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.
“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 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 reputation 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?”
