Chapter 1287: Chapter 1287: Getting Engaged to My Boyfriend

Joe Heath wore an expression that was neither crying nor laughing, and couldn’t utter a word.

Wouldn’t the little guy cry out of frustration if he heard what his dad said?

"Big brother, I’m not joking with you..." Joe Heath hurriedly said.

"I’m not joking with you, either."

"..."

Joe Heath truly didn’t know what to do with Sylvan Cheney. In front of Sylvan, he really had no solutions.

"Then big brother, have you thought of a solution? We can’t just let the shares keep falling, can we?"

Sylvan’s eyes hardened, covered with a layer of cold, frosty white, his gaze twinkling with elusive meanings.

The Cheney Family, apart from smuggling, had a lot of dark history.

Back in the day, the Cheney Family had done no small number of things teetering on the edge of legality.

Such a Cheney Family, it’s better off gone.

"Big brother, say something. I just got back from Uarope and came straight to you, and you won’t say a word to me, don’t you consider me a brother?"

"You can leave now."

"..."

Joe Heath glared at Sylvan, damn it, he really didn’t think of him as a brother.

Harboring a grudge for past grievances?

That was so long ago he nearly forgot.

Joe Heath’s mind spun, and he casually said, "Big brother, let’s not talk about such depressing topics, let’s talk about something cheerful. This time in Uarope, Jasmine asked me to bring back a pair of rings, oh, big brother, look, aren’t they beautiful?"

Saying this, Joe Heath opened his phone and showed a picture of a pair of rings.

A couple’s diamond rings, one for the man and the other for the woman, adorned with stars and moons respectively.

The style was very simple, but simplicity carried an understated luxury.

Sylvan’s gaze intensified.

"She said she’s getting engaged to her boyfriend, and of course, I bless her, this pair of diamond rings, consider it a present from me as her brother. Big brother, what gift did you buy for sister Jasmine? No matter what, you’ve known her for a lot longer than I have, right?"

"Who told you she’s getting engaged?"

"Ah? Big brother, you didn’t know? Impossible..." Joe was dumbstruck, "Jasmine told me before the new year, she didn’t tell you? Or is it that you two haven’t been in touch for a long time?"

Joe Heath carelessly waved the photo in front of Sylvan again.

"Get out!" Sylvan’s eyes were bloodshot, glaring at Joe Heath as if he was preying on a hunt, the bottom of his eyes burning with rage.

"..."

Joe Heath shrugged, "Big brother, seems we can’t have a nice conversation."

"Get out of the Cheney Residence!"

"..."

Joe Heath shrugged once more.

One shouldn’t provoke the furiously angry Sylvan, that much he knew.

No choice then, Joe Heath had to roll out.

Stepping out of the living room, a gust of cold wind hit him, causing Joe Heath to sneeze uncontrollably.

He settled into his Porsche just as his mother’s call came: "Kid, are you in Landon yet?"

"I am, I am, almost home."

"Oh, I’m not worried about you, I’m worried about my pair of rings."

"..." Joe Heath rolled his eyes, "Bought them."

Such a true mother.

Only caring about her anniversary rings, not her son.

Joe Heath "tsked" and hung up the phone.

Annoyed, huh!

One after another, they really made him annoyed.

Thinking this, he glanced back at the Cheney Residence, the bleak Cheney Residence presented a completely different scene from the past.

Now in winter, it looked especially desolate and lonely.

The vast mansion stood among the mountains and waters, yet it lacked the vitality of past days.
