402 Gifts

Handing a small box to Rosy, Joseph said, “You remember you love perfume, right? Last time, the engagement party, remember? Your perfume is too cheap and has no taste. I bought you a new one. Hopefully, it’s useful for you.”

Rosy felt disdainful when she saw Isabella and Joseph together. She even wanted to ignore Joseph for not making Isabella proud. However, Rosy was so eager to get a gift like the bracelet Joseph gave to Rosa.

Therefore, although a little bit reluctant, Rosy still accepted the perfume after a short while of hesitation. She opened the box, and then her eyes widened due to surprise. Rosy acclaimed, “‘Lost Lovers at Night’, really? I heard even those ladies in Paris found difficulties in buying it! Mr. Joseph, you’re amazing!”

Then Rosy realized something and continued, “Oh, God, Crap! I’m pregnant. It might not be good for the baby.”

Joseph narrowed his eyes and smiled. “It is not necessary to force yourself to use it. Remember? You are good at showing off. You can just tell others you have a bottle of ‘Lost Lovers at Night’.”

Rosy’s smile faded. She couldn’t understand why Joseph could be so annoying and condescending when he smiled kindly and gave other valuable gifts.

Joseph noticed Rosy’s doubt and said, “Take it easy. You are now related to me, so you must be classy. Otherwise, I will be ashamed, right?”

Rosy finally understood the disdain in Joseph’s words. Rosy was angry, but she could not lose her temper or leave. The only thing Rosy could do was grab her arm tightly to vent her anger, and she was trembling with pain and rage.

Joseph smiled coldly and looked at Lukas.

.....

Lukas had been more haggard after the scandal and Rosy’s bullying. There were bruises and scratches on Lukas’s face, so he had to keep himself away from the media.

Lukas had been a young and handsome man, but he was stubbly and looked strained and weary.

Joseph’s gift for Lukas was a high-tech anti-tracking device. Joseph said, “This is the latest self-developed product of my Global Group. I think it is especially suitable for a superstar like you. It can prevent the signals of the electronic devices and detect the approaching signals. With this device, you will never need to worry about the paparazzo.”

Lukas clenched his fists, and Rosy’s face turned pale, frowning.

Joseph smiled meaningfully and continued, “We will be relatives. I hope my sister-in-law, you, can pay more attention to your image, like Rosy. And never blacken my name.”

Lukas’s lips trembled. He asked, “Mr. Joseph, you said we will be relatives, right? Then may I know the relationship between you and Isabella, or what kind of relationship you will have?”

Joseph didn’t hide anything and answered, “Hugged, kissed, and slept.”

Then Joseph continued, “We have done everything lovers will do. So what are we in your eyes now? And I’m visiting the Smiths, calling you sister-in-law. Isn’t it clear?”

Holding Isabella’s hand, Joseph said happily, “We will get married. My grandpa will choose the day later. I’m here to get better known with Isabella’s families.”

Isabella was a little embarrassed by Joseph’s straightforwardness, but when she saw his gentle gaze, she felt moved. Feeling sweet, Isabella scratched Joseph’s palm gently.

Carl was shocked and shouted, “Mr. Joseph will marry Isabella!? The Smiths and the Wilsons will become relatives?!”

Joseph ignored Carl. He took out the largest rectangular box and pushed it to John. Joseph bent over and touched John’s head affectionately and said, “How amazing the genes are! You have shared at most half of Isabella’s genes and have already looked similar to her, which makes me somewhat pleasant looking at you.”

John was afraid of Joseph and trembled for his words. Carl didn’t notice John’s feelings and seized the opportunity to talk, “That’s great! Would Mr. Joseph help us to take good care of John? He is young but earnest and careful. Could he have the opportunity to learn at your group, Mr. Joseph?”

Joseph said with a gentle smile, “Of course. If there’s a chance, I’ll take care of this younger brother.”

Joseph then continued, “Take a look at the gift, little brother. See if you like it or not?”

John opened the box with trembling hands. He was stunned when he saw that the gift was a dagger.

“Swiss Army Knife. It takes me some effort to get the real one.”

Joseph smiled and said, “I heard that your legs had been broken by people from the underworld. Now, you may have an opportunity to defend yourself.”

John turned paler.

Joseph looked at John’s legs and smiled, “But you must keep the knife carefully. If your enemies get it, they can easily cut the tensions on your feet and hands with such a sharp thing.”

John became bewildered. He knew it was a good knife and an excellent gift when he saw it. But after hearing Joseph’s words, John was unsure if the knife was a gift or something else. John felt his hair had been raised for terror.

“As a man, you must protect your sister well, understand?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Joseph “intimately” stroked John’s head and smiled kindly, “It seems you fail to understand me. It’s OK. I can explain. I give you the knife because I want you to kill anyone who bullies Isabella with it. Now, have you understood?”

“Yeah... I think so,” John answered with trembling lips.

And John knew that the “anyone” contained himself.

Joseph smiled and then turned to the most crucial person, Carl Smith.

Carl straightened his back and looked back at Joseph eagerly. He couldn’t wait to know what his gift was.

Isabella tilted her head and looked at Joseph curiously. Joseph did not tell her in advance what gift he would give Carl.

And there was no box in Gerry’s hands.

Joseph smiled. He took out a blank check and wrote down the number. Joseph then delivered the check worthy of 50 million to Carl.

Carl opened his mouth wide and looked at Joseph in shock. Rosy covered her mouth in disbelief. Lukas frowned in confusion while John’s eyes were about to pop out of the sockets.

The expressions of the people present were so varied.

Carl took a long time before he found his voice, “Mr. Joseph... This is your gift for me, really?”
