Chapter 0021

Boom!

In their shabby living room, Patrick felt as though he was struck by lightning, and his mind instantly went blank.

Alexander gifted Donovan a casket instead of the small gold Hygieia statue for his 70th birthday?!

“T–The gold Hygieia is right here,” Susanne’s voice trembled as she pointed to the living room corner, feeling a chill running down her spine.

They were done for!

The small gold Hygieia statue they had carefully saved for, using all their money and Amber’s savings from working at the bathhouse, was meant to make Donovan happy at the celebration. However, Alexander did something completely insane and humiliating!

Donovan must be furious with Alexander.

“Miss Chesire, there must be a misunderstanding,” Patrick said, his voice quivering. “Alexander acted on his own, and Susanne and I didn’t know

anything. Please don’t fire us. W–We’ve worked hard to secure the Severn Group project for Chesire Group for almost half a year! We-”

Zoe’s mocking laughter interrupted Patrick.

Sitting in her grand assistant general manager’s office, she arrogantly said, “Do you really think I don’t know what you’re up to? Do you think the success with Severn Group was your doing? It’s mine! Heck, not only did Alexander send a casket to Grandpa, but he even demanded Herbert and I apologize to Olivia on her birthday!”

Zoe chuckled and added, “Anyway, I can’t be bothered with your nonsense. As of today, you and Susanne are no longer employees of Chesire Group. Get out of my sight!”

Zoe immediately hung up after saying that.

“It’s all over for us…” Patrick slumped weakly into his chair, his face drained of all color as tears slowly slid down his cheeks, following the lines of his wrinkles.

Everything was over. Alexander’s recklessness shattered their half–year–long efforts and their hopes of returning to the Chesire family.
