Joseph was still shouting, "You see, Charles feared that my father will take away his position as CEO, so he deliberately ordered Hiram to orchestrate a car accident that will crush my father to death. Woooh!"
Joseph dreaded the possibility of Derick's untimely demise because that meant no one would be left to take charge of the company.
If he took over the business, he would be swamped with work and would always be exhausted.
If he was always busy with work, how would he have time for flings?
Thinking about it made him dizzy. Of course, his concern for his father could not be denied. In fact, what Derrick told him that morning still lingered in his mind.
Charles was furious. "Joseph, if you keep talking nonsense, you will curse your father to death. It won't be the car accident that will take his life."
Joseph squatted down, covered his face with his hands and cried, "I am not cursing my father to death. You killed him! Charles, you are a murderer!"
"Mr. Fu, is this really the case?"
"Mr. Fu, why did Hiram meet with Derrick this morning? As far as I know, they take different routes to work."
"Yes, we heard that Derrick knew about the affair of Edward and Nancy. Did you plan to silence him to keep their secret?"
The journalists' questions made Charles' expression grim.
Nancy, on the other hand, froze in shock.
There were too many rumors going around. If those stories persisted, they would be perceived later on as the truth.
Public opinion tended to be ruthless.
Nancy was left with no choice but to call the police.
Nudged by the reporters, Joseph stood and took a lunge at Charles.
Instinctively, Hiram blocked Joseph's attack. He couldn't let him do anything reckless.
Knowing that Hiram was injured, Charles shoved him aside. As he did, the stick in Joseph's hand hit Charles on the neck.
Joseph was burning with fury. It was evident in the intensity of his movements. Charles took two steps back, trembling.
"Mr. Fu, are you alright?" Hiram hurried toward him.
"I feel a little dizzy." Charles' face turned pale.
"Joseph, your father is still alive. If you keep making trouble, he might never wake up!" Seeing that Charles was hurt, Nancy felt distressed. Anger came upon her so she grabbed Joseph's arm and pushed him sharply.
Joseph was still in rage. He waved the stick at Nancy.
"Nancy!" Charles shouted and rushed towards Nancy in an attempt to protect her.
But Joseph was like acting like a crazy beast; he waved his stick randomly.
Hiram's men rushed over to allay the situation, but they were careful not to overstep, knowing who Joseph was.
Fortunately, the police showed up at the height of the
commotion.
By this time, Charles' face had gone pale and Nancy's forehead bled from getting hit by Joseph's stick. Blood gushed from her face down to her body. She was a mess.
