"Where did my money go, is it any of your business?" Joshua Wright asked angrily, but his eyes were evasive, clearly guilty.
"All your money has been sent out, either to your parents or your brother. I’m curious, since you didn’t take on any part-time jobs, where did you get extra money to secretly give to Lucy?"
Sophie Wilson looked Joshua Wright up and down with playful scrutiny, sneering, "Or did you get some... extra income from work?"
"You’re spouting nonsense!" Joshua Wright turned red with anger, glaring viciously at Lucy Wells, "Lucy, I never thought you’d be this kind of person, and your friends are just like you! Fine, fine, I guess I was wrong about you!"
"I think your friends were wrong about you, tricked by your pitiful act to be your pawns." Sophie Wilson finished and looked at Joshua Wright’s friends, "A grown man complaining about his relationship to you guys, always saying he’s buying stuff for his girlfriend, doesn’t that seem strange to you?"
The men exchanged looks, already wavering.
"If Lucy was really that materialistic, could he tolerate it?" Sophie Wilson started laughing, "Think about how he behaves during gatherings with you guys."
She didn’t believe Joshua Wright, who’s so stingy, could be generous with those around him normally.
The men heard this and their faces darkened. After all, Joshua Wright often moaned about being broke, saying how hard it was, and they, treating him as a good buddy, took extra care of him.
Looking back now... Joshua Wright was using them like suckers!
"Joshua Wright, you’re something." One man, who seemed the most hot-tempered, glared directly at Joshua Wright.
"Don’t listen to her nonsense, she’s..."
"Miss Wells, sorry, we really are... sigh, anyway, we’re sorry." The men who had been fierce a moment ago kept apologizing to Lucy Wells, and she was so embarrassed she blushed and waved her hands, "It’s okay, it’s okay."
Seeing Lucy Wells so shy and gentle, the men hated Joshua Wright even more.
Such a girl not sticking with Joshua Wright was truly a blessing.
Even they were tricked by Joshua Wright, let alone the young girl.
"Let’s go, Joshua Wright, let’s have a good chat!" Those men put their arms around Joshua Wright’s neck in camaraderie and went out to bond.
"Wow... Lucy, it’s lucky you broke up, this kind of scumbag is completely unapproachable."
"Escaping from this pit of fire is truly fortunate."
Causing such a scene, Joshua Wright not only didn’t achieve his goal but instead made the colleagues at the company sympathize with Lucy Wells.
With the issue resolved, Sophie Wilson went back to continue eating.
Yet, beside her, someone’s face was dark, clouds gathering over his head, lightning flashing, wishing he could strike down a few.
"Don’t be mad, he’s just a jerk," Sophie Wilson consoled Charles Seymour, guessing he had never seen such shameless scum.
Charles Seymour gave Sophie Wilson a deep look, the emotions in that look were too complex. Even as Sophie Wilson tried hard to grasp his hidden meaning, she couldn’t fully understand.
Sophie Wilson: Bro, can we just talk directly?
"Let’s eat..." Unable to guess and with no way to ask, Sophie Wilson awkwardly shifted the topic, but as soon as she picked up the lunch box, it was snatched away by Charles Seymour.
