337 That Man

“I’m really tired of Joseph recently.”

Cedric touched his forehead. “I don’t know if I am wrong about him. I think he has been very abnormal recently. I really want to beat him up.”

Isabella was stunned and immediately said, “Don’t think too much. Ms. Stella grew up with you, right? Hurry to go. She lacks a sense of security now.”

Although Isabella was unhappy about Joseph’s kindness to Stella, Stella was not very annoying in some ways.

Stella was beautiful and generous. She would also greet Isabella whenever they met. She even wanted to help Isabella remove the misunderstanding. She was really a good person.

Therefore, Isabella actually liked Stella very much. It was partly because Stella used to be Isabella’s idol.

“Stella really grew up with us.”

Cedric nodded. “But she only liked to stay with Joseph since our childhood. So to me, she is just a special friend. I can’t understand why she asks all of us to stay with her.”

After a pause, he said, “Well, maybe it’s really because of the kidnapping in America this time. I heard that the kidnapper is a psychopath who tormented Stella for a long time. I feel that the recent things are quite strange.”

.....

Isabella nodded. “I’ve watched that video... But...”

Isabella thought about it and asked, “But hasn’t Ms. Stella had a boyfriend in the past few years? Wasn’t her boyfriend worried about her in this kidnapping case? Why did he wait for Joseph to save her?”

She paused and then continued, “But it makes sense... Although Ms. Stella has a lot of gossip, she doesn’t seem to have a boyfriend...”

Cedric jeered.

Cedric’s eyes darkened, and there were mixed feelings in them. “It’s not true. Stella has a boyfriend in America but no one dares to reveal it.”

Isabella was stunned. “No one dares...”

“It’s the adopted son of the boss of the Italian Mafia, a man of mixed blood. Now he controls the whole American underworld. His nickname is ‘Kason Ward’. He is the king of the underworld.”

Cedric sneered, “Who dares to spread his gossip? If people dare to annoy him, they might be killed the next day. No one wants to risk his life.”

Isabella was dumbfounded. “So Ms. Stella’s boyfriend is such a person...”

She paused for a moment, then continued, “No wonder she didn’t dare to tell Joseph why she had left...”

Then Isabella suddenly stopped.

Cedric looked at Isabella in confusion. “Isabella, how did you know...”

Isabella screamed.

Isabella immediately scratched her head to hide her embarrassment. “I heard Zachary and the others talk about it. I went out with them a few times before.”

Cedric sized up Isabella’s nervous expression and nodded thoughtfully. Then, he smiled and said, “Isabella, it’s okay. I know. Even if you go out with them, you are not a bad girl as they said. I know you are a good girl.”

Isabella lowered her head. “Cedric, thank you for trusting me.”

Cedric smiled as he rubbed Isabella’s head. “Sometimes, love is just like this. You will keep thinking of something that you can’t get. After Stella got together with Kason, Joseph was depressed for a time. He once thought of getting Stella back from Kason with his family’s power, but Kason...”

Cedric thought for a moment and said, “You should know that in America, possessing guns are legal. And there are no regulations in some areas. The reason why Kason is so terrifying is that he is a real king of the underworld. He is the absolute ruler who can decide others’ life and death. He once planned to assassinate very important people.”

Isabella said in disbelief, “He can decide others’ life and death.”

“Yes.”

Cedric nodded without any hesitation. He was not joking or exaggerating at all. “Thus, Joseph’s confrontation and provocation enraged Kason. For a period of time, Kason went against the whole Wilson Consortium.”

“Such a conflict would put the Wilson Consortium in a hard situation, right? After all, Kason will fulfill his goals without thinking about the results.”

Cedric shook his head. “Although the Wilson Consortium is low-key in Peace City, this is just Master Wilson’s style. In fact, his family’s influence is not far-reaching in the international arena. Joseph was not kicking against the pricks, but this was a battle without a winner.”

Isabella pursed her lips. She felt like she was listening to a story in fiction. “But the Wilsons do business.”

“Yes, you got the key point.”

Cedric nodded. “The Wilsons and the Bells have grudges. Joseph, as the eldest grandson of Master Wilson and the first heir, was willing to fight with Kason for a woman at the expanse of his family. The Wilsons were enraged, so Joseph lost his right of inheritance in a short period. If it weren’t because Master Wilson doted on Joseph and Joseph became more mature and reliable these past few years, he would be given up.”

Isabella’s eyes darkened. She didn’t expect that Joseph would do this for Stella...

However, that was true. Although he was a little arrogant, he was a responsible man.

And he had strong desires for possessing and conquering.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Just like a month ago, she was just pretending to be Joseph’s girlfriend, but he did not allow her to go against his will.

He was extremely overbearing.

So, it could be imagined what he would do when Kason brought Stella away from him.

“Are you scared?”

Cedric stroked Isabella’s head when she was dumbfounded. “I’m so strange. I don’t know why I told you this.”

Isabella found the key point. “Since Ms. Stella’s boyfriend is so powerful, why didn’t he deal with the kidnapping?”

“How can a person like Kason be sincere to Stella? He has no feelings at all. Back then, he was determined to get Stella because he wanted to win Joseph. That was actually a competition between two stubborn men. Whether it was a woman or a toy, it didn’t matter. So when Joseph gave up Stella...”

Cedric sighed, “Kason lost all interest in Stella very quickly. He didn’t mind that Stella was kidnapped and her life was in danger. If Joseph hadn’t risked his life to save her this time, Stella would have died. No wonder Stella began to pursue Joseph again after coming back. She might finally find out who loved her the most in this world, but there is something that Joseph doesn’t know. So he was still hesitating to accept Stella again...”

“Accept her again...”

“Alright, go to sleep.” Cedric stood up. “No matter what, I should go over and see Stella.”

Isabella’s eyes flickered as she looked at Cedric. She suddenly realized something. “Cedric, why do you know so much about things that Joseph doesn’t know?”
