437 Being Biased.

It was quiet for a moment.

Charlie turned to look at Isabella, his old and turbid eyes showing a trace of exhaustion. “Isabella, I have planned to let you get familiar with family members, only to have you embarrassed. You now accompany Joseph back to your room. Grandpa will explain it to you in spare time.”

“Yes, grandfather.”

Isabella calmed herself down and immediately stood up. She pulled Joseph, “Joseph, let’s go back to our room.”

Joseph glared at Isabella fiercely, “Go back to the room. Why should I go back to the room? Can’t you see that I’m supporting you?”

Then, he leaned close to Isabella and whispered, “Isabella, how much can you endure? How much do you hide from me?”

“Joseph! Go back to your room immediately!” Charlie slammed his cane and roared.

Joseph pursed his lips and turned to go upstairs. Isabella paused and hurriedly followed.

At the table.

.....

Charlie looked at Michael. Michael was unconvinced and said, “Father, aren’t you being too biased? Although Joseph is your biological grandson, Andrew and Andy are also your biological grandson. I am your biological son! Joseph was so rude in front of the elders and younger brothers. How could you also pamper him?”

The sound of a slap in the face.

Before Michael could finish his words, Charlie slapped him to the side of the dining table, causing the wine cups and plates to fall to the ground.

Melany cried out in alarm. Andrew and Andy hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Charlie looked dignified and cold as he said, “You still know that you are an elder. Did I ever say that no one is allowed to mention his mother’s death in front of Joseph? Do you know that you hurt Joseph deeply?”

Michael covered his face with a malicious look. Melany cried and wiped Michael’s blood from the corner of his mouth, “Father! Even so, you can’t hit Michael. He is your biological son!”

“Shut up!”

Charlie shouted directly, “Melany! Today’s dispute started from you. Michael was beaten for you. As a husband, he should pay for not teaching you well! If you are rude again, don’t appear in front of me again!”

“Why are we always called the rude ones?”

Melany cried and said, “Father is too biased. When Harvey was alive, you sided with him, then with Sister-in-law. Now that they are all dead, and you are siding with their son, why are we inferior to them? Why are Andrew and Andy inferior to Joseph? Why do all the good things belong to them? Why did you chase our family out of Peace City? Just because sister-in-law argued with us before she died? But she didn’t die because of our fault. She could only blame herself for carelessness. Didn’t you also say that? It was because you had gone too far when you were young that you received retribution. You children died except Michael. Why not cherish your only son alive?”

Melany! You!”

Charlie’s body swayed, and William immediately stepped forward to support him. He called out, “Quickly, call Doctor Morris!”

“Yes!”

Michael was stunned, and he anxiously stepped forward. “Father, are you all right?”

“If there is nothing else, please go back.”

“Master Wilson has worked hard for several days in order to welcome you back. He must be tired.” William frowned and directly ordered representing Charlie.

Andrew stepped forward silently. He wrapped a handkerchief with a bit of ice and pressed it against Charlie’s forehead. He said lightly, “Grandpa is so anxious that you suffer from pain. Don’t think too much.”

He then glanced at Michael and said, “Father, let’s go. Don’t make Grandfather angry anymore.”

Michael still wanted to say something, but Andy came up and hugged him. Michael directly dragged him to the door and said with a smile, “Let’s go, Daddy. Let’s have dinner next time. I’ll take you to a fun place! Peace City has changed a lot!”

Michael looked at William and frowned. “Uncle William, take good care of my father. Call me if you need anything.”

William immediately bowed in respect. “Good bye, Mr. Michael.”

...

Seeing Michael’s families off, Isabella, who stood at the corner of the stairs and heard everything clearly, returned to her room.

Joseph sat on the single sofa and looked down as he rested one hand on his forehead angrily.

“Joseph.”

Isabella thought about it and said, “Michael and his family left. If you feel tired, rest early.”

Joseph didn’t say anything and didn’t move.

Isabella thought for a moment, then walked forward and squatted in front of Joseph to unbutton his suit. She said thoughtfully, “If you don’t want to move, I’ll help you.”

Not only did Joseph not appreciate her kindness, he suddenly reached out and pinched Isabella’s chin, looking down at her with a sharp gaze.

Isabella trembled slightly. She felt that Joseph’s anger hadn’t subsided yet, so she said softly, “Dear...”

“Darling, tell me.”

Joseph pinched Isabella’s lips with the other hand. He expressionlessly interrupted Isabella, “When I applied the lipstick for you just now, I noticed the small wound on your lips! Was it bitten by a dog?”

Isabella narrowed her eyes.

“Why did you secretly meet Cedric today?”

Joseph pinched Isabella’s face tightly. Not only did the madness not dissipate, it became even more obvious, “Why did you lie to me, why did you kiss him, why didn’t you let me be intimate with you.”

Isabella clenched her fists and settled down. She smiled generously, “Andy said that he only saw a girl who looked similar to me. Why did you take it seriously? You know that Cedric likes me. It’s normal for the girl he likes to look like me now.”

“Isabella, you are still lying!”

Joseph’s eyes suddenly turned sharp, “Do you think I am a fool?” I have known you for more than a month, and your expression at that moment has already explained everything! How many lies did you make, and how many things have you done hiding from me? We are obviously going to get married and you are still meeting other man! I just left for a day because of work, but you couldn’t wait to see Cedric. How do you like him? Why do you linger between two men?”

When Isabella heard Joseph say “leave because of work for a day”, the scene of him covering Stella’s stomach with a coat suddenly appeared in her mind. She instantly became agitated and spared no efforts to get free of Joseph’s wrist, “Joseph, I know you’re still on fire because of Michael. Let me go. I don’t want to talk to you now.”

“You don’t want to talk to me?”

Joseph didn’t let go. Instead, the muscles on his arm bulged due to his strength. “Because you linger around Cedric, you don’t want to talk to me anymore?”

“It was a coincidence that I met him!” “Joseph, you look so scary now. Can we talk about this in a few days?” Isabella was also a little angry.
