Chapter 207 A Good Husband Always Praises His Wife

At Ethan's residence, Jasmine was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen while Ethan, having just dropped Justin off at school, leaned against the dining table, taking a moment to hydrate.

Erin had indeed stirred up trouble; the kindergarten was now in the midst of replacing its principal and undergoing reform, all due to allegations of corruption and bribery among the principal and certain teachers.

Ethan's phone buzzed, indicating a call from HR's Daria.

"Mr. Ethan..." Daria sounded anxious, likely reaching out to warn him. "Jasmine's mother is causing a scene at the office, with the chairman and board members present, suggesting Jasmine be fired..."

"Jasmine is under my purview. All matters regarding her employment are my decision alone," Ethan asserted firmly. "But... What about Jasmine's mom causing a scene all the time? This can't go on," Daria expressed her concern.

Ethan's brow furrowed with frustration. What was May's motive? Was she heartless or simply malicious? After all, Jasmine was her daughter. Was she deliberately trying to sabotage her own child?

"You don't need to worry about this anymore." Ethan hung up and stepped onto the balcony to call Richard. "I'll be at the office in forty minutes. Your mom has been causing trouble there since early morning. Can you handle her? Make sure Jasmine doesn't find out."

Even over the phone, Ethan could sense Richard's anger. "She took money from Howard and now she's making a scene at the office front door?" Richard's voice quivered with rage.

"Is Jasmine really her biological daughter?" Ethan questioned, skeptical of May's intentions.

"I've had my doubts, but I know my mom had a daughter. Maybe she wasn't raised by her side... I'll handle it right away," Richard assured, ending the call promptly.

At Ryan's Diner, Erin, sipping her coffee through her face mask, noticed Richard's distraction. "What's the problem?" she inquired, lifting her mask slightly.

Richard, with a tinge of regret, explained, "Boss, there's a family issue I need to deal with... Can I take some time off?"

Erin leaned back, curious. "What happened?"

Richard hesitated to share the details, wary of airing his family's issues in public.
