Chapter 222 Mr. Maltz Is Stupid
The recording was from the driver who had bumped into Joshua.
In the recording, the driver’s voice was painful and intermittent, as if he was enduring some pain.
He explained in detail when Lexie asked him to discuss the plan and how to avoid the supervision to
get the money, all of which were clearly explained. He didn’t seem to lie.
Anaya listened to the contents of the recording and was a little surprised.
After the accident, Cecilia had been investigating the driver. She tried every method to get the truth out
of the driver, but she could not get the answer.
But now, the answer was actually obtained by Hearst.
After Joshua heard the driver’s words, he was also shocked for a moment.
But soon, Joshua calmed down.
“Hearst, why did you give a fake recording to me? What do you want to say? You want to help Anaya
throw dirt on Lexie, right? Do you think I will believe you?”
Hearst did not expect that Joshua would not believe Lexie’s evil intention at this point.
Hearst could not help but curse, “What a stupid guy.”
“Who did you say?” Joshua’s face darkened. “This driver’s voice is very painful. Maybe he was beaten
by you. Is it not normal for me to have this suspicion?
“Moreover, now that technology is so advanced, it is not difficult to use AI to imitate a person’s voice.
Only a fool would believe in a recording so easily!”
“Indeed. Mr. Maltz is so stupid that the word ‘fool’ can no longer be used to describe him,” Anaya
smiled.
In the past, when Anaya gave him the evidence of Lexie’s fake injury, Joshua didn’t even check it and
was certain that Lexie was innocent. It was only until the whole country knew about it that he
recognized the truth.
It was said that one fell into the pit and gained wisdom. After the incident, Anaya thought that Joshua
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshould have become smarter. She did not expect him to still be so stupid.
“Just now, you watched Lexie being beaten to death, and now you dare to say that I am stupid. Do you
really think I won’t hit a woman?” Joshua was furious, after being scolded by the two.
“It seems that you are proud to hit a woman.” A mocking smile touched Anaya’s lips. “You can have a
try,” she said, her voice cold.
In the previous life, Joshua had fought with Anaya for Lexie.
At that time, when the Dutt family declined, Anaya was too weak to resist.
Now, Anaya was not so easy to bully!
Hearing Anaya’s provoking words, Joshua wished he could immediately give Anaya a punch. However,
seeing Anaya’s face, Joshua hesitated and felt that he could not do it no matter what.
Seeing that Joshua did not move, Anaya sneered, “Since you don’t dare to make a move, don’t try to
act cool. No one will believe you.”
After she finished speaking, Anaya opened the door and returned to the car, intending to get in. Joshua
remembered that he had yet to scold Anaya for Lexie. He reached out to pull Anaya, but Hearst
grabbed his wrist.
Joshua was so agitated that he wanted to curse, but when he was about to curse, he could only let
out a scream.
Hearst spun Joshua’s arm 180 degrees, firmly tying it behind his back.
With Hearst’s movement, Joshua heard the sound of his joints breaking.
Joshua’s hand had been dislocated.
Joshua had been hit by Carson earlier, and he was already injured. Now, he was in so much pain that
he broke out in a cold sweat.
Hearst held Joshua’s hand, lowered his voice, and whispered in Joshua’s ear, “As I said, you have to
keep a distance from Anaya.
“I am a narrow-minded person. I don’t like others to touch the thing or the person I like.
“Please remember this, Mr. Maltz. Don’t do it again.”
With that, Hearst flung Joshua away.
Joshua staggered. Fortunately, a bodyguard passed the crowd in time to support him, so that he would
not fall into a sorry state.
After regaining his footing, Joshua flung the bodyguard’s hand away. “Trash! Can’t you come
earlier?”
The bodyguard felt a little wronged. “When you were restrained by Mr. Helms, I was rushing
here…”
The other bodyguards failed to break through the line of defense of Samuel and the others, and only
the bodyguard rushed over.
The bodyguard had come to help, but after being scolded by Joshua, he felt a little uncomfortable.
How could Joshua be in the mood to care about the feelings of a bodyguard?
Joshua glared at the bodyguard and then turned his head in anger, only to see that Hearst had got in
the car and left.
The car ran very fast and disappeared at the end of the road in a short while, and Joshua could not
catch up even if he wanted to.
Seeing that Hearst had left, Samuel shouted to his fellows in disappointment, “Time to go.”
He was originally waiting for Joshua to pick a fight, so he could have self-defense.
Samuel thought that it was boring.
Samuel was about to leave with his people, and Joshua wanted to ask someone to stop Samuel, but
in the end, he didn’t.
Most of the people on Joshua’s side had been weakened by Carson just now, and now that they met
Hearst’s people, they didn’t have the strength to fight against Hearst’s people.
Joshua could not take revenge after suffering a setback. At this moment, Joshua felt extremely
aggrieved.
Joshua had been staring at Samuel. Before getting in the car, Samuel even gave Joshua the middle
finger.
Joshua gritted his teeth and stared at Samuel’s car. Even when the taillights of the car could not be
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmseen, Joshua was still standing there.
The bodyguard who was scolded by Joshua just now gathered his courage and asked, “Mr. Maltz, your
arm seems to be dislocated. You should go to the hospital…”
“My arm isn’t dislocated!” Joshua was full of anger. This bodyguard had offended Joshua, so Joshua
vented all his anger on the bodyguard. “Hearst doesn’t have the ability to dislocate my arm.”
After being yelled at twice by Joshua, the bodyguard felt even more wronged and didn’t speak again.
Joshua gave the bodyguard another vicious look before getting into an ordinary car.
“Start the car!”
The bodyguard who was driving just now saw his companion being shouted at and asked carefully,
“Where do you want to go?”
“The hospital.” Joshua turned his head to the window.
The bodyguard was speechless.
He suddenly agreed with what Hearst and Anaya had said about his boss.
It was indeed that Joshua was stupid.
The car stopped downstairs in the apartment building that Anaya had rented.
Anaya opened the door and got off with Hearst.
Anaya was going to pick up Sammo next door. Hearst pushed open the door and invited her in to have
a drink.
Anaya did not refuse and followed Hearst into the room.
The heating in the room was very strong. She took off her coat and sat down on the sofa.
Hearst warmed a glass of milk and handed it to her.
Anaya took it and held it in her palm to warm her hand. Only then did she slightly raise her head and
drink a mouthful of milk.
There were some milk stains on her lips, and she felt a little itchy.
She stretched out her tongue, licked it, and rolled the milk into her mouth.
Hearst stood by her side, noticing all of her movements. His eyes darkened, and then he slowly
looked away.
Perhaps he should pour a glass of drink of some other color for her next time.
