Jade had already started to feel weak, but she didn’t want to admit defeat to Hazel in front of

everyone.

She had always felt that Hazel was just an orphan who went bankrupt over a decade ago. And she thought that

Hazel had no qualifications to act superior in front of her.

Hazel, on the other hand, was not in a hurry to make Jade regret it now.

After all, she had plenty of ttoday.

After asking John to watch by the pool, she turned around to find her three kids. But then, she saw Leila being

held in Gabriel's arms.

Several maids were crying sadly there. There was also one maid who appeared more delicate than the others.

She looked at Gabriel with a face full of grievances.

Hazel raised an eyebrow, wondering, “Is that Gabriel's new lover?”

Gabriel had no idea about Hazel’s thoughts, and if he had known, he would probably have been infuriated.

In fact, just over ten minutes ago, when Hazel was dealing with Jade, Gabriel also learned about the situation

from the children.

Joshua's personality was most similar to Hazel’s.

He preferred to take an eye for an eye, never letting today’s matters carry over to the next day.

As soon as he saw Gabriel coming, he immediately recounted Brian's deed just now and told everything to

Gabriel.

He also told Gabriel about what Jade did and said to Leila just now.

In the end, he said firmly, “Dad, it was Ms. Zeller who bullied Leila first. That’s why Mom taught, her a lesson.

“Dad, Mom did nothing wrong!”

Gabriel nodded.”l know.”

When Joshua knew that Gabriel trusted Hazel, his worries subsided.

a little.

The crowd had already moved to the other side, afraid to accidentally provoke Hazel. From Gabriel's position, he

could clearly see Jade gradually losing strength in the water as well as the pleading look in her eyes.

Suddenly, Leila, who was in Gabriel's arms, tugged at his clothes.

Gabriel immediately looked down at her.

Leila pointed at Jade, who was still struggling in the swimming pool, and then pointed at herself.

“She said | was a little bastard.”

With that, Leila asked Gabriel with a curious look on her face, “Gabriel, what is a little bastard?” When Gabriel

heard the words, his face darkened, and a hint of danger appeared in his eyes. He touched Leila’s disheveled

hair, which was messed up by Jaxon’s suit, and whispered, “Leila, you don’t need to know what that means

because it will never have anything to do with you.”

Leila looked at Gabriel with a puzzled look, thinking, “Adults’ words are really difficult to understand.”

Gabriel squatted down and patted Jaxon’s and Joshua's shoulders, praising them, “You did a job.”

The two boys blushed a bit because of his praise.

great

Gabriel noticed that Leila’s forehead was slightly swollen and asked her what happened, Leila immediately got

down from his arms and walked to the sofa, patting it and saying, “I sat here.”

Then, she pointed at Jade and made a pushing gesture,

She then explained what happened just now with the help of her body gestures. After all, she was too little to

know many words. However, through her actions, Gabriel still understood the process of Jade pushing her.

He immediately sent someone to get a doctor.

Then, he asked Leila with concern, “Was it hurt?”

Leila nodded in grievance.

Gabriel patted her back silently to comfort her, while his gaze coldly swept towards the two bodyguards standing

behind Jaxon and Joshua.

“What were you two doing when Leila was being pushed?” he asked coldly.

“Protecting Jaxon and Joshua,” the two bodyguards answered.

They were telling the truth. In fact, they saw Jade pushing Leila, but they didn’t do anything about

i)

After all, to their knowledge, Jade was Andrew’s wife, while Leila was just a little girl whose father was unknown.

So naturally, they would choose to protect Jaxon and Joshua, not to protect Leila.

They thought that only Jaxon and Joshua were the apple of the Campbell family’s eye. Gabriel saw through the

guilt on the bodyguards’ faces and called for the butler, saying, “The Campbell family does not keep those who

are useless.”

The bodyguards were shocked.“Mr. Campbell!”

On the side, there were several maids who had been bribed by Jade with money. As they witnessed the heartless

dismissal of the bodyguards, their faces turned pale instantly, and they dared not meet Gabriel's eyes.

As soon as Gabriel saw the maids‘ expressions, he knew that they also had something to do with this matter.

So, he said directly, “You're all fired.”

The Campbell family provided high wages and good benefits. Even the living conditions for the servants were

better than those of ordinary families.

Therefore, upon hearing Gabriel's words, those maids all becanxious. “Mr. Campbell! Mr. Campbell, we've

realized our mistakes. Please don’t fire us!” One of the maids, whose makeup was noticeably more delicate than

the others, raised her head

defiantly and said, “I don’t accept this! Why do you fire us? We haven't done anything wrong! “We have been

taking care of Mr. Jaxon and Mr. Joshua wholeheartedly. It was only because there weren't enough staff for the

banquet that we went to help. Mr. Campbell, you can’t dismiss us just because of those bodyguards‘ mistakes!”

This maid spent a lot of money to enter the Campbell's mansion. She was planning to use this opportunity to

approach Gabriel and seduce him.

If it weren't for Gabriel's place not hiring new people, she wouldn't have cto the old mansion

to work as a maid.

She had been doing dirty and tiring work for several months. But just after she finally saw Gabriel, she was about

to get fired. She couldn't accept this outcome! She piped up, “No! Mr. Campbell, you can’t bully us working-class

people just because you have power and influence, can you?”

She thought about the plot she had read in the and felt that it was normal for an overbearing CEO to be

fond of a dauntless female.

And she felt confident that she could win over Gabriel with her captivating figure and appearance.

However, Gabriel didn’t even give her a glance and directly waved his hand towards Ezra. Ezra immediately had

people kick out these maids.

That pretty maid was stunned, exclaiming in her heart, “How could this be? It shouldn't be like this!”

She began to struggle.

The other maids also began to struggle.

Compared to the small amount of money given by Jade, the annual salary that the Campbell family offered was

naturally higher. They didn’t want to lose their jobs here and began to shift the blame.

“Mr. Campbell, it's not our fault! Ms. Zeller gave us 3,000 dollars and asked us to leave for twenty minutes. We

saw that Mr. Jaxon and Mr. Joshua had bodyguards around them, so we weren't too worried.”

“Yes, Mr. Campbell. We thought Ms. Zeller wanted to take this opportunity to spend stwith Mr. Jaxon and

Mr. Joshua. Moreover, we had been keeping an eye on them the whole time. They didn’t get any injuries.”

They just didn’t expect that Jade would harm Leila, and they certainly didn’t expect Gabriel to value Leila so

much. It seemed that Leila’s position in Gabriel's heart was definitely not lower than those of his two sons. This

made these maids panic even more.

In the end, the Campbell family expelled these incompetent and mistake-prone bodyguards and maids.

The guests who cfor the children, as well as those wealthy people who later cout of the banquet hall,

all looked at Gabriel in astonishment. They couldn't believe that Gabriel had actually fired all of those people for

a little girl.

Today was Arthur's birthday. Wouldn't Gabriel's behavior make Arthur unhappy?

For the wealthy and prominent families, causing a big scene in front of the guests was a very embarrassing

thing.

However, Gabriel disregarded the Campbell family’s reputation and directly handled this matter in front of

everyone.

Jade, who was still struggling in the water, saw that Gabriel had no intention of saving her, so she started calling

for help.

Tina saw Jade and quickly ran over, wanting to pull her up. But she was stopped by the Robinson family’s

bodyguards.

Tina pushed them and angrily shouted, “What are you doing? Let go of me! That's my mom! | need to go save

her!”

Meanwhile, Mason, who cwith Tina, was so shocked when he saw John’s face. He couldn't help but take two

steps back in disbelief, his eyes filled with intense fear and unease.

He exclaimed in his heart, “How could this be? Why is he still alive?”
