Chapter 1731

Chapter 1731 Betrayed

Anyway, I was not as noble as Joseph.

“How dare you try to shift the blame to the innocent? You were the one who slapped Joseph three

times. Chanaea is a place of law. Do you really think you can bend the truth as you want?”

Rebecca displayed a cold smile. “Sue me then. Come on!”

Her rogue face awakened my profession as a lawyer. My mind thought about whether to use the labor

law or the personal safety protection regulations to file a lawsuit against her. Yet, in the end, I could

only stare at her helplessly.

Indeed, she got the point. Without Joseph’s cooperation, there was nothing I could do.

Noticing that, Rebecca continued to provoke fearlessly. “Why? Are you afraid? I thought you were a

talented lawyer, but you’re just a woman who relies on men. There’s not much difference between you

and me. At least, I will own up to it. How about you? You acted like you were a kind and independent

woman, but all facts are to the contrary. You’re a bloody hypocrite! You…”

“Enough.” Ashton’s voice put the whole room into dead silence. Rebecca indignantly swallowed back

her words.

The atmosphere in the corridor turned extremely tense. A while later, Ashton broke the silence again.

He shifted his gaze toward Joseph, who was waiting for his order. “Go to the HR department for the

transfer procedure. You will go to the branch office in Smealand today.”

Joseph kept silent for a while, but he did not rebuke. “Okay.”

Is that how Ashton treats a partner who worked for the company for over ten years? Joseph is the

victim here. How could Ashton cast him out only to please Rebecca? This is absurd!

I could not bear to see Joseph getting mistreated. “No way. I’m afraid I have to disagree with this.

Joseph is not going anywhere. He will stay here in K City! Ashton, are you out of your mind? I know

you feel that you owe Rebecca, but Joseph is innocent. How could you make him pay for what you did?

And do you know how unreasonable Rebecca was just now…”

Ashton did not let me finish my sentence. “It’s included in his salary.”

He looked me in the eyes and repeated to make sure I heard it. “I pay him a high salary. With that, I

buy not only his working ability but also his pride.”

I could not believe those words came out of Ashton’s mouth.

Use the money to buy someone’s pride? How could he say such a thing? He’s changed totally. I can’t

believe this is part of his plan. He keeps letting me down.

Noticing my expression, Rebecca clapped her hands in rejoice. “Bravo. That’s indeed the man I used to

like. Compared to me doing it myself, it’s more exciting to watch you teaching them a lesson for me!

Hahaha…”

What a lunatic!

Just then, Nora, who had been keeping silent, suddenly walked up to me. She pretended to tidy my

hair as she whispered to me. “If I were you, I won’t stay here any longer. Do you know what status we

are now? We’re the shareholders of Fuller Corporation. That’s right. Nat and I are now the big

shareholders. We’ve bought your shares!”

I narrowed my eyes, trying to recall if I had recently signed any crucial documents. “That’s impossible.

Without my signature, Ashton has no right to access our shared assets.”
