Chapter 166
The moon was cold and the stars were nowhere to be seen.
The Maybach stopped in front of Mazeland Manor. Joseph got out of the car alone and ordered the driver, “Send Secretary Johnson back. I can go in by myself. There’s no need to follow me.”
“But Mr. Sawle, when I first came back, there were a few big thunders in the sky. It’s going to rain.”
“We have to walk quite a distance from the gate to the villa. Let me send you in.” Max couldn’t help but worry.
“No need.”
“My chest is a little stuffy. I want to walk alone. You can go back.” Joseph said with a cold expression.
“Yes… Mr. Sawle.” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Max was like a loyal dog, lying on the window of the car, staring at Joseph all the time until the car completely disappeared in the night.
Joseph took a deep breath, turned around and walked into the manor.
As a result, before he took two steps, a great thunder fell from the sky.
It rained.
By the time Joseph entered the villa, he had already been drenched from head to toe.
It was late autumn. The wind and rain hit him hard and scraped his face. It was cold and hard, but the depression in his heart was particularly clear.
“My God! Young Master! How, how did you get drenched like this Where is the driver? Where is Secretary Johnson?” Aunt Gill ran over in panic to greet him.
His face was pale and his wet black bangs covered his peach blossom eyes. His thin lips trembled slightly and his arms hanging by his side were still dripping with water.
It was as if he was a handsome sea god who had come ashore from the vast sea and transformed into a human.
“Aunt Gill…”
“Do you have wine? Lwant to drink a little.”
“You’re already drenched like this, yet you still want to drink? Are you crazy? I’m going to cook some ginger soup for you
now. Hurry up and go upstairs to change your clothes and take a hot bath. Go quickly!”
Aunt Gill was heartbroken. She turned around to prepare, but Joseph grabbed her.
“I just want to drink. Let me drink.”
“Young Master, what’s wrong with you?” Aunt Gill vaguely felt that something was wrong with him.
“I met Chloe tonight,” Joseph said with red eyes.
“Young Madam! You met Young Madam!”
Aunt Gill was originally quite happy, but his next sentence made her frown. “There is someone beside her.”
“Who?”
“She has a boyfriend.” A few short words came out of Joseph’s mouth, hoarse and fragmented.
“So fast. Sigh… But it’s normal. Young Madam is so outstanding. She is beautiful and has a good background. Even if she divorced, there is still a market for her. She doesn’t have to worry about getting married again.”
Marry again?
Joseph’s eyes were red as if they were about to bleed, and his heart was beating heavily, as if he was counting down.
“So, what you’re doing tonight, is it because Young Madam has a boyfriend?” Aunt Gill looked at him seriously.
“I don’t know…” The man shook his head in a daze.
“Sir, if you’re feeling upset because Madame originally gave her love to someone else, I advise you to quickly adjust your mindset and let go of any unease. It would be better for both you and Madame.”
“But if you genuinely desire Madame as a person, even though you’re separated now, it might not be too late for everything. However, I still hope that you can… come to terms with your own feelings and win Madame back.”
“Young Master, even if it is in the end, it will still be in vain. At the very least, you will not regret it after doing it. Aunt Gill placed her warm hands on Joseph’s wet shoulders, her gaze like a torch.
“Moreover, Young Madam was worth it.”
Come to terms with his own feelings?
Joseph kept shaking his head, denying something in his heart.
But every time he denied it, his heart would hurt a little.
Originally, after graduating from the Royal Academy of Music, Zoey was chosen to join the Royal Symphony Orchestra. But in the end, she gave up the quota and chose to return to Medo.
Medo was the economic center not the cultural center. There was the smell of money everywhere. The artistic atmosphere was far less dense than Puplen. It was not wise to come back.
However, she herself was calculating something that even Vincent did not know.
She learned from her big brother that Joseph and Grace had already irrevocably broken up, and it was the kind of break-up that could not be undone.
That was why her heart had risen from the ashes, and she hurriedly returned to Medo, preparing to carry out her great plan of securing a man!
Today, she had nothing to do, so Zoey invited Skyler to her home as a guest.
Second Miss was pampered, proud and arrogant, and proud of her beauty, so she basically looked down on all these Miss Brown in Medo’s circle.
But she was very close to Skyler alone, and there was only one reason – because she was Sawle Group’s precious daughter.
Sawle Group, she felt that only people from such a family were worthy of making friends with her.
“Oh, Sister Skyler, you look so beautiful today! And you brought a gift. You are so polite.”/
Zoey came to the door with a bright smile on her face, and the two held hands, seemingly a close friend.
“Zoey! I miss you so much! You’re even more beautiful than the last time I saw you!”
Skyler was full of praise, but she also had her own plans in her heart.
Vincent was famous for spoiling his sister like his life. If she could build a good relationship with this girl, then wouldn’t she have a reason to frequently visit Anderson family?
She could indirectly save the country, seize the opportunity to gain Madam Anderson’s favor, and then let Zoey blow the wind for Vincent, saying beautiful words. Then, wouldn’t it be just a matter of time before she became Anderson family’s eldest young master and grandmother?
Hahaha! She was really smart!
“Two days ago, I went to Europe to play and bought some hand gifts. Some for you and some for Madam Anderson. They are not very valuable things. Don’t dislike them.”
Zoey looked at the mountain of luxury boxes and smiled meaningfully. “Are there any gifts for my big brother?”
“Yes, yes, yes… It’s just that people are afraid that your big brother doesn’t like them and refuse…” Skyler blushed and lowered her head shyly.
“Yo yo yo, look —What kind of person would you like my big brother to be blushing like a peach just by mentioning it!”
“Leave it to me. As long as I give it to big brother, big brother will definitely accept it.” Zoey smiled.
“Then I really have to thank you, Zoey! I love you —” Skyler was overjoyed and quickly took out the gift she gave Vincent.
Zoey took the delicate box and opened it. It was made of platinum. The two ends were inlaid with sapphires. It was obvious that the price was expensive.
At this time, Vincent just came down from the European court style retrorotating stairs. He was wearing an SL purple high-set suit with a rose dark silk shirt inside. He was as handsome as ever.
Skyler looked up at the male god in her eyes in a daze. Her mouth was open with shame, almost drooling.
“Big brother —!” Zoey called him.
Vincent’s eyes were filled with adoration when he saw his younger sister smile, but when he saw Skyler, his phoenix eyes instantly turned cold and dark.
“Third Miss Sawle, why are you here?”
“I…L..” Skyler swallowed hard, instantly terrified.
“Big brother, I invited big sister Skyler to our house as a guest.”
“I have always had a good relationship with big sister Skyler. Don’t you know? She is my best friend in Medo.”
“Really? I really don’t know.”
Vincent narrowed his long and narrow eyes and said softly, “Zocy, big brother does not object to you making friends, but when you choose a friend, you must wipe your eyes.”
“Some friends are both good teachers and good friends; they can be a guiding light on your journey through life. But some friends are not in a positive frame of mind; they can only lead you astray.”
Zoey glanced at Skyler quietly. At this moment, Third Miss Sawle was so embarrassed that her face turned red.
“I know, big brother. I am twenty-two years old. Can’t I distinguish good people and bad people?”
“Big brother knows you haven’t been in Medo for a while. You don’t have many pals. If you’re keen to make some friends, big brother can take you to meet Thorp family’s eldest daughter, Chloe. You met her the other night – she’s a real looker.”
“It just so happens that she is an old acquaintance of your mentor, Christian. You must have a lot to talk about. You will definitely become friends soon.”
That beautiful woman? Friends?
Zoey sneered in her heart. What a joke. How could he become friends with a love rival?
Vincent walked to his sister and gently pinched her little face. Just as he was about to leave, Zoey took the opportunity to put the gift in his hand.
“Big brother, this is the gift that big sister Skyler picked for you from France far away. You have to take good care of my kind intentions.” Zoey blinked her innocent big eyes at him.
Vincent held the box and did not say anything. He walked away with his long legs.
“Look, what did I say? As long as it is from me, big brother will definitely accept it.” Zoey proudly placed her hands on her hips.
Skyler was so excited that tears were about to flow out of her eyes. She looked at Zoey emotionally.
Vincent walked out the door with a calm and handsome face.
He looked coldly at the exquisite box in his hand. He did not even have the desire to open it and wanted to throw it far away. At this time, he thought of his sister’s words. Seeing the secretary standing beside the car, he licked his upper jaw and threw the box to her.
The secretary hurriedly caught it and asked blankly, “Mr. Anderson, this is…”
“A gift for you.”
“But Mr. Anderson, this is a man’s acupuncture. I don’t even have a boyfriend, so I can’t use it.”
“Tsk, you
don’t have a boyfriend yet? You don’t even have a daddy? Or you can sell it!” Vincent glared at her in annoyance.
