After Hannah left, Kathy sat alone in the coffee shop.
Just as she wanted to call Joseph, a man sat in front of her.
It was Billy again!
“Did you follow me?” She looked at him vigilantly.
Billy frowned and pointed at the building across the street. “I work here.”
“I should go now.” Kathy didn’t want to talk with him.
But Billy stopped her and said, “Don’t go. Would you like to come to my house for dinner tonight?”
“Billy, I don’t owe you anything right now,” Kathy said unhappily.
“My mother has just been discharged from the hospital. Now she is going to settle in City N. She wants
to meet you.”
Thinking of Jennifer, Kathy was a bit swayed.
“I’m busy.”
“Are you busy investigating what happened five years ago?” Billy looked at her.
“How did you know?”
“If you want to pursue postgraduate studies, you must obtain your diploma first. The incident five years
ago stirred up the entire educational circle. You were a top student from Boston University. It is very
difficult for you to get rid of such a scandal.”
Kathy’s body trembled slightly. Every time that matter was brought up, she could hardly control herself.
She took a deep breath and turned around. “Billy, what do you mean by that?” said she.
“Maybe I can help you.” Billy narrowed his eyes.
“No need.”
Then, Kathy turned around and decided to go.
Billy’s face darkened, and his black eyes narrowed.
“Don’t you want to know who framed you?” Billy said casually.
“I will find the answer myself,” she stopped and said coldly.
“It will only cause trouble.” Billy warned her.
Kathy left. Through the window, he looked at Kathy’s back with concern.
Half an hour later, Kathy arrived at the Building of the Joseph’s Group.
Kathy had already called Joseph. He was still in a meeting.
So, she waited for him downstairs.
As she checked the news on her phone, she saw the headline news that Jennifer Booth went back
from abroad.
Jennifer was a star in City N many years ago and she retired after she married Mr. Hilton. Although she
had long since retired from the entertainment industry, she always drew people’s attention.
The reporters interviewed Jennifer at the airport. Kathy watched the video and learned that Jennifer
was going to settle in City N.
She still remembered that she had promised to visit her when she was free.
She worried about her.
Joseph showed up soon. The employees were already in off duty, but there were still many of them
passing by.
As Joseph walked towards Kathy, he naturally attracted everyone’s attention.
Kathy was slightly embarrassed, but it was too late to go.
“Have you been waiting for a long time?” He asked with concern.
Kathy shook her head, took Joseph’s arm and walked out with him. “I shouldn’t have come here.”
“Everyone in the Joseph’s Group knows that I’m married.” Joseph looked at her rosy cheeks. One year
after they got married, she was still so shy.
“Even though you’re married, you’re still their dream husband,” Kathy muttered.
Although Joseph was no longer a doctor, the legends about him did not vanish. His identity as
president was also eye-catching.
The support group had been disbanded, but he still had fans.
This was what Alexia had told her.
Joseph smiled and said, “I’m Kathy Kathy’s husband.”
Kathy couldn’t help but laugh.
After getting in the car, Joseph asked her about her appointment with Hannah.
“She has already promised to help me, but how did you find her?” Kathy asked curiously.
“The Joseph family is powerful worldwide. It’s not difficult for us to find anyone or investigate anything.”
“Are you from a detective family?” Kathy was surprised.
Joseph raised his eyebrows, “No.”
“Joseph, your family is so mysterious.”
She had been married to Joseph for a year but had never seen any of his families except Mathew.
“My family is not rooted in City N. At the beginning, they went into politics. Only after my grandfather’s
generation did they go into business.”
“So, it was your plan to take over the Joseph’s Group, right?”
Kathy didn’t know why he submitted his resignation to the hospital at that time.
Obviously, Joseph loved his job as a doctor. Although he was able to make his way in business, she
believed that being a doctor could bring out the best in him.
“Yes.” Joseph’s face darkened slightly.
Kathy sensed the change in his mood, so she asked no more questions.
Three days later, Hannah replied to Kathy. She had already applied to the school for a second thesis
defense. If the application was approved, Kathy would be allowed to defend her thesis again. If she
defended her thesis successfully, she could get her diploma.
Kathy still had the manuscript of her thesis. And Hannah had already verified the authenticity of her
thesis.
Kathy didn’t expect things to go so smoothly. She immediately shared the good news with Alexia.
“Doctor Joseph is great. You must take the shot.” Alexia laughed.
“Joseph helped me a lot. How do you think I should show my gratitude to him?” Kathy asked.
She wanted to give Joseph a gift. She had not given him anything after they got married.
However, Joseph had everything he wanted. Moreover, he had high taste. A good gift for him must be
extremely expensive.
“You’re the best gift for him,” Alexia said teasingly.
Kathy was embarrassed, “Be serious, please!”
“I am serious. You know, a man like Joseph doesn’t need anything, does he?”
That was why Kathy felt perplexed.
“I’ll go to the mall.”
“Good luck. I’m going scuba diving. Bye!” Alexia quickly hung up the phone.
Kathy could tell that she was in a good mood.
She didn’t tell her about Johnson’s suspension.
Joseph was invited to a dinner party that night, so she got the chance to go shopping.
She usually shopped online. After Alexia left City N, she had never gone to the shopping malls.
On the second floor was menswear. As Kathy entered the elevator, she saw an advertisement on the
wall. It was a male model wearing underwear. Many girls peeked at the ad.
Kathy was not interested in it. But when she passed by that store, she was stopped by the clerk. “Miss,
do you want to buy underwear for your boyfriend?” She said.
Kathy paused for a moment and looked around. She had never done this before. How could she know
Joseph’s preferences?
“Miss, this is our latest stretchy underwear. I’ll give you a sample. Let your boyfriend try on it. If he likes
it, you can come here and buy some more.”
Kathy did not say anything. The enthusiastic clerk had already put the sample into Kathy’s hand.
…
Kathy frowned, “What size is this?”
“Large, Miss. You’re tall and slender. I guess your boyfriend must be very strong, right?”
Strong?
Kathy blushed slightly. That was true.
The clerk was very sensitive. She knew Kathy felt a bit embarrassed. So, she gave her another sample
and said, “Here is an X-large one. Our products are great. I promise! Remember to come here and buy
some more, OK?”
