Chapter 125
Joy held back a smile as she looked at one of the people standing behind the director from the corner
of her eyes.
She remembered that person.
It was the woman who had been shopping with Serenity that day, and she was probably Serenity’s
friend, right?
Since Joy couldn’t vent her anger on Serenity, she would take it out on her friend!
Lisa felt a sense of foreboding as she met Joy’s gaze.
Not long after, shortly after they had begun eating. Joy raised her glass for a toast. Since it wasn’t
convenient for her to move around with her broken leg, the others took turns approaching her and

When it was Lisa’s turn, Joy deliberately shook her hand and dropped her glass, spilling the liquid all
over her own uninjured foot.
Then, she said, “Even if you didn’t want to offer me a toast, there’s no need to knock over my glass.
intentionally. If you didn’t want me to join you, you could have just said so, and I would have left.”
Lisa shot Joy a cold look, and the director quickly tried to intervene and protect Joy. He didn’t care who
was right or wrong and immediately demanded an apology from Lisa.
“Lisa, apologize to Miss Shaw!”
“Yeah, Lisa. Hurry up and apologize!” Her nearby colleagues chimed in.
In truth, anyone who had eyes could see that Joy was deliberately causing trouble, but who would dare
speak out and offend the woman?
After all, she was from the Shaw family. If they offended her, they might lose their jobs!
Lisa straightened up slowly and stared silently at Joy.
“Lisa, are you trying to drag everyone down with you? It’s the New Year! Do you plan on getting
everyone to lose their jobs?!” The director hissed into Lisa’s ear as he urgently tried to persuade her.
Lisa gritted her teeth before approaching Joy slowly. She lowered her gaze and said, “I’m sorry about
that, Miss Shaw. It was my fault.”
Joy smiled. “Since you know it was your fault, you should do something to make it right. How about
this? Since my shoe is dirty, help me clean it, and I’ll consider this matter settled.”
Lisa glared at Joy, and the latter continued, “You can’t expect an injured person like me to clean it,
right?”
Lisa’s colleagues urged her, so Lisa could only endure her anger and crouch down to wipe Joy’s shoe.

somewhat relieved that she was the one enduring Joy’s retaliation instead of Serenity.
If it had been Serenity, it would have been another heavy blow to her. Serenity had already suffered.
enough pain in this life.
Just then, Joy suddenly raised her foot and brought it down directly on Lisa’s hand. She applied
considerable force, almost as if she wanted to crush Lisa’s bones.
Lisa cried out in pain, and her colleagues had astonished looks on their faces. No one had expected

to do such a thing.
“Oh, dear, I didn’t mean to do that,” Joy said apologetically, but there was a smug smile on her face,
and she refused to remove her foot.
Lisa looked coldly at her colleagues who remained standing where they were with obviously no
inclination to help her. Then, she glanced at Joy’s triumphant expression and suddenly stood up
abruptly.
