Chapter 1996

Hannah collapsed, shouting, "What right do you have to drag me out? Why aren't you paying me my salary?!"

But no matter how loudly she screamed, no one showed her pity or sympathy.

Seeing Hannah being dragged from the supermarket, the guilty manager said to Charlie Wade and Jacob Wilson, “I’m very sorry about this. I used the wrong person. I apologize to both of you.”

Jacob Wilson nodded. “The main fault isn’t yours, but you are partly to blame. It was improper use of personnel.”

He sighed. “Ultimately, your judgment was poor.”

Then, turning to someone (presumably his mother), he said, “Mom, are you getting paid for half a day's work? If so, give me some money. I'll buy some steamed buns and cook dinner.”

Wendy’s eyes reddened, and she sobbed, “Dad and my brother have cried themselves to sleep from hunger several times. It’s so pitiful…”

Hearing this, Hannah wailed and pounded her chest. “It’s all that bastard Jacob Wilson’s fault! I was kicked out by the manager and worked all morning without receiving a penny!”
