Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 1411

Beryl lowered her head, her ears turning red. "Mom, don't think too much. My boss really just feels that it's not easy for me to study and work while also dealing with my father's illness, so he helped..."

"He casually helps others?" If it were any other day before meeting Marcellus, Wallis might have believed it, but now she saw through the act. "Let's say, even if he had good intentions, which boss cares so much about an employee's mother?"

No matter how warm-hearted someone might be, they wouldn't have shown such care, especially after Marcellus's recent display.

Wallis was an experienced person, and she had seen through this kind of trick.

Beryl had no room for sophistry. As soon as she thought about how her subtle interactions with Marcellus just now had been noticed by Wallis, she felt embarrassed and had nowhere to hide her face.

Seeing her daughter's silence, Wallis knew that her suspicion was probably correct. Her heart sank to the bottom, "Are you really having an inappropriate relationship with your boss?"

"No!" Beryl hurriedly explained, "Mom, my relationship with my boss is very clean. There's nothing between us, but we do have mutual feelings for each other."

She put it in a more tactful way, afraid that any specific wording might lead to more misunderstandings.

"He's so much older than you and a successful man. What kind of girl hasn't he seen? Why would he like a student like you?" Wallis became more and more uneasy. "You haven't been deceived, have you?"

"Oh, Mom, you're really misunderstanding." Beryl became anxious, feeling frantic. "With his wealth and status, why would he need to deceive me? There's no benefit in it for him... Besides, do you really doubt me like this?"

Even though she said that Wallis still couldn't rest assured. "Beryl, you are all by yourself studying here, and we worry about you so much. It would be best to end whatever relationship you have with Mr. Perkins as soon as possible. I will make sure to pay back the money and interest as soon as possible. You don't need to get involved in between."
