Chapter 143 Chapter 143: "What should we do? Are we really not getting paid this month? I need the money to pay my daughter's school fees." "My mom's hospital bills are so high every month. Without this salary, I don't know how I'll manage." Stried to comfort the others. "We just have to accept it. Mr. Burke usually treats us well. He may seem distant and strict, but he pays better than most employers." Yvonne quickly realized the key point-none of them had been paid this month. She went straight to Leif. "Was it Norton who deducted their salaries?" Leif looked away, clearly avoiding her eyes.

That meant she was right.

Yvonne's hands shook with anger. "Where's Jorge? He's worked here for almost half his life. Where did he go?" "Mr. Burke said Jorge was getting old, so he gave him smoney to go hand rest.” "What?" Yvonne's eyes burned with fury. Rest? Norton made it seem like a kind gesture, but he was clearly just pushing Jorge out.

"How can Norton be this cruel? I know I messed up, but that was my mistake alone. Why punish the household staff because of me? I need to talk to him." Yvonne turned, ready to march out.

Just then, a deep voice echoed behind her. "And how exactly do you plan to confront me?" It was Norton himself. He had returned.

Yvonne couldn't stay still any longer-she rushed forward.

"Norton, I take full responsibility for everything. I know you're angry at them for keeping you in the dark, but none of this is their fault. Every wrong decision, every mistake—it was all mine. If you want to punish someone, punish me. Just don't make them suffer for my choices." Her earlier sharpness was gone as she clutched his sleeve, her voice almost pleading.

I shouldn't have brought another man home. I shouldn't have been jealous of Shelly. And I definitely shouldn't have taken your favorite car and wrecked it." She bit her lip before continuing, “And above all, I shouldn't have married you. I took away your chance to be with the person you truly love. That was my biggest mistake. From now on, no matter how many women you have-whether it's Shelly or someone else, I won't interfere. The household staff doesn't earn much, but they rely on their wages to survive. Please, give them their pay." After saying this, Yvonne bowed deeply once again.

This time, it was Norton who was caught off guard.

Ever since they got married, they had clashed over everything. The content isom novelenglish.net! She had never backed down before.

But now, she wasn't fighting for herself-she was fighting for others, owning up to her mistakes without hesitation.

Norton's silence made Yvonne even more uneasy. "And Jorge... he's spent his whole life serving your family. He never married, never had a family of his own. Sending him away like this is cruel. Please, bring him back and let him spend his old age in comfort. I'm begging you, Norton."
