Chapter 344: Chapter 344

344 Cedric Knows It

Cedric stood in front of Isabella, his chest heaving up and down in anger. “I have long felt that something was wrong. Now I know why you are very nice to Isabella. You have ulterior motives, right? We have been friends for many years. How could you do this? Joseph Wilson! I told you that Isabella is my girlfriend! I told you that no one is allowed to try to chase her.”

As he spoke, Cedric took off his coat and threw it to Isabella. “Isabella, go back to your room first. I’ll go to see you after a while.”

Isabella glanced at them and stood up without saying anything.

“Wait!”

Joseph suddenly asked, “Why are you leaving? Since Cedric already knows it, let’s make things clear today. Who is your boyfriend?”

Isabella was stunned, and so was Cedric.

“Well...”

Joseph wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Cedric with a sneer. “Cedric, Isabella, and I have been living together for a month. We’re going to get married after she graduates and I buy her a diamond ring. How could you discuss the matter with me? I didn’t say it before because I was afraid that you couldn’t find a face-saving way out.”

Cedric looked at Joseph in disbelief. “Getting married after graduation. She is your...”

.....

“Yes, she is my girlfriend and I dumped her in the West District.”

Joseph wore a cold smile. “The little fox was jealous and ran away from home because Stella was back. She just wanted to move on and forget me. Your relationship is temporary. Do you really think she can be with you for a long time?”

Then, Joseph laughed at himself. “I was really stupid. I checked lots of Bentley cars. I felt that it was just a coincidence whenever I saw you. I never asked you about it. I didn’t expect it’s really you.”

Cedric looked at Isabella. “Isabella, is Joseph the guy you mentioned before? Is he really your boyfriend?”

Isabella lowered her head and nodded after a long time. “I’m sorry, Cedric. I didn’t know you are good friends. If I had known it, I wouldn’t have agreed with what you said that night. I found out it when I got on the boat.”

Cedric looked at them in shock.

“It turns out...”

Cedric’s eyes were vacant-looking, and he took two steps back unsteadily. He looked at Isabella and said, “I see. It’s not that Joseph likes you. You were together before.”

Joseph’s eyes darkened as he walked toward Isabella. “I’m sorry, Cedric. It’s the end of the matter. I won’t tell anyone else about it. Anyway, thank you for saving Isabella that night. We had a quarrel that night. I didn’t expect that you would get involved. I hope that this has never happened. Can you just forget it for the sake of our friendship?”

Joseph reached out his hand and wanted to help Isabella up. Unexpectedly, Cedric slapped Joseph’s hand with a bang.

Joseph instantly frowned. “Cedric, what’re you doing?”

“She was your girlfriend.”

Cedric lowered her eyes and said coldly, “But it’s no longer the case now. You cheated on her, and you don’t love her. You just want her to give birth to a boy to carry the line of your family. Why do you think you’re qualified to be her boyfriend?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Joseph was enraged. “When did I cheat on her? You know the relationship between me and Stella. It’s impossible for me to be with her.”

“If Stella hadn’t chosen Kason, would you give up?”

Cedric also lost his temper. “You agree with Stella in everything. You said that you would only love Stella for the rest of your life! How could you have the cheek to say that you didn’t cheat on Isabella? We saw that you kissed her on that boat!”

Joseph grabbed Cedric’s collar. “It was a misunderstanding between her and me! Don’t drive a wedge between me and Isabella!”

“Whether it was a misunderstanding or not isn’t important.”

Cedric pushed Joseph away. “You did it anyway! Do you still think that you deserve to be Isabella’s boyfriend? When Isabella was surrounded by a group of hooligans in the West District and she was nearly raped. Where were you at that time? Where were you when she called you for help? I love Isabella devotedly. But what you’ve done for her? Joseph, you are not worthy of her! You can ask Isabella if she has confidence in you.”

Joseph looked at Cedric in shock, then glared at Isabella. “Isabella! Tell me! You were angry with me because you were jealous, right? You love me very much!”

Isabella looked at Joseph who had a swollen face and her eyes darkened. “I like you, but I won’t marry a man who has a foot in both camps. I don’t want to be heartbroken. Since you’re with another woman, we have nothing to talk about.”

Joseph was disappointed and threw his anger at Cedric. “Cedric Stretton, you drive a wedge between us!”

Joseph was simmering with rage and started fighting with Cedric.

Isabella looked at the two men hitting each other in the water. She got out of the water and her eyes dimmed for a moment. Then, she quickly ran away in her clothes.

Carl might find her if she returned to the room. She had nowhere to go. She held her phone and went to Joseph’s yacht.

Jayden stood among the girls on the beach and saw Isabella. He rolled his eyes and nudged Zachary in the ribs. “Hey! Actually, I always feel that Joseph likes Isabella.”

Zachary was basking in the sun. Hearing this, he lazily said, “I also like her.”

“Well, that’s different. You like all the women, don’t you?”

“Jayden, stop teasing me!”

Isabella returned to her room in the cabin and locked the door.

Then she sat on the ground exhaustedly.

Cedric knew it in the end.

Cedric knew her relationship with Joseph.

It was her fault. She hurt Cedric because of her vacillation.

Cedric told her that he wanted to go to the boat and watch the scenery with her. She didn’t want to refuse him when she saw the happiness in his eyes at that time.

She thought that since Cedric wanted to relax, she should accompany him. She planned to tell him that she could keep him company often, but they could only be friends.

She believed that Cedric was a mature and gentle person and he would understand her and get over it.

After all, they had only been together for a few days and did not have any deep feelings, so Cedric wouldn’t be hurt.

However, she had never expected that Joseph was the one who planned this trip. Joseph even brought Stella with him and often made Isabella distressed.

Therefore, she hesitated, and she changed her mind.

When Joseph hurt her, Cedric had been kept her company, treating her gently and helping her investigate the cause of her father’s death.

She thought that she should forget Joseph and start a new relationship.

However, Cedric knew it before she made up her mind.
