In Amelia Bright’s eyes, Joziah Austin has never been a simple wine bag, although he does behave like this in front of other people, father does not love mother, but she can be sure that she was reborn into Amelia Bright’s body to this matter, the whole the Austin family was the first to get suspicious Joziah Austin, even before Farren Austin.
“Oh? Interesting words?”
Amelia Bright clutched her chopsticks, but despite her apprehension, she remained calm.
“I’d also like to hear what interesting things this man who collaborated with Stetson Madden to murder me has told you, or rather, how he wants to harm me?”
“He said that you were Lucy Chambers.”
There was a brief silence in the air.
After a long moment, Amelia Bright burst out laughing with a ridiculous expression, “How much did he drink?”
Joziah Austin stared at her for a few seconds and followed suit with a laugh, seemingly agreeing with her explanation, only the laugh was intriguing.
“Not much, just a bottle of whiskey.”
“It seems that Gellar is not a good drinker,” Amelia Bright asked rhetorically, “but I don’t understand, grandfather has already made it clear that he is clear with the Gellar family, but the third young master is still so eager to make friends with Liam Gellar. What is the meaning of this?”
“We are brothers who grew up together, we just met by chance, why is your sister-in-law so nervous?”
“I’m not nervous? His wife deliberately tried to kill me because I interrupted them at their wedding reception, but I was lucky to escape.
She and Joziah Austin are both cautious people, both are carefully testing each other, waiting for the other side a slack, leak a half sentence of the breach, so as to understand the other side’s purpose, but it is a number of encounters, equal, no one has lost, no one has won.
Joziah Austin still can’t figure out exactly why she changed so much as soon as she came back, and she didn’t get to know what purpose in the Austin familyJoziah Austin deliberately kept clumsy to hide the sharpness.
The stalemate did not allow, shouting for a long time Aunt Zhou Lily came late, but not to Joziah Austin on the tableware.
“Third young master, madam wants you to go to her room.”
“Let me go to her room?”
Joziah Austin froze for a moment, thinking he had heard wrong.
Aunt Zhou nodded, her gaze complicated, “Third young master, madam has been waiting for you all afternoon.”
The sun was coming out of the west, Erlina Lee usually wouldn’t even say a word to him, but today she took the initiative to ask him to come over, he showed some bewildered and wary look.
Looking at Joziah Austin’s back, Amelia Bright’s eyes slightly raised a light arc, what is the meaning of stealing a chicken, lifting a stone to smash his own feet, Joziah Austin should also taste the bitterness.
In the bedroom, Erlina Lee is wearing a lotus-colored dress, her long hair is coiled into a bun behind her head, because of proper maintenance, the whole person looks elegant and exquisite.
At the moment she is standing in front of the mirror, over fifty years old, she still has an upright posture, concave and convex, but in the dim light, the whole person looks a bit eerie and gloomy.
“Mom, you’re looking for me?”
After the creaking of the door, Joziah Austin’s voice echoed in the house.
Erlina Lee did not turn around and asked, seemingly casually.
“How are you doing in the advertising department at your dad’s company?”
“It’s good.”
“How’s that?”
“What do you mean by …?”
Erlina Lee’s face was covered with a layer of gloom, turned around, “Instigating those vixens in the advertising department to spread rumors everywhere, you are not doing well?”
“Mom, you …” Joziah Austin’s face changed instantly, “What are you talking about?”
“If I hadn’t checked, do you think I would have called you in? That female secretary of yours I have let the personnel department open, this kind of shameless cheapskate, also worthy of staying in the Austin, you give me kneel down.”
When she came back at noon, she was awakened by Amelia Bright’s words, and she felt that the rumors were very wrong, obviously about Amelia Bright and Steven Austin, but the rumors were not from the president’s office, but from the advertising department, which was not related to the president’s office.
She followed Aily’s side of the investigation, and indeed found Joziah Austin’s side of the scratchy female secretary.
The rumors were tacitly approved by Joziah Austin behind the scenes.
In the dark room, Joziah Austin stood still for a long time without moving.
Erlina Lee casually picked up the cosmetics next to him and smashed it towards him, only a muffled grunt sounded in the room, followed by Joziah Austin covering his forehead in pain and kneeling down, blood oozing from his fingers.
“Say, why did you do this?” Erlina Lee went berserk and swept all the cosmetics off the cabinet in a single stream.
Joziah Austin didn’t say a word as the loud ‘clatter’ sounded.
In the broken mirror on the floor, he saw his own wretched appearance, as if he was back to his childhood, also in such a dim room, because of an incident he could no longer remember, he was hysterically beaten by Erlina Lee’s head bleeding.
“You just can’t see me having a good time, you were born to collect debts! You son of a bitch!”
“…”
“You do not think I do not know what you are thinking, at the beginning I should not have agreed to Steven let you go to work in the group, since childhood is a bad embryo, insatiable thing, you are see no one good, look at Amelia excellent work ability, afraid of her future and Farren inherited the Austin is it? I shame!”
Erlina Lee, like a country shrew, spat fiercely towards Joziah Austin’s face, “I’m telling you, don’t be delusional, there’s nothing in the Austin family that you deserve.”
“Why?” Joziah Austin suddenly lifted his head, revealing a blood-stained face, his dark eyes showing a bewildered look, “My last name is Austin too, why shouldn’t I think?”
“When I say no, I mean no!” Erlina Lee was mad and smashed everything in her hand on his body, almost shouting with a heartbreaking voice.
“What the hell are you!”
Joziah Austin didn’t have the slightest sense of resistance as the heavy objects slammed down on him, and waited until Erlina Lee’s eyes opened in a blood-red haze.
“Mom, if you hate me so much, why did you give birth to me in the first place?”
Erlina Lee clenched her fist, looking at the ground this beaten almost inhuman man, heart did not have a trace of heartache, her eyes under the thin red blood hidden a few points of fear, gritted her teeth and said.
“That’s your life, I tried everything not to want you, but you were still born.”
Joziah Austin fell to the ground and closed his eyes in death.
So it was just because she was lucky?
