With a stern face, Joseph gazed at Ella with fury.
Clenching his fist, he thought of the glass of wine the waiter had passed him a while ago.
"Did Grandpa ask you to come?" He didn't answer Ella's question but asked grimly instead.
Ella was startled by Joseph's cold aura.
But she was not going to waste her effort after all she had done to get to this point.
"I came because I want to, Joseph. You're now the president of the Joseph's Group. You should be staying with woman who's worthy of you," she said.
"What makes you think you're worthy of me?" Joseph cut her off.
"I'm the daughter from the Bridges family, I'm the only woman who's worthy of you!" she added.
Joseph smirked. He pinched Ella's chin and pushed her to the ground relentlessly.
The strap of Ella's nightgown fell off from her shoulders. Her smooth fair skin was seductive.
But Joseph didn't lay his gaze on her for even one second.
As Joseph walked towards the balcony, Ella went after him and hugged him from behind.
"Joseph... aren't you going to comply with your grandfather? He wants us to get married too."
She could tell Joseph was actually pleased with her as a woman.
She didn't know what agreement had her brother made with Joseph that he brought her here to sleep with Joseph.
But it didn't matter as long as she got Joseph.
"That's what my grandfather wants, not what I want," Joseph said expressionlessly.
He still had an excellent self-control even though he was drugged.
He yanked Ella's hand off him and his gaze turned darker, "Don't make me repeat myself again, Ella. Get away from me!"
This was the first time Ella saw Joseph in such a ferocious state. He was looking at her with the gaze of utter loath.
But... this was her only chance.
"No, Joseph. I must sleep with you tonight!" she yelled.
With that said, she got up and hugged Joseph again, tiptoed and tried to kiss him.
Once again, Joseph threw her off brutally. Ella’s head knocked into the chair. Her face turned pale out of pain.
When she looked back up, Joseph had already walked out of the balcony.
“Joseph…”
She wanted to go after him, but her head was too dizzy…
At the same time, at the hall.
Alexia was leaving the hall hand in hand with Kathy, but Johnson was nowhere to be seen.
Alexia was about to get back in to find him when Johnson came out of the hall.
“What took you so long?” Alexia was displeased.
“Lincoln is looking for Joseph but he couldn’t find him anywhere,” Johnson replied.
“Grandpa asked Joseph to meet him at the second floor,” Kathy said.
“Really? But I saw Mr. Mathew left just now…” Johnson frowned.
“Reece brought Ella along with him today. Joseph asked me to keep an eye on them, but I can’t find Ella anywhere now.” Johnson’s face darkened.
Kathy was stunned. She trusted Joseph. It was impossible those two were together at this moment.
However, she had a premonition about this.
“Let’s go check out the second floor.” Carrying the hem of her dress, Kathy walked back into the hall.
Alexia followed alongside her. There weren’t many rooms in the second floor, and the doors were all opened. It was only the room at the end of the aisle that was locked.
“Do you have the key?” Alexia turned and asked Johnson.
“Let me contact the manager.”
At the same time, in the room.
