red when she saw
- me.
I did not forget to teach her a lesson yesterday and asked her to pay me 750 dollars.
“Some luck you got, Jessica. Not only did you get away with it, but you also got compensation.”
I glanced at her. “Would you want it if I gave you this chance? Why didn’t you mention I got slapped? Who could you blame for the trouble you’re facing now? You’ve been trying hard to flatter her all this time.”
Stacey almost cried when she heard that.
Just then, Trevor came over at that juncture. “Stacey, go to the Human Resources Department to settle the resignation procedures.”
Stacey was stunned. “What procedures? Why?”
“You caused a big scene. How can our company still remain in business when the family members come to the office later? You’ve caused such a big trouble. Do you know that this will also affect the image of the company?”
