Chapter 171 Who Is the Gossipmonger

That very day, Courtney’s name was listed on the notice of discipline issued by the person in charge. She was suspended without pay for a month and had to cooperate with their internal investigation into the cause of the fire. Upon receiving the notice of discipline in the early hours of the morning, the Human Resource Department bluntly rejected her letter of resignation on the grounds that ‘no resignation was allowed during the suspension period’.

Cameron brought some breakfast with her when she visited Tina and Courtney at the hospital. Tina was eating some porridge on the hospital bed, and her voice was still rather hoarse as she said, “Mommy, will Jordan be coming today?”

Moreover, there’s more to the fire than meets the eye. You suspect that you’ve been set up by somebody. Still, Alexander is not a fool. He was simply too furious to think yesterday. Once the investigation results come out, he will surely regret his actions. Well, if you can’t wait for that long, you
