Enchanted By His Charm

"I..." Her lips trembled gently, and she spat out only one word with all her strength.

"Honey." Joseph looked at her sadly, heavy words came from his mouth. "I really don't know what to do to you. I'm tired. I'm really tired."

After that, he slowly lowered his arm.

Turning around, he picked up the car keys and left the living room.

The elevator door opened, he stepped in, and the elevator door closed slowly, covering his lonely back.

Irish seemed to have been pumped, and the whole person fell to the ground.

She lifted her eyes and cried.

At the Runestone shareholders' meeting, Roy announced that he would entrust the company's whole operation to Joseph, which everyone knows. Finally, Roy was idle, but the Lake family was badly nervous.

Except for Ruby.

She was focused only on Emery, and she had never been concerned about the matter of the Lake family.

As the wedding period approached, Roy brought Cassie home. After all, he had to live with Shirley for a period of time after the marriage, so he would bring her back just to get her to adapt to this life as soon as possible.

Cassie was always estranged from Shirley for Irish's sake.

Shirley, on the other hand, was reluctant to admit that Cassie was about to become the Lake's eldest daughter-in-law, and secretly she would have demeaned some of her behavior.

But that night, she was no longer picky about Cassie at dinner but mainly targeted Roy. In addition, Shirley, William, and Kelly also came.

William was so annoyed at Roy's decision to hand the right to Joseph, and he was not allowed to leave the Runestone Group.

And Roy explained that he was really not suitable to stay in the Runestone, and he had been in prison, and told them that he had returned to the airline and returned to work after the marriage.

Angry, William said, "You don't care about your father, either?"

"But there is no evidence that it was Joseph who killed my father." Roy was seeking the truth.

Cassie, who sat with her head down and ate silently, felt stunned. Only then did she know that they were suspicious that Joseph caused Henry Lake's death.

How was this possible?

Shirley was unhappy to hear that. "How do you know if you don't check it?"

"Mom, I really don't see anything wrong." Roy is in pain.

"You..."

"Roy." This time Kelly opened her mouth, and her voice was always light. "After all, the group is your father's painstaking efforts, and it is not appropriate for you to give up. It is not about the cause of your father's death. More importantly, you are Lake's eldest successor. You have to take on this important task."ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"Yes, your aunt is right. You can't let it go." William hurriedly said.

Roy made a surrender, "I sincerely ask you to let go of me, I really cannot bear it."

"Roy!" Shirley was angry and reached out and patted him hard. "When you return to the group, we have an agreement. Don't cross the river and tear down the bridge. I warn you. I can repent at any time!"

Roy was helpless, putting down the knife, and said, "Mom, what do you mean now?"

"You think everything's all right now, don't you? Roy, can you hide it from me?" Shirley directly said, "I'm telling you, if you don't go back to work, you two will not get married!"

With a bang, Cassie's knife in her hand fell to the ground.

"Are you still a little cultured? Do you eat at home like that, too?" Shirley immediately vented her anger on Cassie.

"I'm sorry." Cassie bit her lower lip hard and bent over to pick it up.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Roy quickly picked up the knife for her, ordered the servant to change for her, and took Cassie's hand under the table. He turned to Shirley, "Our marriage had been settled. Even if you don't want to admit that the wedding date has been announced to the public, do you want all the guests to laugh at us?"

Roy's words made Shirley embarrassed. She was choked with her mouth open and breath sharp. Her heart beat quickly, and after a great while, she felt wronged, crying.

"I got it. You promised me to come back to Runestone, which was not for me, but for her. Are you still my son? Have you ever considered me? You are the only hope for the Lakes, but you just want to be a captain? You should focus on the Runestone Group, but now you have given up on it. Haven't you figured out Joseph's ambition? You just let go of the Runestone Group!"

Shirley just shouted, and she didn't care what others would say. Her words hurt others, and Cassie became the victim. In Shirley's eyes, Cassie was the one to be blamed.

Shirley's shouting and crying made Cassie embarrassed. Holding the knife passed by Roy, she didn't want to eat anymore. She even had the impulse to leave but just couldn't make it.

Why didn't she leave?

She couldn't find out the reason, and finally, she concluded: She didn't want to make Roy unhappy.

The reason why she didn't want to make Roy unhappy was simple. He had something unbeneficial to her. She was afraid that Shirley would be unhappier if she just left and Roy would act in an unreasonable way.

Was that so? She asked herself. She could just think of it that way.

Roy became helpless and angry. He wanted to comfort Shirley, but he thought her words were annoying. He looked at Cassie subconsciously. She just lowered her head with long eyelashes covering her eyes, clenching her knife tightly. She didn't eat anything and just closed her mouth. Looking at her from his angle, she looked wronged and lovely.

Shirley kept sobbing. Roy sighed. "Mom, do not behave that way."

"You ask me not to behave this way? You..."

"Calm down. Please." William stopped them and looked at Roy, "Your mother does it for your good. You should have taken the Lakes into consideration. Your mother's words make sense. If you just leave, Runestone Group will be in Joseph's control."

"He promised that he would not change the ratio of Lake's share in the Group." Roy reasoned out.

However, William wouldn't believe it, "It's so easy for you to believe other people's words. Joseph has so much experience in management. Do you really think that he can have such great success through fair competition? You are wrong if you really think that way. In the business field, cheating is common, and whether trust exists depends on the interests. You think that he will keep his promise, but the fact may be that he will betray you one day. The final successor will get the power, while nobody cares how they make it, and the successor himself will not tell his story, either."

Roy shook his head, "Joseph will not be like that."
