Chapter 278

Martha Charles had changed a lot in four years.

She no longer wore a young and rebellious outfit, no longer had garish red hair, no longer had an exaggerated smoky-eye make-up, and no longer wore a pair of 10cm high heels. At this moment, Martha didn’t apply any makeup. She only wore a pair of simple jeans, a white T-shirt, and a pair of creamed-coloured canvas shoes. She looked extremely clean. Although she still looked beautiful, there was no liveliness in her eyes anymore.

Her eyes looked empty.

Probably this was the look of a person with a dead heart.

It seemed that not only a lot of things had happened to Joey Linderman but also to Martha in the past four years.

Joey felt heartbroken looking at her. That young, rebellious, and fearless girl had given her a very deep impression. She couldn’t relate the current Martha to the former one at the moment.

While Joey looking at Martha, Martha was also looking at her. However, she didn’t show the shocked look that the others had when they met Joey.

“You’re back.”

Martha looked at Joey as if she was greeting an old friend. She showed a strange smile, “I knew you would be back. However, I didn’t expect it took you so long to come back. It has been four years. You have taken so long time.”

It had been four years. It really took too long to let those people who should be punished to get away with it!

Joey was shocked to see Martha’s smile. It seemed like Martha was the one who had seen through everything. She knew that today's return was the reason she left last time.

To revenge!

“Can we talk together?”

Joey invited her sincerely.

Martha shook her head, “No, we aren’t even that close. What can we talk about?”

Upon saying this, Martha walked past Joey and opened the door of the ward.

Joey didn’t say anything after seeing this. She and Martha had met sometimes because of Allen Charles. They were not even considered as friends.

Indeed, they had nothing to talk about.

In fact, she only worried about her!

Joey always felt that Martha wasn’t a bad girl for some reason. If someone had given her good guidance, she must have been kinder and better than anyone else. Therefore, a lot of times Joey would feel bad for Martha.

Right after Martha entered the ward, Joey left from the other side of the corridor immediately. However, John Walter actually followed her.

John was in a bad mood as Joey ignored him completely to talk with Martha!

“We haven’t settled the matter that you beat me last time. Shouldn't you apologize to me this time, my former chief secretary?”

John blocked Joey in front of her. He intentionally said the word “secretary’ loudly, reminding Joey that she had worked under him.

Joey looked up at him coldly and mocked, “Mr. Walter, even though the news of me becoming the new president of Phoebus company today will be announced tomorrow, you must have been made aware of it with all your connections, right? Do you know why I became the president of Phoebus company? It is because Ben Hawk had offended me. So, I took the thing that he concerned about the most. Therefore, don’t you dare to offend me, or I will make you become the second Ben Hawk...”

These words were extremely arrogant.

Upon hearing this, John showed an extremely bad face. John used to be the arrogant one, but he was intimidated by a woman now. It was only one round, John trembled as he was extremely angry.

He raised his hand, pointed at Joey, and said coldly, “You, woman, don’t be too arrogant. Don’t even compare me with Ben, he was just my employee last time and his company isn’t even powerful. It doesn’t mean that you could bring me down even if you had brought him down before. He and I aren’t on the same level at all!”

What he said wasn’t wrong. Phoebus company had only made its name in the business world in the recent four years. Although it was growing fast, it still wasn’t as strong and powerful as the Walter Group that had been founded for 100 years.

“Is it?”

Joey disapproved of his statement and smiled. Then she walked closer to John, “If you don’t believe me, let’s have a try.”

Seeing Joey’s madness and her will to fight, John couldn’t help but tremble. However, he wouldn’t falter in front of a woman and he believed that Ben wasn’t even comparable to him.

Then he smiled coldly and replied, “Okay, I would like to see how you can bring me down. Don’t blame me for not reminding you of overestimating yourself. At that time, I would definitely crush you.”

“Fine, let’s see!”

Joey didn’t falter at all. If Sarah Linderman couldn’t free herself from John because of his power, then let her make him lose everything. At that time, John wouldn’t have the capability to keep Sarah obviously.

The reason that Joey and John were fighting against each other wasn’t because of her anger suddenly. She wanted to do this for Sarah a long time ago.

At this moment, Joey didn’t know the reason why Sarah couldn’t leave John. The main reason wasn’t his power and wealth, but because of...

That was the truth that Sarah wouldn’t dare to say.
