Susan sighed.
As Johnathan was the workers’ representative, naturally, his resignation would set off a chain of mass resignations
among them.
Without any employees, the company would be reduced to nothing but an empty shell.
This time, the situation was beyond remedy.
However, despite all that, Zeke didn’t seem to be bothered at all. In fact, he looked carefree and still had the mood
to smoke a cigarette.
His frosty demeanor only angered the workers further, who followed in Johnathan’s footsteps to quit.
Right at that moment, Zeke’s car door opened.
It was Laura who alighted.
She shouted, “Johnathan! Stay where you are.”
When Johnathan saw that it was Laura, he was utterly shocked.
He quickly ran up to her and asked, “Mom, what are you doing here instead of the hospital?”
“I have enough money for the surgery now. Let me send you to the hospital for the operation.”

Laura unexpectedly gave Johnathan a slap without any hesitation. “You b*****d! Apologize to Mr. Williams now.”
Johnathan was puzzled as to why he was slapped. “Mom, why did you hit me?”
“Also, why should I apologize to him? He owed us our salary and beat us up...”
Laura interrupted, “Shut up, do you know that you are being ungrateful?”
Johnathan was utterly confused. “Mom, what are you talking about? How am I being ungrateful when we don’t owe
anything to the new boss?”
Laura explained, “Have you forgotten that you owed the hospital a lot of money for the bills? Today, the hospital
evicted me, and even hurt me.”
“At the crucial moment, I was saved by Mr. Williams.”
“Also, he treated my sickness for free and has healed me.”
Of course, Laura wasn’t just insisting Johnathan apologize out of gratitude.
The main reason was that since even the mayor needed Zeke’s help, she thought that it wasn’t a good idea to
offend someone so influential.
What!
Johnathan stared at Laura in disbelief.
He could see that she looked a lot better than before, there were hardly any signs of sickness left.
In fact, she looked younger by ten years.
In addition, when Laura dragged Johnathan towards Zeke, he noticed that his mother’s steps were a lot sturdier
now. In fact, she even seemed light on her feet.
The change was so drastic that he wondered if she was really his mother.
As between now and then, she felt like two different persons.
Bowing to Zeke, Laura apologized, “Mr. Williams, I’m very sorry for my son’s inability to distinguish fact from fiction.
This whole incident is his responsibility.”
“Do whatever you want to him as long as you can vent your frustration.”
“Johnathan, apologize to Mr. Williams now!”
Johnathan was still confused about what was going on. Everything had happened so fast that he couldn’t get up to
speed.
When Jacob realized that the tide was turning, he shot a glance at blondie.
Blondie acknowledged it and sprang into action. He bellowed, “Johnathan, you cannot apologize.”

“Don’t forget, they owe us our salary and beat us up...”
Looking at blondie, Zeke sneered, “Owe you your wages? Haha, let me ask you, which department do you belong
to? What’s your role in the company and who is your supervisor?”
Hadley had informed Zeke earlier about the situation among the workers.
Blondie and the other seven “employees” were simply hoodlums brought in by Jacob to masquerade as staff.
Jacob had instructed them to sow discord between the management and workers.
It would be even better if there was a fight.
Meanwhile, blondie was speechless in the face of Zeke’s incessant questions.
As they had zero understanding of the company, they couldn’t even tell a proper lie even if they wanted to.
Laura looked at blondie and his men with a scowl and said, “I’m in charge of the company cafeteria and know
almost everyone here. But I have not seen these guys before.”
Finally, Johnathan felt that something was amiss and quickly interrogated blondie, “Speak! which department are
you from? Who’s your supervisor?”
