The reason Donald chose to humiliate them in this way was entirely due to his frustration with their lack of resistance.
In his world, everything in this world was simply divided into right and wrong.
He would persist in doing what was right, no matter what, but he would not turn a blind eye to the wrong things either.
Hence, in Donald's view, he couldn't comprehend why these workers still didn't dare to report Wilbur even though they had already been bullied by Wilbur to this extent.
Now, he was enlightened.
As it turned out, there were things in this world more important than right or wrong, and that was life and survival.
Having understood this, Donald lifted his foot, allowing Jonty to get up from the ground.
He faced the workers and stated, “I'm giving you guys two choices. Either stand with me and let me help you take down Wilbur, or stand with Wilbur, and I'll have him fire you all immediately without paying you a single cent. Decide for yourselves.”
Since these workers valued life over right and wrong, Donald decided to use life and death as a multiple-choice question.
After rising from the ground, Jonty gritted out, “Why must you insist on making us choose? Can't you just let us go?”
He was seriously baffled.
Since he can clearly handle Wilbur by himself, he should just go do so.
Why does he have to drag us into this?
Donald stared at Jonty and replied flatly, “Because I have a problem—I can't stand people who lack dignity. Since you guys threw away your dignity on your own, I want you to reclaim it yourselves.”
Hearing his words, everyone was taken aback.
The concept of dignity felt both familiar and foreign to them.
Did we ever have it?
