Chapter 329: Chapter 329

329 Isabella Is Too Shrewd

Doris’s looked upset and started in a broken voice, “Mr. Joseph, if you don’t like this outfit, I’ll get a plain one.”

“Remove your makeup too.”

Joseph pursed his lips, “How many layers of powder do you have on your face? Your perfume is so pungent! Did you spray the whole bottle on your head?”

Doris pursed her lips and stood up immediately, “I’ll change it right now!”

Doris left sadly. Stella looked at Doris’s back thoughtfully. “Joseph, don’t you like this girl? Why did you treat her like this? Actually, you can have some fun with her.”

Joseph chuckled. “She is Zachary’s girl.”

“But Zachary doesn’t care.”

“Look at him, Doris doesn’t care either.” Stella looked at Zachary, who was in the distance, smiling with kiss marks on his face.

Joseph swirled his wine glass. “Stella, you are much more tolerant towards Doris than Isabella. Doris is clearly a two-timer, but you seem to hate Isabella even more.”

.....

Stella smiled, “Because Doris won’t hurt you, but Isabella is different...”

Stella pursed her lips and shrugged.

Joseph narrowed his eyes. “Stella, cut to the chase.”

Stella thought about it, “Forget it. I don’t want to make you angry.”

Joseph frowned. “Just say it. I won’t be angry.”

Stella hesitated for a moment and said, “From a woman’s point of view, Doris is greedier for pleasure. She really wants to be doted on. She wants you to value her and support her. In other words, she might be greedy for money, but she is a very simple girl. But Isabella...”

Stella shook her head and said, “Isabella is too shrewd. What she wants from you is not just money or anything. She only enjoys the victory of twisting you around her little finger.”

Hearing what Stella said, Joseph frowned.

Stella observed the expression on Joseph’s face. She thought he would be angry. Unexpectedly, Joseph looked relaxed. He even looked a bit excited and hopeful, “It’s not just money, right? What else does she want? Twisting me around her little finger? Does she want to conquer me?”

Seeing Joseph was even excited, Stella frowned in surprise, “Joseph, she has already left you, yet you still care about what she thinks?”

“I don’t care about her!” Joseph controlled the feelings in his heart. He frowned and cursed in his heart, ‘This wild fox really loves seducing men!’

“Yo! Cedric! Isabella!”

Jayden greeted Cedric and Isabella. Hearing that, Joseph looked up.

Isabella was wearing a dark purple strapless dress today. She left her long hair loose and had her arm in Cedric’s. She had a bright smile on her face.

She was elegant and beautiful.

The charm in every movement of Isabella was attracting Joseph.

Cedric first said something to Jayden. Then, he lowered his head and whispered something into Isabella’s ear with a smile. Isabella immediately burst into laughter.

Her bright smile showed she was really heartless.

When Stella saw Joseph’s expression change, she secretly pinched her palm. Joseph suddenly grabbed her hand and stood up, “Stella, let’s dance.”

Stella was startled, then nodded immediately, “Alright.”

On the other side, Jayden, who was a smooth operator, was laughing at Isabella and Cedric when cheers suddenly came from the field.

“Hollywood star, Stella!”

As a DJ, Luo Zachary shook his head, excitedly setting up the atmosphere, “In this lifetime, if you can see her dance once with your own eyes, you can brag about it for a lifetime! So everyone! Let’s cheer!”

On the stage, Joseph carried Stella and performed the dance steps, looking cool and elegant.

Isabella looked upset.

It was the first time she saw him dance, so handsome and professional.

She still remembered that on his birthday, she stepped on his leather shoes barefoot and danced the most special dance in her life.

Thinking of that, all the restlessness in her heart started to spread from that time, and then it developed until this day.

She didn’t want to think about it, but when she saw them on the stage, she felt heartbroken.

Cedric and Jayden were indeed Joseph’s good friends. When they saw him dancing with Stella, they also cheered. However, the moment Isabella lowered her head, Cedric was attentive enough to notice it. He lowered her head and asked, “How is it? Shall we go together?”

As he spoke, he grabbed Isabella’s hand and pulled her to the stage.

Unlike the cheers on Joseph’s side, Cedric did not want to join in the fun. Instead, he pulled Isabella to the side of the dance floor and gently jumped.

“Do you know why I chose a purple dress for you?”

Cedric asked in a soft voice.

Isabella thought for a moment, “Because you think I look good in purple? Or do you prefer purple?”

“No.”

“Because the first time I saw you, you were wearing purple.”

Cedric recalled, “Perhaps it is fate. I was young the first time I saw you. You were in a purple dress and looked like a little Princess. Seventeen years later, when I saw you again, you were still wearing a purple dress, but you were mature and more beautiful.”

Isabella recalled her happy childhood and said, “I really don’t remember much about that time. I’ll believe in you for now.”

Cedric smiled and pulled Isabella closer to him, “Isabella, we are a fated match. When are you going to marry me?”

Isabella was stunned.

“Don’t be like this.”

“I’m not joking with you, but don’t be so nervous. Have you thought about it these days?” Cedric smiled.

Isabella pursed his lips.

Cedric was excellent and gentle.

If she could have found him a month earlier, perhaps she would have been so eager to marry this gentle person and lead a happy life with him, but...

Isabella bit her lips and glanced at the center of the dance floor not far away. She looked a bit down.

“You can think it over.”

Cedric continued gently, “I have plenty of time and patience. Isabella, don’t be afraid of me. Don’t resist me. The only reason I want to be with you is that I like you.”

Isabella nodded. “Yes.”

“Bang!”

Joseph and Stella suddenly almost bumped into Isabella when she was thinking. Isabella couldn’t dodge in time and was about to collide. Cedric stood in front of her, keeping Isabella from getting hit.

“Ah! Sorry, Cedric.”

Joseph smiled evilly as he danced leisurely, “I was too focused.”

Then, he glanced at Isabella.
