A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin)

Chapter 102

Camila immediately called Erica to ask if she was behind the incident. Erica burst into laughter. "Not me, but she totally deserved it! Haha, karma hits fast, doesn't it?" "If it wasn't you, then it must really be their own fault, Camila said.

"Exactly, it's karma! It's so satisfying. I'd thank that tattooed guy in person if I met him. Can you believe he didn't even take the ten thousand bucks? What a hero!"

Camila hummed in agreement, "Under the Food Safety Act, they'd only be liable for a thousand dollars in compensation. Not taking ten thousand is really suspicious." "Don't overthink it. Just consider it divine intervention sending down a vigilante."

After hanging up, Camila called Cole. "I know the owner of that diner. She opened it there just to spite me. I have no clue about the cockroach incident, but she'll definitely blame me. I'm worried she might retaliate against my mom. Please keep an eye out, Cole, and don't mention this to Mom. I don't want her to worry."

Camila explained the situation. After her mom, Cole was the most trustworthy person.

"So that's what was going on. Don't worry, I'll make sure your mom is safe," Cole reassured her, patting his chest.

Thanks, Cole."

"Let's skip the formalities."

Rubbing her temples, Camila was genuinely worried that Tabitha might take vengeance on her mom.

Indeed, Tabitha wasn't the type to let things slide after a setback. She immediately tried to orchestrate a similar food safety scandal for Claire, but no one dared to take the job. A powerful figure had declared protection over Claire's diner, warning others not to foolishly court death.

Tabitha was furious at home, but Betty harshly slapped her. "Stop making trouble! Your father is still detained because of your antics, and we've lost millions in contracts. How could I have given birth to someone as dull as you? I've cut off all your credit cards. Don't expect another penny from me!"

"You can't just cut off my cards!" Tabitha held her cheek, tears welling in her eyes.

"You're useless! Marry someone soon, and stop embarrassing us!" Betty's finger nearly poked Tabitha's nose. "I've already accepted a proposal from Griffin of Big Win Meats. You're getting married this year."

Betty's words cut deep into Tabitha's heart. "Mom, they are pork sellers! He's nearly fifty, divorced twice, and has three kids. You want me to be their stepmom? I'm only twenty-two!"

"So what if he sells pork? His family owns over a dozen slaughterhouses, and their fresh products hold 20% of the market share at the Fairmount market. Once he's gone, all that money will be yours."

"I won't marry him! Why are you doing this to me?" she screamed, her voice filled with despair and helplessness.

She grabbed a vase nearby and smashed it on the floor. The ceramic shattered into countless pieces, mirroring her shattered state. Then, she picked up a family photo frame from the table and threw it against the wall, glass shards flying everywhere.

"Lock her in her room," Betty instructed the servant. "Once your dad is out, we'll arrange a meeting to set the wedding date!"
