Chapter 255: I Can’t Just Take Anything from Other People
Joseph looked at her with surprise. Winona stood in the sunset smiling innocently as she said, “Brother,
during the weekend, I heard you call your classmate, saying that you were going to celebrate
someone’s birthday. I’m worrying that you don’t have enough money to pay for living expenses, so I’m
here to send you money.”
A long time ago, once Joseph’s biological father came to the Summers family, he, Winona, and Paula
hid in the doorway and overheard his background. Therefore, they had known that Joseph was not the
Summers family’s descendant, but Winona always called him brother.
Joseph liked it when she called him that. It’s affectionate, intimate, like family, but more than family.
He returned the money to her with a straight face, but Winona pursed her lips with displeasure and
stuffed the money into his clothes. And then she ran away and said while smiling, “Brother, don’t starve
yourself for the sake of face. If you starve and thin, how can you carry me in the future?”
Joseph stood in the sunset and felt warm in his heart as he looked at her running away happily.
Winona was a light in his life, a light that he couldn’t touch even if he stood on his tiptoes…
“Sir!”
Joseph came to his senses at the girl’s soft and sweet voice. When he lowered
his head, Belle was standing in front of him, grabbed his big hand with her little hands, and stuffed the
banknote into his hand.
Sat,

“Sir, although it’s not very much, only enough to buy two bottles of drinks, you have to keep it. Mommy
said that many a little makes a mickle, and many drops of water will eventually make an ocean. Don’t
look down upon it!”
Joseph met her dark brown eyes and his heart softened once again.
She… really looked like Winona when she was a child. They had the same eyes
and dimples.
He couldn’t help but crouch down and take down from his wrist a string of shiny green emerald
bracelets that he had worn for more than twenty whole years. With a smiling face, he grabbed Belle’s
hand and put it on, saying, “Then this is as a reward for you returning the money, okay?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Wow…” Belle looked at the string of bracelet on her hand, her eyes widened in delight, and said, “Sir,
this bracelet is so beautiful!”
Joseph fondly touched her head and asked, “Do you like it?”
Belle nodded vigorously, replying, “Yes, I like it.”
With that, she handed the bracelet back to Joseph and continued, “But I can’t
take it.”
Arching his brows, Joseph asked in surprise, “Why?”
Belle smiled and tilted her head, explaining, “Because Mommy says I can’t just take anything from
other people.”
What a great tutor she had! Joseph thought.
At this moment, a little boy walked out and pulled Belle back to him.

His face was cold with caution in his eyes, which he shouldn’t have at his
age.
Joseph raised his lips and asked him with a smile, “What’s the matter?”
Jon didn’t let his guard down for Joseph’s kind smile, replying, “No gains without pains. My sister is just
returning what you dropped, and she can’t afford such an expensive gift from you.”
How could a child know the value of an object?
Joseph smiled and said, “This isn’t expensive. It’s just booth goods and is worth only two dollars.”
Principal Davis stared at the bracelet on his hand, and the corner of his
mouth twitched hard.
Two dollars! Well, he could only fool a three–year–old child.
“Not at all!”
Belle walked forward and looked carefully at the bracelet on Joseph’s hand. Then, she said confidently,
“The green color is heavy, thick, and noble. Under the sunlight, it presents a lake–green, and the
degree of green is different being seen from different angles. It’s the very best rarest diamond
and emerald.”
Joseph was stunned.
Principal Davis was also dumbfounded!
Her comments were very professional!

He couldn’t believe that these words came out of the mouth of a child less
than four years old.
At this moment, only shock was written on Joseph’s face. Meanwhile, his inner world, which had
always been dead and silent, suddenly welcomed a hurricane, triggering tremendous fluctuations!
Winona… Winona was able to recognize all kinds of gemstones and emeralds when she was five years
old. She once said that she had been examining stones for more than ten years but had never seen the
rarest diamonds and emeralds and that she hoped she would be able to appraise with her own eyes a
piece of rarest diamonds one day.
Joseph had kept her wish deep in his heart. When he was sent abroad by Master Summers, he
searched for the rarest diamonds and emeralds everywhere and finally found a piece of faceted raw
stone, which he wanted to bring back to Winona as a wedding gift, only to find that she was nowhere to
be found.
Later, when he became the head of the Felix family, he had that piece of raw stone made into this
string of bracelet, thinking that if he could meet with Winona again someday, he could give it to her in
person…
“Kid…”
His voice was suddenly muffled. Fixing his eyes on Belle, Joseph asked, “Can I come to see you in the
future?”
As he said, a drop of tear streamed down his face, and even he himself didn’t realize it. However, Belle
was stunned for a moment and raised her small hand to gently wipe it off for him, inquiring, “Sir, why
are you crying?”
Joseph grabbed her small hand and pinched it hard in his palm. But afraid of scaring her, he promptly
let it go in time, replying, “It’s okay. The wind blew into my eyes just now.”

“Well,” Belle nodded, then pulled Jon’s little hand and waved at Joseph, saying, “Sir, it’s time for class,
and we’ll go back first.”
Looking at Belle’s cheerful appearance as she pulled Jon along with a bounce, Joseph felt that his
empty heart was instantly filled with warmth.

His granddaughter was lively and cute, and his grandson was cold–faced but alert and smart. God
really pitied him, letting him see the hope of living when he was getting old.
“Mr. Sean.”
Logan walked into the office, looked at Sean who was working in front of the computer, and respectfully
said, “News came from the school. Joseph went to see the young master and young miss.”
Sean just nodded without showing any other reaction, as if it was a normal thing.
Logan licked his dry lips and tentatively asked, “Should I tell the school that Joseph is not allowed to go
to the school anymore?”
“No need,” replied Sean.
He finally raised his head, a wry light flashing in his eyes, and said, “If he doesn’t go, how can some
people be in a hurry?”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, picking up a folder from the side and handing it to Logan,
and continued, “Lady Angela will come to Ascalon in

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, picking up a folder from the side and handing it to Logan,
and continued, “Lady Angela will come to Ascalon in a few days, probably to recruit a jewelry company
with oriental characteristics to move in for her mall. You send it over to Sinclaire
Jewelry and tell them to prepare for it properly. Don’t bother Claire with Joseph’s things these days.”
“Claire… Claire…”
Julia rushed into Claire’s studio and put the folder Logan brought over on
Claire’s work table.
Seeing that Claire didn’t raise her head and was concentrating on drawing the design, Julia picked up
the folder again and showed it before Claire’s eyes.
