Chapter 50 Turn the Phone On
“Why are you getting mad at Gloria, honey?” Sara said as she walked down the stairs and stood on the last step, holding on to the railing with one hand as she looked at the few of them.
She then glanced coldly at Jocelyn and quickly walked to Allen’s side, sitting on the arm of the sofa, and said, “Is it because many people have returned the houses of the Faraday Apartments, and because Jocelyn didn’t handle the matter, so you’re in a bad mood?”
Allen, however, did not say a word, but only had a gloomy face, his gaze looking forward angrily.
If his eyes could kill, Gloria thought she would die in place.
Seeing this reaction of Allen, Sara subconsciously confirmed her judgment, there was only this matter to make him so angry,.
But why should he take it out on his daughter? It was clearly Jocelyn who should take the blame.
“Jocelyn, since you are not capable of handling all this, why did you take the lead? At that time your father clearly said he would handle it himself and you had to disobey.”
“Do you think a newcomer like you can be competent? Without dozens years of experiences in business, you can’t deal with it. You really think you’re a superwoman?”
“And Jocelyn, you are married, don’t you have a husband who is studying medicine?”
“Why didn’t he come back to help you when you had such a big problem? Who is this man? This person is not as good as you said, right?”
Now Sara only hoped that Allen could ruthlessly clean up Jocelyn.
But Jocelyn didn’t say a word, not even raising her head to look at her, just sipping her juice silently, as if she didn’t care about anything.
This reaction made Sara extremely unhappy, “Jocelyn, why don’t you say sorry to your dad? Being silent can’t save the problems. What should be lost will not be preserved just because you are silent.”
The words that poured into his ears made Allen’s face grow darker and darker, and the hands that rested on the arm of the sofa clenched into fists.
Sara concluded that her tactic had worked and began to resist snickering.
Jocelyn still refused to make a sound, silently put down her cup and began to play with her mobile phone. Seeing three unread text messages on the screen, she clicked on it.
All three were from Joseph, both from yesterday and today, all with similar content, asking if she needed any help, and that he would help.
She couldn’t help but think to herself, “He’s really a bitch, she believes there’s no way Gloria wouldn’t tell him that she had been married, but he still tried to get approach her.
She simply ignored it, deleted the message and blacked out the number.
Because Sara came, Gloria’s guts got bigger and she said, “Dad, Jocelyn made you angry, just vent your anger out at Jocelyn, why do you treat me like this? Did I say anything wrong?”
She just said a few words of truth, why should her father react so much? Does he still want to continue to favor Jocelyn even now?
Just at this time, the doorbell rang.
As soon as Gloria heard it, she immediately hooked her lips in triumph and quickly stood up clutching her phone and said, “I’ll go and open the door.”
She knew that it must be her Joseph who was coming, she had approached him many times in the afternoon, but he had ignored her. During dinner, she lied and said that her stomach was not feeling well, he said that he would come over later and take her to the doctor. When it was very late and he did not come, she thought he would not come over.
She was disappointed that he couldn’t come along to see how bad Jocelyn looked.
It was so good that he could come now, so he could witness everything with them, and then Jocelyn’s image in Joseph’s heart would definitely fall.
She then cheerfully opened the door, and there was indeed Joseph standing outside.
It was snowing outside, and the top of his head and the shoulders of his dark blue tweed suit were covered in snowflakes.
His brow tinged with a bit of fatigue, and an extremely impatient expression on his face as he lowered his voice, “You don’t look like you have an upset stomach.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“I was really sick the moment I came to you, but after a while I was fine, I don’t know why.” Gloria explained in a rush.
“Since you’re fine, I’ll go back first, there’s still a bunch of things waiting for me at the company.” Joseph frowned in dissatisfaction, withdrew his arm without good grace, turned around and prepared to leave.
The Stewart’s had been difficult because of those previous scandals, and his workload had increased a lot, so he didn’t want to waste extra energy on the woman he hated.
Gloria immediately clutched Joseph and once again held his arm tightly, “Don’t go, Joseph, come sit with me for a while.”
With these words, Gloria forcibly dragged Joseph into the living room. Joseph always had a deep frown and a reluctant face.
The moment he saw Jocelyn, Joseph’s frown instantly stretched out and the displeasure on his face disappeared, as if his soul had been back.
She really did become more beautiful after three years.
So he let Gloria tugging him all the way to the front of the sofa.
Gloria sat next to Jocelyn, while Joseph sat next to Gloria. Once he sat down, Joseph nodded politely towards Allen and Sara, “Hello, Mr. Murphy, Mrs. Murphy.”
“Hm.” Allen responded coldly, he himself hated this person because of the things Joseph had done, plus being in a bad mood, he didn’t have a good face anymore.
“Hello.” Sara was warm and full of enthusiasm, her face beaming with joy.
Jocelyn never paid any attention to any of them, not giving them a single look, just silently looking at the financial news on her phone.
“Dad, let’s continue what we were talking about earlier, it’s obvious that Jocelyn has upset you, why did you hit me with your phone? I’m a pregnant woman.” Gloria now quickly cut to the chase so that Jocelyn could be taught a hard lesson by her father in front of them.
Thinking of this, she glanced smugly at Jocelyn beside her as well as Joseph.
How disappointed would Joseph be if he knew that Jocelyn was not capable. And how would father be furious later? She was really looking forward to it.
“Turn the phone on.” Allen tried his best to hold down the anger inside him and chided in a cold voice.
Out of curiosity, Sara glanced at Allen before she quickly squeezed Jocelyn aside and sat herself beside Gloria, directly picking up the phone and unlocking it, she wanted to see what Allen was trying to do.
Gloria and Joseph’s eyes also instantly converged on the phone’s screen.
After the lock screen opened, it directly showed a paused video, and Gloria didn’t even think about it before directly tapping on it.
