Chapter 1250 “Mr. Collins, | honestly have no idea what you're talking about,” Martha stubbornly insisted, “I'm getting on in years and my memory isn't what it used to be. If you're accusingof something, at least remindof what | did or said. Otherwise, | honestly don't know what you're referring to." Seeing her refusal to admit any wrongdoing, Hans replied coldly, "It seems like you've been bullying Bella behind my back in addition to what happened in that video. Pack your things, Martha. Serena is all grown up now. She doesn't need you anymore." Martha was taken aback by Hans's words. Before she could react, he had already hung up the phone.

Hans was firing her? He was kicking her out of the house?! Martha couldn't believe what she had heard. It took her a while to recover from the shock before she could call Hans back.

Hans didn't pick up her calls.

After a few failed attempts, Martha, trembling, sent Hans a voice message.

“Mr. Collins, I've been loyal and diligent in this house for eighteen years. Now you want to firejust like that? What exactly happened that led to such a severe misunderstanding? | can explain" Five minutes passed.

Half an hour passed.

Hans didn't respond. Not even a single punctuation mark.

Martha clutched her phone, her heart pounding.

Hans must have seen that video. Otherwise, he wouldn't have decided to fire her so abruptly! She remembered the incident which still made her restless.

It was a long tago.

Holly, one of the maids, had just finished washing the garden's pavement. She maliciously spilled two buckets of cooking oil on the wet ground, hoping to send Arabella sprawling when she returned hfrom work.

Under the sunlight, the large area of oil looked just like water, blending perfectly with the other puddles on the ground. Unless someone looked closely, it was hard to tell which was oil and which was water.

She thought she had executed her plan flawlessly. But half an hour later, Arabella returned hfrom work and walked through the garden's main path into the main house, unscathed.

Martha and Serena were watching from behind the curtains. Both of them couldn't believe that Arabella had managed to avoid slipping and had safely reached them.

Arabella told Serena that Mr. McMillian was waiting outside the house, wanting to have a word with her.

Serena was overjoyed because back then, she dreamed of even exchanging a few words with Mr. McMillian.

Afraid that Serena might slip, Martha followed her footsteps. Even though they treaded carefully, they inevitably fell.

Serena was the first to slip, and when Martha tried to catch her, she failed and fell as well.

In the end, they were carried into the living room, where they laid on the couch, wailing in pain.

This incident alarmed Mr. and Mrs. Collins.

At first, Mrs. Collins felt distressed towards Serena's injury, but when Holly and Lily implied that the person behind Serena's fall should be found and pointed the finger at Bella, Mrs. Collins lost her temper.

Martha never expected that Arabella would be able to recover the deleted surveillance footage! Who knew what kind of tricks she had learned outside! The surveillance footage later proved Arabella's innocence. It was Martha who had accidentally tripped over the doorstep and spilled the oil, causing both her and Serena to fall.

Because of this, Mrs. Collins docked a month's worth of Martha's salary. Lily and Holly were also fired.
