Chapter 237

Originally, everyone was just whispering to each other. But Sophia’s words shifted the blame to Stella, making everyone point fingers at her.

“Stella, Maya has been caring for you and Keegan for many years. So why don’t you just let it slide?”

said Dahlia while thinking, ‘As long as Stella bears the blame, Keegan’s reputation in the company will be safe.”

Stella finally understood why Aldor had called her over. She cursed inwardly, “The hell they need me to deliver that document! They just want me to be the scapegoat for Keegan because they’re too damn scared the incident will smear his precious reputation among the employees!

She shot Keegan and Aldor a cold glare. Aldor averted her gaze, feeling guilty.

Keegan frowned and pursed his lips before he said, “Mom, this is not a matter we can privately negotiate anymore. If I set a precedent today, what if someone else gets laid off and makes a scene like this? Should I just turn a blind eye to it? Is our company some kind of charity?”

Stella thought to herself, “When it comes to acting, I can’t compete with Keegan. They blamed me, and he can still talk so righteously.”

Dahlia said, “Maya just had a small disagreement with Stella. If Stella is still not happy, let her apologize to Stella. Just forgive her for my sake and let this slide, alright?”

Maya immediately understood Dahlia’s words and knelt in front of Stella. “Mrs. Kane, I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Please let me keep my job…”

The crowd discussed among themselves.

“This is too much. At her age, she had to kneel.”

“It’s not easy to find a job. If Maya has a choice, she won’t steep to this level.”

“Mrs. Kane doesn’t understand the hardships of working-class people since she stays at home all day and lives a life of luxury. She got the employee fired with just a few words.”

“The Jewell family used to be ordinary folk. She has suffered hardships before. How could she be so mean?”
