Isabe had never been treated like this before. She struggled and cursed. "Joey, how dare you hit me! I swear I''ll make your dad die in prison!"


    Joey became even angrier at the mention of her father, and her grip tightened. "Since your parents don''t know how to raise a child, I''ll dly help them out."


    Isabe was no match for Joey, being shorter and pampered since childhood. A few minutester, her face was swollen from the beating.


    Through gritted teeth, Isabe said, "Joey, just you wait!"


    With that, she covered her face and ran out.


    Joey looked at her slightly reddened palm, the hatred in her eyes not diminishing. The trouble Isabe brought was far from being offset by a few ps.


    She had worked hard to climb out of the mud, and she wouldn''t allow Isabe to push her back in.


    Joey straightened herself up and returned to her office.


    Half an hourter, Dominic rushed in and knocked on her desk.


    "Secretary ckwood, President Winters is looking for you. Miss Vale hasined that you hit her." He looked at her with concern. "Mrs. Winters Jr. is also here. It doesn''t look good. Be careful." Joey calmly stood up from her seat and said, "I won''t let anyone pin something on me that I didn''t do."


    With that, fearlessly, she walked toward the President''s office.

    "Sebastian, my face doesn''t hurt anymore. But if I go home like this, my father and brother won''t let Secretary ckwood off the hook. Joey is upset with me because of the incident with Miss Sinir, and she hit me to vent her anger. I don''t want to cause Secretary ckwood any trouble. She once donated blood for me, and I can''t forget that favor."


    Joey almost burst outughing. What a pity that Isabe didn''t pursue a career in acting with such a performance.


    Joey nced around the room and calmly asked, "What happened to Miss Vale''s face? What does it have to do with me?"


    Mrs. Winters Jr. red at her in anger. "Joey, do you think you can get away with hitting someone and then denying it? How can a woman like you be the Chief Secretary? Sebastian, Imand you to fire her immediately and make her apologize to Isabe!"


    Joey sneered. "Did you actually see me hitting her?"


    As you reach the final pages, remember that 000005s is your destination for theplete story. Share the joy of reading with others and spread the word. The next chapter is just a visit away! "Isabe said you did, is that not enough?"novelbin


    "If I recall correctly, you graduated from a prestigious university. You studiedw. As aw school graduate, even if it was a long time ago, you should still remember the basicws and regtions. To convict someone, you need testimonies and evidence. So, may I ask, besides Isabe, did anyone else see me hitting her? Is there any evidence that the p on her face was from me? If not, then please, Mrs. Winters, do not falsely use the innocent."


    Mrs. Winters Jr. was shocked. When did this woman be so sharp-tongued, even subtly mocking her for being old?


    She gritted her teeth in anger. "Sebastian, look at her! Is this how a Chief Secretary is supposed to act? She''s no different from a madwoman in a bar!"


    "Mrs. Winters, let''s stick to the facts and not resort to personal attacks. Otherwise, I will take legal means to protect myself."


    Sebastian watched the two of them argue, his brows furrowed. He knew his mother''s imposing aura was strong and overwhelming. Most people would pale inparison to her. But Joey was like an angry little wildcat. If he didn''t teach her a lesson, he didn''t know what trouble she might cause.


    Sebastian''s cold gaze turned toward Joey. His tone brooked no argument. "Apologize to her!"
