Chapter 12
Isabella cried out in pain. Joseph rudely pressed her to the ground and tore her clothes.
“No! Stop!”
Isabella held his arms and screamed, “I will give you money. You can find another woman with the money. My father is the general manager of Smith Design. He’s very rich! If you touch me, my father won’t forgive you!”
She only wore a slip dress. Joseph ignored Isabella’s threat and continued to tear her dress.
“Wait! Wait!”
Isabella failed to scare him, so Isabella began to beg, “Mr. Joseph, Please let me go! I am sick. This will kill me!”
.....
Joseph bent down and looked into Isabella’s panicked eyes. He finally spoke in an evil tone excitedly, “Don’t worry. If you die, I’ll arrange your funeral!”
He unbuttoned his trousers.
“Wait! I have an infectious disease, and it can’t be cured.”
Isabella struggled desperately and spluttered. To stop him, she tried any excuse that came to her mind, “I just went to the bathroom and I didn’t wash my hands. Don’t you feel disgusting? I do! Please don’t do this to me. Don’t...”
The excuses didn’t arouse his sympathy for her or make him hesitate. Joseph grabbed her ankle and pulled her to his chest. She was so scared that she collapsed and cried out, “Help!”
Isabella thought she was done.
At this moment, she heard a violent knock on the door. Someone was shouting, “Mr. Joseph! Please come out!”
“What!” Joseph stopped and scolded with a frown.
“Joseph, Master Wilson has come! He’s at the gate downstairs! Hurry up! If you don’t come out, he’ll bring down this place!”
Joseph looked at Isabella. She was panicked and her face was covered with tears. He suddenly felt sorry for her.
After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind. He got up and quickly put on his clothes, “Zachary! Let my Grandpa wait a few minutes in the hall. I am going down right now!”
“OK!”
Just as Joseph let go of her, Isabella sat up and pulled her dress to cover her body. She retreated to the farthest corner from Joseph.
She held a hairdryer in her hands.
It seemed that she was ready to risk her life to fight him.
Joseph frowned when he saw her being extremely alarmed. She would rather die than be touched by him.
This woman came to the party, but she was so disgusted with him. What was she thinking? Did she really think he was gay?
He didn’t understand.
“Joseph! Master Wilson refused to wait in the hall. He is coming upstairs! Hide that woman. If he finds out, it will be over!”
“I know!”
Joseph quickly put on his coat. Isabella also heard it, and she hurriedly put on her dress.
The dress was short and light. After being torn by Joseph, it could barely cover her body.
Joseph knitted his brows. Could he give her to Zachary and his people like this?
A minute later.
A group of people came to the door...
“Oh! Master Wilson! What a great honor! Welcome to Empire Entertainment! Would you like something to drink?”
“Master Wilson, Joseph is a bit busy right now. Could you please wait a few minutes?”
“Good evening, Master Wilson!”
Zachary’s subordinates greeted Charlie respectfully in a loud voice. The old dignified man with gray hair stood at the door with a walking stick. He took no notice of Zachary’s flattery and people’s greetings. He said with a serious face, “Get the door open!”
“Yes!”
A few burly men stepped forward. Just as they were about to break into the room, the door opened. They saw a beautiful woman wearing a white cheongsam. Her long hair flew down to her waist.
She looked at people with her enchanting eyes. There was astonishment on her pretty little face. She asked, “What’s the matter?”
Everyone was stunned. Master Wilson said calmly, “Is Joseph Wilson in this room?”
“Joseph? He just had a drink and fell asleep...” The woman asked thoughtfully, “Sir, you are...”
“I’m his Grandpa, Charlie Wilson.”
Charlie looked up and down at the woman. He frowned, “Who are you?”
“I’m his girlfriend.” The woman was a little embarrassed and panicked. She hurriedly bowed, “Master Wilson! Nice to meet you!”
“His girlfriend?”
Charlie looked narrowly at the woman. He peeked into the room and saw Joseph sleeping on the sofa. Charlie’s expression became slightly gentler. He said to the woman, “Wake him up and tell him I’ll wait for him in the hall downstairs.”
Fifteen minutes later...
“Grandpa, when did you come back? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Joseph went downstairs. He undid several buttons of his shirt, revealing the delicate curve of his neck. His hair was a little messy. He had a smell of alcohol and looked a little drowsy.
It seemed that he had just woken up.
“Why I come back?”
Charlie hit the floor with the walking stick and said angrily, “I heard that you made a woman pregnant and beat her to miscarriage!”
“What?” Joseph was stunned, “What miscarriage?”
“Stop pretending! If you don’t like the woman, give her money and settle it! You did it. You must take responsibility! You have to keep the Wilson family’s reputation. How can you do such a disgraceful thing?”
Joseph was shocked and lowered his head. There was no trace of rudeness that Isabella had just seen. At this moment, he looked exactly like a polite gentleman. He said innocently, “Grandpa, do you believe the gossip? How could I do that?”
“There is still another thing!”
Charlie was furious, “I heard that Empire Entertainment Center is holding some crazy party tonight. You think I don’t know what it is? If you make trouble there, I will break your legs!”
“Grandpa, it’s not like what you think!”
Joseph hurriedly explained, “That woman is Zachary’s girlfriend. After she got pregnant, she had a fight with Zachary and fell over by accident. The reporter heard about it and went there. You know, Zachary couldn’t show up before the media because of his status. So, I help to deal with it. The reporters took a photo of me, but it has nothing to do with me at all!”
Charlie narrowed his eyes and said, “Joseph, you know the consequences of lying to me, don’t you?”
“Grandpa, I’ve told you everything. There’s nothing else I can say.”
Joseph pursed his lips and shook his head disappointedly, “Isabella will be upset if she heard what you said.”
As he spoke, he looked at Isabella, who was standing beside the sofa.
The woman in the white cheongsam, who had opened the door for Charlie, turned out to be Isabella. She had been standing behind Joseph.
She saw the warning in Joseph’s “sad” eyes. Isabella smiled and said, “Master Wilson, you have misunderstood. Joseph has been dating with me recently. He couldn’t have gone out with another woman.”
Charlie looked at Isabella and frowned, “You and Joseph...”
Joseph immediately pulled Isabella and had her sit beside him. He put his arm around her waist and gave his grandpa a happy smile, “Grandpa, let me introduce for you. This is my girlfriend, Isabella Smith. Her father is the general manager of Smith Design.”
