Chapter 1730 Extraordinary Patience
“Sorry about that, Ms. Stovall. Vivian didn’t mean it. She’s having a bad day today. Please forgive her!” The manager tried to ease the situation.
She understood fully that business was all about earning money doing everything in harmonious ways. Yet, the celebrity that he represented did not seem to share the same view.
Rebecca was beyond exasperated seeing her manager was not on her side. She got rid of the latter and cast her a furious look. “Don’t you dare to try to stop me!”
The manager froze on the spot helplessly. She had no choice but to give in to her arrogant celebrity.
By then, Rebecca seemed to have recollected herself a little. However, she acted ignorantly toward my threat as she approached me and leaned close to me.
“I’m not the same fool who was easily manipulated by you and Ashton back then. If you know the law so well, you should know there will be no case without a victim. Why don’t you ask Joseph if he wants to sue me?”
Wow, since when does a useless parasite like her who used to rely on others know how to use her brain?
Just then, the elevator opened, and Ashton walked out. Behind him was Nora, who was leaning closely to Nathaniel.
“Just the perfect timing.” Rebecca’s eyes lit up as she shifted the blame first. “Ashton, what a great assistant you have. I merely joked with him slightly. Yet, he and Scarlett want to sue me? What are you going to do about that? Is this how you repay me?”
Ashton’s gaze darkened, and he shifted his gaze toward Joseph. “What’s going on?”
Joseph bit his lip and said, “Mr. Ashton, it’s just a misunderstanding. I will apologize to Ms. Larson now.”
With that, he bowed deeply toward Rebecca. “Ms. Larson, I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”
I could not help but admire his patience. How could he do that after getting slapped three times? I couldn’t do it if it were me.
He was indeed the best assistant I had ever seen.
Ashton should be grateful for Joseph’s relent as it had saved him a lot of trouble.
However, Rebecca did not seem to appreciate Joseph’s gesture. She walked toward the latter in a victorious manner and looked down on him.
“I know you’re just like Ashton’s friends. You guys think I’m just a promiscuous woman. In your eyes, only Scarlett deserves your respect and you’ll only follow her words. Well, that’s all right. You can continue to be her loyal dog. And I will make you pay for your contempt toward me.”
I did not know why but I felt Rebecca had changed into a different person.
Her eyes filled with cruelty as she spat her words through her tightly clenched teeth. She was like a ruthless beast that intended to swallow Joseph alive.
People without principles were the most difficult to deal with, just like Nathaniel, whose existence was like a ghost.
At that moment, Nathaniel was merely watching with a smile, without any intention to interfere.
From Rebecca’s stand, I knew she must feel that everyone in this world owed her something. A person like her would see everyone else as crazy, except herself. I knew it would be pointless to try to talk any sense into her.
