Chapter 359

359 You Are Despicable, and I Am Shameless

But today, when Joseph hugged her from behind and apologized to her sincerely, she realized that her heart had long been taken away by this overbearing man.

She hit him and scolded him. She wished she could grab his hair and hit him hard in the head to vent the anger and grievances in her heart, but she would never do this to Cedric.

In the end...

In the end, she could release all her emotions only when she was with Joseph. She wasn’t afraid of ruining her makeup. She wasn’t afraid of him mocking her or being disdainful.

It was because he had seen her most miserable, helpless, and vulnerable side.

Isabella thought about it and made up her mind. He was ready to call back.

But her phone rang first.

It was Lukas.

“It took me a lot of effort to get your new number from your mom. I heard that you left early on the wedding day. Are you okay?” Lukas asked.

.....

“I’m fine.”

Isabella wiped her tears and said calmly, “Lukas, why are you looking for me?”

Lukas smiled. “Nothing. I just want to tell you that our movie is done. There is a party tonight. Director Lee asked me to bring you over.”

“A party?”

Isabella understood. “My job has finished, so I didn’t know that our move was done.”

“Yes.”

Lukas laughed heartily, “If you are free, come and join us. Although your role is not important, everyone remembers you. Director Lee and Miles all think that you are adorable. They want you to join us.”

Isabella finally felt happy in her heart and nodded. “No problem. Tell me the time. I will go!”

Lukas quickly told Isabella the address and time. Isabella hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and decided to call Cedric.

Since Isabella had made her decision, she could no longer keep it from Cedric. She had to tell Cedric that even if Joseph chose Stella in the future, Isabella couldn’t be with Cedric.

Isabella felt that she didn’t love Cedric. It was unfair to him.

Cedric quickly picked up the phone and said, “Isabella, why are you at the riverside? Are you alone now? Why didn’t you pick up my calls?”

Isabella was a little embarrassed. “I am alone. As for the riverside...”

Cedric knew that he had crossed the line and immediately apologized, “I don’t mean to watch you. I just want to confirm your safety. When you come back today, I will remove the GPS from your phone.”

Isabella smiled. “It’s fine, Cedric, I...”

Cedric asked in concern, “You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Since you are alone, I will pick you up now. What do you want to eat? I’ll book it in advance. If you don’t like to eat outside, we can cook at home. I’ll get someone to buy the food you like.”

When Isabella heard Cedric’s words, she was lost for words for a while. Then she said, “Cedric, thank you for taking care of me for such a long time.”

Cedric was stunned. “Isabella, what’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing, I just want to tell you...”

Cedric suddenly fell silent. It was terrifyingly quiet on the other side of the line.

Isabella bit her lip. “I’m going to participate in the party of my set later. I may go back late tonight.”

After being silent for three seconds, Cedric said, “No problem, but be careful. Call me if you need anything. I will be there as soon as possible.”

Isabella nodded.

...

Joseph, who had headed to the underground parking lot, suddenly thought of something and immediately returned to the ward. Isabella had disappeared.

“Isabella!”

Joseph had a bad feeling. Seeing that she was not in the ward, he hurriedly asked the nurse, “Where are you? We agreed to come to the hospital to comfort Stella together! Isabella! We agreed to be together forever!”

Joseph didn’t find Isabella. He suddenly realized what a stupid mistake he had made. This was the second time he had lost her.

Joseph was about to go crazy.

“Mr. Jeremy, help me check someone’s phone number.”

Joseph anxiously called, “Cedric from the Stretton Group. Right! I want all the phone numbers registered in his name. What? Is it coded? You need time to crack it! Alright, hurry up! I hope to get your reply within an hour.”

Joseph hurriedly ran out of the hospital and looked for Isabella with the bodyguards. He checked the surveillance videos and found that she had left. However, he did not find anything in the direction she left.

Joseph wished that Gerry had been watching her just now. Although Gerry was slow, he wouldn’t have let Isabella leave.

Joseph suddenly felt that he deserved it. He lost Isabella again.

How could he be so careless? He was so urgent to find the proof and he didn’t care about Isabella’s feelings at all.

He pissed Isabella, and Isabella ran away again.

God! Isabella felt wronged and was probably crying somewhere.

Charlie had always said that Joseph didn’t care about others’ feelings. It was probably true.

Joseph patted his forehead resignedly. Then he pinched his thigh and called Cedric.

Cedric picked up the phone after a long time.

They were both silent for a moment. Joseph said first, “Cedric, is Isabella with you now?”

Cedric said coldly, “Didn’t you ask her to say goodbye to Charlie, who is about to die? Why do you suddenly ask me?”

“Then give me Isabella’s phone number.”

Cedric immediately mocked, “Joseph! I’m warning you, don’t go too far! You used this despicable method to trick Isabella!”

“Yes, I admit that I lied about my grandfather’s illness. It was a trap set up by my sister and me. Therefore, no one else knew about this matter. How did Stella know about it?”

Joseph said angrily, “Cedric! You told Stella! It was you who deliberately made things difficult for Isabella! You are shameless!”

Cedric smiled and didn’t deny it at all. “That’s right. I told Stella, but so what? You can use a despicable method to trick Isabella. Why can’t I use shameless means to stop you from tricking Isabella? Joseph, you are not the only one in this world who can act shamelessly. I have said it before. I won’t give in to Isabella’s matter. If you were not shameless, I wouldn’t have used such a dirty method.”
