Chapter 419

“Be a good girl,” Zachary insisted. I went upstairs to take my phone, but I felt melancholy. When I scrolled to Joshua’s contact, I still felt timid! I was afraid of Joshua. Among Zachary’s companions, Joshua held the greatest hostility against me. He talked to me with cynicism every single time. I gathered my courage and made the call, but the line was busy. Then, I remembered that he blocked my number a long time ago. I went downstairs and told Zachary about it. He still insisted on calling Joshua, so he passed me his phone instead. “The password is your birthday.” His phone’s password was my birthday! I smiled and asked in surprise, “Since when did you change it?” He squinted at me. “Go do your business,” he ordered. “Must I be the one to call him?” “It’s an urgent matter.” Even if it was an urgent matter, why call him on such short notice? I lowered my gaze and looked at his pale white and slender fingers. Suddenly, I realized. He deliberately instructed me to call Joshua on purpose! He knew Joshua and I had some misunderstandings, even though it was not really one. After all, I was the one to blame for the whole fiasco. Even after so long, Joshua still held his grievances against me. Zachary wanted Joshua and me to reconcile! I finally understood Zachary’s intention. I immediately took his phone and went outside to make the call. I entered the password and looked for Joshua’s contact. Martti once said, if Joshua still did not want to forgive me, there was no need to force myself. However, Joshua was still Zachary’s brother, and Zachary’s my beloved. I did not want Zachary to be stuck in between us. Moreover, Zachary already gave a clear instruction! I only hesitated for a while before I called Joshua. Perhaps it was Zachary’s number, so Joshua picked up really fast. He even said “Second Brother” in a happy tone. I responded softly, “Third Brother.” Joshua asked in surprise, “Why is it you?” I explained gently, “Second Brother instructed me to call you. He mentioned some urgent matters at the European Region that you will need to settle later.” Joshua only hummed in response. There was a long awkward pause between us. I felt guilty, so I did not dare to initiate a conversation. Joshua felt it would be pointless if the silence continued. He took the initiative and asked, “Second Brother always gave me his instructions personally. Now that he asked you to pass the message… Do you know what his intentions are?” Joshua felt that I framed Zachary. I gave it a thought before I explained, “Third Brother, I’m not quite sure what you think of me, but I swear I treat Second Brother with sincerity… At that time, you felt I was the one who framed Second Brother, but I was also stunned! Maybe you wouldn’t believe this, but actually, I’m the Schick family’s real bloodline. It was my father, Forde Schick, who controlled his plan to send me back to the Schick family!” Joshua was shocked. “You are Forde Schick’s daughter?” “That’s right. I wanted to tell you about this back then, but you never believed me, no matter what I said. Moreover, you didn’t give me a chance! Third Brother, I didn’t want anything from Zachary, nor dared to want it. Just because I didn’t want it, it didn’t mean I could reject it! Besides, you know Zachary well. He would let go of anything that didn’t belong to him quickly. At that time, I… Sorry, Third Brother.” I was overwhelmed and explained the whole story to Joshua. In the end, I did not know what else could I say. Joshua fell into a short silence before he suddenly asked me, “Then, do you know who are Second Brother’s biological parents?” Did Joshua know about it?
