Chapter 90
A bonus of 10,000.
“Gerry! Gerry!”
After the competition, Isabella took the envelope with the bonus in it and ran over to Gerry. She said happily, “I just won the championship of the dancing competition! Look, a lot of money!”
“Congratulations.” Gerry said expressionlessly.
“Is Joseph still making out with those hot ladies?”
Isabella happily walked into the hotel. “I’ll put the money back to the room first.”
“Mr. Joseph has gone back to rest.”
“Rest?” Isabella was confused. “It’s only 8:30. Is he OK?”
.....
Gerry thought for a moment and lowered his head, “He’s just upset with your unauthorized departure, so please be careful.”
“He is upset again?”
Isabella instantly became nervous. She was afraid to go back to her room. She said in a low voice, “We’ve already agreed to leave each other alone. Why is he angry? Is it because of me or grandpa?”
“I don’t know. Miss Isabella, please go back and ask Mr. Joseph yourself.”
...
Isabella nodded helplessly and quickly went upstairs.
Isabella opened the door gently and didn’t see Joseph in the room with all the lights on.
Hearing the sound from the bathroom, she knew that Joseph was taking a bath. So she was about to put the bonus into her bag quietly.
Just as she opened the bag, the door of the bathroom suddenly opened. Isabella was so frightened that she immediately turned around and smiled, “You came back so early!”
Joseph walked out with a large towel around his waist. He ignored Isabella and went to the wine cabinet to pour himself a glass of wine.
Then he drank it up and lay down on the bed.
Isabella stretched her neck in surprise. Seeing that Joseph had already closed his eyes, she felt relieved and continued to carefully open her bag. She stuffed the envelope with bonus into it.
“How much would you charge for one night?” Joseph suddenly said.
Isabella was shocked by his words. She couldn’t speak for a moment.
“Throw the money you just earned out of the window, or come to bed...”
Joseph shook his head and sat up. He said coldly, “Which one do you choose?”
Isabella felt that Joseph was not joking. She was so frightened that she held her bag in front of her chest as if she was holding a rare treasure. She was about to cry, “Joseph, 10,000 is nothing to you. Why do you have to embarrass me?”
“Then you need 10,000?”
“Yes, I need it!”
Isabella was really scared by Joseph these days. She shrank back as she said, “Besides, everyone knows that you can own any women you want. As long as you give those bikini girls a hint, they will climb onto your bed one by one. Why don’t you let me go? Are you really in love with me?”
Joseph frowned and suddenly threw the pillow beside him towards Isabella’s head. He roared, “If it weren’t for keeping the facts from my grandpa that I had messed around with women before, who would keep a wild woman like you around? Go to sleep on the couch! Get lost!”
Isabella was driven out of the room by Joseph. She could only carry her schoolbag and pillow to the couch resentfully. She had no idea that what was wrong with Joseph.
In the afternoon, she was allowed to ride on his neck and play games. And now she was directly driven out of the room.
In just two days, he could be gentle, elegant and graceful.
Meanwhile, he could also be so furious, like a fireball that burned people...
‘It’s probably because he didn’t get laid. He can’t mess around at night because of Charlie. The only female he sees every day is me and he can’t do anything to me. Probably he suppressed his desire for too long...”
Isabella shook her head and fell onto the couch with the money in her hand.
The next morning, they left Tears of Blue Mirror.
Joseph got up early and left by himself. He said that he had an early meeting. Isabella and Charlie shared a plane and ate a sumptuous breakfast before leaving.
Considering that there was no class until afternoon, Isabella decided to give her mother the painkillers and money in the morning.
With this money, her mother should be able to live a better life.
It was Monday today, Carl and Rosy should not be at home. Isabella went home with a small bag of desserts in her hand.
When the servants saw Isabella, they paused for a moment. Then they just went back to their work like they didn’t even see her.
Isabella was used to it and went upstairs alone.
“Mom.”
Isabella happily opened the door and said, “Here are you painkillers.... Mom!”
Isabella was stunned by the scene in front of her.
Rosa was lying on the bed with wounds all over the body. She had messy hair and bruises on one of her eyes.
“Mom! What happened?”
Isabella screamed in fright, “Did you get beaten up again?”
“It’s nothing... Isabella.”
Rosa waved her hand and sat up. She coughed and muttered, “It’s no big deal.”
As she spoke, traces of blood oozed out from the wound at the corner of her mouth.
Isabella’s tears rolled down her cheeks, “Why ... did he beat you up like this again?”
Rosa shook her head with difficulty, “It was my fault this time. I embarrassed him in public.”
“What kind of disgusting things did he make you do?”
Isabella said sadly, “Please tell me! Mom, if you don’t tell me, I’ll go ask him!”
“Don’t! Good girl, relax. I’ll tell you...”
Rosa pulled Isabella back and hesitated for a moment, “He wanted you to go on a blind date with a client in his 50s, but I refused in front of that client. So....”
Isabella instantly knew what happened. So she wiped away her tears and stepped forward to lift Rosa up, “Mom, anyway, I’ll take you to the hospital and have the doctors give you a check-up first.”
“No.”
Rosa refused repeatedly, “It’s no big deal. I will be better soon. Besides, going to the hospital costs a lot of money. How can we afford that?”
“We can.”
Isabella showed Rosa her schoolbag and forced out a bitter smile, “Look, this is the bonus I earned in a dancing competition. It’s 10,000.”
Rosa was stunned for a moment, then she couldn’t stop crying, “Isabella, my good girl...”
“Mom, I will definitely make money to get you out of here! I promise!”
They cried bitterly hugging each other.
“Oh? 10,000? Not bad!”
Just as Isabella was lying on her mother’s shoulder, she suddenly felt that the schoolbag on her lap had been taken away by someone.
She looked up and saw her younger brother, John, taking out the envelope from her bag. With a pleasant surprise on his face, he said, “Isabella, you’re really amazing. Where did you get so much money?”
