348 Lucky Maple Leaf

Joey said, “Did you see that? Isabella woke up. I knew she was pretending to be unconscious. Isabella fainted too abruptly just now. She is not good at acting. In the future, no matter which young master Isabella marries, she has to improve her acting skills. Otherwise, she can’t compete with other women.”

Peter asked, “Gerry, do you need a cigarette? Don’t be so expressionless!”

Gerry answered quietly, “No need. I have to keep an eye on them. I don’t want to see them die in front of me.”

Peter slapped his forehead and said, “That makes sense. This isn’t a boxing ring. Do we need to call an ambulance in advance? Mr. Joseph is the only heir of the Stretton family!”

But Gerry said, “No need. I’ve already called Doctor Morris. He is eating snacks in the car. He is on standby.”

Hearing Gerry’s words, Peter said, “Gerry ... You are really considerate. It seems that Mr. Joseph has caused a lot of trouble before.”

Gerry didn’t reply.

Isabella had waited for three minutes, but no one cared about her. Thus, Isabella got up speechlessly, patted the dust off her body, and turned around to leave.

Cedric was the first to see Isabella’s move and yelled at her, “Isabella!”

.....

Then, Joseph punched Cedric in the eye.

Joseph looked at Isabella and shouted, “Isabella, where are you going?”

But the next second, Cedric punched Joseph’s cheekbone.

Isabella shrugged and rolled her eyes. She said, “It’s getting boring, and I’ve had enough. You two continue. Call me to inform me of the results. I’ll take the fruits to see you in the hospital. You two can keep ignoring me and fighting against each other!”

Cedric hurriedly chased after Isabella and yelled, “Isabella! I can explain!”

“Don’t touch her!” Joseph stopped Cedric. Then, he said to Gerry, “Gerry, tie Isabella up and bring her back to the manor!”

Gerry stood up and replied calmly, “Yes, Mr. Joseph.”

Cedric immediately ordered, “Peter! Joey! Stop Gerry!”

Peter and Joey also stood up and said calmly, “OK.”

Somehow, Joseph and Cedric felt speechless about their subordinates’ calmness.

Gerry, Peter, and Joey walked to Isabella.

Isabella looked at Joseph and Cedric, who were pulling each other away from her. She made a fierce expression and warned Gerry, Peter, and Joey, “Don’t come closer! Otherwise, I will...”

Isabella made a gesture of cutting her neck. Then, Isabella’s hands clawed the air, and she said, “I will scratch your faces!”

Joseph knew Isabella meant it, and he immediately covered his face. But Cedric didn’t know it. Cedric wanted to continue to move forward, but he was stopped by Joseph again.

Seeing this scene, Isabella shook her head resignedly, turned around, and left.

On the way to the bus stop, Isabella lowered her head and sighed continuously. She felt complicated in her heart. Suddenly, Isabella bumped into a person.

As a result, the books in that person’s arms fell to the ground.

Isabella immediately squatted down to help that person pick up the books. She apologized, “I’m sorry! I was a little distracted just now and didn’t see you! I’m sorry!”

Isabella picked up the books and stood up. But when Isabella handed the books to that person, she was stunned.

The young boy in front of Isabella had a pair of beautiful dark blue eyes that were clear and deep.

The bridge of the boy’s nose was high, and his skin was white. His facial features were more sculptured than that of ordinary people.

Isabella thought this young boy should be mixed-race.

He was very handsome.

“It’s OK.” The young boy smiled brightly.

The young boy took his books from Isabella’s hands and said, “Miss, you must have encountered something sad. You have to be careful when walking on the road.”

Isabella suddenly remembered that there were tears on her face. She hurriedly wiped the tears away and said, “Thank you.”

Then, Isabella heard the young boy say, “Here you are.”

The young boy took out an exquisite bookmark made of a red maple leaf from his book and handed it to Isabella. He explained, “I made it myself.”

Isabella hurriedly waved her hand and said, “Thank you, mate. But I...”

“It’s fine. It’s not something valuable.”

The boy smiled brightly and stuffed the bookmark into Isabella’s arms. Then, he said to Isabella, “It can bring you good luck. You won’t have anything to worry about in the future.”

Isabella looked at the boy’s warm and clean smile. She smiled and nodded sincerely, “Thank you.”

The boy said, “Goodbye then.”

Isabella replied, “Goodbye.”

Isabella looked at the back of the boy as he left, and she calmed down a little. The kindness from a stranger made Isabella feel much better.

The fight between Joseph and Cedric ended because Isabella went to Jane’s apartment to ask for shelter. Thus, neither Joseph nor Cedric won.

“Wow, you quarreled with your man!” Jane looked at Isabella.

Jane was in high spirits and kept saying, “Do you think your man is a scumbag. Did he ever scold or hit you? You said you wanted to marry him. Do you regret it now?”

Isabella was cooking in the kitchen and frowned when she heard this.

Isabella thought Cedric was warm and gentle. Joseph was straightforward, and he would sometimes act like a lecher. However, Isabella couldn’t tell which of them she favored for the moment.

Joseph cheated on Isabella, and he didn’t care about Isabella at all. Isabella was hurt in her heart by Joseph. However, Isabella still had feelings for Joseph. On the other hand, although Cedric was a gentleman and was someone that Isabella knew when she was a child, Isabella didn’t know much about Cedric. Isabella and Cedric had only been together for a few days. In fact, Isabella couldn’t say that she had romantic feelings for Cedric.

Being torn between Joseph and Cedric, Isabella thought she was really a fickle woman.

Isabella said to Jane with a frown, “Can we change the topic? I don’t want to talk about it now.”

“Alright! Alright! Alright! If you’re willing to cook for me, you can say whatever you want to say,” Jane said.

Then, Jane changed the topic and said excitedly, “The graduation ball will be held the day after tomorrow. Have you decided on your dance partner?”

Isabella was stunned.

Isabella forgot the graduation ball at all. Isabella had invited Joseph to the graduation ball before because Joseph was Isabella’s fiancé at that time. But now, Isabella felt it was embarrassing.

Isabella did not know how to answer, so she asked back, “Have you decided on your dance partner?”

Jane answered, “Of course.”

“Who?” Isabella smiled and asked, “Which boyfriend of yours? Have I met him before?”

Jane turned her eyes and said, “You’ve seen him before. But he is not my boyfriend yet.”

Isabella was stunned and was slightly surprised. She said, “You’ve already invited him to a ball. Why do you say that he is not your boyfriend? You scared me, Jane. It doesn’t sound like something you would do.”

Then, Isabella asked with a smirk, “Is him your true love?”

Jane flicked her fingernails and placed one of her legs on the coffee table. She put on her black silk stockings and said, “True love? Well. It’s a bit difficult. I haven’t taken him down yet.”

“Wow!” Isabella was surprised.

“Difficult?” Isabella raised her eyebrows.

Jane said, “Yes, he is the smartest person I have ever met.”

Jane pursed her lips and clenched her fists, looking determined to win. She said firmly, “But don’t worry. I believe I can take him down during this ball!”

Isabella looked at Jane’s serious expression and couldn’t help asking, “Since I’ve seen him before, who is he?”

Just as Isabella finished asking, someone knocked on the door. Jane said excitedly, “Speak of the devil!”

Isabella was stunned and immediately asked, “Jane! Didn’t you say that you don’t have a date with a boyfriend tonight?”
