Chapter 317

317 He Is Depressed

It was impossible.

Although it was clearly his fault, he would not make himself feel wronged at all.

He would always walk his own path, leaving others with no path to walk.

If this matter was exposed, the one who would suffer the most would be Cedric for sure.

From beginning to end, he didn’t have a clue and was innocent.

Joseph saw that Isabella was looking at him with an unfriendly gaze and narrowed his eyes at her. It looked as if their eyes were fighting.

Isabella was defeated and turned her face away.

Cedric was so sensitive that he noticed their movements.

Cedric pulled Isabella towards his arms and introduced him generously, “This is my good friend, Joseph. This yacht is his. He invited us to Tears of Blue Mirror. Isabella, come and say hi to him.”

.....

Then Cedric smiled at Joseph, “Joseph, this is my girlfriend, Isabella.”

Isabella was stunned and obediently lowered her eyes. “Mr. Joseph, thank you for your invitation.”

Joseph smiled disdainfully.

Isabella’s face turned pale.

“Why are you pretending? Are you pretending that we don’t know each other?”

Joseph reached out and patted Isabella’s shoulder. Isabella felt that the sweat on her forehead was about to drop. Joseph was indeed a troublemaker. He did not care about others’ feelings at all.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you remember me?”

Joseph smiled evilly.

Isabella frowned. He knew that Joseph was deliberately making things difficult for her.

Best

Just as Isabella was thinking about how to deal with Joseph, Joseph suddenly changed the topic, “Your father Carl took you to greet me at Mr. Alfredo’s party. How could you forget so quickly, Miss Isabella?”

Isabella raised her eyes and looked at Joseph with a little surprise.

Joseph’s eyes flashed with a sharp light. “And you even spilled wine on my pants. Have you forgotten such an important thing?”

Isabella’s face flushed. She was thinking of a way to deal with Joseph.

Joseph smiled. Just as he was about to say something, Cedric suddenly pulled Isabella into his embrace. “There were so many people at the party that day. Isabella has a bad memory. It’s normal that she doesn’t remember.”

Cedric’s expression was very serious.

Joseph frowned.

“Stella was looking for you just now.”

Cedric warmly said to Joseph, “Joseph, you should go. Otherwise, Stella might get angry. You know she can’t leave you right now.”

“Alright.”

Joseph nodded and glanced at Isabella gloomily. Then he smiled at Isabella and left.

Isabella finally felt relieved.

Sure enough, she would always feel nervous when she was with Joseph.

“Are you alright?”

Cedric shook Isabella and stared at her seriously. “Don’t worry about Joseph. He has a bad temper. Recently, a woman dumped him, so he has been a little perverted.”

Isabella forced a smile. Her smile was so ugly right now.

“Alright.”

Cedric laughed, “I know that you know them, but it’s fine. As long as they know that you are mine, they won’t do anything to you anymore. In the past, you were just an insignificant girl to them, but from today on, they will treat you as well as they treat me. They are all my friends.”

Isabella nodded thoughtfully. “So Joseph is always like this even when he is with his friends, right?”

“No matter who he is with, he is like this.”

Cedric smiled and pointed at his head. “Although he is very smart when it comes to doing business, he doesn’t know how to be nice to others. We all know that.”

Isabella could not help but laugh mockingly. “Really?”

“Yes, that’s why we won’t argue with him.”

When Cedric saw that Isabella had relaxed, he heaved a sigh of relief and deliberately said, “Do you know why he doesn’t interact much with people outside and has always been a mysterious and low-key noble?”

Isabella shook her head and then nodded. “I heard that the Wilson family is very strict on him and does not allow him to do anything out of line. Therefore, he has always kept low-key.”

Cedric laughed out loud.

“That is indeed a part of the reason, but there is an even more important reason.”

“More important reason?”

Cedric thought for a while. “It is difficult for him to get along with others.”

“What?”

“He can’t get along with others besides Stella and the three of us who grew up with him. When he was a child, he had suffered from autism for a period. Fortunately, he can become so carefree now. Yes, he has a bad temper. Just let it be.”

Isabella was stunned. “Self-seclusion? Even someone as arrogant as Joseph would suffer from autism.”

“Yes, his mother was murdered miserably. He saw his mother’s body with his own eyes, and then...”

Cedric seemed to be lost in his memories, but he immediately withdrew his thoughts and said with a smile, “In short, don’t be afraid of him. He has a bad temper and doesn’t seem to be forgiving, but he is very loyal. With me here, he won’t do anything to you.”

Isabella was stunned.

In the month she spent with Joseph, she had never seen Joseph’s parents. She had never heard him mention his parents.

In the large manor, there were no family photos.

There were very expensive paintings on the walls.

But there was no portrait or photo of anyone.

There wasn’t even a photo frame on the table. Isabella knew nothing about Joseph’s family other than Charlie and Angelina.

Isabella had never asked before because she felt that these things had nothing to do with her. Later, she met Angelina and knew that Joseph had a sister. However, they had a very bad relationship, so Isabella didn’t ask further.

Joseph had such a bad temper that he would be so mean to his older sister. As a result, Isabella thought that Joseph did not have a good relationship with his parents.

But Isabella didn’t expect...

Seeing Isabella’s serious expression, Cedric comforted her, “Alright, it’s fine now.”

He then changed the topic. “In short, Joseph’s grandpa didn’t want others to find out that the heir of the Wilson Consortium had such a problem. Moreover, Joseph didn’t like to interact with outsiders. As a result, he became so mysterious. If someone wants to know him, as friends, we will meet that guy first before letting Joseph see that guy.”
