Chapter 400

400 Visits The Smith family

Although Joseph was by her side making her feel much more secure, when the car was about to reach the Smith family home, Isabella was still a little nervous.

One had to know that this was a conditioned reflex developed over the past 17 years, and no matter what, her legs still trembled a little.

Joseph seemed to notice Isabella’s nervousness. He reached out and gently held her hand. He said in a deep voice, “Isabella, in fact, it is very easy for me to destroy a Smith Design company and ruin Carl’s reputation. If I want to do it, in less than three days, the Smith Design will disappear from Peace City. Soon, Carl will be homeless and become a beggar.”

Isabella looked at Joseph, whose eyes were deep and serene.

“I clearly knew that he hit you and didn’t treat you well, but in the end, I chose to submit to humiliation and buy a gift for him, personally visiting him... Do you know why?”

Isabella thought for a moment. “Because you don’t want to do such a cruel thing before we get married? For luck?”

Joseph laughed.

Joseph looked at Isabella and couldn’t help but smile. He patted her head, “He has done so many cruel things to you, and what I’ll do to him is not cruel... The reason why I chose to visit him is that whether it is a betrothal or a wedding, I hope that he can attend.”

Isabella looked at Joseph, puzzled.

.....

“The wedding of the Wilson family, especially the wedding of me, the heir... is definitely news that will shake the entire world.”

Joseph said seriously, “The stocks of hundreds of companies under the Wilson family Consortium, the intertwined interests, the greedy crowd, the huge social influence... All in all, they are all very complicated. So I hope that you will appear as a complete family and not give some people with ulterior motives a chance.”

Isabella suddenly thought of something and lowered her head dejectedly. “By the way, if Charlie knows that I’m only the stepdaughter of the Smith family...”

“The point is not the stepdaughter.”

Joseph said directly, “The point is that the impact of your biological father’s explosion case was very bad. It is publicly known that dozens of lives were killed because of his selfishness... And if my investigation results are correct, when your mother married Carl, Rosy’s biological mother was seriously ill and in danger.”

Isabella immediately said, “But at that time...”

“I know that it was a trap set by Carl. Your mother was forced to do it...” Joseph gently held Isabella’s hand. “But my grandpa is very sensitive to this kind of thing. You have been with him for so long, you should be able to see that he has high standards for one’s character. This is also why he likes you to be naive and lively.”

Joseph looked at Isabella and said seriously, “The situation in your family is too complicated. If I help you clean up Carl now, my grandpa will definitely be suspicious and might even stop you... Although I believe that after a period of explanation, my grandpa can also accept it, but he is still an old stubborn man after all. I don’t want to complicate matters before marriage.”

Isabella lowered her head. “Actually, I think it’s better to surrender myself to Charlie in advance...”

“No, you don’t know him. You should listen to me.”

Joseph pointed at Isabella’s nose. “Just remember not to be afraid of the Smith family anymore. After all, their stability is all because of our indulgence. In fact, from now on, their fate is already in our hands.”

Isabella looked at Joseph and held his hand tightly. “Then I will listen to you.”

Joseph smiled and hugged Isabella. “But from today onwards, I guarantee that Carl will never dare to touch a single hair on you and your mother.”

“OK!”

The car soon arrived at the Smith family.

Isabella went forward and rang the bell of the gate. It was obviously impossible for there to be no one at home, but after the bell rang, no one opened the door for her.

Isabella glanced at Joseph awkwardly and found the key to open the door.

Joseph turned and ordered, “Gerry, bring the gift and follow me. Everyone else, stay put and wait for orders.”

“Yes, sir!”

Isabella walked in front and helped Joseph lead the way. Joseph clearly saw that the moment Isabella entered the door, she unconsciously became cautious and he instantly felt a little distressed.

He had come with her. How could she overcome the fear in her heart on her own and face the storm from this family alone?

Joseph’s eyes became dark and unclear. She looked up at the entire Smith house with a deep gaze.

The Smith family owed Isabella. Sooner or later, he would ask them to return it!

Isabella used the key to open the door. “Dad, Mom, I’m back...”

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw a shoe flying over. Isabella dodged and it slammed the wall beside her.

A roar sounded in the room. “Isabella! You little bastard, you actually dared to come back. Who gave you the courage to break up with the Stretton family’s young master! His falling for you is your biggest fortune! See if I don’t beat you to death today!”

“Carl! Don’t! Please don’t!”

Rosa cried. Carl had already run to the door with a feather duster. When he saw Isabella in front of her, she could not help but be stunned. The curses in her mouth also stopped.

Isabella was dressed in a serious and noble manner today. Her eyes were calm and elegant, completely different from her usual timid appearance. However, this was not the most important thing. What was important was that there was another person following behind her.

A tall and handsome man looked familiar.

Carl looked at Joseph in a daze. He suddenly recognized her and was stunned. “Mr.... Mr. Joseph, what brings you here?”

Then, he immediately roared at Isabella, “Why didn’t you tell me in advance when you saw Mr. Joseph come? Hurry up and go back to your room!”

Then, he immediately said to Joseph in a flattering manner, “Mr. Joseph! Come in and have a seat. I don’t know why you’ve suddenly come to visit us, but the Smith family is really honored...”

Joseph kicked the slippers that had fallen to her feet and looked up at Carl with a heavy gaze.

Carl suddenly realized something. Seeing Joseph and Isabella standing together, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

Isabella said that she broke up with Cedric because she was with another man... with another man... another man...

Heavens, this man couldn’t be Joseph, right?

Carl was still dumbfounded. Isabella stabilized her emotions and said, “Dad, Mom, this is Mr. Joseph, my boyfriend. He comes to visit you today.”

When she said this, Rosy and Lukas came downstairs. Rosy pointed at Joseph in disbelief, “Joseph... Joseph is your boyfriend. How is this possible? Isabella, how could you be dating Joseph?”
