Kathy didn't get out of the elevator until the people behind urged her.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still two hours before Joseph could finish his
consultation.
Ella was no longer in the neurosurgery department, and she was not familiar with the nurses here.
Not long after, a nurse came and announced that Joseph's appointments ended ahead of time today,
and they could come again tomorrow morning.
Then Joseph....
When Kathy arrived outside his consulting room, Joseph had already left.
She frowned, and the disappointment in her heart overwhelmed her.
After leaving the hospital, Kathy was about to call Joseph, and she suddenly saw him get on a black
car.
This car belonged to the Marshall family.
Kathy knew this car because it had stopped at the dormitory building of Ocean University several times.
Inside the car was a woman. It should be Zofia.
Not long after, the car quickly left.
Kathy stared blankly in the direction where the car was leaving, and her face turned pale.
The number she was about to dial was deleted slowly by her.
After getting on the taxi, she subconsciously gave Joseph Bay's address. The driver had already
started the motor, and Kathy finally realized it.
What was she coming back ... for?
However, there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart that Joseph would return.
Before returning to Joseph Bay, Kathy went to the supermarket again and bought a lot of fresh
vegetables and meat.
The house was empty. And every day, servants would come to clean it, so it was spotless.
However, there was no trace of Joseph at all.
It must have been a long time since he came back.
After walking into the kitchen, she began to prepare the dinner.
Finally, when it was eight o'clock, Kathy finished cooking. There were three dishes and one soup.
Although they didn't look good, she had tasted it herself, and it was ... not bad.
She unlocked her phone and found there was no incoming calls or messages from Joseph.
After a pause, she finally couldn't help but dial his number.
At this moment, in an office in the Joseph Group.
Zofia sat on the sofa. The phone not far away was vibrating. She looked at Bertie and Joseph who
were talking in the conference room and slowly picked up the phone.
Seeing that it was Kathy calling, Zofia was stunned.
"Hello?"
Hearing Zofia's voice, Kathy was shocked and didn't know what to say.
"Joseph is taking a bath." Zofia's voice was soft.
Kathy held her phone and imagined where they were right now.
In the hotel?
Otherwise, why would Joseph be taking a bath?
Or, in Joseph's another house?
Kathy smiled mockingly and hung up the phone without saying anything else.
Zofia put down her phone and deleted Kathy's call record. Only then did she put Joseph's phone back
in place.
"Mr Joseph, thank you for your cooperate. With the Joseph Group's investment in this project, Marshall
Group's situation will be much better," Bertie said in a deep voice.
Joseph's expression remained indifferent. He did this just for Mrs. Marshall's sake.
"It's been good working with you," he said indifferently.
Bertie and Zofia left not long after. Joseph sat in the conference room, picked up his phone, and
checked the WeChat. The last WeChat message from Kathy was two days ago.
He hesitated for a while and finally put down his phone.
Not long after, John entered and closed the door of the conference room.
"Mr Joseph, Mr Davis recently embezzled 10 million from the Joseph Group's account."
Joseph narrowed his eyes coldly and gradually tightened his fists.
John handed over a USB. Inside were Quinn's recent chat records, many of which were related to
Reece.
"Have you arranged everything for tonight?" Joseph asked coldly after listening to the recording.
John nodded.
Reece was not in City N today. Joseph's car slowly stopped. When Veronica was brought out, her eyes
immediately turned tearful.
Although she hadn't suffered much these past few days, the feeling of being trapped was too
uncomfortable.
Especially, Reece even used her to threaten Quinn.
How could she tolerate it?
"Joseph!" Veronica burst into tears when she saw her brother and threw herself into her arms.
Joseph pursed his thin lips and patted his sister's shoulder, saying, "I'm coming to take you away. I'm
sorry that I didn't protect you properly."
He did not know about Veronica's disappearance. He only sensed that Quinn was a little abnormal. He
recalled that Veronica had not contacted him during this period of time, so he guessed that something
might have happened to her.
He pretended not to know about this thing in order to relax Reece's vigilance and bring Veronica out.
Reece wasn't in City N for the past three days, so it was the best time.
And now, Reece's people had been under his control, so Reece would not receive any news for a
while.
"Joseph, how do you know I am here?" Veronica looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"I'm your brother. Didn't you say before that I'm Superman?" Joseph smiled.
"Of course, you are Superman. You are the best!" Veronica leaned against her brother's embrace, and
her gradually calmed down.
But when she thought of Quinn, she felt a little guilty.
Reece must have threatened Quinn to do a lot of bad things.
She raised her head and said, "Joseph, Quinn ... he was threatened by Reece."
"I know. Now, Reece thinks that he has already controlled half of the Joseph Group." Joseph sneered.
Although Quinn was the current leader of the Joseph Group, Joseph was still in power.
"Reece ... does he want the Joseph Group?" Veronica murmured.
She did not know Reece much, and she just heard about him from Quinn. She never expected that he
would be such a ruthless man.
Could it be that the recent upheaval in the Joseph Group was also caused by him?
Joseph nodded.
Veronica murmured, "I'm going to find Quinn. I'm afraid that he will do something bad...."
"Don't worry. You go back to the old house with me and don't have to contact Quinn," Joseph said.
"Why?"
"I want to see what Reece is going to do." Joseph narrowed his eyes.
He had already set up the trap.
Veronica had always trusted her brother, so she nodded. However, she could not see Quinn. It was too
painful for her.
"Veronica, did Reece do anything to you these days?" Joseph lowered his head and asked with
concern.
Veronica bit her lips and shook her head.
However, she did not have an appetite, so she had eaten very little these past few days and had lost a
lot of weight.
"I can't contact anyone in the following days, right?"
"Yes. Veronica, give me a few more days."
"I understand." Veronica smiled.
After returning to the Joseph’s residence, Veronica saw that her brother didn't leave, and she asked
confusedly, "Are you staying here tonight? Don't you need to accompany Kathy?"
Previously, his brother was very close to Kathy.
But since she was brought out, it seemed that her brother hadn't contacted Kathy
yet.
