The blazing sun made Joshua Wright feel dizzy and weak on his legs.
The heat outside made him sweat uncontrollably, yet inside, he was shivering with cold, but he still forced himself to walk outside.
"Now I can finally rest assured, they really are serious and responsible."
"Exactly, my friend was still hesitating whether to buy or not, I just called him and told him about it, and he’ll be here soon to pay!"
The excited chatter of the homebuyers finally became the last straw that broke the camel’s back, and Joshua Wright’s legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"Hey, hey... someone fainted!" In his grogginess, Joshua Wright vaguely heard someone saying that.
When Joshua Wright came to, he found himself in a hospital, and it was already dark outside.
Sitting next to him, surprisingly, was a colleague from his company, who excitedly shouted when he saw Joshua awake, "You’re awake? You’ve made a big contribution! The boss even specially praised you."
"What big contribution?" Joshua Wright’s head was still a bit foggy, and he wasn’t fully conscious yet.
"You don’t know?" The colleague said with a smile, "Our company’s website has already published an article. It’s precisely because of your questioning that everyone found out that the quality of the fully renovated apartment is quite up to standard, and our article’s click rate..."
"Hey, hey... Joshua Wright, why are you fainting again?"
It was already dinner time, and every household was filled with the aroma of food. People coming home from work and school finally could sit together and enjoy this leisurely familial warmth.
Yet someone was intent on ruining this atmosphere, banging hard on the security door: "Open the door! Open the door! You little bitch! Open the door!"
"What is she up to now?" Lucy Wells’s grandmother clutched her chest, frowning painfully.
"Grandma, it’s okay, Aunt-in-law might be looking for me." Lucy Wells put down her chopsticks and stood up.
"Don’t move! I’ll go open the door." Emma Wells stood up briskly, bypassing her daughter, and walked to the door.
She abruptly opened the inner door, but wisely didn’t open the outer security door. Instead, she asked through the door, "Sister-in-law, what are you causing a ruckus about again?"
"What ruckus am I causing?" Daisy Lewis got even more furious upon hearing this, jumping and shouting insults, "Emma Wells, get your little beast out here!"
Hearing her daughter insulted, Emma Wells wouldn’t have it, and she retorted, "Who are you calling a little beast? If my Lucy is a little beast, what does that make your husband? And what are you, married to a beastly uncle?"
"You, you, you..." Daisy Lewis was already seething, and didn’t expect Emma Wells to dare to insult her back, making her so angry that she kicked the door hard, "You slut, giving birth to a lowly daughter!"
After hearing that, Emma Wells turned back into the house directly.
Seeing Emma Wells backing off, Daisy Lewis cursed even more gleefully, "You whore who messed around with men before marriage and had a bastard..."
"Daisy Lewis!" Lucy Wells’s grandmother shouted, slamming the table heavily in anger, which set off a coughing fit.
Lucy Wells hurried to help her grandmother catch her breath, fearing that the anger might cause her to fall ill.
Daisy Lewis didn’t care whether the old lady inside lived or died, loudly continuing her profane tirade, "A whole family of scoundrels, ruining my family’s Hongcai! All of you are destined for divine retribution... ah!"
Daisy Lewis’s curses were abruptly cut off by a bucket of cold water, thoroughly soaking her thin summer clothes.
"Insult us one more time, I dare you!" Emma Wells, holding the bucket in one hand, brazenly scolded.
