Chapter 454 - 454 It Is Shameful
“Sure. Her drawer was often filled with love letters!” John was so excited that he didn’t know what to say or not to say. He just felt that it was very successful to make the people of the Wilsons interested in him. So he said, “Once, some hooligans stopped her after school. If it wasn’t for Lukas... Do you know Lukas? He is a famous actor! At that time, Lukas was the campus idol, and Isabella also liked him...”
Andrew was stunned. “Isabella and Lukas?”
“John!”
Isabella flushed as she grabbed onto John. John was at a loss. “What’s wrong? Why are you pulling me?”
Andy looked at Isabella with sparkling eyes and laughed. “John is so cute. Isabella, are you afraid that Joseph will be jealous?”
Isabella’s face turned red. “No...”
Angelina knew that Isabella felt embarrassed, so she smiled as she mediated, “It doesn’t matter. It means that Isabella is outstanding. It would be strange if no one pursued her. Moreover, it also proves that Joseph is charming enough to make Isabella fall in love with him!”
Isabella felt a little embarrassed. It was not because she had been pursued before, but because the man she had married her sister. Such a thing would always make people think about it and arouse groundless gossip. Moreover, she had really liked Lukas before.
.....
If word got out, there would definitely be people who would talk nonsense and affect her reputation.
Charlie looked at Isabella and asked with concern, “Now that you mention it, I remember that Lukas... I remember that he had an affair before. How is he now? Is he getting along well with your sister, Isabella?”
Isabella immediately nodded and said, “Yes. It was said that it was just a misunderstanding. Although Rosy was a little angry, she forgave him.” After a pause, Isabella said, “When Joseph visited my parents last time, he also mentioned this matter. I hope that Lukas and Rosy can get along well. I hope that Lukas won’t let Rosy down again.”
Charlie nodded in satisfaction. “It’s great to know his mistakes and change them. He is a celebrity, so the public will always pay attention to him. It is good that it’s just a misunderstanding. Otherwise, your sister will be sad.”
Isabella sighed at Charlie’s understanding. She heaved a sigh of relief. “You are right.”
Then, she looked at John and urged, “Do you have a break today? Go back and do your homework. Grandpa already knows what Dad and Mom are thinking. Go back and pass on the message.”
John said, “You want to drive me away? How can I go back just like this?”
Everyone was stunned. Charlie immediately smiled and gestured to William, “William.”
William immediately understood and soon brought over a red envelope. Charlie smiled and handed it to John as he said, “This is the first time we’ve met, so I didn’t prepare anything. This is a gift for you.”
John immediately opened the red packet in a flurry with his eyes wide open. He cried, “One million yuan... One million yuan! Do you give this to me?”
John performed dramatically.
Everyone laughed, but Isabella felt like her face was about to burn up. She recalled the praise she received from Charlie when she rejected accepting the money Charlie gave her. She knew that John shouldn’t accept the money. She hurriedly grabbed the check from John and put it on the table. “Grandpa, my brother is young and ignorant. He is so happy to see so much money. He doesn’t need so much money. Don’t give it to him.”
Charlie smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. He is your younger brother, and it’s the first time he came to visit me on behalf of your family. As an elder, I should prepare a present for him. Let him take it. He can buy some stationery and books. As a student, he might not have much pocket money. Judging from your usual appearance, I know that your parents don’t overindulge you.”
John protested and reached out to take the check back. “That’s right. Grandpa gave it to me, and now it’s mine. What right do you have to take it away?”
Isabella pulled John helplessly and whispered, “Listen to me, John. If you want the money, I will give it to you later. Don’t take grandpa’s money.”
John pouted in disdain. “Are you kidding me? You are not willing to give me a cent.”
Andrew held his coffee cup and looked at John and Isabella in surprise. Andy laughed loudly and added fuel to the fire. He said, “They are having an internal conflict!”
Isabella clenched her fists tightly and felt upset. The Wilsons did not care about one million yuan, but it was improper to receive such money on John’s first visit!
Not to mention how shrewd Charlie was, just took Andrew and Andy as an example. Although they had different characters, they were shocked by John’s behavior.
To well-bred people, John’s behavior was annoying and unacceptable! Isabella was ashamed of what John did! Although Andrew and Andy maintained their demeanor and did not directly expose it, their eyes had already shown their contempt for John!
Considering that Charlie still did not know about the situation of the Smith family and did not know of John’s bad conduct, Isabella did not want John to expose too much, so she compromised, “Well. Since that’s the case, John, you should thank Grandpa and then go back to do your homework. Don’t let Grandpa down.”
Isabella planned to send John away and find some excuses to explain John’s behavior. She didn’t expect that John would directly break free from her and protest, “No! I’m not in a hurry to leave! I don’t want to do homework. Joseph said that he would let me work in the Global Group last time. I don’t want to go to school now. I want to go to work! I want to enter the Global Group or the Wilson Consortium!”
Isabella widened her eyes in shock. Charlie was stunned. Angelina covered her mouth. Everyone was stunned.
John, who was less than 20 years old, was simply spouting nonsense!
Andrew was the calmest. He put down his coffee cup and said lightly, “Whether it’s the Global Group or the Wilson Consortium, none of them are places to raise idle people. Even if you’re Isabella’s younger brother, you need to pass numerous examinations before you have the possibility of entering. Joseph probably means that he will give you special guidance instead of directly letting you go to work...”
John proudly pinched his waist as he said, “Why do I still need to take the tests?”
