Even After Death Novel (Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller) novel Chapter 1126

Alfred was aware that Tatiana was trying to sacrifice a pawn to secure the big picture. He had underestimated Olivia's importance to Mason and Linus.

If things went on like this, even Tatiana would get the blame. Abandoning Alfred was a better choice than getting Tatiana dragged down with him.

Alfred was at a loss. Tatiana was Mason's wife, after all. Even if Mason was angry at her, they would reconcile soon enough.

But if Alfred exposed Tatiana, he would be offending the entire Heath family. When that happened, he might be chased out.

So, Alfred took all the blame right away. "Yes, Mrs. Heath did remind me to do that. I was doing a good job at first, but the room didn't have a heating system.

"I contacted the repairman right away, but he wasn't free to come over today. This is totally out of my control. My attitude was lacking back then, and I should be punished for mistreating the young lady.

"Mr. Heath, Mr. Linus, please forgive me."

As expected, after Alfred said that, Tatiana had a much better expression on her face.

It was only then that she begged, "Alfred has been working with us for so many years, and he has always worked diligently. He committed a mistake today, but I'm sure he can learn from his mistakes.

"It's a good thing that nothing serious happened."

Krystal muttered, "That's right. It's just a lack of heating, right? It's just a minor issue, so let's not make mountains out of molehills. Mr. Warner has worked hard for us, and he's like family to us.

"Dad, Linus, you two were just too harsh. Now that you've beat him up and scolded him, are you going to fire him too?"

"A minor issue?" Mason sneered. "Alright, then. Let's turn off the heating system in Tatiana's and Krystal's rooms and see how they take it. If the heating system is broken, just change rooms.

"Do we not even have a spare room in our house? Even if every unit was broken, what's wrong with letting her stay with someone else? Does she even have to sleep in a cold room at all?

"This old man must have gone blind and started taking matters into his own hands. The incident that happened today can't be the first, nor will it be the last.

"Alfred, talk to the finance department and get your salary for this month sorted out. As for other matters, compensation will be made. My family refuses to hire you any longer."
