"If it weren't for you, we would still have our jobs! You're nothing but a curse. The damage you've caused is enormous!"
"The news about Wendy and Abelard was all over the place yesterday, and she still had the audacity to show up at the office. She has no shame…"
"You're a real witch. You know that? You should drop dead!"
Everything that could be thrown, that could humiliate a person, was hurled at Wendy.
The security guards outside the company saw everything but didn't lift a finger. They hated Wendy too.
Earning a living was hard, and even though the company belonged to the Alonso family, the employees were the ones who worked their butts off.
The Alonso family may have been cashing in the big bucks, but at least they had money to live on. With the current situation, the employees could hardly make ends meet. Wendy sure knew how to bring bad luck.
Grace wanted to protect Wendy, but the barrage of garbage was too much for her to handle. She was covered in all sorts of foul-smelling stuff, nearly passing out on the spot.
"What are you waiting for? Are you blind? Can't you see we're being bullied? Are you all dead to the world?" Having had enough, Grace let the security guards have it.
Hearing her harsh words, the guards exchanged glances and decided to just watch from the sidelines.
Grace pointed at them, fuming, "You… You're all rebels…"
Wendy was in her wheelchair, enduring the pain in her arms as she shielded her face. But two hands were no match for the onslaught. In no time at all, she was buried in so much trash.
The insults, the pain, and the stench of the garbage all twisted Wendy's face into a grimace.
She was seething. Damn these people! Damn them all!!!
She glared at them with a hateful look, wishing she could kill them all.
The entrance was crowded with angry people, and the security guards just stood by. Helpless, Grace had no choice but to take Wendy back to the office.
Under the disdainful gazes of everyone, Grace and Wendy walked into Cole's office once again. The office was still a mess, and Grace and Wendy, looking haggard and smelling terrible, appeared out of the blue.
Cole glared at them, seeing their ugly side time and time again, not knowing what to say. He considered all this rage a waste of time.
As soon as Grace saw Cole, she burst into tears. "Cole, those people went too far! Look at what they've done to us!"
Cole looked at her. "Feeling sorry for yourself, huh? Who do you think is to blame for all this? Wendy is your daughter, and you made her into a jinx! Now you complain about people being too harsh? You had it coming!"
