Chapter 168

Tidied Her Hair

Molly snorted at Fiona and carried the wooden basin into the

house.

Right then, a black luxury car slowly drove over.

Fiona recognized at a glance that it was the car Joseph used most frequently. She tidied her hair and stood in front of the car. Biting her lips, she cried out pitifully, "Joseph..."

Culver had no choice but to stop the car. He looked back at Joseph and said, "Mr. Joseph, it's Miss Melling."

Why was she there?

Joseph frowned. There was a hint of indifference and impatience on his face.

"Let's get out of the car."

Culver immediately got out of the car and opened the door. He said respectfully, "Slowly, Mr. Joseph."

Seeing that Joseph had gotten out of the car for her, Fiona's emotions rose and fell. Her eyes were filled with affection. However, it hadn't been long since she had gone abroad. While she had been thinking about him day and night, he had written a marriage contract for another woman and put a ring on her finger

Fiona's heart ached, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She wanted to say something, but changed her mind and called out, "Josh..."noveldrama

Joseph had raised his head to look at Fiona. His voice was still gentle and pleasant to the ear, but there was a hint of coldness in it. "What is it?"

The man in front of her had a delicate face that was meticulously carved with a sharp jawline. His deep eyes were beautiful and charming. The corners of his thin lips were curved into a faint smile. On the surface, he seemed concerned, but he couldn't have been more unfeeling.

Fiona bit his lip and woefully lamented, "Josh, I came to you as soon as I returned to Shein City. I didn't expect to bump into Miss Jules at the door. She got someone to pour water used to wash someone's feet on me because of a single

disagreement. She also said that she had firmly secured her position as the young madam of the Collins family because she wanted the family's power..."

She added, "Josh, a rude and unreasonable woman like her doesn't deserve you at all. If you're going marry her, it's the same as marrying a burden..." Fiona's tone was sincere, but she never mentioned how she

had tried to humiliate Lucille.

Joseph caught the key point in her words. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you just say that my wife got someone to splash water on you?" "Yes..." Fiona nodded, tears welling up in her eyes.

Although she was extremely jealous that Joseph had called Lucille his wife, a hint of joy still flashed across Fiona's heart

when he heard his words.

She knew that Joseph would never fall for a vulgar woman like Lucille!

However, Joseph proceeded to glance at her in a casual

manner and then replied without any pity.

"No wonder you smell so bad, Miss Melling. Why are you still loitering around? Are you trying to kill someone?"

There was dead silence all around.

Fiona's face instantly turned pale. She had desperately tried to hide her emotions in her heart, but in the face of Joseph's indifferent and cold gaze, it felt as if she had gotten a basin of ice-cold water poured on her head, causing all of her remaining dignity to vanish. Behind him, Culver had no expression. It was obvious that he was not surprised at all.

Everyone in Shein City knew that Joseph was not interested in women, and he had no patience with them. His words were mean and vicious. That was all common knowledge, so there was no need to make a big deal out of it.

Culver had been by Joseph's side for ten years and knew that the only woman he cared about was Lucille.

Having suffered such a blow, Fiona's soaked body began to

tremble.

'Josh..."

Fiona softly called his name and then staggered forward. She

looked as if she might faint at any moment.

Joseph had no intention of showing her any pity at all. Not only did he take a step back, but he also gave her a chilling

reminder. "We're not close, Miss Melling."

Fiona bit her lip and had no choice but to correct herself. "Mr. Joseph... I'm very cold. Can you let me go to your house to change my clothes first? Don't worry, I'll leave soon..."

She was strategically backing off and also setting up a honey trap.

Fiona was full of confidence. She was recognized as the most beautiful woman in Shein City. There were countless people pursuing her. No matter how indifferent Joseph was he would not embarrass her too much for the sake of the long-lasting friendship between their families.

On top of that, she was very confident in her own beauty.

She refused to believe that Joseph would still remain unmoved even when she was deliberately flirting with him...
