Chapter 544


    Skr tried to exin to her. “My Mom doesn’t have any bad intentions. She doesn’t think when she


    speaks. Just ignore her.”


    “You know, my daughter-inw is going to birth soon, and she has been calling me to go home to take


    care of the baby,” Madelyn continued to express her dismay, “Even if I don’t get to go home, she hoped


    that I could support her financially. But with my low wage, how much can I give her?”


    “I’m afraid I can’t work here anymore, Ms. Jones. Please hire someone willing to work for the sry you


    pay.” Madelyn shot a nce at Skr as if she was trying to test the waters. She knew Skr would not


    want to go through the hassle of hiring another housekeeper, so she waited quietly for Skr to make


    her a better offer.

    Skr wanted to know how much Madelyn wanted because she did not want to deal with another


    stranger in the house.


    But before she could open her mouth, Tobias got downstairs and stood beside her.


    He shot a sullen re at Madelyn, causing her to lower her head. She instantly regretted voicing her


    demand when Tobias was around.


    Tobias must have heard the conversation she had with Skr earlier. “You don’t want to work anymore?


    Pack your stuff and leave right now. Don’t force yourself to work since you’re always tired. Find yourself a


    new employer who can give you better pay.”


    Skr was ready to increase Madelyn’s pay, but Tobias decided to get rid of her without any hesitation.


    Madelyn thought she could have her way with Skr, but when Tobias stepped in, she knew she did not


    stand a chance to negotiate anymore.


    She immediately yed the sympathy card. “That’s not what I meant, Mr. Ford. Ms. Jones treats me well,


    and I enjoy working here. I’ll tell my son to take care of their own babyter.”


    Skr’s jaw dropped upon seeing Madelyn’splete attitude change.


    What Miranda said to her earlier made sense now. People simply take advantage of my kindness and


    step all over me.


    Thanks to Tobias, Skr finally knew Madelyn was emotionally ckmailing her. She did not intend to


    quit at all.


    Skr had been treating Madelyn like her family member, yet this was what she got in return. This


    incident had caused Skr to lose faith in humanity.


    She went back to her room and sat by the bed. She did not go through the TikTok videos like she always


    did despite having twenty million followers, which the app had supplied her.


    Instead, she reflected upon how soft-hearted she was. All this while, she always put people’s interests


    before hers, and more often than not, she found herself suffered in silence.


    If she were a character in a historical drama about royal family feuds, the viin would have easily gotten


    rid of her by episode two.


    Though the phone kept sending out the low-battery signal, Skr did not bother to charge it. Since


    Tobias did not like to see her ying with her phone, she decided to ignore it.


    It was Tobias who plugged her phone into the charger. Upon seeing the wallpaper on the screen, he


    snorted. It was a picture of a teenage male celebrity. Why did she use a young boy’s photo as her


    wallpaper? Does she know how old she is?


    While Skr was slowly removing her earrings, she noticed Tobias was staring at the picture. She


    smiled. “Is he handsome? This boy is only seventeen years old, can you believe it? These good-looking


    young boys are stealing the hearts of older women like us.”
