Ch. 406..410: Stay Around You Now And Forever (Hunter Jackson) Chapter 406-410
Chapter 406: Believe It or Not, I’ll Kill You
"What are you talking about?"
Joseph's expression made Wendy even more certain that he really didn't know about this.
No wonder he said that he had feelings for Emily in front of the family.
Anyway, this misunderstanding helped Wendy a lot.
Today, she was sure that it became her leverage!
"Talia only has one daughter. It's either me or her."
Wendy brushed her long hair. She liked to be flirtatious among men.
Sadly, Joseph found her disgusting now.
"Emily is not Sawyer's granddaughter. None of you are."
Grim-faced, he snorted coldly, "Don't waste your time. I will definitely tell Grandpa about this. You can't cheat him out of his money!"
"How do you know that Emily isn't? Have you personally sent their samples for a DNA test?"
It was likely that Emily didn't know herself related to Sawyer.
Otherwise, last night, Emily and Joseph would have strongly denied what had happened between them.
This was way more serious than being drugged by someone in the family!
Joseph didn't explain last night, because he thought that it was not important at all.
"Did you not hear me just now, or did you not care?"
"Back then, when the DNA test came out, it indeed confirmed a girl to be the granddaughter of Sawyer."
"I went to the hospital, but it was just a formality. In fact, the blood that was sent in with Sawyer's blood sample was Emily's."
Wendy leaned back in her chair and looked at him. "If you don't believe me, you can ask Emily if someone hit her in the school one morning, and she bled."
The more Joseph knew, the more agitated he got.
Sure enough, he took out his phone and dialed Emily's number.
"Joseph, what's wrong? Did you go to the hospital?"
Emily sounded a little excited.
They agreed last night that he would bring Sawyer's and Wendy's hair to the hospital for a DNA test today.
Joseph tightened his grasp on his phone a bit.
"Joseph?" Emily was immediately on guard and asked, "Who are you? Why did
you take Joseph's phone?"
"Emi, it's me." Joseph's voice dispelled her worry.
"Joseph, how is it? Where are you now?"
"I'm outside." He forced himself to leave out the word 'hospital'.
He glanced at Wendy and then asked, "Emi, do you remember you got injured at school more than a month ago?"
Emily tried to recall.
She wasn't sure.
On second thought, she frowned and said, "Got shoved a bit... And I bled a little. Does that count?"
That was her only injury in school more than a month ago.
Earlier, she had been beaten up by someone.
That was two or three months ago.
Recent days were calm.noveldrama
"Joseph, what's wrong? Is there something wrong ..."
"No. Nothing, not a big deal."
Joseph felt desolate. He didn't know why Emily was sure that she was not Sawyer's granddaughter.
"Actually, if you want to know, you can take her to the hospital for the test later." Wendy listened happily.
After they hung up, Wendy smiled, "How is it? Don't you believe me?"
Joseph didn't say anything. He was used to incidents.
Even though he was shocked and it was unbelievable, he managed to calm himself down as soon as possible.
With her hands on the steering wheel, Wendy turned to look at him.
She smiled, "Are you thinking about exposing me first? That can be your priority.
You can explain this to Sawyer later.”
Joseph's expression did not change as he coldly looked at her.
She was right. That was his plan.
At least he could explain the rest to Sawyer later.
Joseph must tell Sawyer that Wendy was an imposter first.
However, since she was so bold to meet Joseph today, she must have some bargaining chips.
He wanted to know what made her so assertive.
"Cousin, I bet you came out in a hurry this morning and didn't have the time to watch the news."
"I mean, entertainment news."
With a gloomy expression, he checked his phone for the news.
His expression got gloomier. In the end, his face was ashen!
"Did you arrange it?"
Of course, he didn't see it in the morning, because he was never interested in tabloid tittle-tattle.
Now, it dominated the headlines and caused a sensation in the media.
Sawyer found his granddaughter, and Joseph, his eldest grandson, was engaged
to Emily, the daughter of Wendy's adopted parents.
Joseph and Emily were about to get closer by intermarriage!
It was Sawyer who told the reporters!
It was said that when Sawyer went out for breakfast today, he found himself
surrounded by a group of reporters.
Those reporters acted on a tip-off about Wendy and Emily.
Sawyer was so happy that he told them everything!
It was normal for reporters to get a tip-off about Wendy.
But any information about Emily and Joseph was unusual.
Joseph's fingertips stiffened. To him, Wendy was such a hateful woman!
However, he wondered how she managed to control those reporters while she was alone here.
"You... collude with Sasha?"
Wendy actually joined hands with Sasha.
"It's a dog-eat-dog world. I don't think there's anything wrong with Sasha."
Wendy smiled happily.
Sasha was smart. It was indeed a pleasant thing to work together with smart people.
"Look, you and Emily have everyone's blessing."
Emily's picture was clearly displayed in the headlines.
Joseph would marry Emily whom Wendy had taken for her younger sister for so
many years.
Even Sawyer and Sasha personally admitted the engagement.
In just an hour or two, everyone in business in City L knew about this.
"Cousin, if you tell Sawyer that Emily is his granddaughter now, do you think he ...
will get so angry that he drops dead?"
"You evil woman!"
Joseph pounced over and grabbed her neck.
He narrowed his eyes resentfully.
"Believe it or not, I'll kill you right away."
"Can you resolve this problem by killing me?"
He squeezed Wendy's neck so hard that she couldn't breathe at all.
However, she was not afraid at all and concluded that he would not kill her.
"I heard that Grandpa has heart disease. Although he looks healthy, in fact, any shock can be fatal for him."
Otherwise, the Gale family wouldn't have rushed to bring Wendy back.
Since her arrival, no one risked being rude to her.
Actually, they were all afraid that they would make Sawyer unhappy and thereby fall ill.
"He already announced your engagement. Imagine you kill me now, and later he knows that I'm a fake, you're the murderer, and his grandson will marry his real granddaughter. Do you think he will have a heart attack and die instantly?"
Chapter 407: Sooner or Later, They Will Respect Her
Wendy kept talking about Sawyer's death!
Even such vicious words made Joseph fell a burst of pain in his heart!
"Grandfather is a good man. Why would he become such a vicious liar's target?" he thought to himself.
However, Wendy's words caused him to loosen his grip.
No doubt, Sawyer had heart disease. Only a few people knew about this.
Wendy had lived in their house for more than a month and she must be acquainted with other family members.
Even if they didn't tell her, she would know about it anyway!
Moreover, she colluded with Sasha!
This family had been so harmonious, but because of Wendy, everything changed! Joseph really hated himself!
He couldn't believe that he had been so credulous that he actually believed this liar.
He blamed himself for not having a double check before recognizing her.
He didn't expect that the only DNA test had been tampered with beforehand!
How stupid he was!
"Cousin, don't blame yourself. Anyone else would be fooled by this kind of thing, right?"
No one had expected this. Joseph and his people thought their plan was perfect.
Joseph couldn't believe that the test was faked under his nose.
"Cousin, actually, I admire you. You're an excellent man of even temper. If it weren't for the fact that I like Hunter, I think I would have fallen in love with you."
"Shut up!" What a shameless and vicious woman!
Wendy put her hand on his wrist. Instead of pushing it away, she stroked it.
Joseph quickly withdrew his hand as if he was touched by a viper.
"What's wrong? Do you think I'm ugly?"
Wendy was a little angry. He was so protective of Emily when they were together.
When they arrived at the hall, he even hugged Emily gently!
In contrast, he didn't allow Wendy to touch him.
Joseph didn't want to waste his breath.
Right now, he was in a bad mood!
"Tell me, what exactly do you want?"
At this point, he couldn't tell his grandfather the truth at once, but it was
impossible for him to conceal it any longer.
Of course, Wendy understood that Joseph would take action soon.
Since the scam was given away, any attempt to stop Joseph from revealing it would be futile.
She gloated, "I don't want much. Five billion. You have more than that, don't you?" "No, I don't!"
Sawyer valued him the most, but over these years, Joseph was only Sawyer's good worker.
Joseph had never pursued his personal interests. He did have an equity interest, but if he didn't cash in, he could only receive a dividend every year.noveldrama
He didn't have a large sum.
"Cousin, don't hide it. The Gale Group gives you a handsome dividend every year. How can you not have 5 billion?"
Wendy naturally knew his financial situation.
"Even if there is a dividend, it is not a one-off payment. Moreover, the equity can't be cashed out immediately."
He wouldn't sell out the Group's equity!
"Two billion, that's my bottom line!" His face was ashen, as if there was no room for negotiation.
"Also, I need time."
"Alright, five days." Wendy stretched out her fair hand.
"Don't even think about bargaining. Five days are my limit! Two billion. Every penny!"
"If you can't give me two billion in five days, you may have come up with a way to deal with me. If that's the case, why don't I tell Sawyer about it first?”
"Don't act recklessly!" Joseph said anxiously.
"I have nothing to say, just five days!"
Wendy insisted.
Joseph cast a glance at her. Then pouting, he pushed open the car door.
He left. In other words, this agreement was reached.
Watching the receding figure, Wendy heaved a sigh of relief and then made a phone call.
"I gave him five days as you told me. However, I'm sure that Joseph won't give me the money."
The person on the other end of the phone didn't answer for a moment and then said, “Joseph never compromises easily. He will definitely use these five days to think of a way to make Sawyer accept all."
The banquet would be held tomorrow. Once it went smoothly, Joseph would find it even harder to appease Sawyer.
Then it would be tricky to pacify the entire business community of City L.
The man thought for seconds and continued, "He agreed on five days. He just wanted to find a way to ease the tension."
He lowered his voice. "Today, you have to get Sawyer to transfer the shares to you."
"But when I mentioned it to him last time, I could clearly feel that Sawyer turned a little cold to me."
As long as Hunter wasn't around, Wendy could get ahold of herself and react quickly.
Last time, Wendy gave so many excuses to persuade Sawyer to give her an equity on Monday. That made Sawyer's liking for her diminish by a lot.
She could feel it, but she had to ask Sawyer for that. She was afraid that things went awry if she delayed.
Sawyer already agreed to give her the equity on Monday. If she pestered him again today, Sawyer would be suspicious.
"The reason he dotes on me so much now is that he feels too guilty about Harley.
In fact, Sawyer doesn't care as much about me as everyone thinks."
She knew it herself that Sawyer liked Emily more.
Every time Emily appeared, his eyes were always fixed on Emily.
To him, any eye contact with Wendy was just courtesy!
Wendy thought Sawyer was a living example of the saying that blood was thicker
than water.
How ridiculous!
"I don't care what tricks you play. You must make Sawyer transfer it to you today. Otherwise, you will definitely lose to Joseph!"
With a beep, the man hung up!
Wendy stared at the gradually dimming screen of her phone with a face full of resentment.
Every time he hung up at will. He didn't even show the slightest bit of respect to
her.
In fact, she was no longer the Wendy who had had no status.
Now, she was a Gale!
“It's a high status. Isn't it enough for people to look up to her?" she asked herself.
Others still treated her so badly, bossing her around!
Wendy couldn't stand it!
Sooner or later, she must let them know that she was no longer the girl they could
control easily!
She was so angry that she wanted to throw her phone away.
Unexpectedly, the screen lit up.
Wendy's eyes brightened and her spirits rose, when she saw the caller ID.
She quickly picked up and said gently, "Hunter ...”
...
As expected, Joseph didn't wait around.
And he knew that the people behind Wendy would not let her wait quietly for five
days.
Although Joseph didn't know who they were, he was certain that she wasn't alone and she couldn't manage all of this by herself.
"Find out who Wendy is in close contact with. Also, from now on, keep an eye on Wendy."
After he hung up, another call came and his serious face was gone.
He answered. “Emily, where are you now? I want to see you."
Chapter 408: What If It’s Real
Joseph had always felt that Emily was rather amiable.
However, it was different this time.
Seeing her at that moment, Joseph deeply felt the ties of kinship between them.
No wonder he always had a kind feeling towards her. It turned out that it was because she was his biological cousin.
"Joseph, how is it? Did you go to the hospital this morning?"
Emily came out in a hurry. Fortunately, Hunter was not here today, so she could be free to do anything.
Joseph suddenly pulled her over and hugged her in his arms.
"Joseph..." Emily was confused.
But being hugged by him like this, she didn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable.
He was very calm. As an introverted person, he seldom revealed a trace of true feelings. But, this time he did and it wasn't disgusting.
On the contrary, it made her feel inexplicably at ease.
She felt that she should have been close to him.
Even Emily didn't know when she started to feel like this.
"Joseph? What's wrong?"
He had hugged her for a long time. Emily frowned and was a little puzzled.
"Is there... something unhappy?"
"Don't you hate me?" Joseph finally released her.
Looking down at the girl in his arms, he sighed silently.
She was his cousin. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her.
However, she did not know their relationship after all. After hugging for a long
time, he was afraid that she would get angry.
Emily shook her head and looked at him with a worried expression.
"Joseph, has anything happened?"
His worried expression made her feel anxious.
"If only you really were my cousin."
He hadn't decided whether to tell Emily about it.
After all, she had said that she had done a paternity test with grandfather, and the two of them had no blood relationship.
The safest way was for him to give them another test. When he got the report, he would explain it to her.
He believed that there must be something wrong with the test Emily and grandpa did last time.
Perhaps, Wendy had asked someone to tamper with it, so even Emily didn't know that she was Sawyer's biological granddaughter.
Hearing what he said, Emily's eyes darkened.
She did want to be his cousin and Sawyer's granddaughter.
This family, these people, could really make her feel at home.
In this lifetime, other than Matriarch Jackson and her grandmother, no one else had ever given her such a feeling of warmth.
When Joseph saw the gloominess in her eyes, he smiled and said, "If you were really my cousin, what would you do?"
"What can I do? Of course, I'll call you big cousin."
Emily smiled helplessly and retreated from his embrace. She stared at his face seriously.
"What's wrong? Didn't you go to test the blood relationship of Wendy and Grandpa Sawyer this morning? What's the result?"
"We haven't got the results yet. It'll take four hours."noveldrama
However, that report was meaningless to Joseph.
Emily did not ask further. She felt that something was wrong with Joseph today.
However, no matter what he was thinking, Emily believed that he had no malice towards her at all.
"Since you came to City L, it seems that you haven't looked around. How about I take you around?"
“The Gale family is hosting a banquet tomorrow. Don't you need to prepare something?"
He was the eldest grandson of the Gales. Wendy's return couldn't even change his position in the Gale family.
The Gale family would have an important banquet, so he should help to organize
it.
"I wonder if this banquet can be held."
Joseph's words made Emily purse her lips without saying anything else.
Although the report was not yet available, she could feel that Joseph believed her. This was enough.
Just as the two of them got into the car, Joseph's phone rang.
He immediately answered the phone.
"... Hunter?" Joseph frowned. He didn't expect that Wendy left the hospital and went to see Hunter.
"It may not have anything to do with him. Follow her first and see what happens." After hanging up, he dialed another number.
"Milo, there are some things. You must help me now. Please don't ask why. I'll tell you later."
"What is it?" Milo rarely heard Joseph speak to him in such a serious tone. Through the line, Milo could feel the seriousness of the matter.
"Today, you must stop Grandfather from going to the company and seeing the lawyer. Milo, I can't explain to you right now, but you must listen to me."
Milo did not ask any further.
He had known Joseph since he was a little child, so he believed him.
"Alright, I see. Today, I will let Sawyer have a carefree day."
"Thank you."
Joseph hung up the phone and saw Emily staring at him with a puzzled expression.
He said indifferently, "There are some things that I am gathering evidence for. I cannot tell too many people for the time being."
"But, the banquet is to be held tomorrow ..." She knew vaguely what kind of evidence he wanted to gather.
"It doesn't matter. It won't affect our trip."
He had already instructed some people to help him, and now, he could only wait.
As for Emily, he really wanted to walk around with her.
It had nothing to do with anything else. It was just because he felt sorry for this
girl.
Joseph reached out and touched her long hair.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of it. Enjoy your time. You don't have to worry about anything."
Joseph was really doting on her today. He behaved like her big cousin.
Emily exhaled before nodding.
"Then I won't ask. I think ..."
Her face suddenly changed. She covered her lips with her hands, and her brows were filled with discomfort.
"Emily, what's wrong?" Joseph was worried.
"I... Uh..."
Emily could not continue. She suddenly pushed open the car door and got off the
car.
Joseph chased after her and saw her running to a nearby trash can and retching.
"What's going on? Is there anything wrong?"
He patted her carefully on the back. When she got better and stopped retching,
he asked, "Is anything wrong with your stomach? The hospital is nearby. I'll take you there."
Emily shook her head. It wasn't because of stomach distress. She ... she
suspected that she was pregnant...
However, this idea was simply too terrifying!
If this was true, what would she do?
It was impossible for her and Hunter to be together!
"But I have to take you to the doctor."
If she was sick, she must get prompt treatment.
“Joseph, I... I don't want to go." She was afraid that the doctor would tell her that
she was pregnant, which worried her the most.
"No, Emily. Illness shouldn't be ignored. Don't be willful. I'll take you to the
hospital. It'll be fine soon."
"But, I don't want to ..."
Before Emily could finish her sentence, she felt a wave of nausea.
She couldn't hold it back, turned around and started to retch again.
Chapter 409: The Most Common Behavior Between Lovers
Emily was pregnant.
The moment the report was available, Emily almost collapsed!
Joseph held the report with mixed emotions.
No wonder the doctor looked at them with such a curious gaze just now and even said that they should go to the obstetrics and gynecology department.
So it turned out that a girl's retching was a revelation of her pregnancy! What was said on TV was true.
He thought that she had an upset stomach.
Emily didn't know how to face all of this.
She was really pregnant. And what should she do?
She turned around and was about to leave the hospital.
Joseph followed behind her and carefully pulled her. "Don't run around. You have to be careful now."
"I'm fine." She just didn't want to stay here for a moment.
"Emily..." Joseph hesitated and didn't dare to ask further.
She didn't seem to be in a good mood. It seemed that she didn't want to be pregnant.
The child's father ...
"It's Young Master Hunter." She knew even if she didn't say anything, Joseph would send people to investigate.
Since that was the case, why bother?
Emily broke away from him and walked to the stairwell. She sat down on the ground, her entire body cold.
"It is cold. Don't sit here. It will freeze you."
But she didn't listen.
Joseph held her shoulders and said, "Emily. Let's go back to the car and talk, shall we?"
Emily was a little overwhelmed. Finally, with his help, she arrived at the garage and got in the car.
"Does Young Master Hunter love you?" He did not forget that Hunter was with Wendy at the Gale's yesterday.
"Is he playing with you?"
What he said was somewhat rude. But Emily was pregnant now, he had to figure it out.
He couldn't allow Emily to be bullied by a man for no reason!
"I don't know. I... I don't want to say. Joseph, I won't be with him. That's all."
"What about the child?" Joseph didn't want to make her uncomfortable, but this matter would hurt her for sure.
Hunter and Emily had been in a relationship, but he was still seeing Wendy. As a result, Joseph couldn't trust him and let Emily be with him.
"Don't you want this baby?"
"I want it!" Emily was a little excited!
Her hands were protecting her stomach, as if she was afraid that someone would hurt her baby!
"I want my baby... I want."
But what qualifications did she have to bring this baby into the world?
Born out of wedlock, this baby had to endure a lot of pressure in this world.
However, she had already lost a child. And her little angel was finally willing to return, so she could not let him disappear from her life.
"I don't know what to do. Joseph, I'm sorry. Give me some time to calm down."
"Even if you calm down, what can you do next?"
It couldn't be solved only with time.
"Do you love Hunter?" Joseph stared at her with a serious gaze, as if he didn't
allow her to conceal anything at all.
Emily lowered her eyes.
It didn't matter whether she loved him or not now.
It was impossible for Hunter to be with her.noveldrama
There was only the simplest relationship between them. In other words, they were
tied only by an agreement.
He had made his attitude clear last night.
Right now, the person he wanted was Wendy.
"What kind of woman do you think Young Master Hunter would choose to be his partner?"
She smiled faintly. No, she smiled bitterly. She smiled extremely helplessly.
"The fact whether I love him makes no difference to this matter."
"What if you are one of the Gale family?"
"If Young Master Hunter is willing to stay with me because I have such a distinguished status, then this kind of love wouldn't deserve any of my attention." Joseph was unable to refute what Emily said.
For a man in a business world, women were sometimes not as important as a project.
Marriage, most of the time, was only for the benefit of both parties.
Hunter's marriage to the young miss of the Gales was a good thing for both families.
But for the married couple themselves, there really wasn't much to look forward
to.
Especially for girls like Emily, who valued their feelings more than their benefits. Believing in love was a mistake in itself.
This was a lesson that people like them who were born in wealthy families had been taught all along.
A man like Hunter had been taught to treat love as rubbish from the very beginning.
He would not be serious about women.
Emily or Wendy, in the end, was all the same.
Joseph was silent. He held Emily's hand, not knowing what to say to comfort her.
"Joseph, I don't want anyone to know about this."
Emily grabbed his sleeve and pleaded, "Don't tell anyone, including Hunter."
"But your stomach ..."
Joseph's gaze fell on her lower abdomen.
Emily understood what he meant.
Pregnancy was something that could not be concealed.
When her stomach grew bigger, everyone could see it.
Her hand once again landed on her lower abdomen and gently stroked it.
Her angel had actually returned.
Last time, she wasn't in good condition, and the situation did not permit. As a result, she had a miscarriage.
This time, she had got ready, but the baby's father didn't want him anymore ... "Give me more time. I need to think about the future."
"Emily, actually..."
Joseph lowered his eyes and stared at her stomach.
He bit back some words he would like to have said.
He needed some more time to deal with the matter and get the test report. It wouldn't be too late.
The phone rang again. He picked up the phone and said, "How is it? Did you get
it?"
On the other end of the phone, the assistant was a little anxious, "Sawyer has got out. Even Milo doesn't know where he went."
"Got out?" Joseph frowned, "Hasn't he returned yet?"
In the morning, Sawyer and Sasha went out together. Logically speaking, by this time, they should have already returned.
"He returned once. Afterwards, he went out again and didn't bring Milo with him." "Send someone to look for him immediately!"
After hanging up, he immediately dialed someone else, "Is there anything wrong with Wendy?"
"No, she's still with Young Master Hunter. It seems like they are looking at
jewelry."
Although he didn't use the loudspeaker, it was so quiet in the car that even Emily
could hear what his subordinates were saying.
Young Master Hunter and Wendy were shopping in the jewelry store.
She became more disappointed.
Joseph hung up the phone after instructing people to keep an eye on them.
He wanted to call Milo, but he felt the disappointment of the girl beside him.
He didn't know how to console her.
Hunter and Wendy were shopping in the jewelry store, which was the most common behavior between lovers.
But, lover...
"Perhaps, he only took a fancy to Wendy's identity. This doesn't mean that he
likes Wendy."
"Is there a difference?" Emily leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, "Joseph, I'm a little tired today. I want to go back."
Joseph wanted to say something, but at this moment, it seemed that nothing could relieve her depression.
Whoever started the trouble should end it. He was not Hunter, so he could not
comfort her.
However, Hunter probably didn't have the intention to comfort her at all.
"Alright, I'll take you back."
He had to hurry back and see where his grandfather had gone.
He drove out of the parking garage of the hospital. But the car was blocked by a
group of people the moment it came out.00☐☐☐☐☐
Chapter 410: It Was Wrong from the Beginning
It was a group of reporters blocking the way.
The exit of the garage was blocked completely, and Joseph's car could not move at all.
The security guards of the hospital came to drive them away but failed because there were too many people.
A security guard came to Joseph's car and knocked on the door.
Joseph winded down the window.
Before the security guard could speak, a swarm of reporters rushed over.
"Joseph, is that your girlfriend in the car?"
"Sawyer has already admitted your relationship. May I ask when you plan to marry Emily?"
"Joseph, I heard that your girlfriend is the younger sister of Wendy whom the Gale family has just recognized. You guys have a closer relationship."
"Joseph, why did you bring your girlfriend to the hospital today? Is it a good thing?"
"Is Emily pregnant?"
Emily hid in the car and raised her hands to cover her face.
However, these reporters kept shooting with cameras from different angles and different positions.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop them at all.
"Sorry, no comment!" Joseph winded up the window with a cold face.
He still couldn't find a way to drive out.
He called his assistant and instructed in a deep voice, "I was blocked by reporters
at the hospital. Come to evacuate them. And let someone alter the records of Emily's medical examination and change it to gastroenteritis."
"Yes!"
The assistant answered and immediately called for help.
However, it would take time for someone to come over.
They were stuck here, and the cars behind them could not leave at all.
The situation was getting worse and worse.
People had known that it was Joseph and his girlfriend, but they didn't dare to knock on the door and urge them to leave.
Moreover, even if they came to urge them, it would be useless.
With the help of security guards of the hospital, some of the reporters left, but there were still many reporters here.
"It must be Wendy." Joseph pursed his lips with a cold expression.
Since that woman had been in City L for such a short time, how could she become so powerful?
Who was behind her?
Could it be that it was arranged by my aunt? What good could she get from this?noveldrama
"Joseph, I'm afraid these reporters won't leave if they don't get their needed information."
"Why don't you just tell them we're in love? After a while, I'll ..." Emily turned her head to look at him.
"No!" Joseph immediately interrupted her.
Last night, he didn't know Emily's identity, but now, he knew.
If this matter continued, how were they going to deal with it in the future?
Even if it could be explained clearly, people would consider behind their backs that they were in an improper relationship.
As a man, it mattered little to him, but Emily needed to get married in the future. Such a rumor would ruin her life!
Joseph regretted that he took into account the so-called overall situation and didn't point out the matter of being drugged last night.
He thought that it was not too late to investigate the matter of being drugged.
Unexpectedly, they had already thought of a series of conspiracies.
Early in the morning, she intentionally took his grandfather out and ran into reporters, encouraging his grandfather to admit their love.
Now that the matter went public, it was very difficult for them to make it clear!
Wendy couldn't come up with the plot only by herself.
Behind her, there must be someone guiding her.
He just didn't know what kind of role Sasha had played in this matter.
Did she already know that Wendy was not a real Gale, or was she involved in this scam?
"Emily, no matter who asks you, you shouldn't pretend to be in love with me anymore. Absolutely not, you know?"
He turned his head to look at Emily with a serious expression.
Emily did not know why he became so strict. Even if they admitted their
relationship, they could say that they had broken up because of personality
clashes after some time. It was actually nothing.
What he said made her feel that as long as she admitted it, she would sink into a helpless abyss.
"Do you understand?" Seeing that she hadn't answered him, Joseph said with emphasis.
Emily was shocked and hurriedly said, "I, I understand."
Joseph was afraid that he would frighten her, so his heart softened and said in a gentle voice.
"It's fine. Don't be afraid. I'll take care of it."
"Is there something I don't know?" Emily felt that he was hiding something from her.
"Joseph, what exactly happened?"
"Give me more time and I'll tell you."
At the very least, he would wait until he had done the paternity test for them and received the report.
Everything about this matter was just unproven news.
Wendy's words could not be completely believed. But what if Emily was lying to him as well? What if she was not his cousin at all?
This time, he couldn't let down his guard. Everything had to be verified by him.
"I've already sent someone over. Soon, someone will come to help us. Don't worry."
Joseph's words calmed Emily's heart.
At the front, the security guards of the hospital were also trying to evacuate the reporters.
Actually, they wouldn't be able to stay here for too long. If they continued, the people from the hospital would call the police.
When the police arrived, everyone must leave.
She took out her phone and casually scanned it.
She was shocked by the headlines today!
“Grandpa Gale ... what's going on?" She held her phone and looked at Joseph,
"Joseph, Grandpa Gale and your aunt, they said ..."
"I know." He could tell at a glance that she didn't like to read the news.
Otherwise, she would have seen this big news long ago.
"Grandpa must have been encouraged by my aunt to say so. Of course, there's another reason ..."
He was clear about the character of his old naughty grandfather.
"What's the reason?" Emily didn't know Grandpa Gale very well.
Joseph exhaled a sigh of relief. It was because of Grandfather's persistence towards Emily.
“Another reason is that Grandpa likes you too much and wants to keep you at our family."
"He..."
"He's forcing me to admit my relationship with you. He's forcing me to get engaged to you for the sake of the Gale Group's reputation."
This was his grandfather's style of handling things. He wanted to keep Emily here,
regardless of whether Joseph wanted to marry her or not.
After all, in Grandfather's eyes, he and Emily had already made love.
If he didn't marry her, what would Emily do in the future?
On the one hand, Grandfather felt sorry for Emily. On the other hand, he was also
reluctant to let her go.
Therefore, he used the media's evaluation on the Gale Group to force him to marry Emily, which answered multiple purpose.
If there weren't so many unavoidable things, or if Emily liked him and they didn't
have any kinship, he would get engaged to Emily for the sake of the Gale family's
reputation.
Then they would get married.
After all, he didn't hate Emily.
Grandfather was right to take this step.
However, the most important thing now was that Grandfather didn't know that he
and Emily were cousins!
It had been wrong from the very beginning!
More than twenty cars suddenly arrived in front of them.
Hundreds of people in black suits got out of the car and rushed into the reporters
at the fastest speed, blocking the reporters and opening a path for Joseph's car.
"Don't think too much. I'll take you back to rest." Joseph's face was serious as he stepped on the accelerator.☐☐☐☐
