That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

“So what if he didn’t know? All the herbal suppliers in Seacrest listen to Leer’s Group. They cut ties with Olivia, and we at the Whitaker Group are just following suit.”

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end before a confident reply came.

Hearing this, Alf felt a chill run through his heart, realizing he had been deceived. But now it was too late to change anything.

“If Mr. Whitaker asks…” Alf hesitated, seeking the other person’s opinion.

Another moment of silence followed before a vague response came, “Just tell him the truth. If he’s asking you, it means he’s still unclear about Leer’s Group’s actions. Explain it to him.”

Before Alf could respond, the call was abruptly ended.

Alf broke out in a cold sweat.

Although the other person didn’t say it outright, Alf wasn’t a fool. He could tell that this matter had been kept from Isaac from the start.

He had been dragged into this mess and now couldn’t afford to offend either side…

By the time the car stopped at the Whitaker Estate’s entrance, Alf still hadn’t thought of a good excuse to absolve himself. He could only brace himself and knock on the villa door.

Soon, the butler opened the door and respectfully said, “Mr. Shepherd, Mr. Whitaker and the master have been waiting for you for quite some time.”

Hearing this, Alf’s back was drenched in cold sweat, and he found it hard to lift his legs.

He had thought only Isaac would be questioning him, but he hadn’t expected Liam to be involved as well.

This matter was far more serious than he had imagined.

But there was no turning back now, he had to face it.

Alf followed the butler into the living room, keeping his head down.

For a long while, no one spoke.

Nervously, Alf glanced at the people sitting on the sofa.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

He saw Liam leaning on his cane, his face full of anger, glaring at him with wide eyes.

Beside him, Isaac sat expressionless, exuding an intimidating aura.

Meeting their gazes, Alf couldn’t help but shiver. “Mr. Whitaker, Liam…”

Isaac spoke coldly, “From your expression, you should already know why I called you here.”

Alf nodded awkwardly. “Yes… it’s about Dr. Prescott’s research institute’s herbal supply.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud thud as someone slammed the table.

Alf’s heart tightened, and he pressed his hands firmly against his sides, not daring to move.

“Since you know, why did you act behind my back?” Isaac glanced at the furious Liam beside him and questioned coldly, “Alf, I’ve always trusted you, which is why I entrusted you with all matters related to herbal supplies. Now you’ve done this, how do you plan to explain yourself?”

Alf admitted his mistake. “Mr. Whitaker, I didn’t think it through. I’ll personally apologize to Dr. Prescott and arrange for the needed herbs to be delivered as soon as possible!”

Isaac’s face remained stern, his tone laced with anger. “Do you think you can gloss over this with ‘I didn’t think it through’?”

Alf had always been one of Isaac’s trusted subordinates. So when Isaac learned that Alf had refused Olivia’s people, his first reaction was that Alf had been manipulated and he only intended to call him over to find out the reason.

But he hadn’t expected Alf to face him with such an attitude!

Knowing full well why he had been summoned yet remaining silent about who was behind this!

“Mr. Whitaker, I…” Alf was caught in a dilemma.

Both were his superiors, he couldn’t afford to offend either. He thought he could take responsibility for this matter himself but hadn’t anticipated that Isaac was determined to find out who had instructed him to act this way.
