nervously at Nathaniel, who was visibly upset and calling out for Cecilia.
Unable to bear the tension, she finally spoke up. “Ms. Smith might not be coming back for a few days. She
instructedto take care of the elderly.”

you? | don’t care-you’ll have to pay extra!”
Nathaniel’s patience snapped. His voice dropped to a menacing tone, “Get lost.”
The caregiver was taken aback by his sudden outburst. “Why are you yelling? | was personally invited by Ms.
Smith. No one else has the right to fire me!” she argued. “Besides, if you fire me, who will take care of the
woman?”
Ten minutes later, several bodyguards who had been discreetly positioned around the house emerged and
promptly escorted the caregiver out.
The commotion outside startled Martha, who had been resting. She got up to see what was happening and found

The room erupted in laughter as Martha's words echoed in the air. With a firm hand, she pulled out smoney
from her pocket and tossed it in front of the woman. “Here's
