170 Joseph’s Gift


    Whether the life was happy or sad, the days had to continue.


    For example, the engagement ceremony between Lukas and Rosy woulde soon.


    The day before the wedding, in the dining room at the Wilson manor, it was dinner time.


    “By the way, the Smith family sent us an invitation a few days ago. Tomorrow is the engagement banquet of the eldest daughter of the Smith family and the famous star Lukas. It will be held in the banquet hall on the first floor of Empire Entertainment Center.”


    During the harmonious dinner, Joseph suddenly said.


    “The Smith family? Oh, Isabe’s family? We must go!” Charlie pped his thigh.


    Isabe was unexpected.


    She almost spat out a mouthful of soup as she stared at Joseph.


    “Isabe, why didn’t you tell me about such an important matter in advance?”


    .....


    Charlie reacted quickly, “William, go buy a gift immediately and then push my schedule for tomorrow. Although we have not dealt with the Smith family, it is different now that we have Isabe. I have to go personally to congratte him to show my respect.”


    “Yes!”


    “No! Grandfather...”


    She did not tell the Wilsons about Rosy’s engagement, but she never expected that Joseph would receive an invitation, let alone that he would go to the engagement banquet with Charlie.


    God, if they dide, especially Charlie...


    Carl would take advantage of the rtionship between her and them to do many excessive things. She didn’t want the Wilsons, especially the cute and serious Charlie, to be used and hurt...


    “What’s wrong? Isabe? You don’t want me and Joseph to go?” Charlie asked in confusion when he saw Isabe panicking.


    “No, it’s just...”


    Isabe rubbed her clothes with her blushed face. She did not know how to deal with this sudden situation.


    Charlie liked her so much because he valued her elegance. If he knew that she was just a piece of the Smith family or a tool to seduce all kinds of men at will...


    It was unimaginable.


    Would the one month of favor be ended early?


    Joseph looked at Isabe’s embarrassed expression and smiled evilly. He looked at Charlie, “Why don’t I go to the banquet tomorrow alone? It’s not appropriate to attend such a low-level banquet with your status.”


    “Are you going there alone?”


    Charlie pondered for a moment. He put down his chopsticks and smiled, “I understand what you mean. Although there is a slight disparity between the Smith family and our family, I like Isabe. Therefore, I would like to take a look at Isabe’s parents who can nurture such a cute girl. They must be wonderful.”


    Isabe secretly pinched her palm and her face turned pale.


    Her “father” was indeed a wonderful person, with an elegant and modest mask in front of people, and a perverted and violent true face behind people...


    Joseph gently nced at Isabe and said lovingly, “I’m afraid it’s not appropriate. The Smith family still doesn’t know the rtionship between Isabe and me. If you go, you will give them a shock.”


    “What?”


    “Isabe, why didn’t your parents ask you while staying here for so long?” Charlie asked in surprise.


    “No, Grandfather, it’s just...”


    Isabe was speechless. Today’s problem hade too suddenly. She didn’t know how to respond. Moreover, Joseph looked at her with a “brilliant” gaze which was shrouded in an evil meaning.


    Joseph looked at Isabe who was so anxious and about to cry. He knew that he could not tease her anymore. He chuckled and exined, “She has been hiding from her family. She said that she lived in the school.”


    “Hiding it? Why are you hiding it?” the old man asked in a puzzle.


    Joseph looked meaningfully at Isabe, “Grandpa, I think Isabe probably thinks that my love for her is not enough. She has been testing me, so she is not willing to disclose it.”


    “Is that so? Isabe?” Charlie immediately asked.


    Isabe tightened her hand and prepared to be honest, “Grandfather, the Smith family may not be as you think...”


    “We don’t want our rtionship involved with family factors.”


    “Grandfather, give us some time. Your presence might put pressure on the Smith family,” Joseph interrupted.


    Charlie thought for a while and nodded in appreciation, “I understand. You guys are right. A free rtionship will go bad if too many irrelevant issues get involved. Come, Isabe, cheers. I support you! Give him a good test!”


    Isabe smiled when she saw Joseph raise the ss and smile gently at her.


    He looked cool and bright as if he was kind enough to help her out... But she knew that the more brilliant Joseph was, the more tricks he had!


    ...


    After dinner, Charlie went out for a walk. Isabe grabbed Joseph by the study door.


    “Our family and the Wilson Consortium have never had any personal contact. Why would we send you an invitation? Are you trying to scare me?”


    Joseph looked at Isabe’s hand that was grabbing his arm, so he raised his eyebrows arrogantly, “Thest time you wiped my pants, is it a form of contact?”


    “...”


    Isabe instantly turned blushed. Carl was the kind of person who could drill through any gaps and gain momentum.


    How embarrassing.


    What would Joseph think of Carl and her?


    “Then are you going tomorrow?”


    Isabe followed Joseph through the door and said anxiously.


    “Why not?”


    Joseph picked up the documents on the table and said, “Isn’t it good to see all the members of your family? Let’s see what kind of magic they have to make you, who aremonly making threatening gestures, a ghost in a day.”


    Isabe lowered her head and said after a long time, “Actually, what happened that day...”


    “I am not interested in what happened that day!”


    Joseph changed his expression and immediately asked her to leave, “You go out, I have to work!”


    “Wait a minute!”


    “Mr. Joseph, I see that you change your expression and tone. I know that you have always been a person with a sense of justice, so can you do me some respect tomorrow? Don’t embarrass me in public likest time. After all, it is the banquet held by the Smith family, okay?” Isabe said with a smile.


    Joseph thought about it and sized up Isabe. He said indifferently, “Actually, I could have wronged myself and attended as your boyfriend.”


    “... No!”


    Isabe shook her head like a rattle drum, “You already know my father. He is a person who will do anything to curry favor with you. If there is a chance to be with you, you will probably be entangled by him until you can’t do anything.”


    Joseph snorted coldly, “Isabe! Are you afraid that your father will strip you naked and send you to my bed?”


    “...” Isabe looked paled as she clenched her fists.


    “Go to hell. I won’t talk to you tomorrow, so don’t provoke me,” Joseph said directly.


    “Of course! You can have fun! Thank you, Mr. Joseph!”


    Isabe didn’t expect Joseph to be so nice today. With a surprised face, she nodded and bowed as she ran out the door.


    Joseph pressed the pager and Gerry entered.


    “Are the engagement gifts for the Smith family and Lukas ready?”


    “Everything is ready.”


    Joseph curled his lips into a smile with infinite viciousness and cruelty, “Prince charming in childhood? What a wonderful existence! Isabe, I’ll give you something exciting tomorrow.”
