Chapter 448 - 448 You Are the Best

448 You Are the Best

“What? Who is that guy? Why do you say that he is a freak? Why does he have something to do with Stella?”

“The real mastermind behind the kidnapping of Stella...”

“The real mastermind? Do you mean that the kidnapping case was not simple?” Isabella asked in surprise.

“Shh, don’t ask...”

Joseph placed his finger on Isabella’s lips. His eyes were deep and gentle. “Isabella, I hope you can be simple forever. I don’t want those dirty and cruel things to stain your mind.”

Isabella looked at Joseph’s serious expression and crawled back into his embrace, nudging him sweetly. “I won’t ask about it anymore. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me. But, since that man is so bad, why does Stella want to keep his child?”

Joseph paused for a moment. “There are two reasons. Firstly, Stella once had a miscarriage and was injured. It may be her last chance to get pregnant. Secondly, if this child is successfully born, it will be a double-edged sword. Although it is possible to destroy Stella, it is more likely to work as a protective talisman for Stella to save her life. If it can save her life, I want to help her.”

Isabella was startled. “A protective talisman? But that day, the media photographed Stella going to the gynecology department for a checkup!”

“Yes, this is the key point. Although that man does not know that Stella is pregnant, he may be suspicious after seeing the report. However, my accompanying and ambiguous words will give the reporters a false impression that this child is mine,” Joseph said.

.....

He then added thoughtfully, “This is why I can’t deny my relationship with Stella in front of the reporters when they suddenly blocked me that day.”

Isabella raised her head. “But we are going to get married. Will they find out the truth?”

Joseph shook his head. “In fact, the chance of the child in Stella’s belly surviving is very low... The doctor said that the child won’t be able to live more than three months... I didn’t want to ruin Stella’s hope. Moreover, the reporters are just guessing that Stella was abused during the kidnapping. They are not sure if she is pregnant. In the future, as long as I slightly lied to the reporters, I believe we can still muddle through. Anyway, it is only a few months.”

Joseph touched Isabella’s ear. “But I might have to trouble you because one day in the future, the reporters might call me a playboy.”

Isabella immediately stroked Joseph’s ear and laughed. “I don’t mind. If this little sacrifice can help you return Stella’s favor and get rid of your entanglement with her, I think it is very worthwhile! But will it be dangerous for you to help Stella? After all, that man is a freak.”

Joseph looked at Isabella’s pretty face. His eyes flickered. He held Isabella’s head and gave a peck on her forehead. “Silly girl, how can I be in danger? I’m just helping to take the blame. In fact, don’t you think that I am more like a hero now?”

“Yes, you are a hero! You are omnipotent! You are the best!”

Joseph was amused by Isabella’s words.

In the Ayanna Hospital.

After hearing Stella’s words, Cedric frowned and said, “Whether you want to keep the child or not is your own business. I only want to know one thing. Are you trying to use the child in your belly to deceive me and then join forces with me to cause a misunderstanding between Joseph and Isabella? You want to snatch Joseph from Isabella.”

“Yes... I want to get Joseph. I want to restart with him. After the kidnapping case, I knew that Joseph was the only one in this world who truly loved me and was willing to give his life to save me. I admit that when I watched him and Isabella be together, my heart was filled with anger and jealousy! I felt it was unfair!”

Stella said excitedly, “I’m not worse than Isabella. I’m smarter than her. She knows nothing. She’s like a fool who always gets jealous and acts coquettishly. What right does she have to stand by Joseph’s side? What qualifications and ability does she have to become the future wife of the head of the Wilson Consortium! She will have a lot of enemies after she married Joseph and for a fool like her, she will die before she figures out who her enemies are!”

Cedric’s eyes flickered. “But if you do this, not only will you not get Joseph, but you will also make him hate you!”

“I admit that this matter was a bit of a gamble... But if it wasn’t for you, how could I have failed?” Stella complained.

Cedric was confused. “What do you mean?”

“What do I mean? I’ve taken everything into account, but I missed one thing.”

Stella’s eyes suddenly filled with madness, and she glared at Cedric fiercely. “I didn’t expect you to be a coward!”

Cedric’s eyes turned sharp and he grabbed Stella again. “Stella!”

Stella rolled her eyes. She let out a groan from her throat, even so, she still stared at Cedric with contempt. “If you are not a coward, why didn’t you win Isabella’s heart when she had a misunderstanding with Joseph? I am despicable. I used you, but I also created a chance for you to turn the tables, didn’t I? When Isabella was sad because of Joseph, why didn’t you take her away? If you took her away, you would be the one proposing to her now, right?”

Cedric looked at Stella with shock. “What are you talking about? If I take her away with that kind of method, she will hate me. Even if I propose to her, she will never agree to marry me! Stella, not only did you not make me turn the tables, you also made Isabella hate me even more! I don’t want to use this kind of nonexistent thing to deceive her!”

“But your way of doing things is simply indecisive! And it was your indecisiveness that caused us to lose everything!” Stella said in a stern tone.

She then asked, “Have you ever slept with Isabella? You are the awe-inspiring young master of the Stretton family. Have you ever slept with a woman you like? Have you enjoyed that kind of fun?”

Cedric said with disgust, “I pursue Isabella because of love, not to sleep with her!”

“But if you can’t even get her, how could you have a romance with her?”

Stella looked up at the sky and laughed loudly, “Do you remember how Joseph and I broke up back then? Kason only used a goading method to make Joseph completely give up on me. Don’t you remember? If you also recorded the video of you and Isabella getting alone with each other affectionately and showed it to Joseph, would they still be together again? Cedric, you are also a member of a mafia. Why are you so much weaker than Kason?”

Cedric looked at Stella in disbelief. “What are you saying? Record the video of me and Isabella and show it to Joseph?”

“It would be best to let the whole world see it...”

Stella smiled charmingly and viciously. “Given Charlie’s character, he will definitely not allow Isabella to become his granddaughter-in-law when he sees the video. And at that time, you can take the chance to get Isabella. I know this kind of thing well as I am a woman. Just like what I had experienced back then, when Joseph no longer trusted me, he started to become ruthless. The man who is willing to take me and accompany me is my everything! At that time, Kason was my everything. One day in the future, Cedric, you will be Isabella’s everything! She will do whatever you ask her to do like a sex slave and would never...”

A loud slap sounded.

Without waiting for Stella to finish her words, Cedric gave her a heavy slap, causing the corner of her mouth to bleed.
