Did the male lead change his ways today?

When the Carpenters just apologized lightly for what Anna did to Jojo, and then mentioned Dio and Anna's marriage as if nothing had happened, Dio couldn't believe his ears.

……Excuse me?

Dio thought he'd be able to watch a good show, like what kind of lies the Carpenters would make up to defend that little cousin, or Jojo's cousin lost because of something stupid his own sister did to meet Jojo again Opportunity.He doesn't care what the Carpenters do, he'll be happy as long as it makes Jojo suffer, but—

What kind of lunatic would ask that criminal to be engaged to him at this time?

Did his gentle attitude towards Anna give her some illusion?If it wasn't for dealing with Jojo, he wouldn't even look at that stupid girl more.He remembered that he had clearly humiliated the other party at the end, why did she have such a short memory?

Even Jojo is smarter than her!At least she even kept her dog away from him after realizing his hostility towards her.

"Mr. Carpenter asked me to bring you a message. He thinks you are a very good child, and Anna also has a good impression of you. If you have no objection, he hopes that your two children can get married in the future. He proposed to give Anna Offering a dowry of [-] pounds, I think love is more important than money, but I still need to respect your opinion, so what do you think, Dior?"

Dio swears that after George asked Dio's opinion on the matter, it took nearly all of his willpower to keep from punching that face.

No, at this time, shouldn't we first talk about the punishment of that girl?Ask him if he wants to get married?If it was him in the slums, the pretense of twenty-five thousand pounds would undoubtedly be a very attractive proposition. He could even marry an old woman for the money, and then find a way to make her death seem like an accident and inherit her inheritance. heritage.

But it is obviously impossible now, he is now the adopted son of the Joestar family, the most hopeful person to inherit George's title.What did the Carpenters think they were?Fuck him with an unintelligent and unattractive girl?

Don't get me wrong, he doesn't really care what girls look like, he just hates idiots.After all, there are not many people who can be more beautiful than him, including Jojo.If someone else were to do a fair judgment, everyone would think that he is better looking than Jojo, his eyelashes are longer, his nose bridge is straighter, besides not having feminine features...hell, why does he compare beauty with Jojo !

"But our focus now is that she hurt Jojo, what price will she pay for it?"

Dio pulled up a smile, concealing the arrogance and disdain in his heart, and tried his best to make his refusal reasonable, "I'm sorry, father, no matter how rich her dowry is, I'm not the object of my consideration, please forgive me for not marrying her." A girl with such a moral deficiency."

He guessed that George, the man, had softened his heart because of the old cousin's pleading. After all, it was really impossible for them to take Jojo's cousin to court, hang her to death, or cut off one of her hands.Mr. Carpenter probably wants to use a dowry to silence them. As long as Dior is willing to marry Anna, Sir Joestar will definitely not be able to continue to pursue their daughter's responsibility. This matter will pass like this. It is really a good plan .

This is a good opportunity to provoke Qiao Qiao and her father... He can completely accept this engagement, and then use it to disgust Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao will lose trust in her father, and then their relationship will drop to a freezing point. Be a good son, everything in the plan will go very smoothly...

But he didn't want to do it.

They're a little bit over the top.Dio does not allow anyone to take advantage of him, not to mention how could he marry a girl who is not as good as Jojo?

...wait, is he using Jojo as a point of reference for comparison?

Dio was stunned suddenly, even he himself felt a little unbelievable.Would he care about that rude, boar-like naive chick?What a joke!It is unacceptable!

"Is this true, Dio?"

However, while Dio was stunned, Jojo suddenly interrupted him.

She looked at him in great surprise, with a face that almost didn't recognize him, which made Dio feel a little unhappy inexplicably.

"... Sure, you look like you want to share your thoughts?"

When Dio came back to his senses, he squinted his eyes and looked at her, observing the changes in her expression.

"No, I'm just a little surprised."

Joannes moved her head guiltily, she thought that Dior would not let go of every opportunity that could torture her, and even she realized, what reason did he have for not accepting such a good thing?After all, it wasn't him who was pushed off the barrel...

Although she felt that Dior's excuses were fake, he was not this kind of person!But Joannes still thanked him for not agreeing to the engagement, otherwise Anna would have escaped the punishment she would accept.

"Out of respect for my sister and brother-in-law, I convey their opinions to you. I will not force you. In fact, your choice impresses me. Thank you, Dior."

George nodded, his eyes softened a lot, "I see, I will tell them your decision."

"Yes, father."

Dio straightened his back proudly, secretly looking at Jojo from the corner of his eyes.

She seemed relieved.Was she really bothered by those things?Thinking of this, Dio was vaguely happy.

Then George left the house, and he didn't come back until the evening, but for some reason, George's face looked a little dignified.

When Joannes hesitated to ask about the situation, George locked himself in the study without saying a word. Only Robert, the housekeeper who accompanied him, told what happened at that time.

The Carpenters are dismayed by the outcome of George, as Dior rejects the engagement.It also meant that Anna couldn't escape her punishment, and Petunia did what she did in the past, crying for George to reconsider and not send her daughter to court.

"Anna is still young! She doesn't know what she has done! George, you are such a tolerant person, give us another chance!"

"Sorry, Petunia, Jojo is right. Apart from credit issues, this is also about a child's future. We can't condone children's mistakes, which will make them grow into real criminals in the end."

But George didn't soften his heart any more, because he promised Jojo that someone would have to bear the price for the mistakes they made, otherwise they would become a very bad example as parents.

"No! Can't I apologize to Jojo?! I really won't do that again! I regret it! Please, Uncle!"

Only then did Anna realize that she was afraid, and she cried and argued that she didn't do it on purpose, it was just an accident.Her brother Willie has always looked at her with disgust, hating her for ruining his future.

Looking at George, who was frowning deeper and deeper, Mr. Carpenter, a businessman, was very shrewd. After he realized that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, he quickly pulled a flattering smile.

"Of course, you're right. It's all because I've been in business all the time, and I don't have time to discipline my daughter. I didn't expect her to be so absurd as to do such a thing..."

Mr. Carpenter decided to take the bottom line. Of course, the interests of the family are more important at this time, and no one wants to offend a decent nobleman.He stated that the Carpenter family would disown Anna, that she would be stripped of her surname, and that George would decide on her punishment.

It's still tricky, because what can George do?If it were his own, he would forgive everyone who hurt him.But this is related to Qiao Qiao. He also has an agreement with Qiao Qiao, but he can't be too cruel to his sister and daughter, so finally at the end of the family meeting, they finally agreed on the decision to send Anna to a charity school.

This is equivalent to being expelled from the family. After being given up by the family, there will be no more dowry and marriage. In the future, she will only be able to work in some low-level jobs. She will not be invited to any balls, and she will bid farewell to a decent life.

Even though Dio felt the punishment was too light, he swore he saw a gleam of sympathy in JoJo's eyes.

Really?To be soft-hearted towards the enemy, she is really a spoiled and innocent girl...

Then Joannes nodded. She looked very disturbed, but said very seriously to Mr. Robert, the housekeeper, "It's fair, I accept this result."

It is unacceptable at all!Dio couldn't help roaring in his heart. In fact, he couldn't understand why he was so dissatisfied. It was obviously not his business, but the softness shown by Jojo was really irritating.She is too tolerant of others!

But even so, he is still willing to appreciate her pain and enjoy his triumphant moments.So when Joannes sat down on the sofa thoughtfully while maintaining a heavy mood, he came to Jojo's side, put his hands on her shoulders, and grinned triumphantly.

"She deserved it, Jojo, but what would your cousin Willie think? Oh, he probably doesn't care about his stupid sister, but hates her for losing his chance to be the heir to the Joestar family .”

"What are you talking about? Dior? Why did Willy inherit our family fortune?"

Joannes widened her eyes suddenly, she turned to look at Dio, her eyes were full of confusion.

She really doesn't know anything!Dio thought with a sneer.Since they sent Anna away, it means that George will still keep in touch with the Carpenter family.Qiao Qiao's aunt finally decided to give up her daughter for the benefit of her son. They probably thought that they had made a great sacrifice, and that little bastard would try her best to please Qiao Qiao and trick her.

But he, Dior, would not give them this chance, he would kill all possibilities at the first sign.

Qiaoqiao has no defense against men. She has no idea what benefits those people can get from her. He must educate her well to ensure that she does not make mistakes.

"Oh, poor Jojo, how innocent she is."

Dio shook his head, his smile became more and more dramatic, "Don't you understand? They were willing to send that girl away just to give that boy a chance to marry you, and then your cousin Willy and your child Son, you can inherit your father's title and get the property of the Joestar family."
