Chapter 88: Chapter 88

88 The Queen

Gerry was astounded. “Handsome?”

“I asked, do you think I am handsome?” Joseph urged with a gloomy face.

“Of course ... I do.” Gerry was at a loss, and his face was slightly blushed as he looked away.

“Then when do I look better? Now or before?”

Poor Gerry had never expected such a question, so when he heard this, he hesitated and stammered, “All .... all the time.”

Joseph’s eyes darkened. “Then my nostrils didn’t get bigger?”

Gerry was dumbfounded. “Nostrils? Of course ... not.”

Joseph rubbed his nose and said coldly, “Good. Otherwise, Isabella will be sorry for it!”

Seeing Joseph leave with fury, Gerry suddenly realized something....

.....

Just now, when Isabella was riding on Mr. Joseph’s neck, in order not to fall into the water, she seemed to have put her fingers into his nostrils and used them handles...

Gerry covered his face. Gosh, such a death-defying girl!

...

After Isabella returned to her room, she happily took a shower and changed her clothes. She looked forward to the sumptuous dinner.

Her phone rang.

Isabella saw that it was her mother, Rosa, and her good mood was instantly gone. She cautiously said, “Hello?”

“Isabella, why didn’t you come back this weekend?”

“I have activities at school,” Isabella lied. “I probably won’t be able to go back for the next few weekends. Mom, what’s up?”

“Nothing much. I just want a bottle of painkillers when you come back. The one you bought me was used up.”

“Painkillers?” Isabella said nervously, “What’s wrong? Did he hit you again?”

Rosa was silent for a while, “He just pushed me. He just happened to hit my injured shoulder, so...”

“He didn’t take you to a doctor?”

Isabella instantly burst into tears. “Your shoulder was injured yet he still hit there?”

“It’s okay, Isabella, don’t be sad...”

Although Rosa said that, she clearly choked up. “I just need some painkillers. I’m fine...”

“I will get you out of the Smith family! Mom! Give me some time, I will definitely get you out as soon as possible!”

“You silly child.... No, he’s back! I gotta go, don’t forget about that!”

The call was hung up.

As Isabella looked at the screen, and her heart was filled with bitterness and sadness.

Rosa was Carl’s cage bird.

She was well-clothed and well-fed, but she was often abused.

Because Carl restricted Rosa’s freedom to go out and to work, she did not have any financial resources.

Therefore, after being beaten, she was unable to see a doctor or buy medicine herself.

In other words, she didn’t even have the money to buy a bottle of painkillers...

Fortunately, after Isabella went to college, she was relatively free. In the past four years, she had several part-time jobs and lived frugally, and she saved some money.

At the very least, she could buy what she wanted. Although it was impossible for her to afford things like a house or a car, but her money was enough to buy some medicine...

However, she needed to find an opportunity to take her mother for a thorough physical examination. She felt that her mother’s pain was not just caused by her shoulder.

Without her around, that devilish man must have vented all his anger on her mother...

After dinner with Charlie, Isabella and Joseph held hands and went for a walk on the beach in an intimate manner...

However, this was just a method to help Joseph escape from the old man’s control. As expected, just as they were on the beach, women came to surround Joseph.

They were all clear about Isabella’s fake identity, so they were unscrupulously flirting with Joseph in front of her.

And Joseph was also very happy with the beauties in bikini. He made out with them and played games with physical contact with them.

Seeing Joseph like this and worrying about Rosa’s injuries, Isabella was somewhat annoyed, so she turned around and went in another direction.

Joseph kissed the bikini beauties and the game was over. Turning around, he saw that Isabella had gone, so he called Gerry over.

“She said that she wanted to be alone, and I was not allowed to follow.” Gerry said respectfully, “It’s been 10 minutes.”

“Oh, my sweetie might be jealous...”

Joseph smiled and pushed the surrounding women away. “You guys enjoy yourselves. I’ll go take a look.”

Then, he left regardless of all the beauties’ reluctance.

“Miss Isabella is a little absent-minded.”

When they were the only ones left, Gerry reported, “But I let someone secretly follow her.”

“Good.”

Joseph nodded in satisfaction. “I noticed it at dinner, so I brought her out to play games. However, she doesn’t seem to appreciate it. This boring woman!”

Gerry looked at the sexy beauties in the distance and helplessly lowered his head.

‘Mr. Joseph, so you wanted to make Isabella one of your women?’

But why would a normal girl want that?

Moreover, Isabella’s tough personality made it impossible!

They continued forward. The bodyguard who secretly followed Isabella saw them and came over to report Isabella’s whereabouts.

“Dance competition?”

Joseph raised his eyebrows and said, “I didn’t know that she liked dancing this much. Gerry, let’s go take a look.”

Isabella stood in front of the simple dance stage with admiration and excitement in her eyes.

She felt admiration because everyone here was talented, and they could dance whatever they wanted and their dance was wonderful. She felt excitement because...

There would be a reward of 10,000 for the champion.

She could pay for her mother’s medical expenses! This was such a good opportunity!

Isabella climbed onto the stage and happily asked the host, “Will the winner of the competition be awarded 10,000?”

Joseph happened to see this scene.

Then, he watched as Isabella and the dressed young men danced passionately.

The lights flashed and the atmosphere was lively. Cheers and applause never stopped.

Isabella became the queen.

Gerry looked at Joseph’s gaze that was getting colder with uneasiness.

He had followed Joseph for so many years, so he understood him well. When he spoke, or even when he hit someone, there was still room for negotiation, but if he stayed silent...

Gerry lowered his head and said, “Mr. Joseph, how about I bring Miss Isabella down?”

“No...”

Joseph stared fixedly at Isabella, who was on the stage, and stopped Gerry. “Go and tear down the stage.”

“Yes.”
