Chapter 254

254 Joseph Was Missing

The surrounding people laughed again. The scriptwriter heard her words and whispered with Director Lee. Director Lee nodded, “You are right! You take the initiative to jump up and have a sweet kiss with the hero!”

“I see!”

Lukas looked at Isabella in confusion. As soon as Director Lee shouted to start, Isabella suddenly jumped up and hung on to him. He reflexively reached out and hugged her. Isabella immediately took the initiative and kissed him warmly.

Lukas realized what Isabella planned to do.

She took the initiative, not for the plot, but to prevent him from doing something intimate to her.

Unfortunately, she had underestimated his acting skills.

Lukas pulled out a hand and wrapped it around her face, kissing her warmly and sweetly.

“That’s good! Keep it up! The sweet and intense kiss is what I wanted to show!”

Director Lee was excited, and there was a round of applause.

.....

The kissing scene finally passed smoothly. After stopping, Lukas immediately let Isabella go politely. He smiled, “Congratulations, Isabella! You have successfully passed the first kiss scene in your life.”

“It’s mainly due to your guidance.”

Isabella nodded. Although Lukas was calm, she felt a little strange, so she did not say anything more and turned to leave.

Lukas watched her figure disappear into the distance. He put away the gentle smile on his face and his eyes darkened.

After Isabella finished her work, she was unable to contact Joseph when she returned to the Wilson Manor at night. She watched the news about Stella’s being kidnapped on the public transportation television. When she thought about Joseph, she became more anxious.

“Did Joseph call home?”

As soon as she entered the house, Isabella asked William impatiently.

“No. The bodyguard team reported their schedule to me in the afternoon. They said they had arrived. After that, there was no news from them.”

“Mr. Joseph did not contact you?” William asked.

“He didn’t!”

“Look, I can’t contact him. He even didn’t reply to me. Could something have happened to him when he was saving someone? What should we do now?” Isabella anxiously raised her phone.

William immediately said, “Miss Isabella, don’t worry. I’ll contact Gerry now.”

“Hurry please!”

Isabella stood by the phone anxiously waiting for William to contact Gerry, but it was still unanswered.

“I’ll call the bodyguard team.”

William frowned. However, the call was still unanswered.

Isabella’s face turned pale with fright. Six bodyguards were accompanying Joseph. There were a total of seven people including Gerry. Now, they couldn’t even contact. It was quite abnormal!

William was a little panicked. He said, “I’ll ask the people in America to contact Mr. Joseph right now!”

“What happened?”

Charlie’s dignified voice came from the stairs. Isabella immediately turned around. She said, “Grandpa, we can’t contact Joseph. What should we do?”

“You can’t contact him?”

Charlie frowned, “Maybe he has something to do and has no time to contact us. Don’t worry, Isabella.”

“Master Wilson.” William said seriously, “I can’t contact Gerry and the six bodyguards!”

“What?!”

Charlie quickly knocked on his cane, “William, quickly contact the flight and the hotel in America! Find Joseph’s whereabouts!”

“Yes!”

When Isabella saw Charlie sitting down shakily, she quickly poured him some water. Although she knew that crying could not solve any problems, she wiped her tears secretly. She had never encountered such an emergency before, not to mention that something happened to Joseph.

She had just fallen in love with him who was just about to give her warmth.

Everyone in Wilson Manor took action. The housekeeping group was responsible for contacting all aspects of America to find Joseph’s whereabouts. The bodyguards were responsible for contacting the local forces in America to find Joseph.

Until 10 o’clock in the evening, there was still no news of Joseph.

William persuaded Charlie and Isabella to have a rest. After Isabella sent Charlie back to his room, she sat in Joseph’s room in a daze.

It was as if she was dreaming.

Joseph carried her and teased her last night. He said that he would buy her the biggest diamond ring. However, she lost all his news after one day.

What would she do if something happened to him?

Isabella closed her eyes, wanting to escape from those bad thoughts, but she still couldn’t do it.

She had never been to America. She did know nothing about the customs there. It was what made her even more terrified.

She only knew that owning guns there was legal. It could kill people in a single shot from afar.

Isabella shivered and buried her face in her knees, curling herself into a ball.

Tears rolled down her arms. She was scared of losing Joseph.

Why didn’t she stop Joseph from leaving? Why didn’t she tell grandpa? If grandpa knew Joseph was going to take the risk, he would stop him...

Why was she so stupid!?

What should she do now? Why can’t she contact him? How should she contact him? She didn’t even know who he went to save...

“I remember!”

Isabella suddenly thought of something and hurriedly jumped down from the bed. She rushed downstairs and quickly ran into Charlie’s room. She said anxiously, “Grandpa! Grandpa! I remember! Before Joseph left last night, he picked up Zachary’s call!”

There were Angelina and William in Charlie’s room. They were watching the news on TV.

Isabella was stunned. She never expected that they would be huddled together to watch the news. Angelina quickly turned on the TV and walked over to gently wipe away the tears on Isabella’s face. She avoided her gaze and asked, “Isabella, why haven’t you slept yet?”

Isabella was keenly aware of the difference in Angelina’s tone. She asked directly, “Do you have news of Joseph?”

Angelina glanced at Charlie. Charlie sighed softly and looked at Isabella. He said solemnly, “Isabella, we just received news that Joseph entered the place where the criminals were and negotiated with them face to face.”

...

Isabella had forgotten how she returned to the room, but when she closed the door, she could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

Why did it have to be Joseph who went in to negotiate? Although he was smart and capable, he was not a professional policeman or a negotiation expert!

He was a person who acted toughly. Would the kidnapper kill him in anger?

Why did things develop into the most dangerous situation? Why did what she was most worried about become reality?

Her father was blown to pieces, and the man who loved her most was whereabouts unknown.

How cruel was her destiny!

Isabella covered her face and could no longer hold back the fear of losing Joseph. She shouted loudly...

There was a knock on the door.

“Isabella! Are you awake? Isabella!”

After crying for an unknown period of time, Angelina’s urgent knocking sounded from outside the door.
