Watching the car reversed again, the owner panicked and frantically tried to steer away to escape.
But he was so scared that his soul seemed to leave his body, and his limbs refused to obey his commands.
The sports car didn't give him a break, crashing into him once more, sending the car sliding sideways and slamming it into the wall. The door was wedged shut, trapping him inside. Again and again, the owner screamed, gripping his head in fear, completely terrified. He was so scared that he ended up wetting himself, his pants soaked through.
When the car was wrecked, the sports car finally came to a stop, but the owner was already scared stiff, completely stunned.
Joshua and the others beside him were also taken aback.
They watched as Isabelle stepped out of the sports car.
Isabelle glanced at the smashed-up front of her car and sighed. "I just wanted to get it washed, now it needs fixing
Joshua snapped out of it and looked at her, saying, "You can't fix it here.
Isabelle knew it was a lost cause. "Well, that's a problem. I liked this car."
Joshua said, "Just send it back to the manufacturer.
Isabelle replied, "It seems like the only option."
Joshua then looked at the car that Isabelle had wrecked and the terrified owner inside.
"He won't dare to cause you trouble. These kinds of people only bully the weak and fear the strong. One lesson like this will be enough for him to remember for a lifetime, Isabelle remarked. Joshua withdrew his gaze, lowering his head to tidy up the tools.
Before long, another car arrived, and Joshua continued working.
Isabelle didn't leave. She just stood by, watching him.
The car owner had already fled, leaving behind a heap of junk. He probably wouldn't dare to come back. for it.
Every time Joshua glanced back, he found Isabelle's eyes fixed on him.
As long as she watched, Joshua remained occupied-washing cars, swapping tyres, getting down and dirty under cars for repairs. He was so busy, he didn't even have time to take a sip of water.
In this vast auto repair shop tonight, it seemed like Joshua was the only one around. Around eleven, after bidding farewell to the last customer, Joshua didn't bother to look at Isabelle. He just said, "We're closing

Then, he went to wash his hands.

Chapter 318 He Didn't Buy Her Lies:
Isabelle drove the car out of the auto repair shop.
When Joshua came out, Isabelle rolled down the car window and said, "Get in."
Joshua didn't get in.
"Stubborn," Isabelle muttered as she drove to catch up with him.

After following him like this for a few minutes, Joshua couldn't stand it anymore and got into the car.
Isabelle remarked. "Wouldn't it have been better if you got in earlier?"
Joshua asked her, "Do I know you?"
"You don't know me, and I don't know you," Isabelle replied.
Joshua retorted, "So, are you pitying me? I don't need it."
Isabelle countered, "You accepted Mr. Magnus's kindness, didn't you?"
Joshua fell silent.
Seeing his lack of response, Isabelle glanced at his hands, which were covered in black oil stains.
"My younger brother used to be a lot like you. He was bullied a lot because of a limp, but he's much happier now," she shared.
"Even kids from wealthy families can be bullied? They can also have illnesses that can't be cured?" Joshua's expression remained cold.
"We weren't wealthy before. Isabelle revealed.
Joshua looked at her as if waiting for her to continue.
"We're not close, so why should I tell you?" Isabelle replied curtly.
Joshua felt like he was being played, and his expression turned even colder.
"I heard from your mother that you have an older brother who's six years older than you and was abducted. If you had the means, would you try to find him?" Isabelle asked.
"We're not close," Joshua replied.
"You're narrow-minded, Isabelle remarked.
Isabelle drove Joshua home, but before she reached the house, she stopped the car in front of a small shop that sold noodles.

"After driving you such a long way, would it be too much to ask you to treat me to a late-night snack?" Isabelle suggested.
Joshua was about to step into the alley after getting out of the car, halted in his tracks.
Even though the noodles here were the real deal, the joint was just a humble shop. But even so, for Joshua, who comegled to have these meals a day shelling out ten bucks for a bowl of noodles wang a hirers he

couldn't afford.
Isabelle placed an order.

Joshua didn't order. He whipped out a worn-out phone he had snagged from the second-hand market, paid for Isabelle, and turned to leave right after.
Isabelle stopped him, saying. "That's pretty rude."
Joshua clenched his fist briefly, gritted his teeth, and then reluctantly took a seat opposite Isabelle.
When he returned, Isabelle had ordered a bowl for him.
As the two bowls of noodles arrived, Isabelle pushed one towards him, saying. "It's only fair to reciprocate. If you don't eat, it's a waste."
With that, she started eating on her own.
Joshua glanced at the tempting noodles in front of him, then at her. His hand tightened slightly under the table.
After a moment, he picked up his chopsticks and started to eat, lowering his head.
"I can tutor you for free, Isabelle suddenly offered. "Studying with my notes will be much more efficient than doing it alone. It could save you a lot of time.
Joshua, however, was wary of this offer with unclear motives. "We don't know each other."
"Mr. Magnus said that if I make some contribution to the school with my grade again, I could be elected as an outstanding alumnus of Taragon University after graduation," Isabelle casually remarked. Joshua didn't buy it at all.
She drove a car worth millions, surrounded herself with influential people, and yet cared about such titles?
