Chapter 1381
Although Joshua wasn''t looking directly at Isabe, she knew he was addressing her.
She hurriedly took a seat opposite Joshua, shing a sycophantic smile. "Joshua, I''ve heard you''ve been searching for a jade
pearl from the Middle Ages. That piece has always been with my mother. She told me once, after a night of indiscretion at a bar,
she met a man, and then | came along. That man gave her a jade pearl, but she was afraid my father would find out, so she
never sought him out again."
Isabe''s heart was pounding with nervousness, but she managed to convey the story she had carefully prepared.
Her purpose in seeking out Joshua was to let him know that she was his daughter! She had overheard the conversation between
Richard and Thssa outside the hospital.
Richard had said that Joshua once met a woman in a bar and gave her the jade pearl, and he had been searching for both the
pearl and the woman for years without sess.
Seizing upon this information, Isabe fabricated the story about her mother, trying to make Joshua realize that the woman he
had met all those years ago was her mother and that she was his daughter.
If she could be acknowledged as Joshua''s daughter, she would bask in wealth and privilege beyond measure.
And winning Lysander''s heart might not be so impossible after all! After all, Joshua and Lysander shared a mentor-protege
rtionship.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.
Moreover, the Sinir family always valued social parity in their alliances. If she could be Joshua''s daughter, she would be
deemed worthy of a union with the Sinirs.
Everyone loves to climb the socialdder, especially when it''s as grand as the Whitmans.
After Isabe finished her tale, Joshua ced a cup of coffee before her and looked at her with a noble gaze. "The jade pearl,
did you bring it?"
He seemed uninterested in Isabe''s excited speech; he just wanted to know if she had the jade pearl.
Isabe paused, taken aback. She had thought Joshua would be moved by the news about the woman from his past, that there
would at least be some ripple of emotion.
But he was far calmer than she had anticipated.
Could this be theposure of a sessful, sagacious person?
With this thought, Isabe, without doubting any further, extracted the carefully preserved jade pearl from her bag and presented
it to Joshua with both hands. "Joshua, take a look. This is definitely authentic."
Joshua took the jade pearl from her hands, examining it closely. The color, the pattern—it was indeed genuine, the very one he
had given away all those years ago.
After confirming its authenticity,
Joshua sped the jade pearl in

Moments ago, Isabe could still contain her emotions, showing respect and submission.
But now, with Joshua showing no signs of acknowledging her as his daughter, she felt rebuffed, and her words lost their restraint.
Joshua''s gaze turned icy as he stared at the agitated Isabe. "Do you know why you''re able to see me here?"
Isabe leaned forward, her hands

skipped a beat, and she asked in
confusion, "What do you mean?"

Joshua lowered his gaze, picked up his coffee cup, and took a leisurely sip. "If | hadn''t made my whereabouts known, you would
have never found me. Do you know why | let you find me?”
