Chapter 148 Two Trash of Similar Worth
Kaine hurriedly waved his hands, "No, no, no, Madam. I wouldn't dare inquire about your affairs with Mr. Lawrence..."
"Are you suspecting that I've angered Sebastian? I just want to reveal the truth."
Seeing that Isabella was serious, Kaine gestured as if he wanted to escape.
But Isabella was quick and grabbed him, "Kaine, you must reason with me. You are aware of what happened between Mr. Lawrence and Lynda, right?"
"Yes, I do know a bit..."
"Now that Lynda has returned, he definitely wants to protect her. But the Lawrence family has never liked her. So, in order to prevent Lynda from being troubled by the Lawrence family, Sebastian asked me to call them and try to persuade them."
"Um... Madam, you are very understanding, very understanding."
"I had no choice. Sebastian asked, so I had to comply. With my eloquence, I managed to convince old Master Lawrence. Then, I had Sebastian cooperate and be discreet when meeting Lynda, to avoid drawing unnecessary attention."
After finishing her explanation, Isabella sighed, "What do you think, Kaine? Did I do something wrong? What is wrong with him?"
Kaine pondered for a moment and answered, "Perhaps... you did too well, Madam?"
"What kind of logic is that?"
"Maybe Mr. Lawrence wants you to feel jealous and dissatisfied, so he can see that you have feelings for him," Kaine said, "That way, he can know that he holds a place in your heart."
Isabella shook her head repeatedly when she heard this, "Impossible. He doesn't care if I have feelings for him or not."
"He does care, Madam. Despite his young age and power, Mr. Lawrence is still a man."
"He loves Lynda."
Kaine replied, "That may be true, but Madam, you also have a place in Mr. Lawrence's heart."
"What place? I am just holding the place for Lynda. Eventually, I will have to make room for her because of the position she holds in Sebastian's heart."
Isabella paused halfway through and stopped, "Never mind."
"Really, Madam. I have been with Mr. Lawrence for many years, so I understand him well. If he didn't care, he wouldn't be angry."
"But it doesn't make sense," Isabella retorted.
"He loves Lynda, not me. What benefit would he gain by making me jealous, by making me care? Could it be that he also likes me?"
Kaine nodded frantically, "It's possible!"
"That's nonsense!" Isabella immediately denied, "He just wants to boost his own ego."
"You're wrong. Just like I said, he genuinely..."
Joshua's voice suddenly came over, "Or maybe you're right, he likes you."
Kaine called out, "Joshua," and quickly ran off.
It was better for him not to meddle in the bosses' affairs.
Isabella watched Kaine's speedy figure, shrugged, and looked up at Joshua.
"Joshua, go find Sebastian, will you? He's in his office, but he might not be in a good mood right now. Be careful."
After saying that, she was about to leave.
Joshua asked, "Why did you ignore what I just said?"
"Huh? What did you say earlier?"
"Don't play dumb, Mrs. Lawrence." Joshua smiled. "Do you dare to consider the possibility that Sebastian might love you?"
"Joshua, you must be joking."
Isabella stopped walking and replied, "You and Sebastian are practically inseparable. Kaine doesn't fully understand his thoughts. You're just talking nonsense. Don't you understand?"
"It's precisely because I've known Sebastian for many years that perhaps I understand him even better than he does himself."
Isabella looked down.
"Is that so?"
"You can't look at me," Joshua said.
"Are you afraid to face it or trying to hide your own confusion?"
"I just find it amusing. Sebastian is in love with Lynda, everyone in New York knows that."
"But he's different with you... It's special."
Isabella didn't want to continue the conversation with Joshua. After a few seconds of silence, she said, "Is there something else, Joshua?"
"I know what you're avoiding. Sebastian is a complex person, but actually... he's quite simple. Compared to Lynda, I have more faith in you."
Isabella couldn't help but take a closer look at Joshua. "Do you know what you're saying?"
Joshua just smiled and asked, "Do you know why I'm saying this?"
Isabella shook her head.
"Because I've loved before," he said, "so I understand."
"Yeah, you are about to be engaged to the daughter of the Garcia family. It's a joyous occasion in the world. You found true love, and that's something to celebrate."
"You know, I'm talking about her."
Isabella calmly met his gaze. "All I know is that you and Sebastian are actually quite similar."
Joshua laughed. "Did she tell you that?"
"I figured it out myself."
"I'm not like Sebastian," Joshua responded.
"I know very clearly who I love. Whereas he struggles to see into his own heart. In that regard, I'm stronger than him."
"What a claim." Isabella couldn't help but dampen his spirits. "You're both two peas in a pod."
"Alright, I've been scolded by you again."
"Please, Joshua, I have work to attend to."
Isabella rolled her eyes at him, walked into the secretary's office, and returned to her own office.
Joshua shook his head with a smile and walked into the President's office.
Sebastian glanced up at him. "What's the matter?"
"Of course, there's something to discuss with you," Joshua closed the door behind him and raised the file in his hand.
"It's about your older brother."
"Anthony?"
"You told me to keep an eye on him. My people have given me some information."
Sebastian reached out his hand. "Give it to me."
"Take a look." Joshua pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Oh, by the way, just now outside the door, your wife scolded me again."
"Did she call us 'trash' again?"
"Yes, and scolded both of us."
Sebastian snorted and opened the file, flipping through the contents. After looking at two pages, he threw it aside. "Is that all?"
"Anthony has only been up to this much?"
"Why don't you also write about what he eats, drinks, and does in the bathroom? Just to make it more detailed."
Joshua shrugged.
"He really doesn't have much activity. Plus, you hold the Lawarence Group from top to bottom, and the foundation is solid. He can't make much waves."
"I don't believe that Anthony would do nothing."
"Perhaps he has settled down now and just wants to live a peaceful life?"
Sebastian's fingertips tapped lightly on the tabletop twice. "Even if he wanted to, his mother would never agree."
Joshua replied, "But I've been watching him for almost two years, and there really hasn't been any progress."
"That's precisely what makes him dangerous."
"Are you saying he has done something that I haven't found?"
"No. It's what he wants to do that we have no idea about, let alone where to begin guarding against it."
