In the study.
Joseph looked at the photos on Weibo with a gloomy expression.
After John found out he immediately took down this Weibo post, however it was not long after, that
another account started to post them again, and this time many people had already forwarded the
photographs on.
The woman being held by Bertie in the picture was Kathy.
Then at this moment Joseph received a phone call from Lincoln.
“Joseph, tonight I will be going to Europe to help you keep an eye on things. If there is no unforeseen
mishap then I don’t plan to return.”
“Alright, go and take Sue with you.” Joseph’s tone of voice made him seem very resentful.
Lincoln naturally knew why Joseph was being like this.
Sue had been misleading Bertie into thinking that his fiancée was Kathy, and this was something that
Joseph had consented to, however rather reluctantly.
This was to not only leave and keep away from the Fletcher family in the future but to also for at least a
short period of time not attract the attention of the Marshall family.
Therefore Bertie currently thinks that Kathy is Sue, which will in turn make Sue’s departure run a lot
more smoothly.
“Relax, any woman that has feelings for you will definitely never develop any interest in someone like
Bertie, I believe in my sister-in-law.” Lincoln assured him.
Joseph hung up the phone rather blankly and then went over to the bedroom only to discover that
Kathy was not there.
He looked at his mobile phone and saw an unread message.
“Joseph, I’ve gone out for a little while, I promise to come back soon.”
The man’s face darkened and he immediately shouted to John, “I want my wife’s whereabouts!”
At the Hill club.
The moment that Sue arrived, Lincoln’s car had just stopped behind her at the same time.
He then quickly went over to her, grabbed her and said, “Sue, what do you want to do!”
“I want to explain clearly to Bertie that he is not to bother Kathy anymore!” Sue said rather stubbornly.
From the start she had chosen to believe what Lincoln said to her, which had now made the situation
Kathy was in so awkward.
She regretted it.
She really wanted to be together with Lincoln, however when she fell in love with him she had to
mentally prepare herself long before. However, this path was perhaps becoming too difficult to
continue, and one day she may have no choice but to give up in the end.
She was able to accept any outcome.
“You are at your safest now because Bertie is willing to pursue Kathy.”
Lincoln only had eyes for Sue.
He absolutely must leave together safely with her.
“Lincoln, we can’t be so selfish. Kathy was willing to help me but I don’t want to cause her any harm.”
“Joseph and her are doing very well together, what kind of trouble do you think that Bertie will really be
able to cause?” Lincoln narrowed his eyes.
Sue was quiet, since she too was thinking this way.
However she still felt uneasy inside.
“Come back with me, if you choose to reveal everything now then it won’t be so easy to leave
tomorrow.” Lincoln said coldly.
The man pulled at Sue rather strongly to sit in the car, and over at the entrance Kathy had already gone
inside.
She dialed Sue’s phone number.
“I’ve arrived, have you seen Bertie yet, where are you…”
A soon as the voice fell, Lincoln immediately snatched Sue’s phone and turned it off.
“You!”
Sue stared at him angrily.
However the man just stepped hard on the accelerator pedal and the car quickly sped away.
“Miss, who are you looking for?” An attendant took the initiative to ask Kathy.
“Sue.”
“I’m sorry I already checked, but we have no guest here tonight under the name of Sue.”
Kathy frowned, and once again dialed Sue’s phone number; however it appeared that her phone was
turned off.
She then clicked on the text message that Sue had sent her half an hour ago that said -- Bertie is at the
Hill Club, let’s go to explain everything to him.
This was definitely the right location.
However since Kathy was unable to contact Sue, and she didn’t want to approach Bertie alone, she
decided to leave the club.
However she hadn’t even gotten inside the elevator yet when she saw the figure of someone she really
didn’t want to see.
Even during the day time Bertie was still wearing full black attire, which suddenly made her
surroundings bitterly cold.
Kathy was stuck to the wall with no way to escape.
“So here is my dear fiancée,” Bertie approached her smiling.
“I am not your fiancée!” Kathy rolled her eyes.
However Bertie was finding this all too amusing.
“Is it such a bad thing to be my fiancée?”
Although the Marshall family hadn’t set up and grown influence within City N, this family was still very
well known within Country B. There were numerous amounts of women who wanted to seek
connections with the Marshall family, however in the end the mother of this family chose Sue.
This woman was a good choice, and even though she kept on repeatedly denying her identity, this for
some reason aroused his interest even more.
He had been thinking about her for a long time.
“Mr. Marshall, I am already married.”
Kathy rose up her hand and showed off the very eye catching wedding ring on her finger.
Bertie’s black eyes narrowed and his whole demeanor suddenly changed.
Although he was no expert in this field, he was still very clear that this ring although was of an ordinary
style, it was definitely priceless and a one in a million.
This was most certainly a wedding ring.
“You are not Sue?” Bertie suddenly held her wrist tightly, his coldness spreading with his touch.
For quite some time now he had always thought that this woman in front of him was trying to play hard
to get.
“Mr. Marshall, Sue is my good friend.” Kathy said quietly.
“And where is she?”
“She…”
“I don’t know.”
At this moment Bertie was feeling very frustrated.
He let go of her coldly.
Kathy then almost ran out of the club, and as she did a black Cayenne car was slowing stopping.
As she recognized that it was Joseph’s car she started to feel a little guilty.
Because she feared that he would be angry she didn’t tell him that she was coming here.
Sure enough as soon as the person stepped out of the car, the atmosphere around them became
tense.
Kathy bit her lip and was a little afraid.
“Joseph…” Her voice was soft and she took the initiative to hold his arm.
However Joseph possessed a frightening look in his eyes, and held her waist quite tightly.
“Did you meet with Bertie?” He asked affirmatively.
Kathy nodded her head, “For all this time he thought I was Sue, however today I really did just want to
explain the truth to him.”
“Hm.”
“Don’t be angry.”
“Hm.”
Kathy frowned, it was clear that he wasn’t just angry.
It was evident that he was extremely furious!
However, she then thought of another serious matter.
“I haven’t been able to get in contact with Sue, do you know if something happened to her?” Kathy
asked worriedly.
“She is doing very well; don’t you know that you were just being used?” Joseph pressed his lips
together thinly.
“What?”
“Sue and Lincoln will be leaving for Europe very soon and won’t be coming back.” Joseph said rather
solemnly.
“Why so anxious to leave?”
“You were the only one kept in the dark about it.”
So it turned out that Bertie mistook her as Sue because someone had misled him before.
And this person was Sue?
Right now to say she was not angry was an understatement.
She could admit that she was willing to help her, however if this was really the case, then it made
sense that Joseph would not agree to this.
And now even she didn’t want to get involved with this matter.
On the second floor, Bertie’s gaze fell onto the entrance of the club through the floor-to-ceiling
windows.
The cigarette in his hand burned, and his dark eyes narrowed.
He never would have thought that this woman was married to Joseph.
His thin lips gradually displayed a rather evil smile.
This was very interesting.
In the car, Kathy was feeling extremely downcast.
"I already said to you long ago that you should not interfere with this matter." Joseph’s face was very
gloomy.
With Bertie’s temperament how was she so willing to let herself be deceived?
“In the end Sue being able to leave smoothly is a good thing. Bertie knows who I am now and therefore
will not try to pester me again.” Kathy looked at him.
