406 Departed Arrogantly
Gerry was stunned. Then he said, âBut itâs a valid check!â
âJust like Isabella said, Carl once helped them. Everything is still being investigated about the Slikeâs Restaurant. If he does not accept the check, I will not feel at ease ...â
A tint of gloomy light flashed across Josephâs eyes. Then he said, âNow that he accepted, it means that theyâre even. I have already repaid the debt for Isabella. In the future, itâs time to deal with the vexed happenings in the past.â
Gerry looked at Joseph in surprise. âYou mean you want to ...â
Joseph smiled, âI am a businessman, how could I always lose money? That 50 million is just kept by Carl temporarily. Before I get married, I donât want him to cause any trouble for me. Iâll control the Smith Design in the future. Not to mention 50 million, everything of Carl will be mine.â
Gerry looked at Joseph in a daze.
Over the past few days, Joseph and Isabella fell in love. Joseph was very gentle and tender to her. He was totally lost in romantic love.
Seeing him being like that, Gerry even forgot that he was a remarkably mysterious business king.
If Joseph was unwilling, who could take a penny from him?
.....
Joseph paused for a moment. Then he looked up and said, âAlright, Gerry. You did a good job today. Remember, you donât have to tell Isabella about this in the future. It would make her feel worried and uncomfortable. You could just tell me. Besides, donât tell her about our conversation. Arrange someone to take good care of her. But donât let her think that she can threaten me with her life. Itâs not good for her recovery...â
Joseph looked in the direction where Isabella had left. His eyes were full of affection. âIsabella lived so hard in the past. In the future, Iâll provide her with the best. The purest love and care ...â
...
It was a sumptuous dinner while the atmosphere was strange.
Hearing that Joseph and Isabella were going to get engaged, Carl began to flatter Joseph as much as he can.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Joseph answered his questions out of politeness. Rosa who was nearby smiled happily. Rosy focused all her attention on Joseph, staring at him all the time.
Lukas, on the other hand, lowered his head to eat food. He glanced at Isabella occasionally, who was smiling happily.
After finishing the dinner, Joseph held Isabella and left the Smithâs. Then he said that he would bring Rosa to hang out. Rosa had been spending all her time at home, being a housewife who couldnât go out freely.
Carl was confused at Josephâs inviting Rosa out to have fun without him. But considering that he needed to go to work, he left it alone. Moreover, he had 50 million dollars. He could go anywhere.
In an instant, he didnât bother about it at all.
Joseph drove the black and domineering Rolls-Royce away. Carl looked extremely excited and asked, âItâs the latest type of Rolls-Royce. Itâs so gorgeous and awesome!â
John asked curiously, âHow much is that?â
âI remember itâs over 20 million dollars. The price of the cushion equals to your expense for a year.â
John goggled his eyes and said, âIf Joseph is going to marry Isabella, he will be my brother-in-law. For godâs sake! He is so rich. I have to tell my classmates! With his back, nobody would dare to provoke me in the future!â
Carl narrowed his eyes and said, âYou are too young. What do you know? Whatâs the big deal of having him to support you? You have to know that Joseph is backed by the world-famous Wilson Consortium. As long as he agrees, he will give you some shares or a small company to manage. In the future, you will live a rich and happy life!â
âReally?â âWill Joseph really give me company or shares?â John asked excitedly.
âOf course, you and Isabella are related by blood. You are her brother.â
Carl said proudly, âItâs me who taught Isabella to behave like a lady. Then how could she attract a man like Joseph?â
Then, he said to John, âFind a chance to visit the Wilson Manor. If possible, it would be best to please Charlie. You should know that he truly controls the Wilson Consortium. As long as he says yes, you could own a huge amount of fortune!â
John forgot all the fear he had for Joseph immediately and couldnât help dancing happily.
Looking at the place where the Rolls-Royce had disappeared, Rosyâs eyes flickered.
Lukas did not notice Rosyâs change. He went forward to hug her. âLetâs go back, Rosy. Youâre pregnant now. Be careful of catching a cold.â
Rosy brushed away his hand suddenly and snorted. She sneered, âYou care about the child? Why didnât you think about it when you slept with Miles?â
As she spoke, she turned around and slapped the door.
Lukas was stunned. Carl also snorted, âLukas, weâre going to have a close relationship with the Wilson Consortium. Youâd better end your relationship with Miles as soon as possible. Donât embarrass us anymore. I heard that Charlie values family upbringing very much. If you affects Isabella marrying into the Wilsons, I will reconsider your marriage with Rosy!â
Lukas was stunned. âDoes our father ask Isabella if she is really happy to marry Joseph? Thereâs lots of worries to deal with in rich and powerful families. Marrying into the purple like the Wilson Group, shouldnât she have pressure?â
Carl ignored Lucas and said furiously, âAs long as she get married to a rich man like Joseph, wouldnât it be better than living here? What are you talking about?! Isabella should be glad that she was gorgeous enough to hook up with him! What pressure? As long as you have money, you can solve any problem.â
Saying this, she turned around and walked towards the door.
John followed up happily immediately and discussed happily with Carl about how to find a chance to play at the Wilson Manor.
Lukas clenched his fists and looked down. He looked so gloomy.
Noticing this, Rosa walked over and said gently, âLukas, itâs windy outside. Come on in. You know about Carl. Donât mind it too much.â
Lukas then raised his head and looked at Rosa, who was as gentle as Isabella. He smiled and said, âThank you, mom. I was the one to be blamed.â
âI heard that you are busy with your parents âcompany. You sleep very late every day. Donât work so tiredly.â Rosa said softly, âYou need to deal with your relationship with Miles properly. But remember to comfort Rosy. Pregnant women are more sensitive. If youâre obedient to her, maybe she will forgive you. I believe that it wonât happen anymore.â
âThank you, mom.â
Lukas smiled and lowered his head. He tried to suppress the tears...
