394 His Fiancée

Isabella shook her head and said, “Cedric, since you know what the meaning of this ball is, you should know that this is not just a simple dance. I have a boyfriend, so I won’t dance with other men. Since I have invited Joseph, then I either don’t dance tonight or only dance with him.”

Cedric looked down and sneered, “Alright. I have to go now. Sorry for disturbing you tonight.”

With that, he turned around.

Isabella looked at the folder in Cedric’s hand and immediately pulled him back anxiously. She said, “Cedric, other than dancing, I can...”

Cedric paused, turned around, and extended a finger, saying, “One year. Isabella, give me one year. This year, I will give you a house. You can live and work freely, but you are not allowed to live in Wilson Manor. Joseph and I have the right to pursue you fairly. If you still choose Joseph one year later, I will withdraw.”

Isabella thought of her and Joseph’s beautiful room, thought of Charlie’s kind smile, and looked at the document in Cedric’s hand. She said, “You just want to dance with me, right?”

...

In the VIP seats of Richmond Arts University, Richard bent his waist and said something to Joseph. Joseph seemed to be polite and modest, but in fact, he didn’t listen to Richard’s chatter.

Doris stood behind Richard and stared at Joseph.

.....

The music in the middle of the stage sounded, and the graduation ball at Richmond Arts University had officially begun.

Joseph stood up in a good mood. He said politely, “Mr. Richard, the ball has begun. I will seriously consider what you just said. I’m taking off now.”

“Wait!”

Richard immediately smiled and said, “Mr. Joseph, you may not be very familiar with the process of the ball here. Why don’t you let Doris go with you? She is not only my daughter but also a dancer. I believe that she can help you enjoy the ball. You can dance and relax at the ball. I believe that you will definitely have a good time tonight.”

Doris immediately took a step forward and said, “Mr. Joseph...”

Joseph gave a smile, but he rejected Doris cruelly, not giving Doris any chance. He said, “No need. My girlfriend is also from this school, and she is also from the dance department. I believe that there will be no problems when I am with her.”

Richard was instantly dumbfounded, and Doris bit her lips.

Joseph smiled at Doris and left.

Richard looked at Joseph’s back and immediately asked Doris, “What’s going on, Doris? Didn’t you say that Joseph didn’t have a girlfriend and asked me to help?”

“He just has a girlfriend, not married!”

Doris stamped her foot in anger and said, “Zachary has many lovers, so what?”

Richard frowned, and then he was deep in thought. He said, “That’s true. Who is Joseph’s girlfriend? I heard she was a student from our school. Why haven’t I heard anything about her?”

“She...”

Doris pouted and looked into the distance. Suddenly, she was stunned. Then, she said with a smile, “I feel thrilled about what will happen. Isabella is really bold. She dares to be two-timing Joseph.”

Joseph passed through the crowd and walked towards Isabella. Some women tried to strike up a conversation with him and invited him to dance. However, Joseph rejected them very coldly. When he walked over, many people started to dance.

He saw that Isabella didn’t remain where she was. After thinking for a while, he guessed that Isabella must have run to the buffet area, so he smiled and walked to the buffet area. Just as he took a step, he was stunned.

Isabella stood not far away, taking Cedric’s hand.

Cedric whispered something in Isabella’s ear, then leaned over and made a gesture of invitation. Isabella immediately lifted her dress and made an elegant gesture, placing her hand in Cedric’s hand.

A gentle smile flashed across Cedric’s face. He lowered his head, held Isabella’s hand, and kissed it.

Then, he pulled Isabella into his arms and danced to the music.

Isabella turned round and her gaze met Joseph’s for a split second.

Joseph clearly saw the panic in Isabella’s eyes.

Joseph’s mind went blank.

Isabella, wearing the beautiful dress he personally sent, danced with another man only ten minutes after he left...

Isabella clearly saw Joseph, but she only looked at Joseph like that. She did not break free from Cedric but continued to dance with Cedric.

Isabella was worthy of being from the dance department.

Her movements were graceful. Her dress was gorgeous and dazzling. All of this attracted everyone’s gaze.

Soon, many people cheered below the stage. Isabella and Cedric’s dance were wonderful. Although they stood in the crowd, they were extremely dazzling and could not be ignored.

Many people walked past Joseph, who stood alone in the middle of the stage like a clown.

Jane and Jayden, who were next to Joseph, said in surprise, “Mr. Joseph, didn’t Isabella invite you to dance? What’s wrong? Did you be late? Do you want me to help you call her?”

Jayden interrupted, “Jane! You don’t concentrate when you were dancing. You’re screwed!”

Platt rolled his eyes at Joseph and gloated, “You really are boasting. You are not the fiancé of Isabella!”

Zachary took Doris’s hand and said, “Isabella and Cedric are dancing. Hurry up and find a girl. If you don’t have a partner, I can let Doris dance with you.”

Doris immediately echoed, “Mr. Joseph, since Isabella and Mr. Cedric are dancing, why don’t we...”

Joseph ignored them and left.

Isabella looked at Joseph and bit her lips.

Cedric reminded, “Since you have agreed to dance with me, please concentrate. If you keep looking around, you must perform another dance with me.”

Isabella lowered her head and said, “Cedric...”

“I know what you want to say, but I am just fighting for my opportunities and rights. I am never at the mercy of others. I am just working hard for my happiness.”

Cedric said calmly, “You love Joseph so much, but how deep does Joseph love you? He saw you dancing with me, would he believe you? Isabella, there are many differences between marriage and courtship. A good marriage needs absolute trust, responsibility, and the same values. Do you know about Joseph well? He left just like that when he saw us dancing. He doesn’t believe you at all.”
