Chapter 78 78: Daddy Will Pay For It

Ruby didn't say anything and consented to Henry.

But Lilith was jubilant. "Wow, that's great. When will you have babies, my brother-in-law?" Though she looked innocent, it seemed that she asked maliciously.

After keeping silent for a long time, Ruby was annoyed by her words. She was about to glare at Lilith so as to warn her not to put her finger in the pie, but unexpectedly, she made eye contact with Joseph and suddenly felt panic. She thought he would refuse Henry, but he consented to his suggestion.

She took back her eyes in a second and did not respond to Lilith with her lips twitching slightly.

"Isabel." Henry was still trying to persuade her to stay here.

Before she could respond to Henry, Shirley hurried to say, "Henry, don't push too hard on Isabel. It's just her first time dining with us; we have to give her some time to get familiar with us. You are in a hurry."

Henry's lips twitched, and when he was about to talk, Kelly, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly followed Shirley's words, "Well, it might be inappropriate to say that since Isabel is also a member of our family. Even if many unpleasant things happened before, now the misunderstanding could have been cleared. How could you say those words to Henry?" She gracefully put down the cutlery with a profound expression on her face.

"My younger sister, you might misunderstand me. Isabel did not grow up in this family, and perhaps it is hard for her to accept us in such a short time. I am doing it for her own good because I am afraid that there might be something that would remind her of painful memories," Shirley satirized.

However, Kelly sneered and said, "It seems you are considerate."

"Of course..."

"It's unnecessary to quarrel with each other over me since I am just an irrelevant person," Irish said with a cold voice. After taking a glimpse at Henry, she turned to Shirley with a faint smile, "It seems that I have to appreciate your kindness to me. It is too late, and I'm ready to stay here tonight."

Shirley blanched after hearing this, while Irish smiled brightly.

Henry was chuffed and hurriedly urged the housekeeper to prepare a room for her, while Irish added at this moment, "Oh, please give me a room near my brother-in-law."

All of them were shocked by her words.

Of course, Joseph was not included. He just looked at her for a long time as if he was trying to see through her.

However, Irish avoided his gaze and turned to others, "I have had no sense of security since I was a child, and it is Joseph, my brother-in-law, who is the person I am familiar with, so I have to find a sense of security from him in such an unknown environment." After saying this, she drew back her eyes and looked at Joseph, "What do you think?"

Ruby also stared at Joseph.

Joseph did not keep silent this time, and soon he said softly, "Yes, Isabel is timid."

She did not expect that he would say that and laughed brightly.

"Alas!" Henry sighed heavily and looked at Irish with an indulgent expression, and said, "I am sorry that you have suffered a lot Isabel. Will you move back to live with us later?"

But Irish said indifferently, "I don't want to live in an unacquainted family."

Henry felt awkward, but after all, he was Irish's father, and of course, he was reluctant that her daughter would bear hardships. "It is not safe to live alone for a single girl. Joseph, I remember that you have another villa. Would you like to let Isabel live there?"

Joseph turned to Irish and said, "What do you think?"

"No, I'm living in a comfortable house now." It is obvious that she would not live in his house; otherwise, he would find faults with her every day. But she was actually puzzled why he still lived in the resting room of his office.

She felt that God was not unfair since she was born into an average family, and she had to try her best to get a better life, but she still could not catch up with those who were born with a silver spoon. She vowed that she would make more money from him in the future.

Joseph didn't enforce her but showed a faint smile.

"Isabel, I just want to take care of you. Or let Roy accompany you to buy a house when you are free."

Soon Roy said loudly, "Well, Daddy will pay for it."

Henry was just about to show his approval when Shirley interrupted him, "It's unnecessary to buy a house for a girl since she has to get married. In my opinion, It's better to find a boyfriend for her who could take care of her."

Irish sneered and knew clearly that Shirley was afraid that she would gain an extra advantage from Henry. Though she was a money-grubber, she would never take anything from the Lake family.

"Yes, you are right. Do you have a boyfriend?" Feeling guilty for her, Henry wanted to try his best to make it up to Irish and planned to prepare a large dowry for her.

Irish said languidly, "Yes, I have."

Joseph took a glance at her without changing his expression.

"Wow, that's good. Bring him back here and dine with us." Henry was pleased.

"You all know him. It's Leo," Marry shook her cup and said coldly. All of them stood gazing at each other and were at a loss what to say.

Lilith finally broke the deadlock and said cautiously, "Isabel, isn't he the president of Key Group? He is the opponent of our Runestone Group....."

"I know. But it has nothing to do with me," Her eyes turned severe, and Henry looked embarrassed and said to Irish, "Isabel, it's reasonable that Daddy shouldn't object to you. But you should be cautious towards marriage."

"Brother, I think that's okay," William tried to do the peacemaking and said, "Things change fast. After all, there are no permanent enemies in the world, and I think it's good if Isabel could get married to Leo. Maybe we can beat our swords into plowshares. Why not go ahead with it?"
