406 Departed Arrogantly
Gerry was stunned. Then he said, “But it’s a valid check!”
“Just like Isabella said, Carl once helped them. Everything is still being investigated about the Slike’s Restaurant. If he does not accept the check, I will not feel at ease ...”
A tint of gloomy light flashed across Joseph’s eyes. Then he said, “Now that he accepted, it means that they’re even. I have already repaid the debt for Isabella. In the future, it’s time to deal with the vexed happenings in the past.”
Gerry looked at Joseph in surprise. “You mean you want to ...”
Joseph smiled, “I am a businessman, how could I always lose money? That 50 million is just kept by Carl temporarily. Before I get married, I don’t want him to cause any trouble for me. I’ll control the Smith Design in the future. Not to mention 50 million, everything of Carl will be mine.”
Gerry looked at Joseph in a daze.
Over the past few days, Joseph and Isabella fell in love. Joseph was very gentle and tender to her. He was totally lost in romantic love.
Seeing him being like that, Gerry even forgot that he was a remarkably mysterious business king.
If Joseph was unwilling, who could take a penny from him?
.....
Joseph paused for a moment. Then he looked up and said, “Alright, Gerry. You did a good job today. Remember, you don’t have to tell Isabella about this in the future. It would make her feel worried and uncomfortable. You could just tell me. Besides, don’t tell her about our conversation. Arrange someone to take good care of her. But don’t let her think that she can threaten me with her life. It’s not good for her recovery...”
Joseph looked in the direction where Isabella had left. His eyes were full of affection. “Isabella lived so hard in the past. In the future, I’ll provide her with the best. The purest love and care ...”
...
It was a sumptuous dinner while the atmosphere was strange.
Hearing that Joseph and Isabella were going to get engaged, Carl began to flatter Joseph as much as he can.
Joseph answered his questions out of politeness. Rosa who was nearby smiled happily. Rosy focused all her attention on Joseph, staring at him all the time.
Lukas, on the other hand, lowered his head to eat food. He glanced at Isabella occasionally, who was smiling happily.
After finishing the dinner, Joseph held Isabella and left the Smith’s. Then he said that he would bring Rosa to hang out. Rosa had been spending all her time at home, being a housewife who couldn’t go out freely.
Carl was confused at Joseph’s inviting Rosa out to have fun without him. But considering that he needed to go to work, he left it alone. Moreover, he had 50 million dollars. He could go anywhere.
In an instant, he didn’t bother about it at all.
Joseph drove the black and domineering Rolls-Royce away. Carl looked extremely excited and asked, “It’s the latest type of Rolls-Royce. It’s so gorgeous and awesome!”
John asked curiously, “How much is that?”
“I remember it’s over 20 million dollars. The price of the cushion equals to your expense for a year.”
John goggled his eyes and said, “If Joseph is going to marry Isabella, he will be my brother-in-law. For god’s sake! He is so rich. I have to tell my classmates! With his back, nobody would dare to provoke me in the future!”
Carl narrowed his eyes and said, “You are too young. What do you know? What’s the big deal of having him to support you? You have to know that Joseph is backed by the world-famous Wilson Consortium. As long as he agrees, he will give you some shares or a small company to manage. In the future, you will live a rich and happy life!”
“Really?” “Will Joseph really give me company or shares?” John asked excitedly.
“Of course, you and Isabella are related by blood. You are her brother.”
Carl said proudly, “It’s me who taught Isabella to behave like a lady. Then how could she attract a man like Joseph?”
Then, he said to John, “Find a chance to visit the Wilson Manor. If possible, it would be best to please Charlie. You should know that he truly controls the Wilson Consortium. As long as he says yes, you could own a huge amount of fortune!”
John forgot all the fear he had for Joseph immediately and couldn’t help dancing happily.
Looking at the place where the Rolls-Royce had disappeared, Rosy’s eyes flickered.
Lukas did not notice Rosy’s change. He went forward to hug her. “Let’s go back, Rosy. You’re pregnant now. Be careful of catching a cold.”
Rosy brushed away his hand suddenly and snorted. She sneered, “You care about the child? Why didn’t you think about it when you slept with Miles?”
As she spoke, she turned around and slapped the door.
Lukas was stunned. Carl also snorted, “Lukas, we’re going to have a close relationship with the Wilson Consortium. You’d better end your relationship with Miles as soon as possible. Don’t embarrass us anymore. I heard that Charlie values family upbringing very much. If you affects Isabella marrying into the Wilsons, I will reconsider your marriage with Rosy!”
Lukas was stunned. “Does our father ask Isabella if she is really happy to marry Joseph? There’s lots of worries to deal with in rich and powerful families. Marrying into the purple like the Wilson Group, shouldn’t she have pressure?”
Carl ignored Lucas and said furiously, “As long as she get married to a rich man like Joseph, wouldn’t it be better than living here? What are you talking about?! Isabella should be glad that she was gorgeous enough to hook up with him! What pressure? As long as you have money, you can solve any problem.”
Saying this, she turned around and walked towards the door.
John followed up happily immediately and discussed happily with Carl about how to find a chance to play at the Wilson Manor.
Lukas clenched his fists and looked down. He looked so gloomy.
Noticing this, Rosa walked over and said gently, “Lukas, it’s windy outside. Come on in. You know about Carl. Don’t mind it too much.”
Lukas then raised his head and looked at Rosa, who was as gentle as Isabella. He smiled and said, “Thank you, mom. I was the one to be blamed.”
“I heard that you are busy with your parents ‘company. You sleep very late every day. Don’t work so tiredly.” Rosa said softly, “You need to deal with your relationship with Miles properly. But remember to comfort Rosy. Pregnant women are more sensitive. If you’re obedient to her, maybe she will forgive you. I believe that it won’t happen anymore.”
“Thank you, mom.”
Lukas smiled and lowered his head. He tried to suppress the tears...
