My Rich Hot and Infertile Husband (Celeste and Liam) novel Chapter 240

At first, everyone was just whispering, but when Angel spoke up, it unintentionally shifted everyone's attention onto Celeste.

Seeing this, Skyler chimed in, "Celeste, come on, Martha has taken care of you guys for so many years, just let her off the hook this once, and let's move on."

As long as Celeste took the blame, Liam's image in the company wouldn't be affected.

Finally, Celeste figured out why Owen had called her over. They were afraid that if this got blown out of proportion, it would affect Liam's image in the employees' minds, so they wanted her to be the scapegoat!

She stared coldly at Liam, who avoided her gaze guiltily.

But Liam frowned and said with his lips tightly pressed together, "Mom, this isn't something we can resolve privately anymore. If I agree to her demands today, in the future anyone who gets fired will make a scene like this. Can I let that happen? Is our company a charity?"

Gotta admit, when it comes to acting, she's no match for Liam.

She had already become the scapegoat, yet Liam could still speak so confidently.

Skyler said, "Isn't it just a little unpleasantness with Celeste? If Celeste is upset, let Martha apologize. For my sake, can we just let this go?"

Martha immediately understood, and knelt down in front of Celeste, "Ma'am, I apologize. Please be magnanimous and let me off this once. I really can't afford to lose this job..."

The crowd began to murmur.

"How can she do this, making someone her age kneel in front of her?"

"It's really not easy to find a job. Who else would go to such lengths to keep one?"

"Celeste's living a carefree life at home, how can she understand the hardship of ordinary workers? She kicks people out just by saying a few words."

"The Campbell family went from an ordinary family to a rich one step by step. She herself had experienced hardships. How can she be so heartless?"

After hesitating for a while, Martha said, "It's... it's because I forgot to take out the trash..."

That was definitely dodging the main issue.

Two years ago, Liam did indeed suffer from a rash due to mite infestation, and the whole company knew about it. It was also undoubtedly caused by sleeping in unclean bedding.

Martha's face turned red.

Who'd have thought that when Liam came back the next day and slept on the same bed, he broke out in rashes!
