Isabelle said, “I don’t eat desserts.”
Joshua inquired, “What do you like to eat? I’ll bring it for you
next time.”

Isabelle answered, “No need.”
After a moment, she changed her mind and said, “Put it in the fridge. I’ll eat it later.”
Joshua was delighted and said, “Okay.”
After this incident, Isabelle and George completely fell out with each other.
That night, after being beaten, threatened, and intimidated by Danny, the long–missing Gideon sneaked back.
When he got home, he started rummaging through the cabinets for money, turning the house into a mess. It was obvious that he had lost money outside again.
He had also been beaten, with his face covered in injuries.
As soon as Joshua got home, he ran into Gideon.
“You b*stard! Your mother is dead. Where did you hide all the money? Hand it over to me right now, or I’ll beat you to death,” Gideon cursed angrily.
Seeing Joshua completely ignoring him as if he were invisible, Gideon got angry. He grabbed Joshua, raising his hand to slap him across the face.
“You little br*t! You’ve grown up and dared to ignore me,” Gideon shouted angrily.
Joshua pushed him away forcefully.
This action angered Gideon.
Gideon pounced and started grappling with Joshua, hitting him and cursing, “You b“stard! You even dared to have your classmates come beat me up, dared to hit your father! You brt are not afraid of divine punishment. You’re just as damned as that sl*t of a mother of yours!”
Gideon knocked down Joshua, and he raised his hand to shield himself from Gideon.
Gideon kept saying nasty things.
Joshua’s eyes flashed with a fleeting intent to kill, and in an instant, he seemed to transform. Moments
later, one of his hands suddenlined into a claw–like shape and went straight for Gideon’s throat.
He wanted to kill this scoundrel. It had been a long time coming
Gideon pinned Joshua down and started punching him in the face.
Joshua’s killing intent was evident, about to snap Gideon’s neck on the spot when he suddenly noticed

Since it was his father, Joshua didn’t go all out. He was pinned down by his father like an animal, with his neck tightly gripped.
“Hand over all the money to me! Otherwise, I’ll strangle you, you b*stard! Gideon completely lost control.
Isabelle stepped forward and kicked Gideon, knocking him over.”
Gideon groaned in pain, struggling to get up, and then he saw a beautiful young woman.
Isabelle told him. “If you don’t want to die, get out of here.
“Wow, you little b*stard, you’ve grown some skills! You’re even sleeping with women now. You’re quite fortunate. She’s so beautiful and looks well–off. You’ve lucked out, kid.”
Gideon was still thinking about getting some money out of Isabelle.
It was unclear which words enraged Joshua, who had held back until then. Suddenly, he exploded, climbed to his feet, and charged at Gideon against the wall, punching him in the face.
In a real fight, the heavy–drinking Gideon, who wasn’t a match for the younger and stronger Joshua, was beaten badly and could only flee while holding his head.
Gideon ran to the door and didn’t dare to stop, fleeing as fast as he could.
Exhausted, Joshua collapsed and sat paralysed on the
ground.
The room was filled only with the sound of his ragged breathing.
Isabelle said, “I’ll go buy some medicine for you.”
Joshua remained silent, feeling once again that someone had seen his most humiliating side. His self- esteem was shattered.
Isabelle’s excuse to go out and buy medicine seemed to be a way of preserving his dignity.
However, after Isabelle left, Joshua, with his head down, wiped the corner of his mouth and lifted his face expressionlessly.
There was no emotional fluctuation in his cold, icy gaze.
When Isabelle returned with the medicine, Joshua had already tidied the house. He seemed unaffected as if nothing had happened, but he remained silent.
Isabelle asked him to
