“Was it you who caused the incident last night?” Billy approached Herbert and pinched her chin with an
ice-cold look on his face.
Herbert looked innocent, “What did I do?”
“Kathy was in danger last night.” Billy stared at Herbert.
Herbert frowned and pushed Billy away. “Although I don’t like her, I wouldn’t want to hurt her.”
Billy grabbed her shoulder, making her unable to move. Billy was using more and more strength, and
the pain caused Herbert’s expression to change.
“Billy, why are you asking me if you don’t believe my words?” Herbert said angrily.
Billy sneered, “I’m still investigating. If it’s really you, Herbert, then this is the end of our relationship.”
“No!” Herbert immediately retorted, “Billy, we had an agreement. You can’t desert me like this!”
“Nobody can stop me from doing what I want. Herbert, you are just a nonentity. Don’t think that you are
so important to me,” Billy said indifferently as he turned around and sat down on the sofa.
The unfathomable expression on his face made it difficult for Herbert to guess what he was thinking.
Herbert bit her lips and couldn’t help trembling. After a while, she approached Billy and sat beside him.
“No matter what, I will marry you.”
“Don’t you love Peter anymore? Have you given up on him?” Billy suddenly pinched her shoulder.
Herbert smiled and said, “I am too good for him. Billy only we are a perfect couple.”
After saying that, she approached Billy, trying to kiss this handsome man beside her.
He pushed her away and said calmly, “You are a snobbish woman, but I don’t hate it.”
…
In the evening, the afterglow shone on Kathy’s petite figure.
Joseph held the woman in his arms, kissing her on the forehead.
When he tried to stand up, Kathy moaned and hugged him even more tightly.
The man slowly pulled out his hands and walked out of the room. John had already been waiting for
him.
“What did you find?” Joseph sat down on the sofa.
John looked down and said in a deep voice, “The man’s name was David. He was a terminal cancer
patient. He had sent his wife and daughter abroad before he died. During the six months in the
hospital, he did not contact with anyone. However, I found his phone records. He had contact with an
oversea number recently. We are still searching for detailed information now.”
“I just want the results,” Joseph said coldly, “You still have one day.”
John nodded. After John left, Joseph leaned against the sofa, looking extremely serious.
Kathy slept until night. After she woke up, Joseph quickly send someone to deliver dinner to her. Then
she took a bath, which made her feel much more comfortable.
After all, what happened last night had left her a trauma.
“Where is that person now?” Kathy asked.
She remembered that she saw John subdue him before she got in the car. Then … what did John do
afterwards?
“He is at the police station.” Joseph did not tell Kathy that the person was dead.
“Can you find out who was behind this?” Kathy’s hands trembled. She remembered that when she
asked the man, he did not deny that it was Peter who asked him to do so.
“He didn’t say anything,” Joseph said in a deep voice.
Kathy frowned, “At that time, I thought it could be Peter who did this, and the man didn’t deny it.”
“You think it’s him?” Joseph raised his eyebrows.
“He said he hated me.” Kathy looked down and her voice became cold.
She could understand why Peter hated her, but what he believed was not the truth at all.
“I’ll keep an eye on him,” Joseph said seriously. Then he looked at Kathy gently, “Don’t worry about it.
Leave this matter to me.”
Kathy smiled and said, “I’ve caused you trouble again.”
“It was my fault. I failed to protect you.”
Kathy smiled. His thoughtfulness always made her feel at ease.
“I think I left my phone at the Hilton’s.” Kathy suddenly remembered.
Just as she finished speaking, someone knocked at the door. It was Billy.
Kathy looked at Joseph, and then she went to open the door.
Seeing her blocking the door, Billy was a little unpleased. “Aren’t you going to let me in?”
“Did you see my phone?” Kathy ignored his words and asked directly.
Billy smiled and said playfully. “If I say I didn’t, will you close the door?”
After hearing that, Kathy immediately closed the door.
She didn’t want to talk to him.
However, Billy’s hand blocked the door before it was fully closed. “Your phone is broken. I brought you
a new one.”
Kathy frowned doubtfully.
“Your phone has fallen into the water. There’s no way to save it. This is the new phone I bought for you.
I also got you a new SIM card.” Billy handed over a box.
Kathy did not take it. Behind her, Joseph walked over elegantly.
“Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Hilton. But I will buy Kathy a new phone,” Joseph said indifferently.
Billy smiled and said, “I broke Kathy’s phone. No matter what, I have to compensate her. If you don’t
want this phone, I’ll treat you to dinner.”
Kathy said impatiently, “Thank you, but I don’t need it.”
Then she shut the door.
Joseph pressed her against the door and stared at her.
“You haven’t told me why you went to the Hilton’s?” Joseph asked.
“Mrs. Hilton invited me.” Kathy looked down.
She didn’t tell him before because she didn’t want Joseph to misunderstand her.
“How come you left your phone there?” Joseph asked in a deep voice.
Kathy recalled the scene from last night, but she really couldn’t remember when she lost her phone.
She barely took her phone out of the bag. And the bag was put aside by the servant as soon as she
entered the Hilton’s.
She didn’t touch her phone in the house.
Then how did her phone fall into the water?
She didn’t think too much just now, but now that Joseph reminded her, she finally realized it.
“Could it be Billy?”
“Who else went there yesterday?” Joseph asked.
“Billy picked me up at the airport. Then I had been talking to Jennifer for the whole time. And then …
Herbert came over.”
“Keep an eye on her in the future.” Joseph’s face was very gloomy.
Kathy nodded. She had never had any good impression on Herbert.
“So, are you really here because of me this time?” Kathy looked up at Joseph, her eyes shining.
Joseph nodded, and hugged her. He said intimately, “Who else can make me leave my work?”
Kathy flushed, “But there are a lot of things to do in the Joseph’s Group, right?”
Joseph always had to work overtime. Wouldn’t it be inconvenient for him to handle things here?
“The Joseph’s Group also has a branch office in B City. There is no problem.”
“Whatever you say.” Kathy smiled. Then she stood on tiptoe and kissed Joseph’s thin
lips.
