Chapter 45

“So what? You were giving 19 thousand to your mistress, so it shouldn’t be difficult to come up with that money for yourself.” 

“I could pay that amount if you give me back my job.” 

“No, Roger. That’s your punishment: you’ll find a job like everyone else to support your mistress and pay child support to Deborah, without my financial help.” 

“Wait… what do you mean by finding a job?” Roger asked, alarmed. 

“You need to find employment because you’re fired from the company.” 

“What?!” Both Isabelle and Roger were shocked. 

“George, isn’t that a little excessive? Roger is your son and-”

“What do you mean?” 

“You haven’t paid rent yet, which is 10 thousand a month.” 

“What?! That’s impossible, it can’t cost that much,” Roger protested, frightened. ” Deborah managed with the thousand I gave her for rent and other expenses.” 

“Oh, you didn’t know.” 

“Know what?” Isabelle asked. 

“Deborah paid 200 a month for rent because the landlord lowered it for her.” 

“So she slept with the landlord,” Roger said with disgust. 

“God, what a slut, and she dared to call my son 

“Isabelle, people’s kindness isn’t always tied to sexual favors as you’re insinuating, George scolded her. “And for your information, that building belongs to a woman close to Mrs. Cooper, someone you’ve surely seen before,” he added, looking at his
