Chapter 239

The doctor said it was an allergic reaction, so Stella went home to search for the allergen.

Unfortunately, when she checked the security cameras, she inadvertently discovered Maya’s son staying at their house.

Dahlia hated when employees did not know their boundaries. Maya was worried that she would lose her job if Dahlia found out that her son had stayed over at her employer’s house.

Maya cried and begged Stella not to tell anyone.

Back then, Stella did not say a word. She merely told Maya to change all of the sheets and reminded her to disinfect the rooms at least three times a week.

Stella did not like holding other people’s past mistakes over their heads.

“The past is in the past,’ she thought.

As time passed, Maya herself also forgot about the matter.

‘Now that I’m saying I didn’t take out the trash, I’m also admitting that I didn’t clean the room. I can’t refute at all when Stella’s using this matter to turn the situation around. Since I can’t speak of the real reason Keegan dismissed me, I can only admit it,’ Maya thought.

She bit down on her lips, “I only forgot that time, Mrs. Kane. Please give me another chance.”

Jackson narrowed his eyes, “Stella, I think Maya doesn’t look like she did it on purpose. Humans aren’t machines; who doesn’t make mistakes at work? Dismissing someone over such a small matter seems a little unjustifiable.”

“A small matter?” Stella looked up.

Her gaze was dark, “Do you know my husband could’ve lost his life because of her small mistake at work? You’ve never gone through the moments of waiting for the doctor’s news outside the emergency room. That’s why you’d think it’s a small matter.”

Stella’s voice was not loud, but her articulation was clear. Besides that, every single one of her sentences permeated true emotions, making others unconsciously believe that she genuinely did all this for the safety of her husband’s life.

Keegan turned to look at her.

‘Even though I know every single one of her sentences is a load of bull, seeing her sincerely” speak up”

for me makes some part of my heart crumble slightly,’ he thought.

When Sophia saw how Stella’s words stirred the crowd, she quickly said, “Even so, Stella, the punishment is still too harsh. It’s too big of a price to lose one’s job over a misstep. In the future, who’ll dare work for the company?”

Stella glanced at Sophia, “Why don’t you suggest an appropriate punishment, then?”

Sophia intended to arouse the masses; she did not expect Stella to pass the buck to her.
