“You’re now one of the Booth family. Could you treat yourself better?” Bertie Marshall sighed.
Although Kathy had returned to the Booth family, her lifestyle remained unchanged.
“I’m used to live like this. I don’t want to make any changes.”
“Kathy, you will change your mind.”
Kathy did not know that Bertie’s word would come true in the future.
In Joseph’s house, when Mathew knew that Joseph did not marry Ella, he was relieved.
He planned to return to City N, but his schedule was packed, and could not leave.
In the living room, Joseph and Veronica were video calling Mathew.
“Grandpa, Joseph didn’t tell us about the cancellation of his wedding. I’ve worried for a long time!”
“You don’t need to worry about it. All you need to do is prepare for your examination. I’ll handle my own
stuff.”
“I’m scared that you will be cheated by the Bridges family!” Veronica mumbled.
Joseph was her favorite brother. When Joseph was married, Veronica felt emptiness.
Unless she was satisfied with her sister-in-law!
“Am I that silly?” Joseph frowned.
Veronica silenced. She thought that Joseph was silly when he fell in love with Kathy.
Joseph knew what she was thinking. When he recalled Kathy’s calm face, he was surprised.
“Joseph, you cheated the Bridges family’s member, they may have further action on you.” Mathew
reminded. He understood Joseph’s mind exactly.
Joseph wanted to investigate the Bridges family’s background, so he announced that he would marry
Ella.
“Yeah. Although the Bridges family’s power was not mainly in City N, I’ll still take note of it.”
Joseph ended the video call. When he was going to enter his room, Veronica stopped him.
“Brother, you still care about Kathy, aren’t you?” Veronica was nervous.
“Veronica, she’s always your sister-in-law, bear that in your mind.”
Veronica was stunned. She frowned. She did not expect an outcome like this.
Veronica’s phone rang. After disappearing for one whole week, Ella finally contacted Veronica.
Ella went overseas. Her phone was taken away when she left City N. She just got back her phone
today.
“Veronica, you’re the only person I dare to find… Is Joseph still good?” Ella asked nervously.
The incident that happened during the wedding humiliated both the Bridges family and also the Joseph
family.
“He… he’s quite good.” Veronica was awkward.
This was because both of them made use of each other before, but their fragile friendship was
continuing.
“Veronica, I didn’t know that it would happen. I’m sorry.” Ella apologized sincerely.
Ella knew that her mother had always denied this marriage. Therefore, Ella concealed this wedding
from her mother.
However, despite her mother was overseas, she still figured it out.
“It’s okay. Since the Bridges family didn’t agree, you should stay at home,” Veronica said.
“No, I’ll try my best to escape, I want to marry Joseph!” Ella spoke confidently.
Veronica silenced, she could feel Ella’s confidence.
Ella truly loved Joseph.
Veronica understood this feeling.
She could not bear to it.
“Veronica, is Joseph still angry?”
“Ella, I think you should give up. This incident affects the Joseph family a lot. The elders don’t agree to
this marriage,” Veronica advised.
Ella silenced.
It was at that moment, there was a knock at the door. Ella had no time to hang up her phone, she kept
her phone immediately.
She was relieved when she saw Reece.
“Brother, there you are.”
“I’ll find a chance to get you out of here,” Reece spoke.
Ella smiled. After hearing what Veronica said, she knew that Joseph would not marry her anymore.
She got her only chance by threatening Joseph. But now, she lost her chance.
She wanted to cry.
“Ella, please have faith in me,” Reece spoke.
Ella looked at him and did not speak.
“What’s your purpose to let me get close to Joseph?”
Reece chilled. “I just want to make your wish come true. You don’t need to bother about other stuff.”
“I wanted to know.” Ella pleased.
Reece did not talk about it.
Veronica clearly heard the conversation through the phone.
What was Reece’s plan?
…
The next day, Kathy woke up slightly late.
Joseph requested to speed up the project development. Every department was having meetings last
night. Kathy could only sleep in the wee hours.
She had her breakfast in a hurry. Bertie was waiting outside.
“If you don’t get into my car, I will block you forever.”
Kathy frowned. She was annoyed when she looked at the narrow space of the road.
Kathy got into the car.
Bertie smiled satisfyingly.
“Bertie, please don’t do this anymore,” Kathy spoke unhappily.
“If you drive to work on your own, I won’t fetch you anymore,” Bertie spoke.
Kathy pursed up her lips. Bertie knew that she would not drive those superior vehicles from the Booth
family.
Kathy asked Bertie to stop at the corner away from the Joseph’s Group. However, Bertie ignored her
and stopped right in front of the main door of the Joseph’s Group.
Kathy did not get off of the car.
Joseph’s car stopped in front. A man surrounded by executives walked into the Joseph’s Group.
Out of the blue, a swarm of reporters surrounded Joseph.
Kathy was worried.
Bertie opened the car window so that Kathy could hear the reporters’ questions.
“Mr. Joseph, a report of medicine imitation from the Hilton Group was made this morning. Their product
imitated the product of the Joseph’s Group. Do you know about this?”
“Will the Joseph’s Group sue the Hilton Group?
“Mr. Joseph, does the Joseph’s Group know about this…”
“...”
Kathy took out her phone. She saw the internet was packed with the news about the Hilton Group.
The Hilton Group was sequestered and Billy Hilton was caught!
The Hilton Group was so popular recently. Its new medicine had wide market potential.
But, it was exposed that the Hilton Group imitated the Joseph’s Group, this could destroy the Hilton
Group!
Kathy guessed about this before. She was not surprised by this incident.
Billy’s trick was always like this.
