Chapter 45

"But 25 thousand is a lot and-"

"So what? You were giving 19 thousand to your mistress, so it shouldn't be difficult to come up with that money for yourself."

"I could pay that amount if you give me back my job."

"No, Roger. That's your punishment: you'll replace a job like everyone else to support your mistress and pay child support to Deborah, without my financial help." "Wait... what do you mean by replaceing a job?" Roger asked, alarmed.

"You need to replace employment because you're fired from the company." "What?!" Both Isabelle and Roger were shocked.

"George, isn't that a little excessive? Roger is your son and-"

"He's an employee who skipped work without any justification."

"Without justification? He was in prison!"

"But that happened because he annoyed the judge, didn't he?"

"George, you need to be fair."

"Well, I wasn't the one who fired him, it was his direct supervisor. And I shall respect Edgar's decision."

"George, you can't do this to our son and

"I am being fair-I'm teaching him a life lesson so he can grow up to be a man and face the consequences of his actions without your support."

"Me?" Isabelle said, confused as she placed her right hand on her chest.

"When I went abroad, I told you to support Elliot and not betray my trust because I'll be watching. All you needed to do was to focus on Elliot and care for him so he didn't feel alone." "You were watching me?"

"Yeah, so you should know that lying to me won't work," George said with a sigh." And by the way, instead of arguing with me, you'd better hurry up before that woman gets kicked out of the apartment." +15 BONUS

"What do you mean?"

"You haven't paid rent yet, which is 10 thousand a month."

"What?! That's impossible, it can't cost that much," Roger protested, frightened." Deborah managed with the thousand I gave her for rent and other expenses."

"Oh, you didn't know."

"Know what?" Isabelle asked.

"Deborah paid 200 a month for rent because the landlord lowered it for her."

"So she slept with the landlord," Roger said with disgust.

"God, what a slut, and she dared to call my son

"Isabelle, people's kindness isn't always tied to sexual favors as you're insinuating, George scolded her. "And for your information, that building belongs to a woman close to Mrs. Cooper, someone you've surely seen before," he added, looking at his

son.

"I haven't seen anyone from that family, just that idiot Jayden."

"Oddly enough, don't you remember the old lady who lives two apartments down from yours?"

Roger tried to remember and frowned upon recalling her. "But that old woman isn't the great Mrs. Cooper."

"No, but she's Jayden's nanny, a woman highly regarded by his family. She was the one who requested special treatment for the young woman. The nanny wanted to support the young woman who communicated through sign language and was mistreated by her husband. So Jayden's mother lowered her rent, saying that would be the price until she left the apartment."

Roger was speechless because he didn't know about this.

"It's funny how you always said Deborah would ruin our family name, yet she was the one who brought honor to the Petersons by showing what kind of human being she is, unlike that other woman." "Dad..."

"This is goodbye, Roger. I hope things go well for you in life, and Isabelle, I hope you replace happiness but I don't want to see you again," George said before turning around
