I Gave Birth to a Pair of Twins

: You're Fired

3

I looked at the closed door. Joyce Thorne must have realized her one-woman show wasn't working, so she called for backup.

"It's just a chicken leg. Do the two sisters really need to be so petty? Especially Julie, she's the older sister. Can't she just let her little sister have it?"

I leisurely sipped my tea before speaking. "I'm planning to make an investment recently. As it happens, your brother's company has a pretty good project, so I invested $7 million in it."

"What!"

He immediately grew anxious on the other end of the line. "Don't you know my company needs money too? I'm on this business trip specifically to secure funding! How could you invest our money elsewhere?"

"It's only $7 million. Do you two brothers really need to be so petty? Especially you, you're the older brother. Can't you just let your little brother have it?"

I threw his own words right back at him. The other end of the line fell silent.

"It's not scarcity that people resent, but inequality. They are both my children. Why should one sister get something the other can't have? Over time, what do you think Julie will feel?"

I was about to say more when I suddenly looked up and saw the reflection of Melody Hale standing behind me in the glass.

"Let's leave it at that for now. Come back soon. There's something I need to talk to you about."

After hanging up, Melody Hale walked in cautiously.

"Madam, I've prepared the list."

She handed me a printed spreadsheet.

I had to admit, Melody Hale was very good in some respects. The spreadsheet she made was clear and easy to understand.

"You're so capable. Being a nanny in our home is a bit of a waste of your talents."

Hearing this, Melody Hale immediately broke into a smile.

But the next second, I continued, "You're so outstanding, you could shine anywhere. So you don't need to stay in our home any longer."

"Madam, what do you mean? Why are you firing me out of the blue?"

"Let's not even talk about how you can't even get the portions right when you cook. Before you came here, the housekeeping agency should have trained you. Don't you know about protecting your employer's privacy? You're so good at making short videos, it's a real shame you're not a full-time influencer."

Melody Hale's face went pale. She probably never expected that I would know she was filming videos to make extra money on the side.

After all, in my past life, I only found out about it many years later.

Melody Hale shared her daily life online, her selling point being what it's like to be a nanny for a wealthy family.

She frequently filmed the inside of my home and even snuck into my bedroom to shoot videos several times when I wasn't there.

Because of the luxurious environment and easy work, she attracted the envy of a large number of netizens.

So, she leveraged her online traffic to start live-streaming and selling products.

She completely forgot about the privacy agreement I had her sign when we made the contract.

But I didn't have a habit of scrolling through short-form videos, so I never discovered it.

"I will give you severance pay. You can pack your things and leave my house."

Melody Hale looked at me in terror, tears instantly welling up in her eyes.

"Madam, you know my family's situation. By doing this, you're trying to kill me."
