The voice, like a madman, startled the neighbors, but they weren’t easy to mess with either. It wasn’t long before there was a knock on Joshua Wright’s door: "Open up!"
Hearing this, no matter how irritated Joshua Wright was, he had no choice but to go and open the door. Once he did, the officer at the door looked at him and said, "Disturbance in the middle of the night..."
"Yes, yes, I understand. I’ll keep it down. I’m sorry, I’m sorry." Joshua Wright hurriedly apologized before the officer finished speaking.
Seeing Joshua Wright’s good attitude, the officer said a few more things to him and then left.
As soon as the officer left, Joshua Wright’s patient demeanor turned grim again. He wanted to slam the door shut, but fearing the neighbors would call the police again, he could only gently close it.
Joshua Wright quickly logged into his Weibo, intending to post an explanation.
After typing everything, just before hitting send, Joshua stopped.
If he posted it now, wouldn’t it be like admitting what was said online was about him?
He must not respond, must not respond... Joshua kept muttering to himself. The more he responded, the more excited the netizens would get. He had to wait for the matter to slowly cool down, then it would be fine.
Obviously, Joshua Wright underestimated the impact of this issue. The next morning, as soon as he got to work, his manager called him into the office and gave him a clear directive.
"Resign? Why should I resign?" Joshua panicked upon hearing this. "Manager, I’m doing just fine, why should I resign?"
The manager sneered and asked, "Do I really need to spell out the reason for you? I’m sparing your dignity; don’t be ungrateful."
"Resigning would allow you to leave with some dignity. If you get fired, I can make that happen too."
The manager’s words snapped the tension Joshua had been holding all night: "Why should I resign? What did I do? This is all slander against me!"
After shouting for a long time, Joshua Wright still ended up packing his things under the security’s supervision and leaving the company.
Joshua Wright was so mad he was about to go crazy. He didn’t even take his car. Carrying his belongings, he walked down the street with an intense rage.
He looked so threatening that the passersby kept their distance, afraid he might suddenly lash out.
Nonetheless, someone still dared to block his path.
"Get out of my way!" His job was lost, his reputation ruined, and Joshua Wright was like a bomb about to explode, ready to go off on anyone who provoked him.
"Joshua Wright, do you want to take revenge?" This one sentence ignited a glimmer of hope in Joshua’s furious eyes.
It was mid-morning in the café, and there weren’t many people around. The corner was particularly quiet.
"Do you know who set you up?" Eva asked Joshua Wright.
"Lucy Wells, that bitch!" Joshua could only think it was Lucy Wells who might have done this.
"No," Eva stated firmly.
"I just gave her some trouble, and things immediately went wrong. Who else could it be?" Joshua glared at Eva, wondering if she was defending that bitch Lucy Wells.
"Think about it, does Lucy Wells have that kind of capability?" Eva guided him.
With Eva’s words, Joshua’s anger-fueled mind began to regain some clarity. He thought carefully and realized it was true.
With Lucy Wells’ background and temperament, she didn’t have the boldness or the capability for that.
"Then who is it?" Joshua directly asked, since this person came to talk with him, they must have something. Otherwise, what’s the point of talking?
