    Chapter 350 Kate’s unting Ways


    Cora was halfway through her sentence when the call was cut off with a click. She sank into despair.


    Noticing Cora’s expression, Willow asked, “What happened, Madam Upton?”


    “That was my supervisor just now. He said I offended the Masseys, so they had me fired. I don’t have a


    job anymore…” Cora answered weakly. Her eyes were unfocused as anguish colored her face.


    As soon as she finished speaking, she began to sob.


    Though her work as a street cleaner paid very little, it had been enough for her and Flora to


    survive.


    Now that she was jobless, she and Flora would probably end up homeless.


    Coramented her fate. Why was life so cruel to her? Why did the wicked go unpunished while the inno


    cent suffered cmity after cmity?


    “How can they rub salt on your wound? The Masseys beat you up in public, and this supervisor


    yours is being so unreasonable! How could he fire you?” Willow eximed in fury.


    She felt bad for Cora and Flora. They suffered so much in life.


    Cora was the victim in this situation, and she had not offended the Masseys on purpose. Yet, her super


    visor fired her without even finding out what happened. How heartless!


    On the other hand, Caspian was not at all stunned by the turn of events.


    This was the way of the world. Since Cora had offended the Masseys, her employer


    would never keep her employed. They woulde up with an excuse to fire her.


    Society was brutal this way. It was a dog–eat–dog world, and only the strong survived.


    As the Diatoranian God of War, it was Capian’s job to change this.


    He wanted to ensure that all the citizens of Diatoran were treated as equals.


    “Don’t worry, Madam Upton. I’ll find a way to help you resolve this crisis. If anything, we can try to talk t


    o your employers!” Willow dered.


    “Let’s forget


    about it,” Cora declined while shalding her head. “I know you want to help me, and I’m grateful for the ki


    ndness you’ve shown me. I’ll try to think of something I can do once I leave the hospital.”


    She felt genuinely thankful for everything


    low had done. While she did not say anything


    now, she knew full well it would be hard for her to find another job.


    After all, she was an uneducated woman and not that young anymore. No one would hire her. For the fi

    “It doesn’t matter if you lose your job. In fact, I think it’s a good thing.” Caspian chimed in with a smile


    “Huh?”


    Cora looked at Caspian in confusion.


    “What do you mean by that, hubby? How is it a good thing?” Willow asked in confusion as well


    Cora was saddened enough by the fact that she had been fired, and it sounded as if Caspian was rubbi


    ng salt into her wound.


    “What do you think I said? I guess I wasn’t being clear enough. Well, being a street cleaner is tough, an


    d it pays very little. Why don’t you get a job with a higher sry?” Caspian suggested


    with a chuckle.


    “Have you thought of something, hubby?” Willow asked anxiously.


    “You’re being so silly. Have you forgotten that we still need a housekeeper for our ce? Why don’t we


    let Madam Upton work for us?


    “Another option would be hiring her to work as a janitor at Soutke Corporation. You can decide how


    much she gets paid,” Caspian said while patting Willow on the head.


    Currently, Caspian and Willow did not have a housekeeper for Riverside Vi. Since Cora seemed like


    a trustworthy person, Caspian figured there was no harm in giving her the job.


    “You’re right, hubby!” Willow eximed in realization. Why didn’t she think of that?


    “Why don’t you work for us, Madam Upton? All you have to do is keep the house tidy. You can also be


    a janitor at Soutke Corporation, but the work will be harder. Why don’t you decide


    hich one suits you better?” Willow asked.


    She gave Cora the choice in the matter to protect Cora’s self–


    esteem. She did not want Cora to think the job was a handout


    Cora was thrilled by the offer, but she hesitated.


    “Maybe I shouldn’t work for you,” she said falteringly. “Put not educated, and I’m not a good


    at Soutke Corporation.”


    She knew full well that Willow would not take advantage of her. If she worked for them, they would pay


    her a far higher sry than what she earned as a street cleaner.


    But she was worried about doing a bad job.


    “It’ll be fine. My husband and I are the only ones staying at our ce. No one willin. about your


    work!” Willow hastily assured.


    “Well, I …”


    Cora was still hesitant.


    “I know what you’re concerned about, Madam Upton, but you need to think about what’s best for Flora,


    too. Now that you’ve lost your job, you won’t even be able to put food on the table,” Caspian said.


    Cora nced at Flora and felt remorseful.


    Caspian was right. She needed to find a job as soon as possible to continue providing for her and Flora’


    She couldn’t let Flora go hungry.


    Having made up her mind, Cora said, “Okay. I’ll do it.”


    “That’s great!” Willow eximed happily.


    “That’s settled then. I’ll handle the paperwork to get you two discharged from the hospital.. Afterward, yo
