Chapter 821
Unexpectedly, the sports car had limited interior space.
Joseph happened to be above Cassie's head, but when Cassie looked up, Joseph bent down, and Cassie's moist lips brushed against Joseph's thin lips.
.Suddenly it became quiet.
Joseph's throat tightened as if a flame had been thrown into a pile of firewood, igniting a flame.
Staring at Cassie up close, Joseph noticed that Cassie's skin was particularly good, without a single pore or pimple. Under Joseph's gaze, her originally milky fair skin gradually took on a pink halo, becoming even more stunningly beautiful.
"You go away," Cassie yelled out and pushed Joseph away.
"Just one more kiss before I go," Joseph insisted and stood still. Although he only lightly touched Cassie's lips, the taste made it unforgettable for Joseph, as if he were a hungry tiger finally getting its meat.
"No, I bumped into you just now," Cassie awkwardly argued.
"I don't think so," Joseph rebutted, his eyes revealing a hint of a passionate smile. "Well, if there's no kiss, I won't leave."
"Joseph," Cassie scolded and gritted her teeth, not expecting Joseph to be so shameless.
"Look over there," Joseph exclaimed and suddenly pointed outside in surprise.
Cassie immediately looked over, only to find nothing. Cassie suddenly realized she had been fooled. But at that moment, Joseph's lips also came down for a kiss, lingering on hers for two or three seconds before quickly leaving. He was like a cat stealing cream, smiling smugly.
Cassie fell silent.
Joseph had only recently broken up with Megan, but it seemed like he hadn't kissed a woman in a long time.
Joseph got into the driver's seat, then started the car and inquired, "Honey, how did you feel about the Chapman family today?"
"Not good," Cassie answered and furrowed her brows. "The Chamberlain family and the Chapman family have decided to establish a joint venture company, investing a lot of money. They are ambitious. I think the Chamberlain family wants to establish the largest financial company in Madison. Your financial subsidiary under the Hernandez family might be squeezed and bankrupted."
"It's all because my other relatives lack capability. The Hernandez family hasn't been very satisfactory in the financial sector all these years," Joseph then remarked.
Putting on sunglasses, Joseph added, "However, the Chapman family has never been good at finance. Rushing into this without caution might not only help the Chamberlain family but also bring no benefits to you."
"I do think so, but those shareholders have already benefited from the previous e-commerce cooperation with the Chamberlain family. Now they are getting restless, and Luna even persuaded my grandfather." Cassie sighed. She had wasted too much energy a few days ago to deal with Megan, leading to Luna and her father causing trouble again.
"Although Paul has been retired for many years, he still holds some prestige in the Chapman family," Joseph chuckled, "Luna is not simple. If Paul gets involved, it could be troublesome. According to my grandfather, Paul is somewhat stubborn and arrogant. Strictly speaking, he thinks highly of himself. Although he’s not very capable, others are not allowed to say so."
Cassie felt helpless. As someone who had lived for so long, Joseph's evaluation was incisive. "What do you think of Felix?" she then asked.
"He’s ambitious and willing to do anything for his goals. From what I know about the Chamberlain family's methods, they are not sincerely trying to support the Chapman family. The cooperation with the Chapman family in recent years is purely because there are still benefits to be gained from the Chapman family. Perhaps this joint venture can squeeze out the last bit of value from the Chapman family," Joseph remarked seriously.
He lightly tapped the steering wheel and added, "When he squeezes out the last bit of value from the Chapman family, he can then directly compete with the Hernandez family."
Cassie was shocked and remained silent for a while.
Seeing Cassie fall silent, Joseph thought she was worried and smiled. "Don't overthink it. Although you are the heir of the Chapman family, you don't truly control the Chapman family. After all, you are not a child of the Chapman family. In the eyes of those two stubborn guys in the Chapman family, you probably will be treated differently compared to Luna and Atlas, who they have watched grow up."
