Chapter 1729 Three Slaps
Rebecca rolled her eyes with irritation, pretending not to see Joseph.
I was left in awe upon seeing that. What’s going on? Now that Ashton and Rebecca have buried their hatchets, Joseph becomes the one who suffers?
Noticing the puzzlement in my eyes, Joseph turned awkward as he immediately changed the topic. “Mrs. Fuller, let me escort you down.”
Upon saying that, he made a gesture inviting me to leave.
I did not give it much thought as I followed him.
After I took a few steps, Rebecca suddenly voiced out abruptly. “Hold on…”
Joseph halted his feet and turned around. “Ms. Larson, is there anything?”
Rebecca uttered pridefully, “Nothing, but my assistant is on leave today. I want you to take her place for today.”
Joseph nodded. “No problem. Let me escort Mrs. Fuller down first, and I’ll be right back.”
Upon saying that, Joseph displayed a professional smile and intended to continue escorting me. Before he turned around, Rebecca lifted her hand and slapped him.
Joseph’s face darkened instantly. Yet, he did not dare to resist due to his status.
If Ashton was like a wolf, then Joseph was like a mastiff. Even when he did not speak his mind, he had such a domineering charisma on him.
However, Rebecca showed him no respect as she walked up and poked at his forehead. “Who do you think you are? How dare you ask me to wait? I want you to take her place right now!”
Even Ashton would never treat Joseph with such humiliation.
After all, Joseph was a special assistant of the top rich man, and he was an extraordinarily smart man too. Yet, he chose to stay silent despite getting treated inappropriately.
I could not understand how Ashton could allow such a thing to happen to someone who had been by his side through life and death.
No matter what Ashton would think of this, there was no way I could accept this. “That’s enough!”
Rebecca tilted her head and cast a glance at me. She shifted her gaze back to Joseph the next second, dripping with sarcasm. “What a loyal servant. Are you waiting for Scarlett to stand up for you? I guess you haven’t figured out the reality!”
Slap!
“Do you understand now?”
Joseph covered his face with his palm, overwhelmed with disbelief. His gaze began to turn hostile. There was disbelief, as well as warning, in his eyes.
The tension in the air was positively volatile.
Just when everyone thought Rebecca would restrain herself, she cast another slap on him. “I’m asking you a question. Are you dumb? Answer me now!”
At that moment, I was sure that Rebecca was not afraid of Ashton at all.
Joseph’s face was swollen after the three heavy slaps. He clenched his fists, trying hard to suppress his rage.
I ran to Joseph’s front and pushed Rebecca away forcefully. “Enough of this nonsense!”
Rebecca staggered a few steps back as her manager immediately supported her. Utterly enraged, she scolded, “B*tch, it’s none of your business! Do you think Ashton will still listen to you like before? Face the reality! How dare you push me? Did you forget how much I had suffered for you…”
Rebecca’s manager was beyond panicked. She immediately tried to stop Rebecca. “Could you please calm down? It was not easy for us to finally get this deal. Please don’t ruin your future…”
I crossed my arms indifferently. “You should thank Joseph for not saying anything. Or else I will call the cops. With my professionalism in law, I will have you locked up in prison!”
