“Joseph’s Group… oh, these few models are all new drugs from the Joseph’s Group? Just this morning
our professor was telling about how amazing these models of drugs are…” Zofia exclaimed.
She didn’t know these models of drugs were developed by the Joseph’s Group.
“Hospitals were now fighting over these drugs, and most of the pharmacies were out of stock,” Zofia
continued.
Kathy frowned. She knew these models of drugs well since she was in the R&D team with Joseph.
These were the drugs Joseph started to develop five years ago. Now they caused such a sensation
when they finally hit the market.
“Were these drugs really that amazing?” she asked.
“Of course. These drugs were widely praised since it was Joseph who led the development team.
Furthermore, these models were tested overseas and received great feedback, that’s why everyone is
fighting over them as soon as they hit the domestic market,” Zofia analyzed and explained.
“You used to work for the Joseph’s Group, right? Don’t you know about these drugs?” Zofia looked at
Kathy.
“I did work in the development team under Joseph, but I didn’t get to know too much inside news.”
Kathy shook her head. She wasn’t one of the main developers in the team back then.
“Oh man, I should’ve bought some Joseph’s Group stocks. I would’ve been earning hand over fist
now.” Zofia sighed.
Kathy smiled. “Miss Marshall doesn’t seem to me like someone who’s short of money.”
“Bullshit. I paid for all my college fees since I don’t want to keep rely on my family. The Marshall family
is nowhere near how wealthy it used to be, we almost went bankrupt a few years ago. We would have
made it through if it wasn’t for the Booth family’s help,” Zofia said.
It was the toughest time for the Marshall family, and it was Bertie Marshall who carried the fate of the
whole family on his shoulders.
“Everything’s okay now.” Kathy consoled her.
Even though it hadn’t been long she associated with Zofia, Kathy got the picture of what kind a person
she was.
She was cordial and friendly instead of being cocky like what most people would expect from a girl
coming from a rich family.
“Yeah, I hope I can help share my brother’s burden soon. He is the one who has been supporting me
that I can study medicine now,” Zofia replied.
Suddenly, Zofia’s phone rang. It was Veronica.
“What? You’re in Ocean University? Why didn’t you tell me you’re coming?” Zofia.
“I’m just here to settle some stuff. Want to hang out?” Veronica.
“Sure. Where are you?” Zofia.
“Right in front of your dorm.” Veronica.
Zofia frowned, looking at Kathy.
She heard a knock at the door.
“Veronica is here,” hanging up the phone, Zofia said to Kathy.
Kathy was expressionless.
Zofia opened the door with a fidget heart. As expected, Veronica’s face darkened a little when she saw
Kathy.
But her emotion wasn’t as strong as before anymore.
“I didn’t know you stay with Kathy.” Veronica frowned.
“The college management arranged this. Let’s go.” Zofia didn’t let Vernica go inside.
“Can I have a look inside? I’m envious cause I can’t get into college.”
With that said, Veronica rolled herself into the dorm on her wheelchair.
Zofia walked alongside her, still worried.
But Veronica was calm. She even stopped by Kathy as she went in.
“Thank you for taking care of me back then when I was hospitalized,” she said.
Kathy turned around, looked into her sincere gaze and replied, “It was my duty.”
When they left the dorm, Zofia was still in a daze.
She thought Veronica would definitely be mad, but she didn’t.
“Zofia, why didn’t you tell me you’re staying with Kathy?” Veronica sounded displeased.
“I feel it wasn’t necessary…” Zofia.
“You thought I would rant at you like a psycho?” Veronica.
“Of course not!” Zofia shook her head.
“Don’t worry. She is now divorced with my brother, and I don’t really hate her that much,” Veronica said
lightly.
……
In the evening, Kathy got an unexpected call from Mathew.
“Grandpa,” Kathy called him the way she gotten used to, but immediately came to her senses. “Erm, I
mean, Math…”
Mathew cut her off. “Just call me grandpa. Kathy, it’s my 80th birthday the day after tomorrow, I want
you to come to the party.”
“Grandpa, I don’t think it’s appropriate…” Kathy replied.
She cut ties with the Joseph family since she divorced Joseph.
“I missed you. The invitation letter is on the way, don’t turn me down,” Mathew said.
Kathy fell silent.
She had always liked and respected Mathew.
But she would definitely bump into Joseph if she were to attend Mathew’s party.
And, instead of repelling it, she was actually kind of looking forward to it.
It was Saturday the next day. Kathy went to the Joseph’s Group’s laboratory as usual.
For the past few days, the news reporters had been gathering in front of the Joseph’s Group’s front
gate. As she got off the car, she saw that man amongst the crowd from afar.
Subconsciously, Kathy halted.
Her gaze fell on Joseph’s good-looking face. There were so many people in the crowd, but she was
looking at him and only him.
He was wearing a white shirt and a black slack, his aura was outstanding amongst the crowd, elegant
and noble.
But Kathy felt she was not familiar with this man at all.
His method must be malicious to be able to destroy the Herbert’s Group and the Hilton’s Group
overnight, and brought the Joseph’s Group to secure the position of No.1 enterprise in City N.
Before this, Kathy had only known Joseph as merely a doctor.
Even though he had become the president of the Joseph’s Group’s for some time, deep down. Kathy
had always seen him as a doctor.
But now, everything seemed to change.
His status was now a president, which made her feel he was further away from her.
Kathy finally moved on and entered the Joseph’s Group building.
But just when she got into the lift, Joseph followed her in.
Some senior executives were following him attentively.
Upon seeing Kathy, Joseph flashed his gaze across her face.
Seeing Joseph entered the lift, everyone else stood outside and waited for the next lift.
There were only Kathy and Joseph in the lift.
There was not much space, Kathy could distinctly sense the familiar scent from Joseph.
As if the scent had never left.
Seeing Joseph seemed to be moving towards her, Kathy backed off subconsciously. “Don’t you come
near me.”
Joseph looked at her.
There was an unfathomable emotion in his eyes.
“You haven’t pressed the button,” he reminded.
Kathy was embarrassed. “Oh, he was going for the button…” she thought.
“You have anything to tell me?” Seeing Kathy a bit nervous, Joseph moved even closer to her.
“What do you want me to say?” Kathy looked at him innocently.
“Didn’t you keep looking at me just now at the front gate?” Joseph’s lips curled.
It lasted about five minutes.
Kathy went speechless.
“You were blocking my way, I couldn’t get in.” She made up an excuse.
“Oh yeah?” Joseph raised his eyebrows and moved in on Kathy, then raised his arms and boxed her in.
Surrounded by Joseph’s scent, Kathy felt her chin lifted by Joseph. She was forced to look into his
eyes.
“Stop this, Joseph.” Kathy’s gaze turned fierce.
She didn’t want to stay so close to him…
