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.”
