sabelle said, Tm planning to start a company and I need technicians. Will you come to my company after raduation? Minimum five–year contract, what do you think?”
Of course, this was also a lie.
But it was more convincing than the reason just now.
Joshua believed it for only two seconds. Because he didn’t think he had that value at all, let alone catching the eye of someone like her. But Joshua couldn’t figure out the true intention behind her kindness. Was it just another rich person’s strange sense of fun, or was there something more to it?
Isabelle said, “I judge people based on their character, not anything else.”
Joshua found it amusing. “Character? You’ve only known me for a few days.”
Isabelle replied, “Filial piety, resilience, and hard work. Everything else comes after.” Joshua glanced at her, then went silent, bowing his head to continue eating noodles.
After leaving the restaurant, Joshua walked into the alley while Isabelle drove back to her villa.
The next day, Isabelle didn’t see Joshua at school.
“Have you seen Joshua?” Isabelle asked a male student behind her.
The boy shook his head. “Nope, haven’t seen him”
He was so envious of Joshua
habelle found the counsellor and found out Joshua hadn’t asked for leave, yet he wasn’t at school.
- habelle got permission from the counsellor to skip class, then borrowed a car from Danny, and they left school shortly after
After more than half an hour, Isabelle and the skipping class Danny showed up downstairs at Joshua’s place
Danny followed her upstairs “Boss, did you come all the way here to find someone or for some other
reason?”
Joshua’s door wasn’t completely shut, just slightly open.
“Joshua“” Isabelle knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.
hunt of blood lingered in the air.
Isabelle pushed the door open and entered, finding the living room in chaos, with Joshua unconscious on the floor, blood dripping from his head, and a broken bottle nearby.
Danny exclaimed, “Holy crap! Is he dead?!”
frabelle quickly stepped into the bedroom, where Deborah lay on the floor, her upper body face–down,

on the bed covering her.
It was not hard to see that Deborah was in a hurry to help him.

Danny, who skipped class on purpose, felt a bit miserable. He thought there would be something fun to do
by tagging along, but ended up carrying someone, not sure if they were dead or alive, down from the fourth floor, with blood smeared all over him.
Fortunately, Isabelle was in a hurry to get Joshua to the hospital, giving Danny a taste of speed and adrenaline, which got him all worked up.
Joshua received over a dozen stitches on his head. When he woke up, he saw Isabelle sitting by his bed. Without asking anything else, he urgently inquired about his mother, “Where’s my mom?”
Isabelle replied. “In the next room.”
Joshua hurriedly got out of bed and ran to the next room, and Isabelle didn’t stop him.
Deborah had just taken some medication and was asleep.
Seeing his mother unharmed, Joshua felt relieved.
Danny asked, “Dude, what happened? Did someone raid your house? Should we call the cops? I know people in the police station.”
Danny replied, “Forget it, let’s not talk about it.”
“How did this happen?” Isabelle asked.
Joshua stared at his mother’s frail face, silent for a moment, before his dry throat spoke up, “It’s none of your business.”
Seeing Joshua’s attitude, Danny’s temper flared up immediately. “Hey, buddy, we tried to help you out of goodwill, and this is how you repay us? No wonder you got hit with a bottle.”
Isabelle interjected, ‘It was your father.”
Her tone was almost certain.
Looking at the mess in the living room, it didn’t seem like there was a big fight involving multiple people.
It looked more like someone in their emotions and throwing things around. It couldn’t have been
Joshua himself. If it was an enemy, there was no reason Joshua wouldn’t have stepped in.
Then there was that smashed bottle.
It was
likely Joshua’s father, who was known to be an alcoholic.
Judging by the scene and Joshua’s unconscious state, it seemed there was a physical altercation between Joshua and his dad. Joshua probably didn’t fight back much, just trying to push his dad away, but his dad got violent.
You can tell just by looking at Joshua’s reaction.
“Your dad did this to you? D*mn, what kind of dad is that? Is he even your real dad? Who uses a bottle on their son?” Danny was filled with anger.

Seeing the pitiful mother and son, Danny grew angrier.
“You tell me where your jerk dad is, and I’ll have someone drag him over here.”
Joshua remained silent.

“Your mother needs to stay in the hospital. I’ve paid for her medical expenses for a year, and a caregiver will arrive later,” Isabelle said.
Joshua turned his face slightly away but didn’t look at her.
“You’ll have to repay me later, Isabelle added.
That statement made it impossible for Joshua to refuse her help any longer.
Danny had recognised Joshua as the student from the cafeteria who used to serve him food. He glanced at Isabelle, who was showing great kindness, and then back at Joshua, who stood tall and handsome.
Not able to hold back his curiosity, Danny whispered, “Boss, did you dump George again?” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Isabelle glanced at him, saying nothing.
They both then exited the ward, getting ready to head back.
Danny couldn’t resist glancing back at the room, continuing his chatter.
“You know, I’m all for you dumping George, but that guy just now wasn’t even as good–looking as me. And his dad? Total j*rk.”
