Chapter 87-3

right hand was gently placed on the armrest, and his left hand was casually hanging by his side.

He squinted and stared at the Dixon family with an intense gaze, as if wanting to see through their intentions. The entire living room was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere, as if time had frozen because of his presence.

Although Robert and Emily also felt that Joseph’s aura was too powerful, they were delighted. They thought, ’The CEO of Darling Group is about to become our family’s son-in-law. The more they thought about it, the happier they became.

"Joseph, you’re back," Robert said, greeting him with a touch of respect and ingratiation.

He did not put on airs just because he was an elder. Instead, he showed more respect simply because Joseph was the heir of the richest family.

However, Joseph had no intention of paying attention to Robert at all, which made him feel somewhat awkward. Emily, who was sitting at the side, felt humiliated to the point where she could not maintain her composure anymore. She thought, ’No matter what, it’s your future father-in-law greeting you. How come you are still acting all high and mighty?’

"Joseph, no matter what, Robert is your future father-in-law," she said. "How can you be so indifferent? With an attitude like this, how can I feel at ease about letting Sienna get married to you?"

After Emily finished speaking, she felt a pang of heartache.

"Mom, don’t criticize him," Sienna said. "Joseph isn’t usually like this. Maybe he faced some difficulties at work, which is why he’s in a bad mood. Don’t hold this against him."

Sienna appeared to be reasonable, putting in a good word for Joseph.

Emily said, "Alright. Fine. You haven’t even married yet, but you’re already siding with an outsider. Your dad and I have doted on you for nothing." She shot Sienna a doting glare, looking like she had no way of dealing with her.

Howard and Vivian thought, ’The Dixon family is really dramatic. We haven’t said anything, and they’ve already started acting.

’If Sienna really married into our family, we wouldn’t dare to imagine how chaotic our family would become. Fortunately, our precious daughter has found out about Sienna’s evil intentions in time. Otherwise, the harmony and prosperity of our family would be lost.

"Joseph, we’re here today to discuss Sienna’s marriage with you," Robert said. "You two have been together for a few years. It’s time to settle down."

Noticing that the Darling family kept avoiding this topic, Robert had no choice but to speak up again to urge them about the marriage.

"Doesn’t Sienna know why we’re together?" Joseph said. "If it weren’t for her scheming against me, would I have been with her?" Speaking of this, Joseph was extremely disgusted. He thought, ’She’s too scheming. If Danielle hadn’t sent me the video in time, I might have really jumped into the Dixon family’s trap.’
