Chapter 98: Chapter 98

98 Test Their Love of Siblings

Isabella trembled as she looked at the reflection of herself in the window glass.

Her neck, chest, arms, belly ... were all covered with bruises.

In the blurry reflection on the glass, she looked like a broken doll with rotten sores.

“Have you seen it clearly?”

Joseph was raged. He turned around and fiercely ordered, “Gerry, beat that brat! Break his limbs!”

“Yes!”

“No! Isabella, help me! Help me...”

“No!”

Isabella was awakened by John’s shout. She turned around and grabbed Joseph. She knelt down by Joseph and begged, “Please, Joseph. John is a bastard, but he is my brother. Blood is thicker than water. I can’t just watch him suffer. He was once an innocent kid, and he was my beloved brother...”

.....

“Blood is thicker than water...”

Joseph looked at Isabella, who was pleading with him bitterly. Joseph was especially angry. He wanted to wake this woman up by scolding, but his eyes turn cold and he said, “Good, very good, Isabella. So this is your weakness.”

After saying that, he got rid of Isabella and walked towards John.

“John, when are you going to pay back the money you owe me at the casino of Wilson Group?” Joseph looked down coldly at John.

John immediately hugged Joseph’s leg and begged humbly, “Mr. Joseph, I’ll pay you back in a month... No! Half a month! Stop beating me! I’ll pay back in a week, OK?”

Joseph waved his hand, signaling Gerry to stop. Then, he crouched down and said to John, “Actually, you don’t have to pay me back, but I have a condition.”

“What ... what is the condition?”

John was very afraid of Joseph. He used to be arrogant, so it was rare for him to be afraid of someone.

Joseph pointed at Isabella, who was not far behind him. He said, “You should be aware of that I’m interested in your sister. I don’t like to force women. If you persuade her to sleep with me for a month, I may be delighted and forget about you for now.”

John widened his eyes in shock.

Isabella was standing up leaning on the wall. She was also shocked to hear it.

“Hurry up.”

Joseph leaned over and patted John’s face. He put on a wicked and playful smile. “I’ll give you five minutes. Your limbs are counting on this. You must succeed!”

The black-clothed man immediately untied John’s hand. John was given finally temporary freedom.

He looked at Isabella and his eyes shining with the light of seeing a life-saving straw.

Seeing John’s greedy looking, Isabella was terrified and she leaned against the wall tightly.

She wished she had the ability to walk through walls, so that she could leave this warehouse and fled to a place where no one would ever find her.

She was terrified from her soul now.

If John tried to persuade her to betray her dignity for him, how should she face the phrase “blood is thicker than water”?

She could beg for mercy and be beaten for her younger brother, but what could her once lovely younger brother do for her?

She didn’t dare to think.

Joseph was too ruthless.

He didn’t directly do something to her. Instead, he asked John to make the choice.

He was testing the love between the siblings–Isabella and John.

“You still have four minutes left!”

Gerry’s loud and clear voice resounded throughout the entire warehouse. Isabella was frightened and she trembled.

“Isabella...”

John finally spoke. He slowly got up and walked towards Isabella, dragging his broken leg.

“John.”

Isabella leaned her back against the wall and said in a trembling voice, “What are you doing?”

“It was all my fault. I shouldn’t have bullied you, robbed you of your money, or hit you....”

John cried as he walked, “Isabella, will you forgive me?”

Isabella looked at John. In her mind, she saw the helpless little boy who had been bullied asking for her help. She couldn’t help but reach out and say with affection, “I forgive you. Let’s go back together and see a doctor, and then ask father to help you pay the money to Mr. Joseph, okay?”

“But... What should I do...?”

John held Isabella’s hand and cried bitterly, “I owe Mr. Joseph too much money. Isabella, Dad will beat me to death if he knows that.”

Isabella had a horrible feeling. She blankly said, “Even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs. Dad loves you so much. He definitely won’t...”

“He will! Isabella! You know best how cruel Dad will be when he gets angry! He will definitely kill me!”

John suddenly hugged Isabella and shouted, “Save me! Isabella! Stay with Mr. Joseph. He likes you and he is rich. How lucky you are to be with him!”

Isabella felt something shattering in his chest, “John ... what are you talking about?”

“It’s just a month!”

John shook Isabella excitedly, and craziness appeared in his eyes. “Isabella, it is in your best interest. There are so many women who want to sleep with Mr. Joseph. Do you know how rare your chance is? You can save me as well as be with Mr. Joseph. Isabella, how lucky you are!”

Isabella looked down at John. Tears were streaming down her cheeks, but her eyes were filled with extreme disappointment.

“One minute left!”

“Isabella! Please!”

John hugged Isabella’s waist and said, “We are biological siblings!”

“20! 19! 18...”

“Isabella! It’s not a big deal to sleep with a man for a few times!”

At the countdown, John started shouting, “You’re a slut! It’s not like you’ve never slept with men! I know you’re not a virgin!”

Isabella cried silently.

“10! 9!” As Gerry counted down, the black-clothed man stepped forward to pull John.

“You go socializing with rich people on weekends. Why are you pretending to be pure and lofty now? You’re just trying to get revenge on me! You’re a bitch!”

John was dragged away, but he was pulling on Isabella’s trousers. He angrily said, “No wonder Lukas doesn’t want you. You’re so dirty! Slut!”

“Time’s up.”

Gerry coldly announced. He turned to Joseph and said, “Mr. Joseph, please give me instructions.”

Joseph had been looking at Isabella from beginning to end. She was hopeful at first, and then she was helpless, was despaired, and was finally humiliated.

Joseph looked away and he did not give any instructions on how to deal with John.

For some reason, he suddenly wavered for what he had done today.

Or rather, he regretted.

He didn’t regret teaching John a lesson.

Instead, he regretted using such an evil method to force Isabella to make a choice....

He looked down and pursed his lips. He seemed to have finally made up his mind.

He walked to Isabella and gently lifted her chin with his fingertips, forcing her to look straight at him. “Isabella, since you had helped me, I will make it easier for you. As long as you say something nice to plead with me, I will let your brother off.”
