370 He Is Behind All This
Isabe was stunned.
“Cedric is no fool. Although you have not said anything to him, when you lost consciousness because of those drugs, you only recognize me. That’s proof enough.”
Joseph put his hand on Isabe’s chest. “Because of Ste, you have lost faith in me. You don’t know how to choose, but your heart chose for you.”
Isabe stared at Joseph, “But Cedric...”
“But Cedric saved your life. And he was by your side when you were sad and helpless...”
Joseph helped Isabe put on his shirt. His eyes darkened. “We owe him one, so I will go with you to see him. I will give him whatever he wants, but not you. Got it?”
Isabe looked at Joseph with passion. “Are you going with me? You are so nice.”
“I’m nice in a lot of ways. You haven’t realized it yet.”
Joseph smiled and rubbed Isabe’s head, “He saved you, so I am very grateful to him. Otherwise, I might regret it for the rest of my life... But I promise that I will never give you the chance to owe anyone any favors in the future because I will never let you be alone again.”
.....
Isabe couldn’t help but throw herself into Joseph’s arms and said, “I’m falling in love with you, Joseph. You have to be like this forever.”
“Of course.”
Joseph pinched Isabe’s nose and smirked, “I will love you with all my heart and soul. You are mine now and I will never leave you. You will never feel helpless again.”
Isabe thought about it and said seriously, “What did I sayst night? Did I embarrass myself? Tell me, and I’ll see if there is anything I can change.”
Joseph looked back at Isabe and said, “Actually, you know yourself quite well. You were indeed a disgrace. Are you sure you want to know?”
Isabe quickly nodded. “Yeah. Don’t keep me in suspense.”
Joseph thought about it again. “Well, you said and I quote, ‘Joseph, I love you so much. I want to eat you up.''”
Isabe’s face got red. After she changed her clothes and ate her lunch, she still felt embarrassed.
How could she be so brazen?
How could a pure girl like her say something like that?
In the suite of the hotel, Joseph had finished the lunch in front of him. Isabe was eating a steak and a te of corn sd after lunch. It was like she went hungry for a century.
Joseph took out his phone and slipped through the news, then handed it to Isabe. “Look at yesterday’s news.”
Isabe took the phone and widened her eyes in surprise. “Lukas... Lukas and...”
“Well, the topic of ‘Lukas and Miles having an affair’ has been ranked first on the Inte for thest 10 hours today. In other words, someone released their video 10 hours ago.”
Joseph looked at his watch. “It’s 2:30 in the afternoon. The release time is early in the morning.”
Isabe shook her head. “Lukas also took the drug. Lukas and I were both being framed! Lukas is innocent! It was Miles and Director Lee’s fault. Why would Lukas take the me? Lukas has just gotten married. This news would be a devastating blow to his career and future!”
Joseph looked at Isabe who was anxious and a hint of sadness shed across his eyes. “Isabe, Cedric was behind all this.”
Isabe froze.
“You believe that Lukas took the drug and was also being framed. But it doesn’t mean that I believe him, nor will Cedric.”
Isabe came back to her senses and stood up. “No, I have to make it clear to Cedric now. Lukas is innocent!”
“It is good that Lukas and Miles have only lost their reputations. After all, Lukas is a celebrity. He should pay attention to his privacy and safety. He made a mistake, and that was the price...”
Joseph held Isabe’s hand. “But have you ever thought about how Director Lee is doing now? When I left thepany just now, I asked my secretary to collect some information. Director Lee is asking for a long-term sick leave from the managementpany today. Who knows how long Director Lee will leave...”
Isabe covered her mouth in shock. “Joseph, do you mean that...”
“No, it was just a guess. I just felt that he did not get himself involved in this trending gossip not because it was for the best... This might be the worst-case scenario for him.”
Joseph pressed Isabe back into her seat. “It’s normal for Cedric to be angry about this matter. You left him because of the conspiracy that these few people created. What he did was not too much for someone in his position. He knew Lukas was family and cut him some cks. If you chose Cedric yesterday and not me...”
Joseph paused, “Maybe I was more ruthless than Cedric.”
Isabe looked at Joseph’s serious and cold face and suddenly thought of Cedric. Although Cedric had aplicated background, he had always been such a gentle person...
Isabe didn’t expect this to happen...
Her choice had indeed hurt him.
Isabe hung her head. “I am the one they want. I am the one they are after. Director Lee and Miles are not targeting Lukas. On the contrary... I think they are after me.”
Joseph was puzzled. “For you? For a small role like you? That’s impossible. You are not worthy of the trouble.”
Isabe smiled bitterly. “I found out that Miles was pregnant with Director Lee’s child. I thought that they didn’t know I knew, but that night I realized... I dragged Lukas into this matter...”
Joseph frowned.
...
Joseph and Isabe had underestimated Cedric’s sensitivity to this matter. They had been contacting Cedric for the entire afternoon but weren’t able to reach him.
People at hispany didn’t know where he had gone either.
Seeing that it waste, Isabe grabbed the bag she had left at Vans Nightclubst night and found the key to Cedric’s ce in the Golden Apartment.
“Peter and Joey said that Cedric was not in the apartment,” Joseph said directly.
“Even if he isn’t there, I still want to leave him a note.”
“I feel bad if I can’t find him today,” Isabe said sincerely.
Joseph thought about it and nodded. He rubbed Isabe’s head. “Alright, it’s all up to you. In the future, I will apany you and support you no matter what you do. But be faithful to me, okay?”
Isabe pulled Joseph up and they headed to the Golden Apartment.
