"Mr. Collins, I honestly have no idea what you're talking about," Martha stubbornly insisted, "I'm getting on in years and my memory isn't what it used to be. If you're accusing me of something, at least remind me of what I did or said. Otherwise, I honestly don't know what you're referring to."
Seeing her refusal to admit any wrongdoing, Hans replied coldly, "It seems like you've been bullying Bella behind my back in addition to what happened in that video. Pack your things, Martha. Serena is all grown up now. She doesn't need you anymore."
Martha was taken aback by Hans's words. Before she could react, he had already hung up the phone.
Hans was firing her?
He was kicking her out of the house?!
Martha couldn't believe what she had heard. It took her a while to recover from the shock before she could call Hans back.
Hans didn't pick up her calls.
After a few failed attempts, Martha, trembling, sent Hans a voice message.
"Mr. Collins, I've been loyal and diligent in this house for eighteen years. Now you want to fire me just like that? What exactly happened that led to such a severe misunderstanding? I can explain."
Five minutes passed.
Half an hour passed.
Hans didn't respond. Not even a single punctuation mark.
Martha clutched her phone, her heart pounding.
Hans must have seen that video. Otherwise, he wouldn't have decided to fire her so abruptly!
She remembered the incident which still made her restless.
