Sue was a smart woman and quickly understood what Kathy meant.
A lightning marriage meant that they still didn’t have a strong relationship.
“Doctor Joseph is a good man. You must seize the chance.”
Alexia said so too.
Kathy seemed a bit sullen. She often felt uncertain about their relationship just because Joseph was so
outstanding.
It was normal to drink wine in a dinner party. However, Joseph poured juice into Kathy’s glass. Sue
tried to stop him but in vain.
“Nice try. Joseph cares about her a lot,” Lincoln said teasingly with his long legs crossed.
“It’s OK. I can drink some with your friends.” Kathy frowned. Everyone drank. Although she was a
wimpy drinker, she could still take a sip or two.
“Anyway, Joseph will take you home if you’re drunk.” Sue blinked at Kathy.
Kathy flushed slightly. She did not dare to get drunk.
“Only one sip,” Joseph said seriously with a straight face.
“Kathy, Joseph is so strict with you. Are you preparing for pregnancy?” Kathy had just taken a sip and
almost spat it out.
Pregnancy …
She immediately shook her head, “Joseph and I don’t want a baby now.”
“You’ve been married for a year, Joseph. Didn’t your grandpa press you to have one?”
“It’s not up to him,” Joseph said in a deep voice.
“Don’t let Kathy wait too long.”
“You talk too much, Sue. Enjoy your wine!” Lincoln handed a glass of wine to Sue.
Sue was dissatisfied and involuntarily leaned against Lincoln. The moment they touched each other,
they burnt with passion.
But when they were about to kiss, Sue stopped.
She pushed Lincoln away and staggered out while supporting the wall.
She seemed to want to vomit. Kathy went to support her and said to them, “We need to go to the
bathroom.”
Walking out of the private room, Sue smiled and leaned against the wall. She took out a pack of
cigarettes.
She was very hot. With a cigarette in her slender white finger, she looked even more charming.
She was born as a beauty.
“It’s not good for girls to smoke.” Kathy frowned.
Sue smiled, “Only nicotine can make me calm down.”
Kathy recalled the time when Lincoln hugged Sue. Lincoln said he was single. But just now they
seemed quite intimate. She looked at Sue in confusion.
“Are you a wimpy drinker?” Sue asked her.
“Yes, I’m.”
“You should learn from me. Women must be a good drinker and smoker. Otherwise, they treat you
badly,” Sue said seriously.
Kathy smiled. She wasn’t objected to that. But it was the first time she had heard that.
They were totally different. She was arrogant, beautiful, and attractive.
“Not always. You can stay away from something for your whole life, so that you won’t be addicted to it,”
Kathy said calmly.
Sue narrowed her eyes, “You’re a good girl.”
“I used to follow the rules, but later I realized that it was useless. Even though I was easily satisfied,
sometimes I was still blamed by others for no reason.
“You must try your best to get what you want, including a man.”
Just as Sue wanted to take another puff on the cigarette, Lincoln come out.
“I told you to give up smoking!” Lincoln’s face darkened with anger.
Sue laughed, “Why should I listen to you?”
“You are mine!” Lincoln grabbed her arms.
However, Sue pushed him away. “Not now.”
The party did not last long. Sue drank a lot but was not drunk. Instead, Lincoln got drunk.
Under Joseph’s supervision, Kathy almost didn’t drink wine. However, Joseph drank a little, so Kathy
drove him home.
Although Joseph had a chauffeur, he usually drove the car himself when they went out.
Kathy also preferred to be alone with Joseph.
Before getting out of the car, Joseph held onto her hand. He was not drunk at all, and his eyes were
sober.
Kathy looked at him. Suddenly, Joseph kissed her. And her entire body was pressed against the seat,
unable to move.
“Joseph ...” She frowned as she felt that he was touching her.
She could smell the smell of the cigarette and alcohol. A sense of displeasure spread in her eyes.
“Huh?” Joseph stopped. He held her hand and took out a file bag from the drawer with the other hand.
She looked at him in confusion.
“I’ve already contacted your supervisor in charge of your thesis five years ago. Tomorrow, bring this to
her.”
Kathy’s eyes sparkled with joy. She didn’t expect that Joseph would be able to help her.
The file bag meant a lot for her.
“Joseph, how did you make it?” She asked excitedly.
She and Alexia had been trying to contact her supervisor for a long time but failed. However, Joseph
made it.
Although she knew that Joseph wasn’t an ordinary man, Kathy was still very surprised.
“All you need to know is that if you were framed back then, I will definitely vindicate you.”
She always trusted him.
“Thank you.”
“How?” His charming dark eyes narrowed.
Her heart beat faster. As she was in a daze, Joseph started to kiss her again. It seemed that he was
going to make out with her here in the car.
Kathy couldn’t refuse him. Fortunately, it was a separate parking lot, but Kathy was still very nervous …
…
The next afternoon, Kathy visited her supervisor on time according to the address Joseph gave to her.
Kathy was a little nervous before her former supervisor Hannah.
Back then, she had read her thesis, but she didn’t attend the thesis defense.
“Kathy?” Hannah stood up. She still remembered Kathy.
Kathy was a top student in the class, and she was satisfied with her thesis.
However, Kathy got into trouble because of the thesis. She retired later, and that matter was left
unsettled.
“Ms. Hannah, you still remember me?” Kathy’s eyes turned red.
“Of course. Sit down, please. I’ve been living abroad since I retired. Recently I came back to visit my
relatives. Mr. Joseph found me and said that your diploma has been detained.”
“Yes. My thesis was swapped out that year. Those teachers got the fake thesis in the thesis defense.
Therefore, I hope you can prove to the university that you had read my thesis, my thesis was checked,
and the one those teachers read in the thesis defense wasn’t mine.”
Hannah frowned, “It’s a very complicated issue. I can only give it a try. Who would do this to you?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t offend anyone in college. I just want to prove my innocence and get my diploma
back, so that I can study for a master’s degree.”
That was the most important thing for her. As for the one who framed her, she already had her answer,
but she had no evidence.
