360 Banquet
“Cedric!”
Joseph stroked his sweaty forehead and thought for a moment, “Forget it. I am despicable. I admit it. But I want to know if Isabe is with you.”
“No,” Cedric said curtly.
“Then give me her phone number. She was not in a good state when she left just now. I am afraid that something might happen to her.”
“Really?”
Cedric sneered, “Afraid that something might happen to her? You lost her just after you tricked her from me. Joseph, you and Ste are involved now, so don’t get near Isabe! Are you trying to date her on the side? Let me tell you, don’t think that you mean something to Isabe just because you two have been together for a month! You are nothing to her!”
Joseph hung up the phone angrily.
Seeing that Joseph hung up on him, Cedric threw his phone onto the sofa. “Bastard!”
Joseph was certain about one thing –
.....
Isabe had contacted Cedric. Otherwise, Cedric would not have had the time to mock him.
And Isabe wasn’t in Cedric’s ce now.
So the most important thing now was to find Isabe’s phone number, track her location, and tell her what was on his mind...
Cedric was the only heir of the fourth generation of the Stretton family. He was protected very well by the Stretton family.
Searching for his personal information was far more difficult than Joseph had imagined.
Tried as he might, Joseph couldn’t get hold of Isabe. He didn’t dare to think about what it meant for Isabe to leave for the second time. He was quite restless.
At 10 o’clock that night.
The cast and crew of “Meet You, Love You” booked arge private room in Vans Nightclub to celebrate thepletion of the final scene. After much eating and drinking, they were singing and ying cards in a lively atmosphere.
Isabe sat in a corner drinking.
Although it was said that everyone liked her, she knew that being a small character, she wasn’t supposed to be here. The special treatments she got were because of her rtionship with Lukas.
So she sat alone in the corner, not trying to get close to anyone because she just wanted to make her depressed feelings and the strong sense of frustration that Joseph gave her go away.
Lukas walked over with a ss of wine. “What’s wrong, Isabe? You look a little absent-minded today.”
“It’s okay.”
“It’s life, so people are bound to feel bad.” Isabe smiled politely.
Lukas thought for a moment. “If there’s something on your mind, you can share it with me.”
Isabe looked at Lukas and pursed her lips. She raised her ss and smiled. “It’s nothing big. Lukas, you just got married. And you choose to get back to work right after your wedding. You work so hard.”
Lukas nodded and gestured to Isabe. “Rosy is pregnant, so I won’t go far. I’m usually in nearby cities and will go home every day. It is not a big deal toe here for a while.”
“Okay,”
Isabe nodded, “You have to take good care of Rosy and the baby. After the baby is born, you’d better go home more often to spend time with them.”
“I’ve always felt that when the father is around, the child is indomitable, and if not, he would not dare to fight back, because there was no one to back him up.”
Lukas was silent for a while and then spoke up, “Carl has been sought after by gangsters recently. And he often gets beaten up. Do you know that?”
Isabe pondered for a while. “I’ve heard it from my mother. He seemed to have rubbed someone the wrong way.”
Lukas did notment. “Forget it, and let’s not talk about him anymore. Don’t worry. I am your family now. In the future, as long as I am here, I will never allow Carl toy one finger on you or your mother again.”
Isabe looked gratefully at Lukas. “I was depressed that I was not doing well recently and had to postpone my n to get my mother here. Lukas, thank you. I feel better now.”
Lukas nodded. “Don’t worry.”
Not far away, Miles was drinking with her colleagues. She watched Lukas and Isabe sitting in the corner chatting happily and winked at Director Lee.
Isabe’s phone rang. It was Cedric.
“Isabe, it’s already past 10 o’clock. Isabe, your banquet is almost over, right? Tell me the address, I will pick you upter.”
“No need for that. I don’t know when it will end...”
Isabe picked up her train of thought during the day and added, “Maybe we’ll be here all night. Anyway, Cedric, don’t wait for me. I can take care of myself.”
“You’re not back. How can I go to sleep...”
“Why don’t you tell me where you are so that I can be at ease?” Cedric paused.
Isabe thought for a second. “I think it’s called Vans Nightclub. How about this? You’re going to bed now. And I’ll call you when I’m going back. Is that okay?”
Cedric didn’t want Isabe to stay outside sote, but he was afraid that Isabe would feel ufortable, so he said, “Then I will wait for you. When you’reing back, give me a call.”
“Alright.”
Cedric hung up the phone and sighed.
Since when did he find out about Isabe and Joseph’s rtionship?
Maybe it was in the bar when Joseph said that his girl was smart and cute, or that day when they were fighting in the fighting arena. Joseph got tough when he heard about matters concerning Isabe. Cedric had that intuition.
He had always denied that intuition because he felt that it was impossible.
However, it was possible.
The woman he wanted was Joseph’s girl.
Then on the ship of the Tears of Blue Mirror, at Lukas’s wedding, all the details dered to him the truth, then Isabe told him everything.
Besides anger, he felt terrified.
He remembered the way Isabe looked at Joseph. He remembered how anxious she was when Joseph fell into the water.
He was feeling jealous.
Although Isabe and Cedric had met each other when they were kids, they hadn’t spent much time together. Isabe and Joseph had just been together for a month.
Therefore, Cedric felt that he was at a disadvantage in this rtionship.
Thenst night when Cedric went to see her. Her eyes shed as if she wanted to say something.
He got scared.
He suggested that Isabe not jump to a conclusion and take things slow. He did not want her to say it...
