All Chapters of I Fired the Nanny over a Glass of Water: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

The moment I said it, the hospital room went dead silent.Even my mother-in-law, Pamela Perkins, who was always warm and gracious with everyone, stared at me wide-eyed. She couldn't believe I'd say something like that to Amy Wheeler, the nanny who had saved my own son, Samuel Gable."Mabel, Amy was burned across 80% of her body saving Samuel, and all he felt was a slight burning sensation in his fingers because she protected him."She's lying in the ICU because she saved him, and you can still say something so heartless? You really are cold-blooded, just like when you drove your own grandmother to her death fighting your brother over the family inheritance."Pamela looked at Sophia Locke with sympathy. Sophia was Amy's daughter and had taken time off from college to be at the hospital."Sophia, you've seen what your mother went through to save Samuel. If you're willing, I'd like to take you in as my own granddaughter and welcome you into the Gable family."Tears streamed down Sop

I looked at the reporter, completely unfazed. "You all just watched my bodyguard fail to do the job I hired him to do. Thanks to you, he won't be getting the money he needed for his daughter's treatment."That only made the crowd hate me more. Still, they were ordinary people. They couldn't do a thing to me.Then a young woman spoke up. "Everyone, that's enough. We came here to visit Ms. Wheeler, remember? Sooner or later, justice will be served."Her daughter majors in law. If they decide to take this to court, they may already have enough evidence. Let's not make this any harder on them."Before long, Amy's hospital room was packed with people.Amy lay motionless in bed. The visible skin on her face, hands, and arms was covered in horrific burns. Sophia was nowhere to be seen.As soon as the crowd spotted me, whispers broke out.Just then, Amy pretended to wake up. She looked at me with wounded eyes, her voice anxious. "Mrs. Gable, did I do something wrong?"As I watched her

The elderly man suddenly put it all together. His face went pale, and he clutched his chest before collapsing. His family glared furiously at Amy.Seeing the hatred on everyone's faces, Amy knew her deception had been exposed. She tried to sneak around the far side of the bed and escape, but the furious crowd blocked the doorway.They finally realized that Amy had manipulated them into attacking me. Ashamed of what they had done, they began apologizing to me.The reporter who had grilled me earlier lowered her eyes."I'm sorry, Ms. Sadler. I accused you without bothering to verify the facts. Today taught me that I want to be a reporter who tells the truth. Would you still be willing to let me interview you?"I smiled. "Of course."By then, Amy had been taken to the police station and would have to answer for what she had done.As soon as Sophia learned that Amy's lies had been exposed, she disappeared, terrified that people would start looking into her as well.In this life, Am

Meanwhile, the moment Sophia learned that Farlow Group had publicly denied any connection to Amy, she went straight to Ivan. He refused even to look at her.Sophia begged him through her tears. "Ivan, how can you just leave my mother in jail? Everything she did was for you! I gave you my virginity, and now I'm pregnant with your child."Do you really want our baby to grow up with his grandmother in prison?"Ivan finally turned to her, irritation written all over his face."Sophia, I already have a fiancée. Stop going around telling people that baby is mine. If my fiancée hears about this, she'll be furious. Besides, how should I know who the father is?"For all I know, it could be Samuel. Your mother worked for the Gables for years, so you must have spent plenty of time at their house. You could've been sleeping with Samuel behind everyone's backs."And I never had any intention of marrying you. I'm not about to let people find out that my mother-in-law used to work as a nanny."
