Chapter 386 386: Why Did You Still Not Trust Me?

As expected, Irish fought back, but he did not expect that she would get him involved in it. Soon she added, "But have to remind you that it is not an easy job to be his wife. Perhaps he is staying with other women every time you miss him." Hearing this, Ruby turned dreary while Joseph felt helpless.

Henry slammed his cup off the table heavily in order to stop the fight between two of his daughters and said, "Well, it is time to eat."

Irish stood up first while Lilith soon followed her. Joseph was the last one to stand up, and when other people had all entered the dining hall, he pulled Ruby and whispered beside her, "Don't challenge my patience."

Ruby smiled and replied calmly, "Don't forget that you are also exploiting me."

Joseph loosened his hands, and it was hard to find the mood swings on his face. "You are not qualified to argue with her."

"Well, then, it depends on who you would like to help." Speaking of this, Ruby suddenly got closer to him and added, "Anything can happen before the divorce. I don't want that to happen, and so do you."

Joseph suddenly smiled, but his eyes were filled with sereneness, "Ruby, are you threatening me?"

"Of course not. It is just a warning. Though she still looked mild, she replied word by word, "I just learned it from you who would do anything to protect the lover."

When Irish walked to the dining hall door, she looked back suddenly at the scene accidentally. Ruby looked so soft while Joseph showed a smile to her. She was upset and then walked into the dining hall directly without looking back anymore. It was a rare reunion for the Lake family. Henry, who was satisfied with the feast; William, who looked cheerful, Kelly, who was elegant as well; and Shirley, who finally showed up with her swollen face, all sat together while Lilith, who was full of energy, and Roy who just kept silent and Ruby who pretended to be gentlewomanly accompanied there.

Shirley was very unpleasant when she saw Irish, and she would greet her before, but now she looked at Irish as if she was her foe, so Irish also ignored her. She was arranged on the left-hand side of Henry, and she could see Shirley's swollen face and also could see Joseph with her split vision in her seat upon looking up.

When everyone had taken their seat, Irish's phone suddenly rang. She took it out and found it was a message from Lilith. Though she didn't look up at her, it was easy for her to imagine her gloating expression. It was a short message, and she asked Irish if Shirley's swollen face was like bread.

Irish had suppressed her laughter for a long time, and after seeing her message, she couldn't hold back anymore and burst out laughing, but she soon stopped since others all stared at her. She soon replied to her message: Yes, her face is like an over fermented bread.

In the following second, she heard Lilith burst out a laugh while Shirley pointed at her and asked, "Why are you laughing? Are you laughing at me?"

Lilith hastily shook her head and said, "No, no, no. I just remembered some ridiculous things. "

"Then you met, laughed at me just now." She then pointed her finger at Irish.

But obviously, Irish did not intend to disguise herself and replied directly, "Yes, you are right. What's wrong? But without the driver yesterday, you might look worse today." And then she began to eat first, ignoring others' astonishment. And soon, she looked at her and continued, "You should thank me because it is me who asked the driver to stop those passengers shooting videos on you, or you would be a cyber celebrity today."

"You...." Shirley was irritated by her and said resentfully, though her eyes were swollen and hard to open. "You are as unreasonable as your aunt!"

"Stop!" Henry slammed the table and said severely, "Shirley, it's humiliation enough. You have caused bedlam in this family. What are you going to do next? Do you think I don't know what you've done in South Africa? And you even fight with others in public like a shrew. Do you still remember you are the mother of two kids? Why not save face for your children?"

It seemed that Henry's rage finally broke out so violently after suppressing it for a long time that everyone was shocked. And his words also attracted everyone's attention. They all stopped and then turned to Shirley, including Roy, who had kept silent for a long time.

Everyone was in shock except for Joseph, who took a sip of the wine and then tapped at the glass occasionally, who looked very leisurely. Irish sat on the opposite side of him, so he could see that clearly, but she could not figure out what he was pondering. She could only tell from his movement that he did not care about that since he was too calm and without any mood swings.

Irish was doubtful and wondered if he had told it to Henry or how Henry could know that. But she was confused since Joseph was a secretive man. And even though he got some evidence, he would definitely deal with it personally.

When she was still pondering, she heard a scream from Shirley, who yelled out, "Henry, I have been your wife for so many years, and I even raised two children with you. Why did you still not trust me? I have explained it to you several times and admit that I asked people to track Irish and Joseph since I am curious about why she would go there. I did it just to protect Ruby's marriage with Joseph and didn't do anything else to them."

"Didn't do anything else? Then give me an explanation of why someone shot Joseph?" Henry was more irritated and roared at her.

"I don't know. I really don't know that. I also heard it from our shareholders." Shirley tried her best to explain and continued, "I just paid for someone to track them but didn't hurt them since I knew they didn't deviate."

Henry was breathing fast out of rage while Roy, who had kept silent for a long time, finally said, "Mom, why do you do this to them?"
