Chapter 422 - 422 Evil
Joseph continued to smile. “I’m talking to you on the phone in the bathroom, so it’s fine.”
Isabella fell silent. “In that case, you should focus on your business. See you tonight.”
“Fine, see you tonight.” Joseph marked a kiss on his phone. “I love you, Isabella.”
“I... Okay.”
Isabella looked at Joseph, who was kissing on his phone in the distance, and her entire mind went blank. She admitted that her brain was really about to collapse because she was completely unwilling to face the fact that Joseph and Stella had a child...
Jane snatched the phone and said angrily, “Stupid girl! You hung up? You just let him be with that woman just like that? You are the person who is going to get married! Can’t you see that he is lying to you? And he might be hugging that woman now!”
Cedric also looked at Isabella with a heavy gaze.
“No, I believe in Joseph...”
.....
Isabella took a deep breath and shook her head. “Unless it is him who tells me this, I will not believe it. I will also not believe in her pregnancy.”
“But if he didn’t do something wrong, why would Joseph lie to you?”
“No! No matter what, it’s better for us to go and find him now!” Jane pulled Isabella up.
“So what if it is a lie?”
Isabella wiped her tears and said firmly, “He must have his purpose and reason... Maybe it’s just that it’s inconvenient to talk about it now, and he will tell me the truth after returning tonight. I don’t want to disturb him now. Maybe he is planning something.”
Looking at Isabella’s sad but strong appearance, Jane said with heartache, “Isabella...”
“I’m fine.”
Isabella waved her hand and then looked at Cedric with her scarlet eyes. “I just don’t want to ruin Joseph’s matter because of my own recklessness and ignorance. And I believe that my grievances are only temporary, and I won’t be used by anyone!”
When Cedric heard this, his eyes flickered. He didn’t say anything and just smiled faintly. Then, he raised his head and emptied the cup of red wine.
Isabella picked up her handbag and walked in front of Cedric. And she looked up at him with her red eyes that no longer shed tears. “Mr. Cedric, I’m here. And I’ve seen what you wanted me to see. So, can you do what you promised me?”
Looking at Isabella, Cedric did not want to speak at all.
“Cedric... You want to go back on your word?” Isabella suddenly exclaimed, “And you want to eat your word?”
Cedric lowered his eyes and suddenly reached out to hold Isabella by the waist, leaning her against himself.
Isabella immediately struggled. “What are you doing? I won’t let you hug me! You are not allowed to hug me!”
“Cedric, a gentleman should reason things out rather than resort to force!”
When Jane saw that the situation was not good, she immediately stepped forward. However, just as she took a step forward, she felt the sound of wind behind her, and she immediately became alert and chopped her hand backwards. However, Joey’s swift and fierce figure had already arrived quickly. In just two moves, Joey twisted Jane’s wrist and put her to the ground.
“Ouch! My arms are going to break!” Jane screamed.
Isabella never expected that an expert like Jane would be subdued by Joey, who was usually simple and honest, and even a little dumbfounded. And Isabella felt that she had never properly recognized Cedric and the people around him.
“Jane! Let Jane go!”
Isabella screamed, and she wanted to turn around to save Jane, but she found that Cedric was holding her tightly, and his strong arm was like a pair of pliers. So she was instantly angry. “Cedric! I tell you, if you dare to hurt Jane today, I will not let you off!”
Cedric maintained his posture of holding a glass of red wine in one hand and hugging Isabella’s waist with the other. And when he heard this, he said sadly, “Really? If I hurt this girl, you would not let you off.”
Then, he smiled cruelly and said, “Then I really can’t ask for more... Joey, throw that girl down from here...”
The slap sounded.
Isabella pulled out her hand and gave Cedric a slap. And Cedric’s face was directly slapped to the side.
The scene instantly became extremely quiet.
“Mr. Cedric!”
Joey looked at Cedric in disbelief, then roared at Isabella, “Damn girl! You dare to hit Mr. Cedric! Do you want to die?”
Isabella was a little scared after she was roared by Joey, but when she thought that they wanted to hurt Jane, she was not afraid of anything. And she glared at Cedric. “If you are a man, don’t implicate the innocent! Don’t make me look down on you! This matter has nothing to do with Jane! So let Jane go! Otherwise, I will slap you again!”
Cedric slowly turned around and silently looked at Isabella, who was flying into a rage with her small fists raising high, and his eyes were as dark as ink, so dark that it was impossible to see the bottom.
“Little girl!” As Joey suppressed Jane, he called out, “Peter! Hurry up! Isabella is going to beat Mr. Cedric! Kill her!”
When Isabella heard this, she was so frightened that she immediately struggled to push Cedric away. However, Cedric’s imprisonment was like an iron cage, preventing her from breaking free.
She finally knew what underworld people were, and finally knew why Octavio said the real Cedric was terrible, and his style was completely despicable, shameless and unscrupulous!
So she screamed, “Let go of me! If you dare hurt me, Joseph will not let you go!”
Peter quickly arrived. When he saw the handprint on Cedric’s face, he immediately stepped forward. But Cedric made a gesture of “retreat” at him.
Then, Cedric looked at Isabella with a heavy gaze and said seriously, “Isabella, I don’t want to make you unhappy, but you have to be clear that if I really want to force you to do something, not to mention your current situation, even if you are with Joseph, I can use a method that even he doesn’t know to bring you to my side without anyone knowing...”
He paused for a moment. “And the reason why I put in so much effort to do so much is because I want you to see him clearly. And I just want you to sincerely cut off with him, choose again, and only look at me.”
Isabella looked at Cedric’s dark eyes and felt that he was not joking at all. And she struggled with all her might and said, “I don’t believe you at all! This is a conspiracy! All of this is planned by you! You are too shameless!”
“I will never deny that this is a conspiracy!”
When Cedric saw that Isabella was completely hostile towards him, he directly smashed the wine cup in his hand and lifted Isabella up to press her against his body. And he roared angrily, “It was Stella who found me and cooperated with me! But have you ever thought about why Joseph would go to see her if Stella did not have Joseph’s child? Didn’t Joseph even care about her suicide, did he? So why did Joseph arrive so soon?”
