Chapter 44 Mrs.LancelotMrs. Lancelot was beaten up.
"JustC cleaning the toilet?" Mark was surprised. In the past, he would definitely have been fined for that.
Hearing the word "toilet," Charles couldn't help but think of Daphne asking him to eat in the restroom, which sent chills down his spine. "You want to go too?"
"It's better to leave this honorable task to the department managers," Mark politely declined with a smile.
The others exclaimed, "What's so honorable about it!"
Charles was preoccupied with thoughts of Daphne and didn't want to say much to them, so he told them to leave.
"Boss, are you having lunch now or waiting for dinner?" Mark brought up the matter after everyone had left. "The lunch we ordered is still fresh. If you need it, I can go get it now."
Charles glanced at him and said, "You're in charge of cleaning the toilets on this floor for this month."
"Boss..."
"Two months."
"Yes..." Mark didn't dare to argue any further.
Thinking about two months of cleaning toilets, Mark went to vent to his friend: "Our boss has gone mad. He suddenly has a thing for cleaning toilets. No deduction in bonus or salary, just punishment of cleaning toilets. I'm even affected by it."
Gino replied, "With your special assistant salary, doing janitorial work, you should know how good you have it."
Mark asked, "When does your boss's vacation end? It's been two years already, and he hasn't returned to work? Isn't he afraid of the company going bankrupt?"
Gino replied, "Even if your Lancelot Group goes bankrupt, our boss's company won't."
Mark quickly closed WhatsApplocked his phone and refused to continue chatting with him.
At this moment, Daphne received a call from her assistant. She put it on speakerphone, and the voice on the other end instantly came through, "Boss, when are you coming back from your leave?"
"What's the matter?" Daphne paused and then asked.
"You've been on vacation for two years."
"..."
"As a company executive, you should show some concern for the company."
"..."
"If you keep playing around, the company will follow suit."
"Fine by me."
"Boss, please take it seriously." The voice on the other end turned cold and serious.
"Understood." Daphne calculated the time and gave him a reply, "I'll be back in half a month. I secured a position as an investment advisor at the Murphy Group. The company might need your extra attention."
"You just need to come back to work and occasionally sign documents." The cold voice came through, devoid of any emotion. "I will take care of the rest."
Daphne also reassured him, "Okay."
After the conversation, they hung up.
In the following two days, Charles and Daphne did not contact each other.
Regardless of Charles or Daphne, Tthey both made the same decision in their hearts ;- Tthey would not have any contact with each other until they received their divorce certificates.
But things didn't go as planned.
Daphne and Charles unexpectedly ran into each other .
oOn Saturday night.
Daphne went out to buy something.
West, becauseSince it wasn't too far away, she chose to walked over. But who knew, that when she passed through an alleyway, she was would be stopped by a group of men holding baseball bats?.
Her gaze scanned the surroundings and the men before finally stopping at a figure at the far end of the alley, who was holding a phone towards them.
In an instant, she understood.
This group of people had made preparations. In this alleyway without surveillance cameras, if they managed to cripple her, she would be in trouble.
If she managed to cripple them, they would use the recording in that person's phone to accuse her.
She didn't think too much.
To avoid trouble, she turned around and ran without arguing with them.
"Capture her!"
"The employer said her legs and feet must be broken."
A voice came from behind.
Daphne ran fast.
She didn't run towards her home because she knew that if she ran home at a time like this, these people would break through the security and follow her, causing trouble for her in the future.
But this residential area itself was on the outskirts of Ivrea City, and there were hardly any commercial areas nearby.
While thinking, she ran towards a relatively large open space where there was a surveillance camera.
"Why aren't you running?"
"Didn't expect you, little girl, to run so fast!"
"I'm exhausted!"
The group of people cursed and complained.
Daphne didn't even catch her breath. This distance was nothing to her: "Who made you come?"
There were only two people she had offended: Kayla and Tony.
Tony was in Gedser and shouldn't know that she had come to Ivrea City. As for Kayla, if she had hired people to attack her and told them to choose a place without cameras in advance, she wouldn't have done those foolish things before.
But besides these two, she didn't seem to have offended anyone.
It couldn't be Charles's doing.
"Don't you know who you've offended?"
"Mrs. Lancelot, you've held this position long enough, it's time to step down."
"Considering that you're about to have your hands and legs broken, I'll kindly tell you, Miss Baker is behind us."
"Nonsense! It's clearly Mr. Lancelot behind us!"
"Hahaha."
"Let's all attack! Miss Baker said whoever can break her arms and legs will receive a million!"
As tThe group of people buzzed with discussions,.
Upon hearing these words, Daphne almost immediately ruled out Kayla and Tony. Tony didn't know she had married Charles, and Kayla simply didn't have the capability.
"Bang!"
Daphne kicked one of them away, and the rest upon realization joined in the fight..
When the others rushed forward to attack her, she snatched one of their baseball bats and kicked out with her foot.!
"Don't just stand there, attack! "
"Let's all attack together, I want to see how well she can fight!"
The leader kept giving orders.
Daphne's movements intensified. Swiftly, she raised the baseball bat to parry the attacks from two assailants and delivered a swift kick to one of them. She deftly managed to fend off two, but the odds stacked against her. Her back nearly suffered a hit, and she found herself encircled by a group of adversaries, making it challenging to evade every blow.became even faster. She raised the baseball bat to block two others' bats, then kicked one of them aside.
Two of them!
But even so.
Her back was almost hit, and a group of people surrounded her, making it difficult to avoid all their sticks.
She was well aware that she needed to act move quickly.
At the same time, i.
In a slowly moving car nearby, Mark was driving and planning to take his boss back, when . hHe happened to see a fight going on.
And then.
Realization hit him and he asked, “Isn't that Mrs. Lancelot?”Isn't that Mrs. Lancelot?!!!
"Boss," Mark urgently repeated, his tone more assertive, Mark looked in the rearview mirror and reported immediately, "Mrs. Lancelot is being under attacked."
Charles became annoyed at the mention of those four wordsand said, "It's not my concern."
