"Winter, you must have known you were targeted?" Joshua spoke calmly without looking at Winter. The drink in his hand had not been sipped since before. His eyes scanned the crowd as several people looked in their direction.

Winter smiled. "You mean they want to get rid of me, or they want to get me?" Winter looked at Joshua with her smile widening. "I guess it's both, right?"

Joshua nodded his head once. Some people, being Winter's users, think that Joshua is a lowly man who shouldn't be with Winter. And a few more people Joshua knew if they didn't like the Hopes family.

The family had many businesses and those businesses were blocking some of the other family's businesses, they were also quite aggressive in opposing some people who had differences of opinion with them. The head of the Hopes family did not want to show their weakness in front of others as well as Winter who moved on her own.

    The sound of great laughter could be heard from his room. He had just received a report that his people had done an excellent job. "That's what happens when he conflicts with me. It's amazing how he baits me," William shouted. There was a strong smell of alcohol and tobacco in the room.The corners of his eyes looked sharp as he spoke. "I have repeatedly removed some of the tools, but they did not understand, so I finally sent someone else to make them surrender. Those who were unable to resist now will be very scared." Then, his eyes turned and looked at one of the people in the room. "Don't humans want to save themselves first rather than their jobs?" He laughed again, held his stomach and finally flopped on the chair behind him.There were three other people in the room besides him. And they nodded their heads after hearing the words of their master. "It's just as you said, sir. He must have suffered a considerable loss, so he must not have wanted to suffer another loss and sold th

It was no wonder that he was very innovative, and their family always wanted the advancement of the times that could help humans.Now, he was at the robot cafe created by the Gibson family. Joshua was sitting quietly. He was here because of Billy's compulsion and had noticed the robots serving the people here. The robots had a human-like body structure but without human-like skin, which still made it quite far behind what the Western family had.They indeed never told what they had because it was equivalent to spreading their proprietary information that the enemy could utilise. But Joshua was quite impressed with how these robots worked because they were able to serve well. Meanwhile, the man sitting in front of him knew that Joshua was watching the robots from his family. "Isn't that very nice?"His question made Joshua glance at Billy. The man was still smiling confidently. There

    Billy watched the man before him, knowing that Joshua was a bright and smart boy. Of course, working in a Western company was not a difficult thing for an intelligent man like that. He has an orphan background and no significant family name, so he doubts what Joshua said.He paused for a moment while looking at Joshua and finally spoke. "What position are you working in? I doubt if you are in a great position. If you work with me, I will give you a great position. I trust you, Joshua." The look in his eyes sympathised with Joshua. He felt sad at the thought of Joshua possibly being bullied by people with a great family background.After all, bullying in the office was a common thing. People who had acquaintances acted as if they were in charge, so they did childish things. Even Billy had encountered such things in his company, so Joshua was an easy target for people who behaved like that."I don't know, I don't know either. I can't thank you enough for your offer, Billy." Joshua final

Those people were the shooting crew and looked very busy while Winter had already finished shooting, and it had been a long day for her.Even the sun had been replaced by the moon, making it dark outside. The crew around Winter helped her remove the clothes she used for the previous shoot.

A female crew member smiled as she looked at Winter.Winter nodded her head, smiled and walked away. The manager, the man wearing glasses, was carrying two bags in both hands.

    "Master, you've been in there too long."Joshua opened his eyes when he heard the servant's voice from outside. The man who was soaking in the warm water in the bathtub sighed heavily. Joshua got up. He then washed his burly body and covered it with his usual white bathrobe.Joshua came out of the bathroom, his hair still half-dry, making beads of water drip down his head. The maid quickly handed him a small towel and helped Joshua to dry his hair."Have you prepared everything I asked for?" Joshua asked."That's it, Master."Joshua took over the small towel. He then walked to a sofa directly facing the glass wall that showed the beauty of the outside world.When Joshua was seated on the sofa, the waiter quickly handed him a cup of hot tea.
