Chapter 55


    Alessandra rested for a day before returning to the


    She was feeling down in the dumps because she was


    worried about thepensation amount. In fact, she


    did not sleep well thest two nights.


    Even though Emmanuel had told her not to worry and


    promised he would find a solution, she could not help


    but worry.


    She feared Derek might confront her that day and


    make a police report because she could not afford to


    pay. If that were to happen, she might lose her job,


    which would make things worse.


    Regardless, Alessandra was not someone who would


    evade problems, and the matter had to be resolved


    eventually. Worst case scenario, she would kneel


    before Derek in hopes thetter would forgive her.


    “Ma’am!”


    Sure enough, Derek went looking for her shortly after


    she clocked in.


    Alessandra straightened herself and greeted him


    politely, “M–Mr. Schwartz!”


    “I want to talk to you about theptop and the phone


    Before Derek could finish, Alessandra teared up, and


    she got to her knees.


    “Ma’am, what are you doing? You can’t do this!” Derek


    quickly helped her up.


    That scene was witnessed by everyone in the


    Even Beatrix, who passed by, watched it from afar.


    Naturally, she did not know Mackenzie had helped


    settle the issue. If necessary, I’ll help Emmanuel’s mom


    to pay.


    Although Mackenzie did not agree with the marriage,


    the cleaner was still her mother–inw. Beatrix could


    not let thetter be in such a tough situation.


    “Mr. Schwartz, my family really can’t afford toe up


    with twenty thousand. Please have mercy on me. I


    really didn’t do it on purpose!” Alessandra pleaded


    with tears streaming down her face.


    With so many people watching themotion, Derek


    was grateful that the news about him extorting twenty


    thousand from Alessandra had not spread. Otherwise,


    he would be reprimanded by everyone.


    “Ma’am, I was only saying that to remind you to be


    careful next time. Anyway, you don’t have to


    “Huh?”


    What’s going on?


    Alessandra was stunned.


    She never expected Derek would change so drastically.


    Immediately, relief flooded her heart, but she still could


    not stop crying.


    “R–Really? I don’t need topensate you anymore?”


    “Yes. That’s what I wanted to talk to you about.”


    Derek left as soon as he finished speaking to avoid


    attracting a crowd.


    Everyone was in shock.


    Even Beatrix was stupefied. After all, she had witnessed


    Derek’s encounters with Alessandra, and the contrast


    in his behavior was huge.

    Something obviously happened before this. Did


    Mackenzie help Emmanuel again? Otherwise, things


    wouldn’t have been resolved so easily, even if I had


    helped Ms. Cadigan put in some words.


    Now that the matter was resolved, Alessandra felt


    refreshed, and she excitedly dialed Emmanuel’s


    number.


    Emmanuel was still working at the hospital at that


    moment. When he learned about the matter, he


    breathed a sigh of relief.


    “Manny, did Mackenzie help? I need to thank her in


    person.”


    Alessandra was already desperate enough to see her


    daughter–inw. And now, her desire to see thetter


    grew stronger.


    This daughter–inw of mine is really capable. It must


    be a blessing from the Lowe family’s ancestors that


    Emmanuel found such a great wife.


    “Mom, it’s almost the end of the month. You’ll get to see


    her in a few days,” was all Emmanuel could say.


    As soon as he hung up, he began to worry.


    A few days ago, Mackenzie had told him she might not


    go home with him, and the topic had been suspended


    ever since.


    Mom will be disappointed if Mackenzie doesn’t go


    home with me.
