Dressed Upnoveldrama
Meanwhile, in the Jules family's villa...
Howard was sitting at the dining table, drinking coffee and reading the
newspaper.
It was the weekend, so he didn't have to go to work.
Zoey came down from upstairs and greeted him with a smile. "Good morning, Dad."
Howard glanced at her and said with a doting look in his eyes, "Why are you so dressed up today?"
From the side, Charles quickly added, "Dad, how could you say that? When is Zoey not pretty? Am I right?"
"Charles!"
Zoey stamped her feet with a shy look on her face. "You and Dad are the same. You two only know how to tease me!"
"We're just telling the truth," Charles replied with a grin. After that, he nudged Bernard, who was sitting at the dining table and eating quietly. You be the judge, Bernard. Am I right?" Bernard raised his head and looked at him calmly.
His aura was somewhat oppressive.
No one was allowed to breach his space. He seemed cold and aloof.
Charles scratched his nose and backed off with an embarrassed smile. Just continue eating, Bernard. I won't disturb you anymore..."
Bernard put down the knife and fork in his hand with a poker face and
flatly stated, "I'm done. You can do whatever you want." flatly stated, "I'm done. You can
After that, he picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, creating an insurmountable distance between them.

Dressed Up
Charles didn't dare to provoke him at all. He simply looked at Zoey and
asked, "It's the weekend, Zoey. Do you have any plans? Where do you want to go? I'll be your bodyguard!"
Lucille giggled.
The atmosphere in the villa was particularly harmonious.
However, at that moment, a servant rushed over and reported, "Mr. Yoshua is back, Mr. Jules!"
"Really?"
Howard was rather surprised, but that barely lasted for two seconds before he heard the servant hesitantly say, "He also brought the fifth miss with him..."
Upon hearing that, Howard's face suddenly darkened.
"That b*stard!"
Speak of the devil, and he would come.
Yoshua's frivolous voice was heard from the entrance.
"Oh, it's looks like everyone's here."
He pulled Lucille into the villa. It was as if he didn't see Howard's gloomy face. He simply stared at the servant from earlier and corrected her. "What do you mean, the fifth miss? There are only four children in the Jules. family. She's the fourth miss." "As for this outsider..." Yoshua grinned flippantly as he glanced at Lucille. His tone suddenly became icy. "Isn't it about time for you to go back to where you came from?"
No one expected Yoshua to attack Zoey the moment he came back.
Charles couldn't stand it anymore. He immediately stood in front of Zoey and asked, "There's no need to bully Zoey just because you want to protect Lucille, is there? She's your sister, too!"
"I told you, I only have one sister!" Yoshua retorted.
Dreused Lip
His expression was frigid as he slowly walked forward.
Charles held his head high and puffed out his chest, refusing to back down. "You're protecting Lucille, so I have to protect Zoey."
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
"I guess you want to be the brother of some stranger, do you, Charles?" The corner of Yoshua's mouth twitched. He reached out and patted Charles' shoulder. Then, without saying anything, he waved his fist and said, "You have a sister to protect? Well, I do, too!" Bang!
He landed one punch after another.
Charles was beaten so hard that he had no strength to fight back. Soon, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Even his nose was
bleeding. He was in a very shameful state.
Zoey shrieked. She looked at Howard and cried, "Dad, Dad, you have to stop him. Carles is going to be beaten to death!"
"Stop, you b*stard! Hold it right there!"
Howard slammed the table forcefully.
