“Ten years ago, he pushed our mother off the eightieth floor with his own hands,” Joseph spat word by
word, as murder slowly spread through his eyes.
Kathy was completely thunderstruck this time. Even as she thought about that scene, she felt horrible.
That was his birth mother, how could Julian do that!
How could he be so cruel!
“I saw it with my own eyes but I couldn’t stop him,” Joseph voice was tainted with pain.
Kathy heart ached and she hugged Joseph on her own accord, she should not have brought this up.
This was Joseph’s nightmare.
He did not want to remember it for all his life, yet he must remember.
Only then could he avenge his mother!
“It’s over now Joseph, Julian will be punished,” Kathy mumbled.
She felt horrible too, thinking that twenty years ago, Joseph was merely a child.
Yet he saw a scene like this with his own eyes, his mother was murdered before him…
If she had faced this, it would have been the pain that she could not handle in her life.
She could not help but cry silently, as her heart ached.
“Yes,” Joseph’s emotions calmed down fast.
Before meeting Kathy, these scenes appeared in his dreams every night.
But then she came to be by his side.
He finally could have her.
Lifting her chin, he kissed away her tears lightly, carefully. She was the person he loved the most.
She was the apple of his eye.
He could not bear to see her cry.
“Don’t cry, alright?” His scratchy voice resonated in her ear.
Kathy nodded, she would not cry.
Her moist eyes looked at Joseph as she held onto his face, “Joseph, I’ll always be by your side when
you’re feeling down afterwards.”
Joseph replied her with a deep kiss.
He held onto her tightly, his force was as if trying to mould her into his bones.
…
The Booth Mansion.
Jennifer had just come back from the Booth group, when there was a familiar figure sitting in the living
room.
She halted in her footsteps as she raised her eyes, looking at Billy in surprise.
He was wanted by the whole city, yet he dared to come back!
Jennifer was furious, but looking at Billy’s helpless demeanour, she could not bear it.
“You shouldn’t be here, Billy,” Jennifer looked at him coldly.
Billy laughed coldly, he no longer had his previous proud stature now. His shirt was wrinkled, the beard
on his face was not cleaned for a long time.
He was extremely disgraced.
“Mum, I’ve been by your side for so many years. Can you really bear to watch as I’m sent to prison?”
Billy roared, his eyes filled completely with hate.
Jennifer pursed her lips, it would be false if she had not softened.
But now, Billy already had no other options.
“I warned you, you’re no match for Joseph,” Jennifer sighed.
“I was framed!” Billy shouted in a craze.
“You did break the law,” Jennifer frowned.
Billy’s face was taut, “That was Joseph who forced me to! Or else there won’t be any investors to invest
in the Hilton group. Mum, this was because you didn’t help the Hilton group!”
Jennifer lowered her eyes as she sat on the couch, her face became pale.
“What do you want?”
“Help me to leave City N.”
“Joseph’s influence is all over the city, I can’t do so.”
“Really?”
The next second, Billy actually took out a knife and he shot towards Jennifer, holding her down. The
edge of the knife was held against Jennifer’s throat.
“Mum, I want to leave City N!”
Jennifer was still rather calm as usual. Billy was a child that she had taught, and she admitted that it
was due to her negligence in teaching that caused him to become like he was today.
“Alright, wait for me here, I’ll arrange now.”
“Wouldn’t it be nicer if you agree earlier?” Billy smiled coldly.
Yet he did not let go of Jennifer.
“Arrange this by phone call!” He ordered.
Jennifer took out her phone and dialled her assistant’s phone number.
The private jet would immediately land on the top floor of the Booth mansion, only that Billy let her go.
Jennifer fell onto the couch, looking at Billy with full disappointment in her eyes.
“Don’t look at me like this, when I leave here I still need a sum of money,” Billy threatened.
“Fine.”
At this moment, Jennifer had no other choice.
“But you and I have long broken off ties,” Jennifer said coldly.
Further, it was Billy who proposed this on his initiative.
“After leaving City N, I won’t bother you anymore,” Billy sneered.
He would not return before he had made his comeback.
Jennifer was silent, watching as Billy walked up the roof step by step. The private jet was already there.
The phone call to the police was already connected. Hesitation flashed through her eyes, but at last
she told the police Billy’s whereabouts.
She watched as the private jet rose, as Billy’s head came out, “Mum, this time we would really no
longer have any relations.”
Jennifer was expressionless. She turned and the butler’s figure came running hurriedly.
“Madam, you’re wounded!”
Jennifer came to her sense, and she finally realised that her neck was lightly slashed by Billy.
“I’m fine.”
“You should probably still go to the hospital to take care of it!”
When Bertie had just arrived at the City N Hospital, he received a call from the butler that Jennifer was
wounded.
At this moment in Kathy’s ward, she heard so too.
“What’s wrong with Mum?”
“Billy came to the Booth Mansion and took Mrs. Booth as hostage,” Bertie’s expression was heavy.
“Let Mum come over to the City N Hospital then!” said Kathy.
“I’m already arranging it, don’t worry.”
At this moment, Bertie’s assistant knocked on the door from outside.
“Mr. Marshall, news just came by, Billy was already arrested.”
As he heard this, Bertie heaved a sigh of relief.
Jennifer must have tipped the police off.
“Keep a tight watch on Billy,” Bertie ordered.
Kathy was worried about Jennifer, she did not want to know how Billy was.
Not long after, Jennifer came to the hospital. Kathy went to the consultation room under the company of
Bertie.
“Mum!” Seeing the blood on Jennifer’s neck, Kathy was even more worried.
The doctor handled it fast and stopped the bleeding, but Jennifer’s face was still very pale.
Kathy held onto her hand, she felt clearly that her mother was shaking.
“It’s alright, mum.”
“I’ve made you worried, Kathy,” Jennifer smiled.
“How did Billy get into the Booth mansion?”
“He must have broken the curfew to get in, and also calculated that I would go back at that time. He
must have been arrested now.”
“Mrs Booth, Billy has already been arrested. The police have confirmed that he cannot be bailed out,
you can relax,” Bertie replied from the side.
“I didn’t expect that he would hate me so much,” said Jennifer silently.
Thinking of the hatred when Billy was threatening her, her heart still ached a little.
This child had been under her care since young, naturally she would care.
Just that for his personality to become like this, it somewhat had something to do with her.
Kathy held onto her mother’s shaking hands and comforted, “Since Billy broke the law, it would be a
wrong choice by his own.”
“When he did something like that to Veronica, I shouldn’t have tolerated him,” Jennifer shook her head
in disappointment.
“Don’t put the blame on yourself, Mrs. Booth. It’s over now,” Bertie too replied.
Not far away, Joseph looked at the trio from afar. This scene was too much like a family.
His expression tightened and was extremely dark.
After a while, he returned to his own office.
