When Heinz came out of the ward, he happened to meet Susan, who went to prepare a meal.

She also saw Heinz and immediately stepped forward respectfully and said, "Mr. Jones, you are here again?"

Heinz nodded.

"Mr. Jones, it's better for you not to visit." She added kindly, "You shouldn't get involved in this matter anymore."

She knew that it was Heinz's money that she was taking, so she reminded him.

"I know, I won't come again," Heinz replied. "In the future, everything about the Lawson family has nothing to do with me. I don't want to interfere in the affairs of their family. As for your salary, I want to settle things with you. In the future, it is up to you whether you want to work with them or not, but I will no longer pay for your salary. However, I will give you another month's salary before this happens."

She was startled and immediately shook her head, "If you aren't paying for my salary, then I won't be helping in the Lawson family anymore. I'll go somewhere else."

Heinz was stunned. "Did they cause you trouble?"

"Mr. Jones, I think I'd better go somewhere else. I'm already very grateful that you can pay for the previous salary. It doesn't matter even if you don't pay. You gave me a lot in the past, but if I was to deal with the Lawson family alone, I would rather not be their help anymore," she said.

"Okay! It's up to you." Heinz smiled. "Later, I will ask my assistant to contact you and transfer all the salary to your bank account."

"Thank you, Mr. Jones. It's been nice knowing you," she thanked Heinz.

Heinz nodded and turned to leave.

Susan went into the ward and saw Jodie shouting hysterically. She was also startled.

"What's going on?"

As soon as Nathan and Pearlyn saw her, they immediately felt angry. There was no place for them to vent their anger just now. Hence, they vented on her. "Get out. Can't you see that you can't enter now? What an uncivilized person."

When Susan saw this, she immediately retorted, "Fine. I want to inform both of you that I don't want to work for you anymore."

After that, she put the dinner on the table and walked away.

"Where are you going?" Pearlyn stopped her.

Susan stopped in her tracks and said, "I don't want to work for you anymore. I want to go back to my hometown. You can hire someone else."

To work for someone like this wasn't a good idea. Previously, for the sake of money, she had been enduring it. The moment the Lawson family's daughter returned, the two elders of the Lawson family would always curse at her. Hence, she didn't want to work forthem anymore.

When Pearlyn heard that Susan was about to leave, she immediately frowned. "Do you think this is the right time to leave? Susan, what you are doing is adding fuel to the fire. You've been working at my house for so long. Even if you leave, you should tell us earlier. What should we do now? If you leave now, I won't pay you any salary."

Susan burst into laughter when she heard that. She stared at Pearlyn coldly and rebutted, "Mrs. Lawson, it seems like I've never received a salary from your family. It's always been Mr. Jones who pays me." Pearlyn's expression changed. "That was also for our sake." "That's right!" She nodded and admitted, "I did do it for your sake before. Mr. Jones has paid my full salary today, and he won't give me any salary in the future, so I have to go now."

"Of course, it was indeed my fault that I suddenly left. According to the agency's requirements, I should inform you earlier, but I really can't work with your family anymore. Now, I'm officially telling you that I'm quitting this job. It would be best if you start looking for someone else," Susan added.

"I'll give you three days. If you still can't replace anyone, I'll leave anyway."

Susan turned around and walked out of the room. Mrs. Lawson stood there in a daze, feeling wronged for a long time. In the end, she could only sigh helplessly.

Jodie was still sitting on the ground and crying sadly.

Aaron, who had been standing there all this time, glanced at her parents and nodded slightly to them. Without saying anything, he turned around and left.

As if sensing that Aaron was about to leave, Jodie suddenly panicked.

She suddenly rushed over and hugged Aaron's leg, shouting, "Aaron, don't go. If you leave me, what should I do?"

Looking at Jodie, who was holding his leg, a trace of sorrow flashed through Aaron's dark eyes. He answered coldly, "Jodie, I am not a 'fallback guy'. You will only think of me when others abandon you. I really don't want to be your second choice anymore."

After he said that, he squatted and looked at Jodie.

This woman was beautiful, but she was also very troublesome.

He shook his head and eyed Jodie sympathetically. Then, he reached out and forcefully pried Jodie's hand away.

"No!" Jodie shook her head and clutched Aaron tightly.

"It's time for me to go, Jodie. You have been able to live well over the past six years without me. Even without Heinz, you can live well, too. Naturally, you will survive this," Aaron said word by word. "Where are you going?" Jodie looked at Aaron in astonishment, with her face full of tears and shock.

Could it be that Aaron was leaving her too?

Jodie could not believe this fact.

Aaron claimed seriously, "Six years ago, I took you to Alsburg. Six years later, I finally brought you back. I have done everything I can. Hence, now it's time to end things. I just want to start over again." "No! No!" Jodie still couldn't believe it and shook her head. "Aaron, don't you want me anymore?"

Aaron shook his head and replied, "I've never abandoned you. It's you who always treats me as a back-up. I don't want to have such a status anymore, so I'm letting this end. I've never really had you before, and this will also be what it is in the future."

Therefore, he insisted on leaving.

Nathan and Pearlyn also felt very awkward when they saw this situation.

They stopped Aaron and Pearlyn butted in, "Since you have been with my daughter for so many years, you have to take responsibility."

Aaron smiled and thought it was funny. He looked at Pearlyn and said, "Did you want to set me up with your daughter after Heinz left? Do you know that your daughter is not short of men in Alsburg for the past six years?"

"What do you mean?" Nathan exclaimed in shock.

Aaron did not have any ill intentions. He just answered lightly, "You can ask your daughter."

After finishing his words, Aaron nodded slightly again and left.

Nathan and Pearlyn were both stunned and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

When they came back to their senses, they looked at Jodie and asked, "Jodie, what's going on? What have you done all these years?"

Jodie looked at the empty room and saw that her aged parents looked sad and lonely. She shed tears unconsciously.

She got up from the ground, tidied herself up and told her parents, "Don't ask further. I won't say anything."

"Jodie, what is wrong with you?" Pearlyn was also shocked. "You pretended to be dead for six years. What's going on?"

"Stop asking. I won't tell." Jodie pursed her lips tightly and changed the topic. "I'll leave first. I'm going home."
