âDo you want me to stay here?â
The answer was no for sure!
âBut if make him leave, would he be really mad at me?â
Isabella let go of Joseph and hesitated, not knowing what to say.
âWell.â
Joseph smiled coldly, âIf you really donât want to, just say so. Iâm just a devil to you. You wonât be comfortable with a devil around, will you?â
Isabella didnât say anything. Obviously she was not denying it.
âDiving, motorboat, Spa...â
Joseph walked towards the door. There was disappointment in his eyes, âYou can play whatever you want to.â
.....
âI will take photos and send them to you!â Isabella looked up and said, âWell, I will make sure that you see all the fun photos!â
Joseph paused and coldly snorted, âNo bother. Itâs so boring!â
Then he walked out of the door and left.
Isabella stood by the window and watched the helicopter disappear from her sight. On it, there was the flame-shaped crest of the Wilson family. Somehow, she suddenly felt a little bit lost.
Lost?
No! She was happy!
Yes! She was finally free! Joseph, the devil, had finally left!
...
Someone was knocking on the door. Isabella immediately sat upright and cleared her throat. âPlease come in.â
William, the housekeeper, came in with a dining cart and said with a smile, âI heard youâre awake. Here is your breakfast.â
âThank you.â
Isabella stood up and said, âTake a rest. I can help myself.â
William tactfully refused, âThis is my job.â
Then he took out a box and handed it over to Isabella, âThis is a gift from Mr. Joseph.â
âA gift?â
Isabella opened up the box with doubt.
There were two things in total: a sky blue bikini and a wristband of Tears of Blue Mirror.
Isabella touched the flame crest on the wristband, which was extremely domineering with golden red patterns, and asked, âThis is...?â
âThis is Mr. Josephâs wristband. With it, not only can you enjoy top treatment and play all the games, you can also be served by any stuff anywhere on the island. Anyway, I hope you can enjoy yourself today.â William said with a smile.

The Global Group, Peace City Headquarter, Presidentâs Office, 10:00 a.m.
Joseph threw all the documents on the ground and said, âWhat a mess! Is this your proposal?â
Several executives stood in front of him with their hands lowered, trembling with fear.
âGet it redone!â
Joseph said angrily, âI want to see your revised proposal before 6 oâclock tonight. Hand in your proposal, or hand in your resignation!â
âYes!â
Everyone immediately ran out of the presidentâs office, fearing that the furious Joseph would chop them into pieces alive if they stayed there longer.
Gerry tidied up the mess on the ground silently. Looking at Joseph, who was pinching his nose, he hesitated for a moment and said, âMr. Joseph, do you want to take a break?â
âNo.â
Gerry hesitated for a moment again. âActually, things here can be done remotely. Why donât we return to the Tears of Blue Mirror...?â
âNo need to!â Joseph refused loudly.
...
Incoming text message interrupted their conversation. Gerry took up the phone and handed it over to Joseph, âMr. Joseph, itâs from Miss Isabella.â
Joseph frowned, âLeave it! I donât want to see it.â
âAnother one. Itâs still an MMS.â
Joseph grabbed the phone.
It was two photos.
The first one was Isabella wearing a blue bikini and making faces with a king crab in her arms. It was noted as âMr. Joseph, thank you for your gift. It is very pretty and it fits me well!â
âThe work of a famous internationally designer of course fits you well. And itâs pretty for sure.â
âThis innocent girl definitely doesnât know that it is delivered here by plane overnight.â
The second photo was Isabella holding a bucket in her diving suit and laughing happily with a little sea snake in her hand. No notes on this photo.
âAll the girls pick pretty coral or something cute. This woman is really sassy. She directly catches a sea snake.â
âIsnât she afraid of getting bitten?â
However, this bright smile...
Yesterday, she cried as if she had nothing left in the world and today she could be this happy.
âWhat a fickle woman.â
Just as Joseph was thinking, a third photo came.
A bunch of people was playing something like beach volleyball in the photo.
Standing in the first row were girls in bikinis, and the second were boys wearing beach pants.
Isabella sat in the middle and laughed happily, doing a peace gesture with her hands.
And she was the only girl wearing sun-protective clothing.
Joseph frowned.
However, what made him even more concerned was Isabellaâs sitting posture.
Although there were legs covering, the position of the briefs and thighs was still...
Moreover, there was a boy behind her who placed his hand on her shoulder. It was simply...
âPost such photos to provoke me. You are courting death!â
Joseph threw his phone away and continued to work.
Gerry looked at him in confusion.
In just a few minutes, Josephâs expression was becoming truly uneasy. It was only several photos.
Sometimes he was relaxed and with smile on his face. At other times, he frowned and threw away his phone angrily.
Damn. Whatâs wrong with Mr. Joseph lately? Could it be that heâs schizophrenic due to too much pressure...
âGerry!â
Joseph suddenly roared. Gerry was shocked and said, âMr. Joseph, what can I do for you?â
âGet the helicopter ready! I want to go back!â
Joseph stood up impatiently and said, âIt seems that the damn girl still doesnât know what she did! She needs to be fixed!â
âYes, sir....â
The lion was enraged. He thought that the little fox under his claws had deliberately used ambiguous photos to challenge him.
At noon, Isabella was eating seafood with Charlie.
âIsabella, do you enjoy yourself for the past two days?â
âYes, of course. I dived, rode a motorboat, and played beach volleyball.â
Isabella said happily, âItâs really fun!â
âLet Joseph bring you over more often.â
.....
Charlie smiled and said, âI hope that your cheerful personality can make an effect on Joseph. He is too boring.â
...
Isabella laughed, âWould a grandpa actually think his own grandson boring?â
âYes. Taking over the family business too early makes him more mature than others in his age.â
Charlie thought for a moment and said, âEven when I talk to him, I feel like we are having a conversation about business. I hate it. Besides, he has been doing things behind my back these past few years. Heâs simply a young man who is willing to do anything to achieve his goals. Although this is also the way I did things when I was young.â
âSo thatâs what heâs like to you....â
Isabella was a little surprised.
âNo. Of course he wasnât like this in the past. Ever since...â Charlie paused.
Isabella asked, âSince what?â
