168 The Charm of Lukas

Just as she finished thinking, Joseph suddenly let go of her and forcefully squeezed her shoulder to push her away. Then he gasped, “Forget it... Let it go. A rational man can’t bully a sick person.”

Isabella was stunned when Joseph had already pulled her head over his chest, “I shall stop here. Remember my flavor and sleep!”

Isabella had never experienced such a warm night.

Together with the fragrance of the flowers, even the lightning and thunder outside the window became so gorgeous and wonderful on a mysterious night.

Joseph had a hot chest, a strong heartbeat, stocky arms, and large but warm palms.

Everything gave her a sense of security.

She thought that the whole world had abandoned her and even she wanted to forsake herself.

However, he rushed out and roared at her because he looked for her for a whole night.

It turned out that he was worried... so there was someone worried about her...

.....

It was Joseph who bullied her the most.

She cried because she was instantly happy and moved. But Joseph thought she was too angry and apologized for the first time.

It was an awful apology, but truly intimidating.

But so what?

When the nightmare came, she didn’t know whether she was sleeping or ill, feeling pain and sadness.

She could only sense the boundless despair, naked betrayal, and blatant bullying in the darkest abyss.

The most terrifying thing was that even Lukas had become one of them to push her into the abyss of despair, and then watch her helplessly doom eternally...

When the thunder roared, she instantly collapsed and darted around like a headless fly, only wanting to find a place to vent the despair and fear in her heart.

She wasn’t afraid of lightning and thunder but the helplessness of insecurity.

He walked over and saved her, bringing her into a warm embrace. He said lightly, “They don’t want you, but I want, okay?”

He wanted...

He wanted her...

There was someone who wanted her...

Could it be the anonymous dream turned real?

It was him who extended a warm hand to her in the darkness...

No matter what, Joseph, thank you so much.

Because not only did you save my life today, you also saved my future...

Isabella reached out and wrapped around Joseph’s waist. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next day, the weather was clear.

“You won’t go on a hunger strike for dancing.”

When Isabella came downstairs in the morning, Charlie began to “criticize” her. “Although career is important, health is the most important thing. It is uncomfortable to be sick, right? I heard that hypoglycemia is very serious, and if no one is around, you may go into shock! Why don’t you run with Joseph later? Running every day is an easy way to keep healthy. Oh right, I asked the chef to make some nourishing soup for you. Hurry up and drink it while it’s hot.”

Isabella listened to Charlie’s endless nagging, but she felt warm and agreed repeatedly.

She had been locked in her own house for more than ten hours in the cellar. She suffered from cold and hunger and not even took a sip of water, which caused her to faint because of hypoglycemia. She had got into this unholy mess. Back here, someone had given her delicious food, warm room, and earnest concern...

This might be the love from family... It felt good to have a family.

“To prevent Miss Isabella from suffering hypoglycemia again because of hunger strike, Master Wilson specially ordered customized handmade chocolate candy from Italy for you.”

William smiled, “There are only three of them delivered in the air every day. They are about half the size of a palm. You can eat one in the morning, night, and day. It will not make you fat but effectively avoid hypoglycemia. Miss Isabella, please do not forget to eat them.”

“Every day?” Isabella said in surprise.

“Yes, because the sweet master doesn’t want to leave his hometown.”

“It was so bothered just for three chocolates. Ordinary chocolate will be okay...”

“How can that be? His chocolate is the best! If you want, then take these!” Charlie retorted.

Joseph stood at the door and looked at Isabella, who was smiling and talking to William and Charlie. He gave Gerry a look.

Gerry immediately walked over to him.

“Yes, it should be related to Lukas.”

Gerry reported in a small voice, “Although I don’t know what Miss Isabella experienced after she returned home, the Smith family gathered twice when Miss Isabella returned home. Carl was even called home by Rosy when he was in the company meeting. Lukas went abroad to participate in an event and was ordered to come back temporarily.”

Joseph raised an eyebrow, “Well, send all the information about Lukas and the Shaw Group to my office later. Then find a way to start with the servants of the Smith family and see what happened to Isabella yesterday... Oh right, don’t care about the price.”

“Yes...”

“What’s the matter?”

“When I investigated before, I tried to dig some information from the servants,” Gerry hesitated for a moment before saying, “But they have followed the family for many years, so it’s not easy to get something from them.”

“Not easy?” Joseph smiled coldly, “Gerry, how did you become so stupid?”

Gerry was stunned and immediately said respectfully, “Please enlighten me, Mr. Joseph.”

“Something that money can’t solve may have a better solution, right?”

“Money, power, influence, love, kinship, friendship. However, they are all ordinary people. How can they have no weaknesses?” Joseph asked.

Gerry was stunned and immediately said, “Yes! I understand! I will do it as soon as possible!”

“Wait, there’s more.”

“Please instruct me, Mr. Joseph.”

“Not just yesterday...”

Joseph thoughtfully touched his lips, “I want to know clearly about the entanglement between Isabella, Rosy, and Lukas. Then I will try to define her status and living conditions in the Smith family over the years.”

“Understood.”

After Gerry left, Joseph looked at Isabella who was laughing happily. He snorted coldly, “Last night, she called Lukas so many times. I want to see what kind of charm did the young man has!”

...

In the Mulan Art University.

When Isabella went to school and passed through the school grove, she could not help but pause for a moment.

If Joseph didn’t show up yesterday, would there be a lot of people and police here to watch her horrible body on the tree?

She couldn’t help but laugh helplessly.

Isabella gave a self-deprecating laugh.

No! If Joseph didn’t show up, she should have crushed under the truck.

Joseph was so brave when such a huge truck rushed over.

It didn’t matter if you were the heir of the Wilson Consortium or a worthless bug when a truck rushed over.

Anyway, one would equally be crushed by the truck!

Just as she was thinking about this, a white business car drove far into the school building. Isabella looked over and her eyes flickered.
