399 Take You to Fight Back Against Them

Joseph couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “That’s why you have to be punished for provoking your husband. Hurry up and call them. I’ll get you something to eat. You haven’t eaten anything all day.”

Isabella immediately kicked Joseph. “Yes! It’s all because of you. You didn’t let me go to eat something until you were satisfied! Naughty man!”

Joseph smiled and walked away. “It was you who didn’t let go.”

After Joseph left, Isabella took out her phone and dialed her mother’s number.

After a few phone rings, Rosa picked up the phone. She was still gentle. “Hello?”

“Mom.

“I’m going back for dinner tonight with my boyfriend. He’s a little picky about his food. Remember to lighten the taste of the dishes,” Isabella said in a good mood.

“Isabella...” When Rosa heard this, she did not show any happiness. Instead, she lowered her voice and said carefully, “Didn’t I tell you not to come back recently? Ever since you broke into Carl’s bedroom last time, he has been forcing me to ask about your whereabouts. Recently, because of the scandal of Lukas, Rosy has been crying all day. Carl’s temper is particularly bad now, and he always scolds us and smashes things.”

Isabella was silent for a while. “Did he hit you again recently?”

.....

“Not that bad...”

Rosa was silent for a while. “In short, don’t come back recently, Isabella. Mom will definitely be fine. You protect yourself. Aren’t you going to graduate soon? Find a job and live well. If everything goes well, don’t come back forever.”

Isabella was stunned and tears instantly flowed down her face. “Mom, I want to bring my boyfriend back to see you this time. He promised me that he would bring you out. He has already prepared a house for you.”

“House...”

Rosa was silent for a while and suddenly asked, “Isabella, in other words, your boyfriend is not the gentleman from the Stretton family, right?”

“No, he isn’t.”

Isabella did not hide it at all. “The gentleman from the Stretton family and I are not suitable. This is the one I mentioned to you before. The misunderstanding between us has been resolved. I like him very much now.”

“So it was you who proposed to break up with Mr. Cedric, right?”

“Yes.”

Rosa said directly, “Then don’t come back.”

“Why? I broke up with Mr. Cedric because I was not suitable for him. My current boyfriend is visiting my family as a future son-in-law, which is not a conflict,” Isabella said in confusion.

“Don’t you know about Carl’s personality? He tried every means to stick to the Stretton family. Recently, I heard that because you proposed to break up with that gentleman, that gentleman has been in a very bad mood recently. Not only did he refuse to go on blind dates at home, but he also often drank. The elders of the Stretton family are very angry. The day before yesterday, when Carl went to visit them, he was directly kicked out of the door. When he came back, he was so angry that he almost lost his mind.”

Rosa advised seriously, “So Isabella, you can’t come back because Carl might even vent his anger on your boyfriend... I am an experienced person. I advise you not to let your boyfriend know about these shameful things like Carl. Otherwise, he will also look down on you. If you really think that he is okay, then live well with him. Don’t come back and suffer.”

“But...”

Isabella was about to speak when she suddenly heard a commotion on the other side. Before she could react, she heard Carl’s cursing through the phone. He shouted, “Isabella! If you come back today, I will beat you to death! You traitor! I have raised you for so many years and you dare to be an ingrate!”

Rosa shouted, “Isabella, don’t come back! Isabella, go find your own happiness!”

Then the sound of slapping came.

“You bitch! If she doesn’t come back, I’ll kill you!”

Isabella heard the slap and her mother’s crying on the other side of the line. She hurriedly shouted, “Don’t hit my mom! Don’t hit her! I’ll go back, I’ll go back tonight...”

Another slap came again.

The phone was hung and Isabella wiped her tears. She got up anxiously to look for clothes. When she got out of bed, she found that her legs went soft and she fell to the ground.

Joseph took the food and went in. When he saw Isabella’s state, he couldn’t help but tease, “Are your legs weak? Do you need me to carry you?”

As he spoke, he put down the tray and leaned over to help Isabella. When he looked up, he found that her face was full of tears.

“What’s wrong?” Joseph was stunned.

“Carl is hitting my mother again. Because I broke up with Cedric, Carl lost the chance to get close to the rich. Now he is going crazy.”

Isabella flurried shake off Joseph’s hand, wrap herself with a blanket. “I want to go back and save my mother. I want to go back now.”

“Did you tell your mother that we would visit today?” Joseph asked when he saw how flustered Isabella was.

“Yes, but my mother said that Carl may vent his anger on you if you go. So you’d better stay at home today. Carl really is cruel when he goes crazy.” Isabella ran to the cloakroom.

Joseph pulled the panic-stricken Isabella back into his arms and looked at her seriously. “Isabella, can you calm down? I am your boyfriend now and will soon be your husband. Do you understand this identity and relationship?”

Isabella was stunned.

“Let alone a small Smith family, even if it is a place with disaster, I have to accompany you, because we are already the closest people in the world, understand?”

Isabella was at a loss for a moment before tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

Joseph wiped her tears and said helplessly, “Alright. Don’t be sad. Don’t be afraid. It’s easy for others to make you cry. But you are obviously very cunning in front of me.”

“I’m not sad. I’m touched.

“I forgot I’m no longer alone now. You can back me up now,” said Isabella, hugging Joseph tightly.

Joseph laughed and pinched Isabella’s cheek. “Then quickly eat something and dress up beautifully. Today, I will accompany you to see if the Smith family is such a deep end that even the cunning Isabella is afraid of!”

Under Joseph’s suggestion, Isabella picked out a black dress and polished a very imposing red lips. Her hair was loose and rolled up. She was dressed in a grand manner.

In Joseph’s words, it was this solemn outfit that gave Isabella, who would tremble with fear the moment she saw the Smith family, a bit of confidence.

Isabella looked at herself in the mirror and then looked at Joseph who was standing behind her. He was tall and gave her a sense of security. She reached out and gently held his hand that was placed on her shoulder. Sure enough, she felt that she had become much more imposing. “Darling, you are my confidence today. Let’s go.”

Joseph lowered his head and kissed her cheek, revealing a sly smile. “Let’s go, darling. Today, I will take you to fight back against these bad guys!”

Isabella grinned, revealing a happy smile...
