Joshua said OK. After hanging up, he didn’t put down the phone. Instead, he dialed another number.
The call soon got connected.
Then he heard a voice. “Hello, Mr. Lennon.”
“Ehn. Are you sure you have left no trace this time? I don’t want any trouble.” Joshua confirmed again if
there would be any trace that could be found out. He didn’t want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
“Mr. Lennon, please rest assured. We’ve done it perfectly.”
Joshua hummed. Then he said, “Ask them to behave themselves recently. They can’t cause any
trouble.”
“No worries. We won’t.”
“I’ve wired some money to your account. Please reward them.”
“That’s just a trifle. You don’t need to...”
“All right. I’ve gotta go now.”
“Okay. Thank you, Mr. Lennon.”
After hanging up the phone, Joshua put it down. Sitting at the desk, he rubbed between his eyebrows.
He looked a bit exhausted. Then he pressed the internal line button and said to his secretary, “I’ll not
deal with businesses today. Please cancel my business meals as well.”
“Yes, Mr. Lennon.”
He leaned against the back of the chair, closing his eyes for a rest.
In about twenty minutes, there were a few knocks on the door of his office.
He opened his eyes and said indifferently, “Come in.”
Soon, the office door was opened.
Amanda walked in. Joshua smiled. “What brought you down here to visit me today?”
He pretended as if he knew nothing.
Amanda didn’t beat around the bush with him. She asked, “Did you find someone to teach Stanford
James a lesson?”
Joshua looked at her. “Are you interrogating me?”
“No, I’m not.” Amanda looked into his eyes. “Just tell me yes or no.”
“Why are you so persistent with this question? So what if I did or I didn’t? Will you get mad at me
because of this matter?”
Amanda pulled away from the chair in front of his desk and sat down. “If you have done it, I know you
did it for my own good.”
“So? Are you here to thank me?” Joshua slightly raised his eyebrows. Judging from her expression, he
didn’t think she was here to thank him at all.
“I just don’t want to have anything to do with Stanford James. Since you did so, in case someone
caught it on you, you would have trouble.” Amanda didn’t want to drag any of her family into the mere
because of Stanford’s matter.
“You should trust me more.” Joshua looked at Amanda. “Although we have different family names,
we’re siblings from the same parents. You’ve been bullied. How can I sit and watch without doing
anything? I’ve just beaten him up. I didn’t mean to kill him. I know what I’m doing. There would be no
trouble. Even if he wants to look into the matter, he won’t find anything. Even if he suspects me, he
can’t find any evidence.”
Amanda looked at him, heaving a sigh. Joshua was an adult. He was in charge of such a huge
company. She knew he must have thought twice before taking any action.
Hence, she didn’t speak more. She came here to care about him, afraid that he would cause any
trouble because Stanford wasn’t worth it.
“I’m taking off now.”
Amanda stood up.
“Why don’t you stay longer? I’ll ask my secretary to make you a cup of coffee.” Joshua didn’t move.
Amanda reached the door. Suddenly, she paused and looked back at him, “Jos, I found that you’ve
become wicked.”
“In what way?” Joshua asked.
“You know it yourself.” After that, Amanda closed the door of his office and left.
In the hospital.
Stanford was pushed out of the operation room after two hours.
“How’s my brother doing, Doc? It’s not life-threatening, isn’t it?” George asked while grabbing the
doctor’s sleeve.
The doctor looked at him and asked, “Are you the patient’s family?”
George nodded. “Yes, I am.”
“His life is not in danger for the time being. We need to give him a further checkup after he wakes up.”
George couldn’t keep calm, wondering what the doctor meant.
“Doc, why just for the time being?”
The doctor explained, “Through the CT examination, we found a shadow in his brain. Now we can’t
determine what this shadow is. We can only make specific analysis after he wakes up.”
Atwood pulled George, who was excited. “We’d better send Mr. James to the ward. Let’s wait until he
wakes up.”
George looked at him, nodding finally.
Stanford didn’t wake up until the next day after being pushed into the ward.
Neither Atwood nor George left. They had been watching him all the time.
Stanford’s head was bandaged, looking not so pale. He opened his eyes gradually, only to smell the
smell of disinfectant in the ward. He also saw that he was in an unknown room. Slightly frowning, he
felt strong migraine.
“Hi, Mr. James.” Atwood woke up first. He found that Stanford had already woken up, so he asked in
excitement, “Are you feeling all right?”
Stanford looked at him expressionlessly. However, he couldn’t recall who Atwood was.
“Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Atwood didn’t get any response, so he asked with concerns, “Shall I
call the doctor over?”
Stanford still didn’t answer. His eyes and expression were without any emotion as if he wasn’t used to
such an unknown environment. He also seemed to not know Atwood.
Atwood sensed his abnormality. He trotted to call the doctor over to check up on Stanford.
Soon, the doctor rushed in and pushed Stanford to the examination room.
