Chapter 256
Didn't Intend to Side With Either
Once they were done eating, Lucille wiped her mouth and got up. "I'm full. Please enjoy your meal."
Then, Lucille left the dining room and went upstairs. She walked swiftly and it seemed that she didn't Intend to side with either of them.
She decided to let them talk amongst themselves.
After Lucille left, Yoshua looked at Joseph with scrutiny and asked, "Mr. Joseph, I won't beat around the bush. I'm sure there are socialites lining up to marry you. I really want to know why you want to get close to my sister. What intentions do you have with Lucy?" Joseph raised his eyebrows and asked with a faint smile, "Do you think your sister isn't good enough for
me?"
""Of course that's not the case!"
Yoshua answered without thinking. "In my eyes, my sister is unique, flawless. She deserves all the best things in Hfe, whether it's men or other things."
That was the biggest difference between him and Charles.
Even though they were both her brothers, Charles thought that Lucille was full of problems and that she was always at fault. He thought that she was destined to bring shame to the family.
Yoshua was the complete opposite. In his eyes, Lucille was the best girl in the world, and no one could compare with her.
Joseph leaned back in his chair and replied slowly, "I feel the same, so that's my reason."
Yoshua obviously didn't believe him.
Joseph laughed and then raised his hand to gesture behind him.
Culver, who was standing behind him, understood what he meant. He immediately grabbed a document and respectfully placed it on the table, which had already been cleared. "What is this?" Yoshua questioned.
"Don't you want to know what happened to your sister while you were abroad? It's the reason why she's changed so much." Joseph pushed the document over and murmured, "You'll know once you read it."
Yoshua was stunned, and then he grabbed the documents in front of him and began to read through them. It listed all the things that Lucille had experienced in the past year, such as being bullied in school, and how people were slandering her.
For example, it described how Lucille was ostracized by her classmates, and how there would even be posters on the classroom door saying that Lucille was not allowed to enter.
Another example was how she had been wrongly accused of stealing something and was beaten half to death by Howard.
On top of that, at Lucille's birthday party, she was pushed into the water. People had held her head down to prevent her from getting up to the point where she was sent to the emergency room. Thankfully, she lived Yoshua finished reading each and every document, and his hands were trembling slightly toward the end. He knew that his sister might have suffered a lot of bullying over the past two months, but he never Didn't Kitend to Side With Lilber
thought to investigate the incidents carefully. The amount of suffering she had been through was far more than he had imagined.
Yoshua clenched his fists. He wanted to rush out and beat up everyone who had bullied Lucille.
Joseph lightly tapped his fingertips. He muttered, "Yoshua, you can't stay by her side forever. There will be times when you won't be able to protect her, but I can.
Yoshua was silent for a long time. Finally, he responded in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Joseph, I hope that you'll stay true to your word. If one day you disappoint her and make her sad and cry, I won't show you mercy!" "That day will never come."
In the depths of Joseph's eyes, subtle affection began to appear as he thought of Lucille.
At that point in the conversation, the two men reached an agreement.
Yoshua immediately got up. He was ready to get even with those people.
Joseph seemed to know what he was thinking. He remarked, "Your father, Howard, teamed up with the Gilbert family to work on a big project. There are more than a few loopholes in the project. If you are interested, you can check it out yourself." "Thank you."
Yoshua thanked him and then left without looking back
It seemed that after that night, the arrogant Howard was going to suffer a huge setback...
