Chapter 436 - 436 Being at Loggerheads

436 Being at Loggerheads

Isabella calmed herself down and recalled William’s instructions. She decided not to think too much. She smiled and replied, “Melany is right. It is my luck if I marry Joseph, but I will adjust myself to life here as soon as possible. I still have a lot to learn and I hope you can instruct me in the future.”

“You are welcome.”

Melany said disdainfully, “How about I get someone to send you two sets of cosmetics later? In this way, you can understand what kind of things people in our circle like. You won’t be laughed at when you go out.”

Seemingly amiable, Melany acted as an elder guiding the younger generation. She didn’t say anything embarrassing, but the disdain underneath could not be concealed at all. Isabella smiled awkwardly, “Thank you...”

“No need.”

Just as Isabella was feeling awkward, Joseph, who was listening to the conversation, immediately refused, “Thank you for your kindness, but how could my wife need someone else to classify her?”

Joseph looked up at Melany and said lightly, “Do you think I can’t afford the cosmetics? Michael doesn’t have as many shares as I do. In a sense, if Isabella marries me, her social status will be much higher than you. I’ll give you cosmetics and let you feel our quality of life. How can she use your bargain? This doesn’t make sense.”

Isabella didn’t expect Joseph, who had always been indifferent to her during the entire banquet, to suddenly speak up for her. She looked at Joseph excitedly, but Joseph completely ignored her.

Melany was startled and immediately said unhappily, “Joseph, what you said is wrong. After all, Isabella’s family background is poor. She needs change.”

.....

“Isn’t it just a question of cosmetics? Is it necessary to talk about family background?”

Joseph tilted his head and retorted impatiently, “At your age, isn’t all the cosmetics the same? They can’t hide your deep crow’s feet.”

Melany immediately covered her eyes in surprise. Andy, who had been rubbernecking, covered his belly and laughed out loud. Andrew said lightly, “Mother, in fact, you can use medical beauty technology to remove the wrinkles easily. I have a friend from the beauty salon who is very skilled. I can introduce him to you. He knows how to help middle-aged and old women.”

“Middle-aged and old women? In large?” Melany muttered. She then said angrily, “How dare you say that to your mother?”

Andy wiped his tears and laughed crazily. He held Melany’s arm and acted like a spoiled child, “After all, I can’t say that you are a girl. My brother and I have reached marriageable age now. Moreover, Mommy, even if you are a middle-aged woman, you are also outstanding among middle-aged women. I guarantee that you are the youngest and most beautiful middle-aged woman!”

As soon as Andy finished the words, Angelina started laughing wildly as well. Joseph, on the other hand, only smiled faintly. Only Isabella’s stomach kept twitching. She didn’t dare to laugh. This was the first time she visited Joseph’s family. In order to maintain the etiquette of the younger generation, she could only hold back her laughter until she blushed.

“Why are you both helping the outsiders!”

Melany was extremely embarrassed. She snorted coldly. She probably felt disgraced, so she said in a low voice, “You ungrateful guys, you and your father both like to marry this kind of woman. You will pay for it.”

“Mom!”

Andrew reminded in a low voice. Unexpectedly, he was too late. Isabella was stunned. Joseph slapped the table and stood up, saying angrily, “What do you mean?”

Everyone present was stunned. When Gerry heard the voice, he immediately rushed in with his subordinates. Michael finally turned around and looked at his wife and Joseph who were at loggerheads. He said in surprise, “What happened at the table?”

Charlie looked at the bodyguards who had rushed in and frowned. “Joseph, what are you doing? This is a family dinner.”

Then, he said to Gerry, “Retreat.”

Gerry immediately lowered his head and said, “Yes, Master Wilson.”

“Nobody is allowed to leave!”

Unexpectedly, Joseph, who had always been very obedient to Charlie, showed unprecedented stubbornness and rebelliousness this time. He said to Melany emotionally, “Today, if you don’t make things clear, don’t even think about leaving the gate of Wilson Manor!”

When Michael saw his wife being bullied, he suddenly stood up. “Joseph, what are you doing? She’s your aunt!”

“Yes. But she should make it clear to me and apologize for what she just said!”

“What kind of woman is my mother, and what kind of woman is Isabella? What do you mean? My mother has passed away. As a son, I absolutely can’t let others gossip about her when she had passed away. If Melany doesn’t make it clear today, then don’t blame me for turning my back on you!” Joseph was not willing to let Melany go.

Joseph’s action shocked everyone. Melany seemed to have never thought that Joseph would treat her like this. She immediately straightened her back in dissatisfaction. “Why are you so angry at me? Do you think you can be rude to me just because you are the heir of the Wilsons Consortium? I am your elder! I just feel that it is not good for you to indulge Isabella!”

Angelina held her cup with her fingers shaking and did not speak. Andrew stood up and explained, “Joseph, my mother is in menopause now. Don’t take what she said to your heart. She doesn’t mean that.”

Andy also hurriedly came up and hugged Joseph to smooth things over. He said with a smile, “Joseph, don’t be angry. Why are you angry with a middle-aged woman? Right? You even let the bodyguards in. It’s so scary.”

Joseph pushed Andy away, showing that he absolutely could not compromise. He gritted his teeth and pointed at Melany. He said word by word, with his eyes red, “What do you mean when you say we won’t have a happy ending?”

Looking at Joseph like this, Isabella suddenly felt a little familiar. His reaction was the same as he was sick from a fever. At that time, he became crazy and terrifying.

“I...”

Melany was completely frightened by the furious Joseph. She began crying. “I really don’t have any other intentions. I’m just afraid that Isabella will not behave herself well when she gets along with others in the future. I am afraid that she will embarrass you and bring shame to our family!”

When Michael saw his wife crying, his originally gentle and refined look also disappeared. He instantly slapped the table and stood up, shouting angrily, “Joseph! Don’t go too far! Isabella is just like your mother, a mediocre woman! If it weren’t for your money-minded mother who tricked me, do you think you have the right to take what belongs to me and be the heir to the Wilsons Consortium?”

“Gerry! Throw Michael and Melany out of the manor!” Joseph, who had always been calm and principled, lost his temper directly.

“Yes!”

“Joseph, how dare you! I am your elder!”

In chaos, the sound of a teacup shattering rang out from the main seat. Charlie shouted angrily, “It’s enough!”
