“Don’t forget what you promised me.” Billy reminded her.
Kathy hung up the phone and asked, “How is Mrs. Hilton now?”
“She can’t leave the hospital yet. You can’t agree to her request.” Billy said with a stern face.
Kathy remembered that Mrs. Hilton wanted to recognize her as a goddaughter. She hadn’t told her
mother about that. However, if she agreed to Mrs. Hilton’s request, she would probably have to meet
Billy frequently in the future.
She disliked Billy.
“I won’t agree to her request.”
Kathy said confidently. Billy narrowed his eyes and asked, “It’s because that you don’t want to see me,
isn’t it?”
“Yes.” Kathy did not deny it.
“Why do you think that I am not a patch on Joseph?” Billy asked coldly with his hands in his pockets.
Kathy paid attention to no one but Joseph. Billy envied Joseph.
Kathy frowned and said, “He’s my husband. Billy, you’re nobody for me.”
Indeed, Billy helped her several times. But the relationship between them was nothing more than that.
“I told you before. He married you with purpose.”
“Billy, you can say whatever you want.” Kathy looked at him coldly. She hated this kind of hint the most.
“When your attitude towards me changes, I will tell you.”
“Never mind,” Kathy snapped.
The elevator reached the first floor. As soon as the door opened, they saw Lincoln’s tall figure outside.
Lincoln heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Kathy. If something happened to her, he really didn’t know
how to explain to Joseph.
He was enraged by Peter so he left, but he didn’t expect Kathy to be waiting there for so long.
Lincoln’s face darkened when he saw Billy beside Kathy. He pulled Kathy to his side and asked Billy,
“Why are you here?”
“I saved Mrs. Joseph, or she would be in danger.” Billy said indifferently.
Kathy said to Lincoln, “I’ll go to the hospital now. I’ll go back to City N with you later.”
Lincoln frowned discontentedly and asked, “Why are you going to the hospital? Are you going with
him?”
Lincoln pointed at Billy.
Kathy nodded and said, “I have something to do. I won’t delay for long.”
“Kathy, get in the car.” Billy drove his car and stopped it in front of Kathy.
Lincoln looked at Kathy’s back and immediately called Joseph.
“Dude, do you know you are a cuckold?” Lincoln narrowed his eyes coldly.
“Lincoln, why did you leave her alone?” Joseph’s tone was also extremely cold.
“I didn’t expect that! There are many men coveting your wife!”
Such as Peter, Billy, and… Lincoln was amazed.
“Lincoln, you don’t want to come back, do you?”
“Alright. I’ll wait for your wife now. And I’ll take her back later.”
Lincoln hung up the phone and quickly went to the hospital.
In the ward, Jennifer had just finished her dinner. When she saw Kathy, a smile appeared on her face.
“Kathy, you’re here,” Jennifer said kindly.
Kathy sat down beside Jennifer. She was about to say something, but she couldn’t speak.
She was unconsciously soft with Jennifer.
Billy also came in the ward. Jennifer sensed that Kathy wanted to talk with her, she asked Billy to leave.
Billy looked at Kathy for a while and then he turned and left.
Kathy looked down and said in a low voice, “Mrs. Hilton, I’m sorry.”
Jennifer’s face stiffened. She looked at Kathy and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Kathy was in a panic and immediately supported Jennifer, “Mrs. Hilton…”
“I’m fine. May I know the reason?” Jennifer quickly calmed down. She was usually cool, but now she
was very weak.
“Mrs. Hilton, I volunteered to save you. You are my mother’s friend, my elder, and someone I respect.”
“Looks like you really don’t want to recognize me as a godmother.” Jennifer let out a low sigh, her tone
filled with disappointment apparently.
Kathy’s heart ached, but she was still determined.
“Mrs. Hilton, I will spend more time with you in the future,” Kathy said with concern.
“You are a good girl. I won’t force you. However, you saved me. In return, you can make a request to
me and I will satisfy you.” Jennifer insisted.
Kathy thought for a moment and said, “Thank you, Mrs. Hilton. I’ll make a request to you when it is
needed in the future.”
Kathy left the ward and found Billy and Lincoln outside. The two men’s relationship was obviously very
bad, and neither of them spoke.
Kathy walked to Billy and politely thanked him, “Thank you for helping me tonight.”
“Are you going back?”
Kathy nodded.
Billy looked at Kathy’s back. He heard the conversation between her and Jennifer just now. He pushed
the door open and entered. Jennifer was upset.
“Mom.”
“You asked Kathy to refuse me, didn’t you?” Jennifer sighed.
“Why do you have to do this?” Billy was puzzled.
“I want a daughter.” Jennifer looked down and hid all her emotions.
“Kathy can’t be your daughter,” said Billy coldly.
“You love her?” Jennifer suddenly looked up and asked.
Billy pursed his lips and did not answer.
Jennifer was his mother, and she knew her son too well.
She closed her eyes, and despair flashed in her eyes.
“You can’t love her. I will find a fiancée for you.”
“Mom, you don’t have to worry about my marriage,” said Billy coldly, “And back then, you arranged for
us to go on a blind date, didn’t you?”
Jennifer was silent. She thought that Billy would not be interested in Kathy.
However, things gradually deviated from her expectations.
Outside the hospital, Kathy sat quietly in the car. Lincoln looked at her profile and couldn’t figure out
this woman’s charm.
Her facial features were finely carved, but in their social circle, there were many women who were
more beautiful than her.
“Mr. Fletcher, please don’t look at me like that…” Seeing Lincoln staring at her, Kathy turned her head.
“Does Billy love you?” Lincoln narrowed his eyes.
“Of course he doesn’t,” Kathy retorted.
“I don’t think so. What happened today?”
“I went to Peter’s office and we had a quarrel.” Kathy deliberately hid some details.
She didn’t want to think of these matters.
“Just a quarrel?” Lincoln narrowed his eyes sharply.
“Yes.”
“It’s good that nothing happened. Why did Billy come there?”
“I don’t know. But this wasn’t the first time I saw him in the BT Group.” Kathy frowned.
Were it be that Billy had something to do with the BT Group?
“Billy is the ruler behind the BT Group,” Lincoln said.
Kathy frowned. No wonder that Peter was working in the BT Group.
Peter was going to F Country, but Billy help helped him from behind and helped him take the position of
the general manager of BT Group in City B.
“Two bad man work hand in glove with each other,” Kathy said angrily.
“Then why are you close to Billy?”
“I’m not close to him. My mother and Mrs. Hilton are old friends, so it’s hard for me to avoid meeting
him sometimes.”
“The Hilton family is unfathomable. Since you are a member of the Joseph family, you’d better avoid
them.” Lincoln reminded.
“Is Joseph at odds with Billy?”
“It is worse,” Lincoln sneered and his eyes were filled with malice.
The private plane had arrived long ago. In the dark night, the golden “Joseph” logo shone brightly on
the tail section of the plane
This was Kathy’s first time on such a luxurious plane. So she was not used to it.
Seeing that Lincoln slept beside her, she relaxed. However, she thought of that Peter tried to rape her.
She trembled and woke up from fear.
