"Billy is stupid." Bertie shook his head and said with a mocking expression.
"He will be convicted, right?" Kathy said lightly.
"Well, with something like this happened, he couldn’t play innocent anymore." Bertie said, "However, I
didn't expect this day will come so soon, after all, the Hilton Group just got the financing."
Kathy didn’t understand about business, nor care about Billy being convicted. She just got surprised
hearing Billy got in trouble suddenly.
Seeing Joseph went inside, Kathy didn’t say more, she got out of the car.
But Bertie suddenly said to her, "I will pick you up after work."
"Mr. Marshall, please park your car further," Kathy said coldly.
Bertie smiled, "I will try my best."
At the same time, on the top floor of the Joseph's Group,
John came to work early in the morning. When he saw his boss Joseph came in, he immediately
handed the tablet over.
"Mr. Joseph, this is the news of the Hilton Group today."
Joseph took it and glanced indifferently.
"Who reports this incident?"
The Joseph's Group had known about this incident for a long time, but Joseph hid the news because it
was not the time to defeat the Hilton Group yet.
"It should have been reported by someone who works in the Hilton Group."
"It's the person who invested the Hilton Group secretly."
After a long while, Joseph said coldly, "Is Reece still in City N now?"
"He is in the Bridges residence in country C. Mr. Joseph, Reece invited you to meet him."
Hearing this, Joseph rubbed his chip with his fingertips, then he murmured coldly with a cold and scary
smile, "Reece."
In the evening, it was almost ten o'clock when Kathy left the Joseph's Group.
Bertie called her several times, but she only saw it when she was off work.
While walking into the elevator, she called Bertie back, without noticing that there was someone else
standing next to her.
“Bertie."
"Are you off work now?" Bertie said with a cold voice.
Only Kathy dared to let him wait for her for four hours.
"Yes, I just got off. You should be at the Booth family now, right?" Kathy asked.
She didn't think Bertie would wait for her for four hours.
"I'm outside of the Joseph's Group now. How did I leave without you?"
Kathy got speechless. After a long while, she said in a small voice, "I am coming down now."
Kathy hung up the phone, raised her eyes, and saw Joseph unexpectedly.
She couldn’t help thinking, Joseph? How could he be here? She had been on the phone just now and
didn't even notice him...
"Mr. Joseph." Kathy greeted him politely and distancingly.
Kathy even stepped back subconsciously, keeping a distance from him.
However, Joseph showed no expression and no movement.
It wasn't until when the elevator stopped at the basement floor, Kathy finally came back to her senses,
and realized that she forgot to press the button for the elevator...
"Bertie is here to pick you up?" Joseph did not go out but looked at Kathy instead.
He said so calmly that somehow made Kathy feel scared.
"Yeah." She answered.
Hearing that, Joseph suddenly clasped her wrist, and Kathy was pulled into his arms.
"It’s not acceptable." After saying that, Joseph pulled Kathy into his car.
After realizing what happened, Kathy struggled immediately. But her power was nothing comparing to
Joseph’s.
"Joseph, I want to get off!" She stared at him sullenly.
Joseph didn’t answer her as if he couldn’t hear her. He locked the car door and approached to help her
buckle her seat belt with no expression, which made Kathy feel so scared.
However, she didn’t want to stay with him…
With her hand against Joseph's chest, she tried her best to push him away, "This is too much."
"Kathy, you are the one who provokes me again and again. I told you before that don’t get close to
Bertie, but you didn’t listen." Joseph rubbed her chin severely with an extremely cold expression.
"Why do you care about me? It's my own business."
"Only because...you are mine."
After saying that, Joseph lowered his head and kissed deeply on Kathy’s lips without even giving Kathy
a chance to run away.
He clasped her shoulders with his hands, pressing Kathy in the passenger seat.
Kathy was stunned...
She and Joseph...They were not in that kind of relationship!
She opened her mouth and bit hard on Joseph’s lip. The smell of blood spread fast, but Joseph still did
not back away.
Until she tasted the salty blood taste...
She cried.
Kathy looked at him coldly. Her face was very pale as if she got bullied by him.
Joseph immediately understood what she was thinking about. He stepped back, took a deep breath,
and calmed down a little after a while.
Hearing that Bertie was coming to pick her up, Joseph couldn’t control himself to get angry.
He would never allow it to happen.
Kathy's eyes were very red. Her hands were still against his chest, she asked slowly with panting from
the kiss, "Mr. Joseph, when can I get off the car."
Joseph pursed his lips, staring at her without blinking.
"What if I don’t let you go?"
"Then I jump off the car." After saying that, Kathy rolled down the window.
Joseph looked at her coldly with clasping her wrist hard. Then he realized that she was not joking, he
slowly let go of his hand.
"Ella and I are not married." He said.
"So what?" Kathy was not surprised, she asked calmly.
"I won't let you go." He vowed.
Kathy laughed suddenly, "Joseph, you always make me feel that you love me."
Joseph narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
Kathy looked at him for a while, but she couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
"You told me that you will never fall in love with me. Don’t you remember? I will never forget what you
said." Kathy looked at him calmly.
When Joseph got stunned by what she said, she pushed him away and got out of the car.
Watching her getting out of the car, Joseph suddenly felt lost and pain in his heart.
However, when he finally realized what happened, it was too late to stop her.
Joseph pulled out the cigarette from the locker. He was meant to be lit, but he threw it away after
thinking for a while.
He took out the medical record that he had read thousands of times from the cabinet again. Reading
the text on it, he closed his eyes heavily.
Suddenly Joseph made his decision. He pushed the door and got out of the car.
However, at this time, Kathy was already in Bertie’s car.
Through the rearview mirror, Kathy could see Joseph standing there, looking lonely.
She clenched her hands tightly, so tightly that it even hurt herself. But it was far less painful than what
she felt now in her heart.
Seeing how painful Kathy’s expression was, Bertie didn’t start the car for a long time.
Bertie clenched the steering wheel. He made a decision before. But seeing how painful Kathy was
feeling now, Bertie felt that he was not sure anymore.
When Bertie stepped on the accelerator hard, Kathy came back to her senses and looked in the
rearview mirror subconsciously. Finally, Joseph’s figure became increasingly blurred.
When Kathy and Bertie finally got back to the Booth family, they saw someone unexpectedly sitting in
the living room. It was Dylan.
When Dylan saw Kathy coming back with Bertie, he clenched his fists and became a little angry.
"You two went on a date?"
Kathy didn't want to bother to talk to him. She was so hungry. She went straight to the dining room.
Bertie felt the same as Kathy. Being ignored by two of them, Dylan was unhappy but he didn’t say
anything but followed along to the dining room.
In the dining room, the three people sat together at the spacious dining table. Although the dishes were
a bit cold, they were all Kathy's favorites. However, suddenly Kathy felt a little nauseous.
Putting down the chopsticks, she immediately ran into the bathroom. Then Bertie and Dylan also ran in.
It seemed that Dylan realized something, his expression changed. At the same time, Bertie looked at
Kathy worriedly.
"Kathy--" Two of them said at the same time.
Kathy waved to them and closed the door directly.
She felt an extreme headache that she couldn’t standstill. She couldn't help but squat on the ground
uncomfortably, however, she gradually lost her consciousness…
