“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
Dinner takes place in a cozy but equally solemn atmosphere. The dining table is displayed with delicate dishes and dark red wine glasses. Mr. William, sitting in the central position, continuously discussed the plan of cooperation between William Group and Brian’s Elise Group.“Brian, I think this cooperation project will bring significant benefits to both sides,” Mr. William said, his voice full of enthusiasm. “Our cooperation will create a powerful alliance in the industry.”“That’s right, Mr. William. I am also looking forward to this cooperation. However, I have a small idea to propose.” Brian smiled, lifted the glass of wine, but did not rush to drink.Mr. William nodded, signaling Brian to continue. “You said, Brian.”Brian glanced at Joseph meaningfully and turned to look at Mr. William. “I think Joseph is the right person to manage this project. The two of us have known each other for a long time, and I believe that the coordination between the two of us will be easier to disc
Brian looked at Joseph, his voice almost pleading. “Joseph, stop talking.” He turned to Mr. William impatiently. “Sir William, please allow me to take Joseph away from here.”Mr. William said nothing, just nodded coldly. Brian quickly pushed Joseph’s wheelchair out of the dining room, leaving the tense “battlefield”. Butler Canluvick was waiting outside with a medical kit in hand.“Canluvick, thank you,” Brian said, taking the medical kit“I’ll take Joseph to his room and take care of him.”Canluvick nodded, worried. “Sir Brian, if you need any help, please call me.”Brian thanked him again and pushed Joseph’s wheelchair back to his room. When he arrived, Brian opened the door and gently helped Joseph onto the bed. He opened the medical box and prepared tools to clean the wound.Brian wiped the wine off Joseph’s face, complaining as he did so. “Joseph, why do you confront that old man?” He stopped and looked at Joseph. “You know his personality. It’s okay to hold back for a bit.”Jose
