Chapter 179

179 Torturing Him Requires Patience

In regards to Lukas’s case, Joseph felt that Isabella was much more mature than she had been in John’s case.

Although she was sad, she was not confused.

Hypocritical feelings should not be left. They should be eliminated decisively.

Otherwise, the one who would be hurt in the end would be herself.

If she gave him the right, he could hurt her. If she took back the right, no one could hurt her...

As for Isabella in the Smith family...

Although Gerry’s investigation was not very clear, and the servants of the Smith family were more tight-lipped than he had imagined, Joseph had a faint feeling that Isabella might have been abused in the Smith family. However, he also felt that since she was so smart, she should not be just abused. Moreover, she had agreed with him a long time ago that Carl could not know their relationship.

Moreover, once he really interfered with her family problems, he should protect her to the end and be responsible for her future life...

‘To be responsible for her future life... Does it mean marrying her? Do I have to marry a disobedient woman like Isabella? But, she’s very cute. When I was with her, I was really happy and didn’t want her to cry. Besides me, I don’t want anyone to bully her and covet her...’

.....

Joseph sat in the office, startled by his sudden idea and shook his head in a hurry.

His feelings for her, who he had only known for half a month, should not be so deep.

‘Even if I want to protect her, I can do it by threatening the Smith family.’

Joseph knocked his head. ‘How could I think of marriage? I will be free for at least ten or eight years before considering this kind of binding relationship! Isabella is a rude woman. How can she be my wife? What a joke! Why did I suddenly think of these inexplicable questions when I was working...?’

Gerry stood at the side and called out to Joseph countless times, but there was no response. He could only stand there obediently and watch Joseph’s expression change awkwardly.

Sometimes Joseph would smile and sometimes he would be angry while shaking his head or grabbing his hair.

‘Mr. Joseph, what’s wrong with you recently? I don’t understand!’

‘Aren’t you always cold? But now it’s like you are drugged by Isabella. Do you know that the things you have done recently are very surprising in your surprising life...?’

‘You let a woman ride on your neck and rub your nose. You wash the dishes, be treated like a donkey by a woman, ignore your image, and use a suit to wipe her nose...’

“Gerry! What are you doing? If you dare to be distracted again, I’ll drive you away!”

When Gerry returned to his senses, he saw Joseph roaring at him.

“...”

Gerry was helpless. “I just want to report that I have set up a team according to your instructions. I can guarantee that we will destroy the Smith Design in half a month.”

“Destroy the Smith Design?” Joseph was stunned. “When did I say we were going to ruin the Smith Design?”

“Didn’t you say... that you didn’t like Carl?”

Gerry paused.

Joseph gave a hearty laugh. “That’s right, so how can I feel satisfied with destroying the Smith Design? That’s too boring. Torturing him requires patience.”

“Then...”

“Two times a week on average. Find a few capable people to block Carl when they are bored.” Joseph said, “It’s boring to only let Carl lose money. The torture begins with the physical. Let him feel the pain first, and then make him suffer emotionally and financially. Finally, I’ll watch him struggle and despair. We have to make it step by step. It will be more interesting, won’t it?”

“Yes.”

Gerry looked at Joseph’s scheming face and wiped the sweat on his forehead. “I also want to ask how you’re going to celebrate this year’s birthday.”

Joseph waved his hand. “Whatever. When have I ever cared about this kind of matter?”

“Yes, then William and I will have full authority to make arrangements.”

...

After the engagement, Isabella received a piece of news from Rosa.

After Lukas pushed Rosy at the wedding, Rosy went to the hospital for a checkup and found out that she was pregnant.

Although there was no abortion, she had to stay in the hospital to keep the baby.

This made Carl very angry, and Lukas felt very guilty.

When Isabella heard this news, she was extremely terrified. She was afraid that Carl would call her back and teach her a lesson. Fortunately, after two or three days, not only did Carl not find trouble with her, he did not even ask about the matter of the engagement.

Isabella did not know it. The general information she got from Rosa was that Rosy did not allow Charlie to trouble her.

The pig could fly.

There must be something more to it.

However, Isabella did not want to have any contact with the Smith family at all, so she did not want to think too much about it. She would only make the next step according to the situation.

A few days later, when Isabella returned to the Wilson Manor after school, she saw many workers picking roses in the garden. Carriages of roses were transported into the secondary building. The scene was very busy.

When Isabella entered, William was standing at the door with a smile to welcome her. Isabella asked curiously, “Why do the roses in the garden be cut off? Are they sick?”

“It is to celebrate Mr. Joseph’s birthday in a few days.”

“Because it will be decorated with roses from the gate to the main entrance, the quantity is too large. The roses must be harvested and stored in advance.” William explained as he took Isabella’s bag.

Isabella was stunned. “Joseph’s birthday is coming?”

“Yes, the day after tomorrow.”

William smiled and said, “At that time, some distinguished guests will be invited. There will be the inner court and the outer court. Not only will there be star performances to liven things up, but there will also be fireworks. In short, it will be very lively and grand.”

“I see...”

Isabella looked down and said thoughtfully, “I don’t know at all...”

“Isabella! Isabella! You came back at the right time!”

When Charlie saw Isabella, he excitedly said, “Come over quickly. Let me show you the birthday present I prepared for Joseph. Which one is better?”

“Coming!”

Isabella immediately followed Charlie into the room.

There was a tea set and a small black box on Charlie’s table.

“I got this tea set at the auction. It is the work of a famous master in the world. This is the only one in the world. Look at the color. It touches well.”

“This is truly the best.” Charlie praised.

Then, he picked up the small black box and placed it in front of Isabella. “Smell it.”
