    Chapter 239


    Liam’s face was pretty gloomy.


    But Martha seemed unfazed and continued, “I’ve worked for the Reed family for 16 years, and they


    fired me without anypensation. I have a family to support and my husband doesn’t have a job. It’s


    like they’re pushing us to a dead end.”


    Wesley chimed in, “Bro, that’s just way too much, man. She’s been a loyal employee for so many years


    and now this? How could anyone ept this?”


    Liam said coldly, “I did everything ording to the contract, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my


    actions. If you’re not satisfied, you can apply forbor arbitration. Threatening me here won’t change


    anything. I could even sue you for defamation of thepany’s image!”


    Then he instructed Owen, “Call the police!”


    Martha’s face changed, and she panicked a bit.


    Skyler told her to take a couple of days off and try pleading with Liam again when he had calmed down.


    But just a dayter, she received an email from Quantum saying they were going to fire her without


    compensation. How could she bear this?


    She made a scene at thepany just to get somepensation, not wanting to be burdened with a


    lawsuit.


    As she hesitated, a voice from the lobby yelled, “Don’t call the police!”


    Everyone turned around and saw it was Liam’s mother, Skyler.


    Next to Skyler was Celeste, who had some documents with her.


    Celeste didn’t expect to run into Skyler just as she entered thepany. Skyler treated her coldly since


    she knew about her taking birth control pills.


    When Skyler found out she was there to deliver documents, she called her over.


    As they entered thepany, they saw Martha on the second floor, yelling that she was going to jump.


    Seeing Skyler, Martha saw her as a savior and cried out, “Ma’am, please stand up for me.”


    Skyler looked at her disapprovingly. She’d told her to wait a few days, but Martha just couldn’t hold


    back and came to make a scene!


    Now the wholepany knew about it. Wasn’t that giving others something to hold against her?


    Suppressing her irritation, Skyler said softly, “Martha,e down first. We can sit down and talk things


    through. Making a scene like this only makes you aughingstock.”


    Martha worked under Skyler, so when she saw hering, she immediately felt more confident.


    Hearing her words, she really wanted toe down. But if she did that, how would she continue to


    trick everyone?


    Wesley said quietly, “Auntie, if this could be settled through a chat, why would Martha threaten us with


    her life?”


    That reminded Martha.


    If she didn’t make such a fuss today, Skyler wouldn’t have stepped in. This was the perfect time to


    negotiate. If she backed down now, how would they continue the negotiation?


    Skyler would definitely side with her son.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Realizing this, Martha sat back down, “Ma’am, I’ve put my pride aside today. I don’t care if peopleugh


    at me! I’ve given my all to the Reed family for all these years, right? But Mr. Reed fired me for no


    reason, just because Celeste said something. They even imed I’ve been skipping work and gave me


    nopensation Our job depends on reputation. If Mr. Reed fires me so easily, it would ruin my career!


    If you don’t give me an exnation today, I might as well end my life right here, jumping off Quantum


    Enterprises’ building to show everyone how thepany treats their long-term employees!” Skyler was


    so mad she could explode, thinking that Martha was so clueless to not see that someone was using


    her!


    The people downstairs were also gossiping


    “More than a decade now, being fired withoutpensation, isn’t Mr. Reed too cold-hearted?”


    That’s a light punishmentpared to Manuel from the finance department, who’s still in prison”


    “Manuel broke thew and deserved it. But what could this poor nanny do? She’s worked for the Reed


    family for over a decade, and now they fired her just like that. It’s heartbreaking


    “I heard it was Celestes idea. She didn’t like the nanny, so she whispered in Mr. Reed’s ear and got her


    fired”


    “How childish could she be?”


    Celeste’s eye twitched, thunking What did she do in her past life to deserve this? Why did they always


    me her for everything?


    What did Martha’s termination have to do with her?


    It made it seem like she told Liarn to fire her!


    Before Skyler could say anything, Angel suddenly said, Sis, Martha has always taken good care of you.


    It’s not worth firing her over such a small mistake. Everyone messes up sometimes, right? It’s tough for


    someone her age to find another job. Why don’t you ask my brother-inw for a favor and let it go?”
