Chapter 1126
Alfred was aware that Tatiana was trying to sacrifice a pawn to secure the big picture. He had
underestimated Olivia's importance to Mason and Linus.
If things went on like this, even Tatiana would get the blame. Abandoning Alfred was a better choice
than getting Tatiana dragged down with him.
Alfred was at a loss. Tatiana was Mason's wife, after all. Even if Mason was angry at her, they would
reconcile soon enough.
But if Alfred exposed Tatiana, he would be offending the entire Heath family. When that happened, he
might be chased out.
So, Alfred took all the blame right away. "Yes, Mrs. Heath did remind me to do that. I was doing a good
job at first, but the room didn't have a heating system.
"I contacted the repairman right away, but he wasn't free to come over today. This is totally out of my
control. My attitude was lacking back then, and I should be punished for mistreating the young lady.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Mr. Heath, Mr. Linus, please forgive me."
As expected, after Alfred said that, Tatiana had a much better expression on her face.
It was only then that she begged, "Alfred has been working with us for so many years, and he has
always worked diligently. He committed a mistake today, but I'm sure he can learn from his mistakes.
"It's a good thing that nothing serious happened."
Krystal muttered, "That's right. It's just a lack of heating, right? It's just a minor issue, so let's not make
mountains out of molehills. Mr. Warner has worked hard for us, and he's like family to us.
"Dad, Linus, you two were just too harsh. Now that you've beat him up and scolded him, are you going
to fire him too?"
"A minor issue?" Mason sneered. "Alright, then. Let's turn off the heating system in Tatiana's and
Krystal's rooms and see how they take it. If the heating system is broken, just change rooms.
"Do we not even have a spare room in our house? Even if every unit was broken, what's wrong with
letting her stay with someone else? Does she even have to sleep in a cold room at all?
"This old man must have gone blind and started taking matters into his own hands. The incident that
happened today can’t be the first, nor will it be the last.
"Alfred, talk to the finance department and get your salary for this month sorted out. As for other
matters, compensation will be made. My family refuses to hire you any longer."
Alfred was completely panicking now.
Grabbing Tatiana's leg, he begged, "Mrs. Heath, please put in a good word for me. I sincerely don't
want to leave the Heath residence!"
Tatiana didn't expect her single sentence to cause Alfred to lose his job.
She hastily said, "Mason, that's too harsh a punishment. Alfred just made a small mistake, so it's not
worth the punishment.
"I am responsible for this incident as well. I was the one who failed to handle it well, so please let Alfred
off just this once.
Krystal said, "That's right, Dad. Look how you treated Mr. Warner just for the sake of an outsider! Your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmreputation will be tainted if word of this gets out."
Mason treated his reputation quite seriously.
Taking a deep breath, Mason said, "Alright, since you want to stay in the Heath residence, you cannot
be the butler anymore.
"From today onward, you're demoted to janitor. You're in charge of cleaning up, trimming the plants,
and doing odd jobs."
Of course, Alfred didn't want to do that. But when he saw Tatiana giving him a look, he nodded. "Alright,
understood."
Mason looked at Linus. "Make arrangements for Vanessa."
"Understood, Father."
"It's cold out here. Mr. Heath, I'll help you inside." Olivia hastily tried to please Mason.
When Olivia and Mason had left, Krystal stomped her feet. Upset, she cursed, "That cunning vixen!"
"Keep it down. Are you trying to cause even more trouble?"
Krystal muttered, "Why are Dad and Linus treating that wench so nicely? I'm even suspecting that
she's Dad's illegitimate daughter now.
By the way, Mom, didn’t Dad have a wife before you?"
