"I'm going to sleep, or are you going to sleep next to me and watch me too?" Kathy got on the bed by
herself and looked at Billy indifferently.
Billy was a meter away from her, his gaze was cold.
"What if it is?" Billy approached gradually.
Kathy didn't panic that much and laid down. She didn't look at Billy anymore and closed her eyes.
After a while, the sound of footsteps finally sounded in her ears, and Billy left.
Only then did Kathy's tense mood relax. When she opened her eyes, the room was pitch black.
She couldn't help but tremble all over, and she was getting teary.
She walked out to the balcony and looked at the garden downstairs, where the bodyguards had been
patrolling.
Kathy quirked her eyebrows while looking at the dark night. It was a sleepless night.
At downstairs, Billy sat on the sofa. The assistant beside him was always cautious, not daring to make
a sound.
Soon after, Billy's phone rang. It was Julian's call.
"Do you have the person?"
"Yeah."
"Did you notify Joseph about it?"
"He's on the plane now," Billy said.
"Well done. You'll have to watch over that woman."
"Of course."
After hanging up the phone, Billy looked at the sky outside until the sky was a little brighter.
At BV City, Joseph went over to the branch office as soon as he got off the plane. Just one day ago,
confidential information of the branch office was stolen, and a lot of information was exposed. This
incident had seriously affected the regular operation of the whole company.
The technical department had been trying its best to solve the problem. It was just a big deal to Joseph.
Joseph urgently held a meeting. However, John apprehensively brought in his cell phone as soon as
the meeting had just started.
Joseph looked at him with a cold eye, and John sweated wildly. It involved the safety of Kathy, so John
had to report it no matter what, "Mr Joseph, the hospital called. Miss Kathy is missing."
"What?" Joseph's already cold and stern face was even more serious, and his eyebrows were knitted
tightly together.
Looking at the progress of the meeting on the screen, the meeting would take at least three more
hours.
"The meeting is suspended."
After saying that, Joseph left the conference room.
The already tense situation was even more severe, the senior staffs were all looking at John. John said
in a low voice, "Sorry, please be patient for a while."
Joseph talked through his cell phone and the bodyguard at the hospital said apprehensively, "Mr
Joseph, the hospital's surveillance has been disabled since last night, and Miss Kathy should have
been missing for six hours..."
"Bastard!"
It made Joseph emotionally irritated.
Joseph, who had always been a gentle and elegant man, has never had such a hard time controlling
his emotions.
The only time it happened in the past was when his mother passed away.
"Trace the whereabouts of Billy and Julian!" He ordered.
He hung up the phone, and John stood nervously by his side.
Joseph indifferently said, "Stay here and deal with this matter."
"But... Mr Joseph..." John shuddered, the crisis was not easy to solve, otherwise Joseph would not
personally fly over to deal with it.
Leaving this matter to him... what if he messed up... he would must be killed!
But now that Kathy was in trouble, Joseph would certainly not stand by and watch.
"I'll arrange for the vice president to come over. Get into the meeting now." Joseph said.
After that, he immediately contacted the private jet to go back to City N.
John was helpless...
As soon as Joseph got into the car, his cell phone rang with an unfamiliar number.
But he knew who it was.
"Billy."
"Tsk tsk, how did Mr Joseph know it was me?" Billy smiled.
"Where is Kathy?" Joseph didn't bullshit with him and asked straightforwardly.
"You know what I'm asking for."
"Impossible," Joseph said coldly.
The Hilton Group's situation was known by everyone now, if the crisis remained unresolved for a long
time, it would only be bankruptcy.
What Billy wanted was nothing more than for Joseph to stop suppressing The Hilton Group.
"Joseph, are you sure you want to reject me? Kathy is in my hands, as long as I do something with her
and let the reporters come over, I have all the means to make her Mrs Hilton. Thus, The Hilton Group
will naturally merge with the Booth Group..."
Joseph's face became even colder when he heard that.
"It's almost ten o'clock and she's still not awake, do you need me to wake her up for you? I didn't
expect that she could sleep so deeply next to me."
Billy pushed the door in. Those words were meant to provoke Joseph.
Kathy sat on the sofa and watched Billy enter with cold eyes.
With an evil smile, Billy turned on the phone speaker.
In the next second, Billy's long arm suddenly embraced Kathy. She was so frightened that she couldn't
hold back her scream.
Joseph's face got tense, and his fist tightened.
"Billy!" Kathy stared at him indignantly.
Kathy tried to shake off his hand, but Billy hugged her harder.
"Stop it, honey." Billy's tone was deliberately intimate.
Kathy couldn't help but kick hard at him.
Billy held back. He picked up the phone and continue holding Kathy in his arms.
"Mr Joseph, I don't have time to talk with you. Think carefully about your next move."
After that, Billy quickly hung up the phone.
"Billy, you're so despicable!" Kathy scolded.
Billy frowned. Kathy was kicking his leg, so he had to let go of her.
"My despicableness can't be compared to Joseph's."
"You're the one who hurt the Joseph family first," Kathy said.
"Tsk tsk, but you're a member of the Booth family. How come you're still on the side of the Joseph
family? Do you still think you're Mrs Joseph?" Billy said sarcastically.
Kathy paused and didn't speak for a moment.
"If Joseph allows you to marry me, then you've really misjudged him. It would mean that he was using
you after all."
Such words had been said to Kathy by too many people around her.
How did the powerful and influential Dr Joseph actually fell in love with a commoner like her, unless he
knew who she was from the beginning.
But she never believed it.
"Billy, my mother won't agree to let me marry you. You should give up." Kathy said coldly.
"Who knows? You are my woman now, and she must agree even if she didn't want to..."
Before Billy could finish talking, Kathy had already slapped him in the face and said angrily, "nothing
will happen between you and me. Unless I die!"
"Heh." Billy frowned, and he picked up her chin, "It's not up to you, it depends on what Joseph does
today. Otherwise, don't even think of escaping tonight."
Billy quickly left the room.
Kathy took a deep breath, but it was hard to calm down.
For all she knew, Billy, who was forced into this situation, would do anything.
Suddenly, a noise sounded outside, and Kathy walked out to the balcony.
A black car drove in, and soon after, a familiar figure got off the car.
It was Jennifer Booth!
Kathy's eyes lit up, and she ran out of the room almost immediately, but the guards at the door
immediately blocked her.
"Miss Kathy, please go back." The guards said coldly.
Kathy was impatient. She thought that if Jennifer had come over, she might be able to get out.
But the guards didn't allow her to go out.
She went back to her room and walked out to the balcony and carefully observed the spots that were
guarded.
