Chapter 409
And it made sense why Joseph was so clever and independent. He had no one to depend on and had to do everything himself.
Joseph noticed Isabella kept her eyes fixed on him. He came to his senses and smiled gently. “Don’t think about it. They will leave soon. We don’t have to hang out with them. Just remember to stay far away from them, especially Michael. He is not a good thing.”
Isabella nodded. “I see. I will be careful. Joseph, you must be excellent, so grandpa would like to let you take charge of the Wilson Consortium.”
Joseph smiled. “I guess it is because I am the first heir. And grandpa still wants to test me. For that, I am careful and never provoke grandpa.”
Isabella laughed out loud. “And that’s why you insist on finding me. Right? Thanks to that, we have the chance to get to know each other and get married.”
Joseph held Isabella. “That’s right. And that’s why I am willing to follow grandpa’s words. He is always right. And with his help, I am rich and will get married soon!”
Joseph’s words made Isabella burst into laughter.

.....
Isabella and Joseph would meet the advertiser at the cafe.
Isabella didn’t want Joseph to scare the advertiser. Thus, she ordered Joseph to wear a set of casual clothes today. It made Joseph look like an easygoing teenager.
Isabella saw a fat middle-aged man when they arrived at the cafe. The man waved his hands to her and told her he was Caleb Cox, a director. He would take full responsibility for the advertising endorsement.
Caleb then noticed Joseph. He couldn’t help but feel confused. “This is...”
“Well, this is my...”
“I’m her boyfriend.”
Joseph interrupted Isabella’s words. He smiled and reached out. “Hello, Caleb. Why does the advertiser let you talk with us? You are not the employee of the advertiser. Right? Are you sure you can take full responsibility for the endorsement?”
Joseph came up with several questions. Isabella wanted to stop him to avoid provoking Caleb. But she didn’t expect Caleb to be so kind. Caleb didn’t mind it. He explained, “Kind of thing. I am not their employee. But the boss of the advertiser is my brother. He asked me to come here and invite Isabella to shoot the endorsement.”
Caleb said as he handed over his business card to Isabella. “Ms. Isabella, do you know me? I have lots of famous works.”
“Yes, I’ve watched your films before!”
Isabella was excited and reached out. “These films are wonderful. It’s a great honor to cooperate with you this time!”
“Thank you.”
Caleb reached out his hand to shake Isabella’s hand, but Joseph blocked him. Joseph walked forward and smiled at him. “I’ve also watched these films. Nice to meet you, Caleb.”
Isabella and Caleb paused for a while. Then Isabella realized Joseph was jealous of what she did. Isabella glared at him and pouted unhappily. Joseph then stared back at her. Isabella flinched. She didn’t say anything and sat down next to Joseph.
Caleb then started to praise Isabella. He said that Isabella was beautiful and was suitable for the endorsement.
Isabella was flattered while Joseph lowered her eyes and listened in silence.
Isabella was about to sign the contract without hesitation. Joseph then stopped her and looked up at Caleb.
It made Isabella feel regret coming here with Joseph.
Joseph looked nice with his dressing today. But that didn’t change who Joseph was. He was as arrogant as usual.
“We will have our engagement party on the 12th, so Isabella has no time to shoot it on the 10th. She can start working on the 14th.
“It is hot now. Thus, how about shooting it in the morning?”
“Besides, you’d better cut the kissing scene. I don’t think it’s necessary for an endorsement. And Isabella will go to the set herself. You don’t need to pick her up.”
Caleb didn’t say anything about what Joseph said.
It made Isabella feel uneasy. She was afraid that Caleb would leave angrily and refuse to cooperate with her.
Isabella thought what Joseph said was gone too far.
As she expected, Caleb hesitated. He then said to Isabella, “Well, Ms. Isabella, the cooperation...”
Isabella was so anxious that she was about to jump up. “Caleb, it is not my idea. Can you listen to my view about this matter?”
Joseph interrupted Isabella in a hurry. He smiled at her. “Darling, what else do you want to say? Many people want to cooperate with you. We have no time to waste here.”
Isabella went speechless.
Caleb was speechless, too.
Although Joseph’s requests were too over, Caleb accepted in the end. Caleb may be scared by Joseph.
After leaving the cafe, Isabella complained in a low voice, “Thank God, I am good enough. Otherwise, Caleb won’t cooperate with me after you say so. You almost ruin it. I don’t expect he will agree to your unreasonable demands. But he doesn’t feel angry about that. Caleb is indeed a good man.”
“Yes. Caleb seemed to be a nice man. But don’t you think it is weird?”
Joseph frowned and saw Caleb leave. Then Joseph turned back to look at the cafe.
“What’s wrong?” Isabella asked when she saw Joseph turn his head.
Joseph came to his senses. He shook his head and then said, “Nothing. Maybe I am too careful. I feel weird. But I can’t figure it out yet. Just forget it. It must be an unknown small company. Otherwise, Caleb won’t be so nice to agree with all my demands.”
Isabella disagreed. “It’s not an unknown small company. Haven’t you drunk it before?”
“Have you ever drunk it?”
“Yes, it only needs two yuan and five cents. Besides, it sells everywhere.”
