Enchanted By His Charm

Tuell\'s voice sounded like a saw grinding on rusted metal, making them uncomfortable. What\'s more, it was easy to tell from his face that he had experienced many hardships and miseries. If Irish did not know his experience, she might be apathetic towards his countenance as well as his voice, but since she knew what he had gone through, she was sympathetic to him.

It seemed that Joseph was accustomed to his attitude and said to him directly, "I came here for your jewelry."

Irish saw Tuell\'s mouth tremble slightly as if he was pondering something, but soon he replied, "The diamond mine to be auctioned soon has aroused much attention, and I have to tell you frankly that I don\'t want to get involved in it."

"I just want to make a purchase from you, and that\'s all," Joseph took a photo from Belle and handed it to Tuell.

He took a quick glance at it and then looked up at Joseph again, "Mr. Dover is a member of the business elite, how did you get this photo?"

Irish had also seen the photo. It was a photo of the blue-green diamond.

"Mr. Tuell, may I have a word with you?"

He nodded slightly and entered the room inside with Joseph. Though Irish could not hear what they were talking about clearly, she could see their expressions.

They were talking in a low voice, but it seemed they were discussing the price of the diamond, and soon Tuell shook his head.

Irish didn\'t bother to look at the various diamonds on the counter, and she glanced at the room from time to time. Tuell looked quite firm, but Joseph looked even more decisive than him. After a long time, she walked to Belle, who was looking at a necklace on the counter beside her, and asked, "Do you know how to lipread?"

Belle was surprised by her, "What?"

"Do you know what they are talking about?" Irish stared at Joseph\'s face from the crock in the door.

But Belle shook her head.

"You should learn this since you are his senior assistant."

"Well, does Daisy know it?"

Irish kept silent for a while and replied, "I thought she knew better than you."

Belle rolled her eyes at her and said, "Mr. Dover intends to buy that diamond, and they must be discussing it." After finishing her words, she went to look at the necklaces again.

Irish thought her words were reasonable, so she gave up listening to them and was about to look around. But at the moment when she turned back, she suddenly saw Tuell point in her direction. She was surprised, but she thought perhaps it was unintentional. But soon, Joseph also looked at her with a serious look. She realized that they might be talking about her. Irish wondered what they were talking about. When she took a quick glimpse at Tuell and then turned to Joseph, she perceived his wandering eyes, and he shook his head violently. Tuell stood up abruptly and slammed the door.

Irish felt that she was offended, while Belle smiled beside her. "I have never seen such a curious person as you." But she ignored Belle.

They did not talk for a long time, and they went back to the car after their meeting.

Will was listening to music in the car, and he turned it off when they came back to open the doors for them.

When they got in the car, Joseph didn\'t ask Will to start the car immediately but looked outside as if he was thinking. His eyes were so profound that they could not figure out what he was thinking about. Belle didn\'t dare to ask him, but Irish was his girlfriend, so she finally asked after keeping silent for a long time, "The diamond..."

"It is not in Tuell\'s hands," Joseph replied directly.

Irish was astonished and asked, "Has it been sold?"

"Perhaps."

"Let\'s go," Joseph ordered, and Will nodded slightly.

At the moment Will started the car, Irish suddenly held Joseph\'s hands and frowned, "I think he lied to you."

Hearing this, Joseph reached out, knocking on the driver\'s seat, and Will stalled the car immediately. Looking at Joseph, Irish recalled Tuell\'s dodgy eyes and said, "If you were talking about the diamond the entire time, then I think he still has it. There are two reasons for him to lie to you. The first one is that he does not intend to sell it, while the other is that he has an ulterior motive."

Joseph thought for a while, and Irish stopped talking. She wanted to ask him if they were talking about her since she knew that Tuell\'s behavior was not intentional, and there must have been a reason for Joseph\'s serious look.

After a long time, Joseph patted her head lightly and then said to Belle, "You three stay in the car."

Belle nodded while Irish pulled his hands and called his name, "Joseph!"

He smiled gently and said, "I\'ll be back soon."

Irish nodded to him.

After Joseph got out of the car, Belle turned back from the front and showed a faint smile to Irish, "I never knew you could see through people\'s minds."

"I am a psychologist," Irish replied briefly since she was lost in her thoughts about the diamond.

Belle blinked her eyes and continued to ask, "Are you not a member of the Lake family?"

Irish ignored her. Around 30 minutes later, she saw Joseph from a distance and jumped out of the car immediately.

"What\'s going on?"

Joseph pulled her hands and sighed slightly when he got in the car, "It seems that the Runestone Group can\'t get the diamond. It must be fate."

Hearing this, Belle was shocked. Irish knew that it might have been a wild goose chase, so she tried to comfort him, "Well, we can definitely find a diamond better than it."

Joseph smiled at her but did not say anything.

When the car left the diamond shop, Joseph asked Will and Belle to go first since he wanted to bring Irish around. Irish was cheerful while Belle bit her tongue, and finally, she said to Joseph, "Mr. Dover, you\'d better not go around here, it is not safe."
