Chapter 177

177 Can I Hit You

Her tears wet the ground in front of her. She tightly clapped her hands to her mouth and her fingers were covered with blood.

However, she did not make a sound.

“Isabella...”

Taking a step forward in a panic and confusion, Lukas suddenly realized and turned to look at Joseph angrily, “Joseph! You promised to keep it a secret!”

Joseph looked at him with dark eyes, “Of course, only the people present know what happened today. You never found out that Isabella is here, so it’s not my fault.”

Lukas looked at Isabella again, his eyes filled with regret and sadness, “Isabella, please listen to me...”

“What did you want to say?”

Unexpectedly, Isabella immediately responded to Lukas.

“You want to say you married my sister to repay the kindness. You sold me out for your family’s business. And you denied the fact that you confessed to me for the sake of the Smith family’s connections?”

.....

Isabella took her hand and her lips were covered in blood because she bit her lips hard to not make any sound. She asked in a sharper and more determined tone, “Or you want to say you knew that I was abused, but you never thought of saving me? It turned out that you never loved me, and it’s just wishful thinking on my part.!”

“I had no choice! This contract is too important to me! You know that I have always wanted to redeem my parents’ business. That is the wish of my parents!”

Lukas wanted to touch Isabella, but he did not dare to do so because Isabella looked at him in despair and hatred at this moment without any tenderness.

“Don’t say anymore. It’s ridiculous.”

Isabella stood up with holding the pillar. She pushed Lukas away resolutely and walked towards Joseph, who had been silently watching from the side.

“Are you satisfied? Mr. Joseph?” Isabella stood in front of Joseph and looked up at him disgustedly.

“I’m very satisfied.”

Joseph smiled and didn’t care about Isabella’s anger at all. He just gently pinched her chin and looked down at her bleeding red lips, “So Lukas is priceless for you, but in his eyes, you are quite valuable... you are worth 100 million dollars.”

Lukas trembled, “Isabella...”

“To celebrate my victory, I am going to kiss Isabella, the new girl I had got. Are you sure you want to continue watching?”

Joseph smiled and looked at Lukas contemptuously, “My sweet is very shy and not a good kisser. She is a pure little girl and has liked you for many years. You are a gentleman because you haven’t got her.”

Lukas looked at Isabella in a daze but Isabella’s eyes were filled with hatred but tenderness. Thus, he said with great difficulty, “Sorry, I’ll leave now.”

Then he turned around.

“Wait.”

“I still have a thing I want to return to you.” Isabella suddenly said.

Lukas was confused, “What?”

Isabella raised her head and looked at Joseph, “Can you lend me your coat for a while?”

Joseph was puzzled, but he still took off his suit and handed it to Isabella. Isabella covered it and asked, “Could you hug me for a while?”

Joseph reached out to wrap her up.

Facing him, Isabella began to take off her dress.

Joseph raised his eyebrows and understood what did Isabella want to do, He smiled evilly as he glanced at naked Isabella. Lukas’s face was pale, “No! No need. Isabella, if you don’t want it, just throw it away! Don’t do this!”

He did not want to see this, which hurt him greatly.

Isabella was pure and flawless. Although he sold her, she should be corrupted and embarrassed.

Isabella ignored him and the dress fell to the ground. She put on Joseph’s coat and walked to Lukas, and stuffed the dress into his hands. She looked at him coldly and said, “This dress is yours and now I return it to you. The candy and biscuits that I owed you when I was a child were considered to be returned with that I took good care of you in the hospital for half a year. In the future, I have nothing to do with you. Although you are my brother-in-law, I don’t have fraternal love for Rosy. So, please don’t do any hypocritical things to me as my brother-in-law. If you do, I will tell Mr. Joseph that you break the contract.”

Holding the dress, Lukas opened his mouth but said nothing. Joseph, who was sitting by the pavilion and feeding the fish, smiled and called, “My sweet, come here quickly. If you still talk to a strange man without wearing pants, I will spank your butt.”

Isabella looked at Lukas deeply, turned around, and walked straight to Joseph. Then she took the initiative to sit on his laps and buried her face in his chest, giving a light nudge, “I’m sorry, Master. I won’t dare to do it again.”

Lukas finally shed tears and turned to leave...

After a long time, Isabella began to sob lightly in the pavilion.

Then the sobbing voice grew louder.

In the end, she cried loudly.

Isabella cried in pain. The strength that she had deliberately displayed when facing Lukas had been completely shattered. She cried as if to vent her affection to Lukas for decades of years.

She liked Lukas for many years. Her love was like vines rooted in her body and it was very painful and tough to pull them out of her body.

Listening to Isabella’s crying, Joseph didn’t say anything and continued to throw food into the lake, but his sights came serious.

His chest was drenched by Isabella’s tears and snot. Although he had always been a neat freak and did not like to dirty his clothes, he did not push her away.

“If you are really angry, I will allow you to hit me.”

After a long while, Joseph said with throwing fish food in his hands.

“Can I hit you twice?” Isabella sobbed.

“... Since you just broke up, that’s fine.”

“Can I hit your head?”

“Why don’t you try?”

Isabella started to cry loudly again.

“Alright... alright, you can hit my head, but you have to keep my hairstyle.”

Isabella stretched out her hand and lightly flicked Joseph’s forehead twice.

Joseph smiled. “What’s wrong? Are you unwilling to hit me?”

“You had hurt me greatly which could not be resolved with just a few hits on you. I have been secretly in love with him for more than ten years, but you ruined it. I hate you.”

“So, to take revenge on me, you deliberately took off your clothes in front of him?”

“I just don’t want to owe him anything. I don’t want to see him again,” Isabella muttered.

Joseph looked at the red marks on Isabella’s face and the bloodstains on her lips. Suddenly, he couldn’t help but lower her head and kiss her.

Isabella was so frightened that she dodged backward. After thinking for a while, she moved closer but did not dare to bump into Joseph. She only blushed and said, “There’s blood on my lips, it’s not clean.”
