Terrible Betrayal: I Shut Down My Startup Overnight

In my startup life, I was juggling multiple roles and working my fingers to the bone.

Before long, my mom introduced me to her bestie's daughters to join my company.

"Victoria," she said, "Isabel is my best friend. You can trust her daughters. I vouch for Morgan and Phoebe's character; they're as good as gold!"

As soon as I made them permanent, they pulled out pregnancy test results.

"Ms. Garcia, we've both had unexpected pregnancies and need to take leave to rest at home," they said.

"What if I don't agree?"

"Well, we'd have no choice but to take legal action."
