“I’ve checked it. After the bombing at Slike’s Restaurant, Isabella’s biological father suffered a huge debt of 1.8 million by various forces. Later, you shouldered it all by yourself. Now, 17 years have passed. According to the change of the goods’ value, after multiplying 20 times, the amount is 36 million. The remaining 14 million will be the cost of raising Isabella these years.”

Joseph handed the check to Carl. “If you count it this way, you shouldn’t lose out, right?”

Everyone present was stunned. Isabella held the edge of her skirt tightly. It was because she was the only one who understood the deep meaning behind Joseph taking out this check. Her eyes instantly reddened.

Carl looked at the tempting check in front of him and glanced at Isabella thoughtfully. Then, he hesitated and said, “It turns out that Mr. Joseph knows about our family situation. However, since I am Isabella’s stepfather, it is reasonable for me to raise her. I can’t just ask for the money.”

Joseph continued to smile gently. “Isabella often told me that if it weren’t for you, she and her mother would have been forced to death back then. It’s hard to repay the kindness you have shown her for so many years. Since she’s following me now, her business is naturally my business. So, I hope Carl will accept it.”

Carl, who was shrewd and greedy, did not take this huge check immediately. He hesitated.

He really wanted this 50 million. Even Smith Design’s annual turnover was only about 10 million, and he had only a few million after sharing the money.

However, Joseph directly gave him 50 million.

.....

50 million was enough for him to live for half his life.

But...

Repaying money on behalf of Isabella as well as kindness?

Did Isabella really think so? This stepdaughter who was often beaten and seemed to be obedient would really think of repaying him for raising her?

Why was this matter a little strange? Could there be a trap?

At this time, John, who was greedy for money, could no longer hold back. He hurriedly urged Carl on his sleeve. “Dad! Hurry up and take it! Joseph is giving you money! 50 million!”

Carl was still hesitating. Joseph smiled and said to Isabella, “Isabella, I told you that Carl raised you in a very selfless manner. You giving him money is an insult to him. What do you think? He doesn’t want it.”

He then reached out his hand and said to Carl, “Since that’s the case, then this check...”

“Since it’s Isabella’s goodwill, then I will respectfully accept it.” Carl saw that Joseph was about to take back the check and could no longer resist this extreme temptation. He hurriedly reached out to take the check.

That anxious posture was almost the same as snatching.

The moment the check was drawn from Joseph’s fingertips, Joseph’s eyes lit up with joy...

...

Although he originally didn’t want to accept Isabella’s so-called “boyfriend” at all, the man was Joseph, so things were naturally different.

Carl hurriedly ordered the servants to prepare food and a sumptuous dinner. When Isabella saw that Rosa was busy in the kitchen, she also went to help. Joseph sat on the sofa, reading a magazine.

Carl had already gone upstairs and changed into a suit. He sat next to Joseph in an “elegant and graceful” manner, carefully talking to him and handing him water. He didn’t look like a senior at all and was like a humble servant.

Rosy looked at the situation in the living room from afar. After thinking for a while, she took the fruit platter from the maid and walked over to Joseph. She leaned over and handed the fruit to Joseph. “Mr. Joseph, please have a taste of the freshly-cut fruit...”

When Joseph heard this, he looked up and found that Rosy’s collar was open wide. When her bosom was directed at him, it was faintly discernible.

Joseph raised an eyebrow. “Rosy...”

“Oh my god!”

Rosy suddenly lost her balance. Her body swayed and she was about to fall down. Joseph immediately reached out to support her and said softly, “Rosy, be careful.”

Rosy squatted on Joseph’s leg and looked at Joseph’s handsome and gentle side profile. Suddenly, she felt her heart palpitate. “I’m sorry for bumping into you, Mr. Joseph.”

“At home, you can call me Joseph.”

Joseph smiled warmly. “Rosy, we will be a family in the future.”

Rosy suddenly blushed. “Yes, you are right ... Joseph.”

“Joseph!”

Isabella poked her head out of the kitchen and did not notice what was happening here. She said casually, “The chili eggs made by my mother will not be delicious without the chili peppers. Why don’t you try putting fewer? It’s good to eat some spicy food.”

Joseph immediately smiled. “Darling, I will listen to you. I will try to eat a little.”

Isabella smiled happily and retracted her head.

Lukas looked at Joseph’s gentle and happy expression when he faced Isabella and then at Rosy, who was standing beside Joseph with a flushed face. He frowned and stood up, “I’ll go out and give my broker a call.”

Rosy let out a soft snort and sat down next to Joseph very naturally. She picked up the fruit fork and forked a piece of red pitaya, handing it to Joseph’s mouth, “Joseph, try this. It is very sweet.”

Joseph didn’t take the fork. He just smiled and tilted his head. He looked at Rosy with a meaningful look. It wasn’t until Rosy felt embarrassed that he lowered his head.

Seeing that he was about to bite the fruit fork, she suddenly remembered something and turned to the kitchen. “By the way, Isabella, we agreed to visit your boudoir to see your childhood photos. Don’t be in a hurry to cook. Take me to see it first.”

“Okay! I’ll be right there!”

Isabella responded. Rosy unnaturally withdrew her hand. Joseph stood up and smiled ambiguously at Rosy. “I’ll eat later, Rosy.”

Rosy nodded vigorously.

Isabella led Joseph upstairs. When she saw the evil smile on Joseph’s face, she asked curiously, “Why are you suddenly smiling so vulgarly?”

Joseph wrapped his large palm around Isabella’s waist. He looked at Rosy in the living room and whispered into Isabella’s ear, “Your sister is trying to seduce me.”

Isabella was stunned.

“I am not joking.”

Joseph rolled Isabella’s long hair to his fingers and gently stroked it. “I finally know why your sister could hold Lukas.”

Isabella asked directly, “Why?”

“Because...” Joseph teased with a smile, “Because based on the ability to please men, you are far behind your sister.”

Isabella was speechless.

Joseph looked at Isabella’s completely stunned expression and couldn’t help but laugh, “Why didn’t speak? Aren’t you going to hit me at this time?”

Isabella thought about it. Not only did she not hit Joseph, but she even looked at Joseph seriously, “How did Rosy please you? Can you teach me? I can learn it.”
