Just as Joe was about to leave, he suddenly heard someone calling his name behind him. His eyebrows furrowed tightly at the sound.
Mary stood by the door, angrily glaring at the two men blocking her in the room. The fury on her face was evident, as she was outraged they dared to trap her inside.
While arguing with them, Mary stretched her body out of the doorway, and at that moment, her gaze inadvertently fell on Joe passing by in the hallway.
Originally, she was unwilling to see that man, but now she had no choice but to call out to him.
Joe, who initially intended to leave, heard her calling him and was reluctant to respond. From the beginning, he had no favorable impression of this woman.
In his view, this woman's heart was exceptionally ruthless, cowardly while also extremely selfish, foolish yet considered herself exceptionally smart.
Thinking of her self-important actions, he found them laughable.
Therefore, he never had much goodwill towards someone like her.
