Chapter 235

Keegan’s face darkened.

Maya thought she had the upper hand and continued to speak out, “I worked for the Kane family for sixteen years. They not only fired me but also refused to give me any compensation. I have a family to support; my husband is unemployed. They are pushing us all to the brink.” Jackson chimed in, “Keegan, you are too heartless. Isn’t it ruthless to treat an employee serving us for over a decade this way?”

Keegan’s eyes narrowed, and he spoke coldly to Maya, “I followed the contract, and I don’t see anything wrong with how I handled the situation. If you’re dissatisfied, you can apply for labor arbitration. Threatening me here won’t change anything, and I can even sue you for slandering the company’s reputation!”

As Keegan spoke, he turned to Aldor and ordered, “Call the police!”

Maya’s arm trembled, and she began to feel anxious. Dahlia had told her to take a couple of days off and promised to talk to Keegan when he was calmer.

But just one day later, Maya received an email from the Vinci Rivera Group informing her that she was being terminated without compensation. So how could she stay put?

Maya had come to the company to make a scene so she could seek compensation, not to start a legal battle.

As Maya hesitated, a voice rang out through the lobby, “Don’t call the police!” Everyone turned their heads and found it was Keegan’s mother, Dahlia. Stella, who had just arrived to deliver the document, was with Dahlia.

Earlier, Stella had not expected to meet Dahlia as soon as she came. On the other hand, Dahlia gave Stella an attitude because of the birth control pill incident. However, knowing that Stella was there to deliver a document, she asked Stella to join her. When they entered the company, they saw Maya standing on the second floor, threatening to jump.

Maya saw Dahlia as if she was her savior. Then, choking back tears, she implored, “Please help me.”

Dahlia glared at Maya and thought, ‘I told her to wait a few days, but she couldn’t be patient. Now she’s making a scene in the company, giving Chandler’s family an excuse to use against us.’

Suppressing her irritation, Dahlia spoke gently, “Maya, come down first. We can sit down and talk about it. Why are you making a scene? It’ll just make you a laughing stock.”
