Chapter 231

Sophia was momentarily taken aback. Then, however, she followed along with the crowd, eager to see what was happening.

As soon as she stepped out of the lift, she heard someone crying in the lobby. “Why are you firing me?

I’ve been dedicated to serving the Kane family for almost twenty years. And now you’re letting me go without any compensation. This is going to ruin my life! I’m going to take legal action against you!”

The HR manager downstairs explained, “Ms. Lane, we tried to reach you multiple times. yesterday and explained the situation. But you refused to listen and hung up on us. You didn’t come to handle the procedures, nor did you come to work. So we had to mark it as an unexcused absence. If you’re not satisfied, you can apply for labor arbitration. It won’t help to create a disturbance here.”

“You’re the ones who didn’t want me to come here, so how can this be considered an unexcused absence? You’re bullying me! I demand to speak with Mr. Kane! I want to see Keegan Kane!”

“Mr. Kane is busy at the moment. He asked me to handle your case. If you’re unsatisfied with the result, you can file a lawsuit. But if you make a scene here, I’m sorry, I may have to ask security to escort you out.”

The HR manager gestured to the security officers. As the security officers were about to move forward, Maya broke through the crowd and ran up to the second floor. She climbed over the railing and threatened the guards, “Don’t come near me! If you do, I’ll jump!”

The lobby on the first floor was about five to six meters high. If Maya jumped, she would not die but would definitely get injured.

Therefore, as soon as she made this threat, the security officers hesitated to approach her. They were worried that any accidents could harm the company, and no one wanted to bear that responsibility.

Maya seized on this and insisted on seeing Keegan. “I’ve served the Kane family with all my heart and done nothing wrong. So why does Mr. Kane want to fire me? I refuse to accept it! I’ll jump from here if Mr. Kane doesn’t explain today!”

The HR manager frowned, “Ms. Lane, your behavior is meaningless. We’re following the contract and acting under the law.”

“Is forcing someone into a corner the only way to follow a contract? Don’t come any closer, or I’ll jump if you do!”

The two sides were deadlocked when a voice interrupted, “What’s going on?”

The crowd moved aside, and Sophia saw a tall, handsome man who looked similar to Keegan. His facial features weren’t as refined as Keegan’s, but he was still handsome. However, the inexplicable wickedness in his eyes made people feel uncomfortable when he stared at them. The person was Jackson, Chandler Kane’s only son, and Keegan’s cousin. He had recently been assigned to a project in the Southern West and had just returned a few days ago.

When the HR manager saw Jackson, he looked tense and said, “It’s a normal personnel change, and I’ll handle it quickly.”

As soon as Maya saw Jackson, she cried, “Jackson, please help me…'”

Jackson looked at the HR manager and said, “Is this your solution?”

The HR manager’s face turned sour, but he didn’t say anything.

Although Jackson’s position in the company wasn’t as high as his father’s, the board of directors still respected him. He was also Chandler Kane’s only son, so he commanded some influence.

“Go get Keegan. Maya might have made a mistake, but she’s been a loyal employee for a long time and deserves to be treated with respect. What’s the point of causing a commotion?”

The HR manager complied and turned to his assistant to notify Keegan.

Sophia pursed her lips and secretly recorded a video with her phone, which she sent to Aurora.

Aurora tried to persuade Dahlia to give her more allowance, saying she wanted to invite Marshall to dinner.

Dahlia had been extremely stressed lately because of Maya’s situation, so when she heard Aurora asking for money, her expression turned sour. “Didn’t I give you two million last month? How did you spend it?”
