Chapter 629
Chapter 629 Disconnect from Cinder
"Mr. Morris, although we have an employer- employee relationship within the family, I believe I should be entitled to the same treatment as the employees in your company. I got injured on the job, and now I am making a small request. Can't you really fulfill it?"
When I first heard Jenny's absurd statement, I was momentarily stunned, and then I kindly asked her how much compensation she wanted
Little did I know, the person on the other end of the phone suddenly sounded aggrieved, with a tearful voice telling me that what she wanted was not any monetary compensation, but just for me to show some concern for her, even if only as an employer
Shit! Otherwise?
Was she really expecting me to care about her in any other capacity, not as an employer?
Did you just say it so blatantly?
No, even as an employer, I had the responsibility and obligation to take responsibility for her injury, but only limited to monetary compensation
As for the rest, if she didn't resort to moral blackmail, I would provide what she asked for
Aaron Morris hated it when people used emotions as a guise to threaten him
I angrily hung up the phone and then got up to retrieve the personal items that Jenny had
mentioned, along with the cash compensation for her work injury that I intended to give her. I quickly called the driver to come and take it to her
The hospital she lived in was in the city center, and I admit that when I chose to send her there, it was because I didn't want her to bother me too much
In fact, it was already dark at the moment, and I had to take care of two daughters, so it was impossible for me to personally solve any problems she raised
Just as I was thinking like this, the doorbell suddenly rang
I was somewhat surprised at how quickly the driver had arrived this time. I picked up the package and walked towards the door. But
when I opened it, to my astonishment, standing outside was Cinder, whom I hadn't seen in a long time
Since the last time the children's first birthday party was over, she has started a new round of work. Not to mention me, even Olive probably hasn't seen her for quite a long time
Cinder stood at the door, looking at me with a displeased expression. Her gaze quickly fell on the package in my hands, and she shrugged her shoulders with some surprise
"What are you going to do? Aaron, what's going on with you and your wife? Olive hasn't been in touch since her business trip, and now you're leaving again? What about the two children? Are you really comfortable leaving them with the so- called nanny? She's the one who will be taking care of your daughter alone!"

A series of questions came at me like a barrage, and I managed to catch a few of them
"This thing... was for our nanny, who happened to get injured and hospitalized. So now, it's not her who is taking care of the two children, but me."
I was talking while putting things on the cabinet at the entrance, then I turned sideways and made a gesture to invite Cinder in, asking her not to stand outside the door anymore
Her appearance reminded me exactly that during this period, I had been busy searching for people and never thought of asking Cinder whether she had any contact with OliveNôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
However, through the conversation just now, it is obvious that she, as Olive's best friend, has also lost contact with her
Marilyn, that fool, only pretended for a while before revealing her true colors. Afterwards, Olive truly disappeared from everyone's lives
This made me even more worried, but I still didn't forget to ask Cinder, "When was the last time you had contact with Olive?"
This time, the answer surprised me
She took out the chat records from her phone, and the time when Olive last replied to her message was much later than when I recetved Olive's reply
I carefully recalled and realized that at that time, I had already gone to Tokyo and even discovered that the person staying in the Tokyo hotel was not the real Olive
Cinder hesitated for a moment and added,
"Although we used to communicate every day, sometimes I would feel something was off
Olive's habit of sending messages would occasionally undergo subtle changes, such as her previously meticulous use of punctuation
However, recently, she suddenly started mixing up commas and periods, as if someone was imitating her tone while messaging me, but revealing flaws due to lack of proficiency."
She said that she also couldn't figure it out after thinking for a few days because of this, so she chose to ask me, but she didn't expect that I had already lost contact with Olive
"T discovered it earlier than you did. Now that you have also noticed, it is most likely because the other party knew that you had some awareness, so they simply gave up on maintaining contact with you to create a good illusion for Olive."
I felt a bit helpless, but I had to pour this bucket of cold water on Cinder
