Chapter 1287

"There's a lot of work that needs your personal touch, so you can't just collapse here."

Upon hearing Bard's words, Gordon expressed his gratitude, "Sir, I can handle it, but."

“I'll be fine, someone will come to relieve me soon."

Only then did Gordon leave with a sense of ease.

Bard, looking at the figure lying on the hospital bed, pondered aver something, with a shadow of

suspicion lingering in his mind about someone.

Elsewhere.

Upon seeing the photos and videos Erik sent her, tears welled up in Serena's eyes instantly.

These were glimpses of Martha's new working environment.

Seeing the once spirited Martha, now a waitress in a restaurant, tears inevitably streamed down

Serena's face.

“I'm off today and was out for lunch with a friend when I ran into Martha. I knew you'd be worried about

her, so I took these without her knowing."

“None of the businesses under the Collins family's umbrella would hire her now, so she’s been forced

to work at this small diner. I saw the job posting outside. It said a waitress could make about $400 a

month."

Tears sprung to Serena's eyes once again. Back in the day, Martha used to bring home more than ten

thousand dollars a month from the Collins family!

If it wasn't for Arabella's heartless actions, Martha could still be a part of the Collins family, not having

to endure such hardships.

Just then, Erik sent another video.

Upon opening it, Serena saw a cantankerous woman angrily hitting the table, “Is this what I ordered?

Are you blind or deaf? I clearly ordered meatloaf, and look at what you've served!"

“I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.” Martha apologized profusely, “There were just too many orders. I got

confused. I'm new here. Please forgive me."

“What does your being new have to do with me? I'm a paying customer here, and I shouldn't have to

put up with this! Bring me a new dish, for free!"

"Ma'am, whether it's free or not isn't up to me." Martha explained, clearly in a bind.

"Who are you calling ‘ma'am’? Look at yourself! You think I'm old?" The woman, infuriated, threw the

water from her glass right at Martha's face, "What are you waiting for, get out! Or do you want me to file

a complaint?"

Martha bowed and apologized profusely, finally leaving with the incorrect dish. As soon as she

disappeared into the kitchen, a man who looked like the owner questioned her and berated her harshly.

Watching this, Serena was filled with anger. All of this over a wrong order?

She immediately called Erik, urging him to get Martha out of there and to stop her working in such a

place!

In the end, Serena couldn't just sit there and rushed to the restaurant, only to replace out that Martha had

already been let go. She was sitting in a small garden not far from the diner, her belongings at her feet.

Her wet clothes had yet to dry, and she looked quite pitiful.

Upon seeing her, Erik said in a heavy tone, “Serena, you're here. Martha worked all day, had all her

pay deducted because of this incident, and was thrown out"

"This is outrageous.” Serena clenched her fists, "This is outright bullying!"

Upon hearing a familiar voice, Martha looked up and tears streamed down her face.

Serena, too, began to cry. She draped her overcoat over Martha and held her close.

Martha's body was stiff. It was only then that Serena realized something was wrong. After inquiring, she

found out that Martha had strained her back washing dishes all day at her previous job, and was fired

for being too slow. She had finally found this job at the diner, only to be fired again for serving the

wrong dish.

"Martha, stop working. I'll take care of you."

“No, I can't let you do that. Just hearing you call me Martha is enough for me."

As the two women cried and held each other, a glint of satisfaction flashed in Erik's eyes.
