Veronica looked at her, she imagined if this had happened to her, she would indeed be unable to be
that tolerant.
“Zofia and I, would probably never be that close again,” This was what Kathy was most disappointed
about.
Since they were once so close.
At this moment, in the office at back stage, Quinn rushed to Joseph’s side. “The contents of the
PowerPoint presentation for the speech were changed.”
Quinn had just found out about this. He had already prepared everything, but because Joseph had told
him to double check, so he went back to recheck again.
Now, the contents were changed, and the file that contained Joseph’s speech originally was deleted as
well.
Further, the worst thing was now the computer back stage was locked. It must have been hacked by
some IT personnel, and it could only present the contents that were changed.
Now, the according resolve plan was only to postpone the promotional event. But now almost all the
participants of the meeting had arrived.
“Arrange for a programmer to come over to solve this,” Joseph was not anxious at all, as he sat by the
side. “Show me the contents that were changed.”
Quinn’s expression was dark, yet he shook his head, “It’s some things about Veronica before, about
what happened between her and Billy.”
Once he said so, Joseph understood.
Looking at Quinn, the pain in his eyes emerged.
What once happened to Veronica hit home towards the Joseph family.
Although Veronica was the victim, but if this incident was exposed, Veronica would certainly be unable
to handle it.
Luckily he had managed to discover it earlier.
Joseph’s expression was extremely dark as he looked at the time, “I want the promotional event to
begin in one hour.”
“Alright,” Quinn agreed.
Joseph’s orders were never to be gone against.
In the event venue, Kathy saw that some of the guests were already displeased. It was already more
than half an hour that the promotional event had started, yet it had not begun.
“My brother is never this unpunctual,” Veronica said worriedly.
Kathy’s face paled and finally she could not help but go over to the back stage. She wanted to bring
Veronica along, but she waved her hands, “Just go check on my brother.”
Kathy nodded, and went over from the stairs.
In the silent corridor, despite that Ella had already lowered her voice, but Kathy still heard pieces of her
conversation.
“I changed everything, but it was still discovered… I already tried my best…”
Kathy did not hide, Ella hung up her call and saw Kathy suddenly, her face immediately paled.
“When did you come here?” Ella glared at her.
“What have you done to the promotional event?” but Kathy asked coldly.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Ella turned and walked away.
Kathy frowned, she could not stop her. She walked quickly to the back stage, Joseph was standing
before the window, his silhouette slender.
“What happened?” Kathy frowned.
Hearing this, Joseph turned and wrapped his arms around Kathy tightly out of the sudden.
His force was so hard as if he wanted to grind her into his bones.
At this moment, Kathy could clearly feel his fear.
What on earth could have made Joseph afraid?
“The contents of the projection had a bit of an accident, it’s almost fixed now,” Joseph replied lightly.
The tech team of the Joseph‘s Group was here in BV City, and they were highly efficient.
“Did Ella do this?” Kathy’s words came out fast.
“Ella?” Joseph squinted, “What do you know?”
“I bumped into her on the phone just now, it was about the change in the contents of the promotional
event…”
“I know what to do,” Joseph smiled lightly, but his eyes were dark.
She knew that there was a reason behind why Joseph did not take action against Ella.
But if it had reached beyond his limits, he would stop tolerating.
Yet Ella liked Joseph so much, how would she frame him like this…
She could not figure it out, so Kathy no longer pondered on it, she believed that Joseph would be able
to handle it well.
The contents of the projection were finally back to normal, and Joseph summarised the contents of his
speech. Kathy returned to her seat but found that Veronica was not there.
She did not have her number, and was unable to contact her for the time being, so she could only wait
until Joseph finished his speech.
Three hours passed quickly, Kathy was deep into the talk. The man on stage was cold and serious,
answering all the questions in detail the entire time, without a hint of impatience.
Although he was an honourable expert professor, but when facing each and every person, his attitude
remained to be gentle.
Kathy’s eyes showed deep mesmerisation, she did not come to her senses until Joseph’s speech was
over.
Ella immediately went on stage to pass him a bottle of water. Joseph did not take it but said directly,
“Ella, return to City N.”
“What did you say?” Ella’s entire body froze.
“I have already deleted your name from this trip.”
“Why…”
But the next second, before Joseph was able to answer, Quinn came over.
His expression was a little abnormal.
“Mr Joseph, allow Ella to follow me. My secretary is on leave and I happen to need a person.”
Joseph gave Quinn a long look, when he saw that he was so determined, he then nodded slowly.
Ella’s face showed obvious unwillingness as well, she had come to be by Joseph’s side.
But now…
“Miss Bridges, you have no choice,” looking at Ella’s hesitation, Quinn’s tone was icy.
Joseph went down the stage. As there were many reporters interviewing, Kathy was blocked by the
crowd in the middle and was unable to get close to Joseph.
She could only wait at the back stage. When she saw Quinn, she asked, “Veronica had always been by
my side just now. But from the start of the promotional event until now, she’s never reappeared. Call
Veronica, Quinn.”
Kathy was originally not very worried, but it has been hours, even if she had went to the washroom she
would have been back by now.
But she never saw Veronica appearing.
Quinn’s expression was taut, “She said that she was too tired and is now resting in the hotel, don’t
worry.”
“I see,” Kathy heaved a sigh of relief.
But when she gave it a second thought, Veronica had been quite energised when she was by her side,
why would she suddenly…
“Is she feeling unwell?”
“Yes, I’ll go back to have a look at her later, don’t worry,” Quinn consoled her.
Yet Kathy still felt a little strange.
Finally, Joseph came back. Before she was able to talk to Joseph, Quinn was already here to talk
about work. Quinn and Joseph did not come out from the meeting room until half an hour later.
“Are you not returning to the hotel in the afternoon?” Kathy looked at him.
Joseph had nothing scheduled for the afternoon, except for a dinner party at night.
“Quinn has to go back to City N, I have to stay here at the event venue. Can you go back first and
sleep for a while?” Joseph replied gently.
Kathy frowned and was a little unwilling.
She did not want to be separated from Joseph.
