“Oh right Joseph, how are things going with your family?” Ace suddenly changed the subject.Joseph was slightly stunned but quickly controlled his emotions back to a normal state. He slowly brought the cup of tea to his mouth and took a sip.“No, I haven't been back there for a long time.” That's right, since his mother passed away, that place is no longer his home. For Joseph, the word "family" is extremely luxurious. Previously, I lived in Wiliam's house, living in luxury but without any human warmth. Later when he met Charlotte, Joseph thought he had found his true "family" but she left him. Not only that, but Charlotte also pushed him into difficult situations time and time again. Just like before, she was the first person to refute his arguments, the person she was willing to stand up for was Anthony, not him!Ace is also an observant person, Joseph's change in facial expression was noticed by him. Of course, he also understood the reason for that.“I just want to remind you a li
Chapter 54“Let's see what you can do without this! Want to accuse me? It's not easy!” Anthony gave a false smile.He quickly blended into the flow of people passing by, his eyes constantly looking around. It was also Anthony's first time coming to this place, and the location of his sample testing room was unknown.After a while of searching, Anthony finally found the sample testing room. Anthony carefully looked around, then entered after confirming there was no one.“Hey, what are you still doing there? Come over here and help me!” A deep, hoarse voice suddenly rang out in the corner of the room, causing Anthony to jump."Damned! Obviously I looked closely just now!” Anthony cursed silently in his heart.“Hey, why don't you hurry over and give me a hand?“I'm telling you, it's been a long time since you moved to this sampling room, but you're always making excuses to skip work. If you don't have a stomach ache, you'll have a headache. If you don't have a headache, you'll be hungry!
“What’s going on? Just spit it out!” Joseph furrowed his brow slightly, suspecting that there was a problem.“Your phone that you brought to the police station, it got stolen!”“Joseph, I sincerely apologize for this!” Mr. Ace hesitated to speak up. It was the first time Joseph had asked him for help, and yet he couldn’t handle a small matter like this. He had previously promised that he would definitely give Joseph an accurate result, an answer that he wanted.Joseph said nothing. Of course, he was smart enough to figure out who had taken that phone.“Hold on!” Joseph suddenly exclaimed, as if he had just realized something.The car that had just collided with his was Anthony’s! Yes, it was Anthony’s car! Joseph had seen him drive that car before. Normally, Anthony drove a BMW, but there was a time Joseph saw him in the car he had just seen. Yes, there was no mistaking it!“I have something to do. I’m hanging up!” Joseph quickly hung up the phone. He turned the car around, chasing af
“Master Joseph, it’s been a long time! The master truly misses you!” Butler Canluvick smiled at Joseph. Compared two years ago, he looked just the same.Joseph slowly closed his eyes, saying nothing. Outwardly, Joseph appeared perfectly normal, as if nothing were wrong, but inside, waves of unease churned.“Since you left, the master has always remembered you. He often mentions you to me!” Canluvick bowed slightly. His attitude towards Joseph was extremely respectful.“Was it you who brought me to the hospital?” Joseph tilted his head slightly to the left. His head still ached, his body was sore, and some places still oozed blood.Canluvick quickly dismissed Joseph’s speculation. “Yes, it was the master. If it weren’t for him this time, you would have stepped into the gates of hell!”“My father?” Joseph furrowed his brow slightly. Canluvick’s answer surprised him; William rarely made public appearances. Moreover, their relationship wasn’t good. His father’s personal visit to the city
"There's no need to look for him anymore. Everything has been resolved."When Joseph's entire mind was now completely focused on Anthony, he needed to know where he was now, whether he had run away or not. I need to get that zip bag back.At that moment, a voice rang out, interrupting his thoughts, the voice of butler Canluvick. He spoke calmly, with a tone so normal that it couldn't be more normal, but it made Joseph both surprised and foresee something not so good.“What do you mean?”"That's it, young master, your matter, everything has been resolved satisfactorily."What did he mean by "all your stuff", was it your involvement with Anthony or all the other stuff?"What do you mean?"Joseph seemed like he wanted to jump out of bed, rush to grab butler Canluvick's collar and interrogate him. But right now, just moving a little bit was enough to make the wound on his body extremely painful. Joseph did not expect to be injured so seriously.“Young master, just calm down. If you tear o
“Take them away,” Mr. Canluvick ordered his subordinates. In less than thirty seconds, Charlotte and Rebecca were rushed out by Mr. Canluvick's men.“Young master, you just rest and recuperate, we will arrange for you to return in a few days.”Joseph didn't say anything, he just kept his eyes closed. Joseph's insides were a mess right now.Two days later, as promised, butler Canluvick sent a car to pick up Joseph and return.Joseph stood quietly in front of the car door, feeling the sharp look from butler Canluvick. His heart tightened, not from fear but from a feeling of disappointment. He has worked hard for many years to assert himself, but now he has to return to William's house, where he always feels despised."Sir Joseph, you can't stand here forever," Canluvick reminded, his voice both soft and forceful.“Young master, everything in this world is born with its inherent position. It's time for you to return to your place.”“It's been a long time.” Joseph looked up at the sky, fe
Joseph obeyed, trying to keep his spirits up. He knew that this conversation wouldn’t be easy, but he also didn’t want to continue to be looked down upon.“Joseph,” Mr. William began, his eyes looking straight at him, expressionless. “Do you know why I called you in here?”“It’s about coming back, right?,” Joseph replied, trying to keep his voice calm.“That’s right,” Mr. William said, his hand tapping lightly on the tabletop.“How long have you been away from here? Five years? Six years? And now you’re back, bringing your failure with you. Do you know what that means?”“No, I don’t think my best friend failed,” Joseph said, his eyes shining with determination. “I learned a lot during my time out. I came back not because I couldn’t stand on my own, but because you wanted me to come back.”“Is that really so? You didn’t come back here because your best friend failed so much with your choice. A marriage that didn’t work out. The girl he loved with all his heart gave him a divorce petiti
Joseph stood in the family’s extensive garden, looking at Brian with gratitude and a little surprise. He knew Brian must have heard the news that his father had captured him and relieved him. Brian, not only have I been your best friend since childhood, but I am the one who has always stood by your side during difficult times.“Joseph, I heard your father called you home, so I came to visit immediately.”Brian said, his voice filled with concern. “Are you okay?”“I’m fine, Brian,” Joseph replied, a gentle smile on his lips.“Thank you for coming.”At that moment, Mr. William walked out of the house and approached the two people.“Brian, it’s nice to see you visit.”“You have always been a valued friend of the family.” Mr. William said and laughed.“Sir William, I am glad to hear that Joseph has returned.”Mr. William nodded and invited Brian and Joseph to sit down“Thank you for visiting Joseph and this old man. Your family has always been our important friends and partners.”Brian no
