Tailor Shop.
Joseph pushed open the door and entered. His tall body was embedded in the door frame, like a huge intruder.
The old tailor was ironing the clothes. When he saw the stunning man appear, his expression was very surprised.
“Oh! It’s you!”
“Boss, money is not a problem. Please do me a favor.”
Joseph frowned slightly and opened the box in front of the old tailor. “Aiyaya! How did this happen? How did the good clothes become like this?” The old tailor loved clothes like life, and when he saw such good clothes being broken, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
“It’s my fault.” Joseph’s throat was dry, so he could only say this.
“This is that child’s stitching. I watched her painstakingly make it all the way, just like how I made this dress myself.”
The old tailor shook his head in distress, “It’s such a pity… It’s too blind, what good clothes…”
“Is there any way to make up for it?” Joseph asked hurriedly.
“How can I make up for it? If the inside is broken, it can be fixed. If the face is broken, it is not so.”
For some reason, Joseph’s heart tightened when he heard this.
“Try to make up for it. Even if there are traces, at the very least, you should at least sew up the crack.”
As soon as he returned to Mazeland’s villa, Joseph felt that the atmosphere was not quite right and was very depressing.
“Second Brother!”
Aubree’s eldest daughter, Third Miss Skyler, came over anxiously. “Grandpa is here. He is arguing with Dad upstairs in the study room. It is very fierce. You should go up and persuade him!”
“Why is it noisy?” Joseph frowned.
In his eyes, Jake was a filial son. At the very least, he gave people this kind
13:07
of impression.
Grandpa had a stroke and high blood pressure, and he was most afraid of getting angry. Jake did not hesitate to go against the filial piety he had been following for a long time to quarrel with Grandpa until his face. turned red. There was only one reason –
For his stepmother, Aubree.
“Sister Grace is about to marry into our Sawle family, and now that Brown family is in trouble, it is understandable for Dad to help, isn’t it?”
“In the end, Grandpa did not allow Dad to help Brown Group. Do you think Grandpa is old and confused? Helping Brown Group is the same as helping our family, isn’t it?”
“Second brother, you are going to marry sister Grace soon. If this matter is not resolved, our Sawle family will be ashamed!”
Joseph’s eyes were gloomy and he quickly went upstairs.
Ding–bang–!
Rory sat on the wheel chair, picked up the ashtray and teacup on the coffee table and threw it on the ground.

The old man had lived for eighty years, and the older he was, his temper became, and he began to clean up the table.
Aubree wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief and sobbed into Jake’s
arms.
Jake protected her with his body, afraid that the broken pieces of the porcelain cup would burst out and cut her.
“Dad! Can you calm down? Can’t you talk things out properly”
“I’ll talk to you about what you do. You only deserve a beating from me!”
“What did I tell you? I told you not to meddle in Brown Group’s affairs! How dare you go against me?” Rory was so angry that he pounded his chest. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“You even helped them to use up their hard–earned goods. You even gave the project in Sawle Group’s hands to them. How many pounds of yellow soup did this woman pour into your brain? Do you think I’m dead”
“Dad, how can you say that?” Jake was so angry that he had nothing to say, but he did not dare to be stubborn.
“Am I wrong? Ever since you married this woman, your mind has never
been clear!” Rory fiercely slapped the armrest.
“Dad… I know that you don’t like me, but I admit that I have been with Jake for twenty years… I have been aiding my husband and teaching children, wholeheartedly devoted to our Sawle family, living carefully and in fear and trepidation.”
“I have never disobeyed you, nor have I ever caused any trouble for our Sawle family… Because I know that it is already good that I can marry Jake. I dare not ask for anything else…” Aubree cried.
Jake looked at his beloved wife in his arms affectionately.
However, Old Master saw through her hypocritical face and was so angry that his wheelchair trembled.
“But my sister’s family is a family of good businessmen… It’s really too much to be slandered for no reason this time. Moreover, Grace is about to marry Joseph, and this matter is caused…”
“Good businessmen? Then why do they cheat people!?” Rory pursed his lips coldly.
Aubree’s expression froze in an instant.
“Don’t think that I don’t know anything just because I’m old and have retreated to the second line. Brown Group brought disaster upon
themselves. They didn’t do business properly, and in the end, they could only blame themselves!”
“You don’t have to use Joseph to suppress me. He wants to marry that Brown girl. I don’t want to recognize this grandson either!”
“Your family will love each other. When I die, I don’t need you to attend my funeral!”
“Dad!” Jake sighed.
Aubree sobbed, but her eyes were extremely cold.
“Old bastard, I have already had enough of being suppressed by you for twenty years! It would be best if you died quietly outside and died with a grievance!”
“Grandfather!”
Joseph strode in and hurriedly reached out to pat Rory’s back, but Old Master pushed him away.
“You don’t have to be so hypocritical! You are just like your father. You are tired of living for the evil family!”
“I will not help Brown Group. I have already expressed my attitude.” Joseph’s eyes were especially calm.
Rory’s eyes immediately lit up. “Really?”
“Yes, there is indeed something wrong with Brown Group, so I won’t help them.”
“Then you and Brown family…”
“It has nothing to do with Grace. The wedding is the same as before.” Joseph looked indifferent.
“Sigh! Forget it! I didn’t dote on you for nothing just because you had this little bit of awareness! I’m stronger than your muddle–headed father!” Rory waved his hand in disappointment.
He also didn’t understand what his grandson had done. He didn’t want such a good girl like Raya and had to marry a vixen to provoke him!
“Aunt Bell.”
Joseph looked at Aubree and said in a low and flat tone, “Madam Brown is your sister. It is understandable that you want to help her. But the premise of all this is that you can’t damage Sawle Group’s interests.” “Otherwise, wouldn’t it go against the fact that you have always been advocating for our Sawle family?”
Aubree was speechless and her face turned red.
This bastard! He was a coward who did not make a sound stabbed by her when he was a child. When he grew up, he became mean and taciturn. He was sharp–tongued!
“Dad, although Grace is my fiancee, I am a person who knows how to distinguish between public and private. I never mix my personal feelings with business matters. Please, as the chairman, always place the company’s interests first.” Joseph looked at Jake again.
His tone did not have the slightest bit of father–son affection, and it was a completely business–like attitude.
Jake’s face was dark to the end. He was well aware that he was in the wrong. He could only bite the bullet and say, “I helped Brown Group not all for Aubree. I just came back from Puplen. I was going to participate in the summit meeting to discuss another big project abroad. In the end, the other party changed his mind and canceled the meeting.”
“Later, I found out that he was stopped by Oscar, President of KS, halfway. I don’t know what benefits Oscar promised him, but he decided

not to consider working with us, Sawle Group.”
“So many things from beginning to end are all related to Thorp Group. This Thorp Group is clearly targeting us. How can I let them succeed again and again and ride on top of us?”
“There is such a thing?” Rory’s eyes were heavy.
Medo’s Sawle Group and Sea Gate’s Thorp Group were sworn enemies. for the last hundred years. Thorp Group’s great grandmother even said that she would not allow anyone in her family to marry Sawle Group for generations and had fought many times in the business field. The relationship between the two sides had always been bad.
However, Oscar was ruining the hotel project of Sawle Group and causing trouble abroad. This kind of revenge should not be too obvious…
Wait!
Joseph was stunned and asked hurriedly, “Dad, you just said that you met Oscar in Puplen?”
“Yes.”
“Today?”
“Of course.”
How is that possible?!
This afternoon, Oscar even came to the hospital to pick up Raya. How could he have a clone in Puplen?
Could it be that the man in the afternoon was not Oscar?
If he was not Oscar, then who was he!?
