The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 350 Kate’s Flaunting 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.

Cora lamented her fate. Why was life so cruel to her? Why did the wicked go unpunished while the innocent suffered calamity after calamity?

“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 exclaimed 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 supervisor 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 would come up with an excuse to fire her.

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 to your employers!” Willow declared.
