Chapter 35
35 Took the Hit from the Pot Lid
Joseph was really pampered. He just broke a bowl. Did they have to be so nervous...?
Fortunately, Charlie wasn’t as nervous as they were, but said when smiling, “Although washing dishes is easy, learning new things is a basic quality that a business leader should possess. You should rely on yourself to overcome difficulties. You guys should step aside. Joseph is a grown man. It’s not worth mentioning even if he cuts his finger.”
“Yes.”
The nervous crowd stepped aside. Joseph respectfully bowed his head towards Charlie, “You’re right. They’re too nervous and I’m not hurt.”
Then Joseph swallowed his rage and squatted down, personally packing up the pieces....
Seeing the overbearing Joseph like this, Isabella was filled with joy.
While flattering, Isabella nudged, “Grandpa, that’s really amazing. It turns out that washing dishes can be elevated into enterprise management. No wonder Joseph is faithful to his duties. It seems that he should do more dishes. How clumsy Joseph is. It will be great if he gets more experience.”
“Isabella, you’re absolutely right. I also think what characterizes training given to Joseph is a lack of attention to detail. That...”
“Master Wilson, there’s an emergency teleconference call from the American branch.”
.....
A servant suddenly walked in, interrupting everyone’s conversation, and reported anxiously.
“What do you need me to solve personally at this late hour....”
Charlie stopped smiling and stood up with his walking stick, “Alright, all of you can go. Isabella instructs Joseph to finish washing the dishes. Tell me if he dares to cheat!”

“What? Do I need to stay here with Joseph?”
Isabella’s smile froze. The moment Charlie stood up and turned around, Isabella felt Joseph’s anger....
“Wait, Grandpa....”
Before Isabella could finish, Joseph pounced on her from behind and held her. Joseph was probably afraid that Charlie would be suspicious of him, so he smiled brightly as he held Isabella’s neck and said loudly towards the door, “Grandpa, don’t worry. I will definitely complete the mission with Isabella!”
Charlie wasn’t suspicious of Joseph and went straight upstairs. The servants saw that things were bad and left right away....
Instantly, only Joseph and Isabella remained in the large kitchen.
The door slammed shut....
“Well, whoever loses washes the dishes, right?”
Joseph pressed Isabella against the corner, pulled off the apron and gloves, and smiled sinisterly, “You have a lot of tricks, Isabella.”
Isabella squatted in the corner and knew that that was too much. She could only pass herself off helpless and huddle up to beg for mercy, “I did that to help you out. Joseph, you have to understand me.”
“Dear, I need to do more dishes, right?”
Joseph said in the same tone as Isabella. Then Joseph moved his neck and fingers, making a terrifying cracking sound, “Isabella, your suggestion is very good. Charlie is growing fond of you.”
“Isn’t it because I flatter Master Wilson?”
Isabella said while she was eager to please Joseph, “Don’t look at me like that. Isn’t it good to wash the dishes? You’re the president of the Global Group and the successor of the Wilson Consortium. Isn’t it embarrassing if you don’t even know how to wash the dishes?”
“That’s right. How embarrassing.”
Joseph smiled as he held Isabella up. Joseph faked a smile as he said, “So it would be better for the omnipotent Miss Isabella to guide me personally, wouldn’t it?”
As soon as Joseph finished speaking, his eyes were sharp and he rudely pushed Isabella to the bucket.
Then Joseph walked forward and pressed Isabella’s head inside, “The next step to rinse it, right?”
“Wait! Wait!”
Isabella pressed her hands against the bucket and anxiously said, “I tell you if you dare to press me down, I will tell Grandpa about this and you will come to a bad end!”
“Go ahead!”
Joseph wore a grim smile. “You know what? The worst scenario for me is to get a beating from my grandpa and then take like a month to recover. But you manipulated me, like I’m a fool. That is utter humiliation! I want you to pay for it now! I’ll let you know what it takes to play me!”
“No! No....”
When Isabella’s hair touched the water, she cried and screamed, “Please don’t do it to me! My stepfather often drowns me like this! I really can’t stand it! Please!”
Isabella’s tears rolled down into the bucket, and her cries sounded anguished. “Carl abused you?” Joseph stopped and asked doubtfully.
“He will beat me whenever he is in a bad mood!”
“He locked me in a dark basement and pressed my head into ice water until I fainted. I’m afraid of water! I really do! Please, Joseph. I’m sorry for what I’ve done. But please punish me another way!”
Hearing Isabella’s desperate cries, Joseph frowned and let go of her hand. “I won’t drown you, but you can’t get away with screwing around on me. I am not a good man.”
“I was improvising. I didn’t mean to play you!”
Isabella wiped her tears as she said, “What do you want? Do you have to...?”
Before she finished the sentence, she suddenly glared over Joseph’s shoulder, her face disturbed and troubled. “Grandfather, wait, listen to me! Joseph and I were just...”
Joseph immediately turned around and did not see Charlie. When he turned back, a pot lid was smashed onto his head.
