Chapter 87 Misfortune (2)
"Even if this kind of person comes out, I won't use him anymore, what else would he do but cause trouble?!" In the dining room, Archie viciously slapped his chopsticks on the table, his whole body shaking with anger. The family at the table didn't dare to speak, and everyone had a sullen face.
Gloria even trembled with frightened hands, "Dad, take it easy, I believe that Joseph will change himself after this time." Originally, she thought the matter could be kept well under wraps, but she didn't expect it to be directly on the news. This must be Jocelyn's doing too, it must be!
She was really scared, and felt more and more that Joseph's position as the president would be really hard to keep.
What if Joseph really lost the president position, then what would she do? This is really a disaster!
If her parents get divorced and her husband loses the president position, her status among her sisters will be in ruins.
At that time, she would have almost no advantage in the battle for the Murphy family's property.
"Dad, it's my fault for not suppressing the news on this matter." William lowered his head with a guilty look.
"What does it have to do with you? William, don't be too kind, don't take everything on yourself!"
"The biggest mistake you made was not failing to suppress the news, but choosing to hide it from me together with Gloria!" With that said, Archie gave Gloria a cold glare.
Gloria subconsciously sucked in a cold breath and didn't dare to say a word more.
"Dad, I was wrong." William continued to lower his head.
"If you know you're wrong, you should put your heart and soul into getting the company through this crisis, and find a way to get Joseph out and clear his name. His imprisonment is a disgrace to my Steward family." Archie said.
"I know, Dad." William nodded respectfully, "I'm going out to do some work."
With those words, William pushed his wheelchair by himself and moved quickly outside.
His eyes gradually became sly where the eyes of the crowd could not reach.
Joseph, you can only blame your wife for being so stupid as to put all her hopes on me.
How could I possibly help you press on everything?
At the same time, on the other side of the countryside, inside a six-storey castle style villa, it was a different scene.
In the sunny living room, Allie was dressed in a tight black housecoat, sitting on a red yoga mat, doing yoga to music.
Time seemed to have stood still for her.
She had a beautiful figure, without an ounce of excess flesh, not at all like someone who had given birth to several children. When Noah stepped out of the lift, he walked straight up to Allie, "Tom said you want to see me, what is going on?"
Last night, he heard Tom say that she had something important to ask for him, so he immediately drove back in his car.
As a result, when he arrived home, the maid told him that Allie had fallen asleep.
He then silently went back to his room and played games all night.
Upon hearing this, Allie immediately turned off the music with the remote control, and then slowly stood up and said, "Yes, I wanted to talk to you when you came back, but I ended up falling asleep accidentally sorry, son."
Noah helplessly held his forehead, "It's okay, I get used to it."
Allie smiled awkwardly, "Actually I just wanted to compliment you, as you did a good job. I saw all those news on the internet, I know it was you behind the scene."
"Not all of them, most of them are your daughter-in-law's work, a lot of things have been pre-empted by her." Noah said.
"What? My daughter-in-law is impressive, isn't she? Gosh, today is another day to worship my daughter-in-law." Allie's eyes were full of adoration, her eyes seemed to glow in the sunlight. "Hmm." Noah said indifferently.
"But you are weak. How could you get jumped by her? There's something wrong with your ability." Allie looked disgusted.
"You're really my mother." Noah had a helpless look on his face.
"Am I right? Next time, don't be preempted, okay? You must think ahead of my daughter-in-law in everything, don't waste my daughter-in-law's brain cells." Allie added.
"...... I know." Noah said.
"I saw on the hot search that you were beaten by Joseph." Allie asked.
"You finally care about me?"
"Oh, my attention was on my daughter-in-law, I forgot about it, sorry son." Oh."
"By the way, son, You followed Jocelyn to the wedding yesterday, did you wow the crowd?"
"I think everyone must have been stunned to see how well you guys look together, right?" Allie asked with great interest.
She then intimately took Noah's arm, with a thirst for knowledge.
"Yeah." Noah calmly raised his eyebrows.
"I knew that was the case. When you went out yesterday, that outfit of yours was handsome."
"My wife has a good taste." Noah curled his lips.
"Did Jocelyn pick out that outfit for you?"
"She bought it for me." Noah responded calmly.
Allie's face instantly darkened and she immediately let go of Noah, dissatisfied, "You're a man, how can you have the guts to spend a woman's money? Don't you have any money?" "My wife had to buy it for me, it's not good to disappoint her good intentions."
"Shame on you!" Allie said without mercy.
"I returned the gift."
"Well, that's more like it."
After Jocelyn accompanied Allen with breakfast, she spent the whole day in the study with him.
The two wrote calligraphy and painted together in a warm and harmonious way.
Even lunch was eaten by the two together in the study.
During this period, Sara came to the study several times to look for Allen, but was kicked out by Allen. Because of Jocelyn's company throughout the day, Allen's mood slowly improved.
As the sun set, the golden light spilled over every corner of the study and the world became warmer. Outside Sara was anxious like ants on a hot pot, but in the study the two were quiet.
The next day Jocelyn spent another whole day with Allen.
The two still continued writing calligraphy and painting.
At meal times, Jocelyn accompanied him in the study for wine.
Sara repeatedly approached Allen for a chat, but still repeatedly refused.
To keep his mood good, Allen even moved out of the master bedroom.
The marriage between the two was on the verge of death.
Because Allen was in a better mood, Jocelyn was much more relaxed.
In the evening, after Allen went to bed, Jocelyn called and asked Paige to go to a bar for a drink.
Jocelyn put on a light make-up and put on lipstick.
Once her make-up was finished, she combed her hair into a sharp high ponytail.
She was young, and once the bangs were down she looked even more like a high school student.
