After a while, Joseph looked gloomy.
He leaned against the back of the chair, with pretty scary aura.
John stood beside him with a solemn expression.
"Mr Joseph, I believe Ms Kathy is innocent."
Joseph's face was quiet, and there was no fluctuation on it.
"Notify the lawyer." After a long while, he spoke indifferently. Now, his tone was much calmer than
before.
His phone rang. It was a call from Mathew in Country C.
"Joseph, when are you and Ella getting married? I've seen all the news."
"Grandfather, the news is not the truth." Joseph was always disdainful of explaining.
"I don't care. Now that such a thing has happened, everyone in the city knows about it. Ella is seriously
ill. If you abandon her, it will tarnish the reputation of the Josephs!"
Right now, the news in the city was all about Joseph taking care of his seriously ill girlfriend. If it was
suddenly revealed that everything was actually a mix-up, Joseph's reputation would definitely be
affected.
This time, the Bridges family had set a deep trap.
"Grandfather, the Joseph Group will be fine. Don't worry." Joseph said and quickly hung up.
However, even if Joseph refused, Mathew and Reece had jointly announced that the two families were
about to match by a marriage. Meanwhile, Joseph had no real power because Mathew temporarily
withdrew his shares and Quinn was dismissed. The Joseph Group was in complete chaos.
It had been a long time before Kathy who was far away in Country F knew these things.
It had already been three days before she woke up, and she had no idea where she was. The
decoration of the room was very elegant and meticulous, but she subconsciously disliked it.
Sitting up, she opened the quilt in a panic. Her clothes were new. Who is it that helped her change
them?
A tall figure walked in. She raised her eyes and saw Reece's handsome face.
"Why are you here ... Where ... Where am I?" She asked alertly.
"Country F. I took you here." Reece said frankly.
"What do you mean?" Kathy was about to get up immediately, but she felt limp and fell onto the bed.
"Reece! What did you do to me?"
"I don't dare to do anything to you, but I advise you not to think of going back to City N."
"Where's Joseph?" She muttered and didn't want to talk with Reece. She just wanted to find her phone
quickly.
There was indeed a phone next to her, but it was new, not her original one.
"Don't waste your time. Since I've taken you away, how can I let you contact Joseph? Wash up and I'll
take you to the hospital." After saying that, the servant quickly brought in a clean set of clothes.
Kathy always resisted Reece and remained motionless.
"Don't you want to see your mother anymore?" Reece sneered.
"My mother is in City N!" Kathy was stunned and didn't work out what he said.
"Angela."
"What?" Kathy immediately stared at him with huge, round eyes.
Angela ... Ever since Angela left with Maurice, she had been trying to contact her, but failed.
"Come with me if you want to see her." Reece casually said.
Kathy stiffened. She just could not think it straight all of a sudden and she felt overwhelmed by all these
changes.
However, she did want to see Angela.
"Where's my phone?" Seeing that Reece was about to leave, Kathy called out to him.
"I lost it."
"You! Reece, what exactly do you want?" Kathy was extremely angry.
However, Reece remained very calm, as if he was completely in control of her.
"What do I want?" He said with a teasing smile.
"Kathy, I'm helping you." His words were unclear.
Reece went out. Kathy looked at the skirt on the side and scratched her hair irritably.
"Joseph, do you know that I'm in Country F?" She murmured.
After changing her clothes and going out, Kathy knew that she was living in a villa. The decoration was
simple black-and-white style, revealing delicacy everywhere.
But she's not interested in all of this.
After they sat in the car, Reece was beside her, looking at his tablet. After a while, he clicked on a piece
of news and handed it to Kathy.
"What is this?"
She lowered her eyes and saw the intimate photo of Joseph and Ella. The coldness immediately
spread throughout her body.
In the photo, although Joseph's eyes were closed, he was kissing Ella's forehead without wearing a
coat.
No matter who saw it, they would only believe that the two were lovey-dovey.
That was unreal...
She absolutely did not believe it, but she could not help but slide down. She had read the entire report
seriously. Now, the Joseph family and the Bridges family were already preparing for their wedding
ceremony.
So, what was she?
Tears gushed out of her eyes unexpectedly. She turned around and looked out of the window, not
wanting Reece to see her pathetic look.
But how could she escape from Reece's eyes?
He pursed his thin lips and said, "The reason why Joseph agreed to give Ella a treatment is because of
an agreement between the Bridges family and Mr Mathew. And the agreement says that Ella will marry
into the Joseph family. The Josephs are unwilling to admit you. Kathy, I never want to see you suffer
any grievances...."
"Shut up!" Kathy covered her ears, not wanting to hear Reece's words at all.
"Well, I'll shut up. Listen to Angela later. I don't want you to regret it."
"I have never regretted it!" Kathy said angrily.
"Reece, I won't believe you!" Kathy stared at him with red eyes.
How could she believe this devilish man in front of her? He had always threatened her.
The atmosphere in the car was in stalemate. Reece did not say anything else, but his expression was
still very confident.
After arriving at the hospital, Kathy walked behind Reece. She was in a bad mood.
Why was her mother here ... There were many questions in her mind, and she could only ask Angela
when she saw her.
While she opened the door, her footsteps stiffened. Counting the days, she and Angela hadn't seen
each other for a year.
She could not understand why her mother had never wanted to contact her.
However, she never gave up trying to get in touch with Angela.
"I'll wait for you outside." Reece helped her open the door and stood outside.
Kathy bit her lips, her footsteps trembling.
Kathy's tears fell down again the moment she saw Angela.
It’s been a year, and she really missed Angela.
"Mom--" she cried, throwing herself into Angela's embrace.
"Kathy, why are you crying? Your mother is not dead yet." Angela was as straightforward as usual.
But Kathy was crying more and more fiercely.
"Mom, why did you change the phone number? And you don't come to me. I'm worried about you..."
Angela sighed and hugged her daughter with pity. The loneliness in her eyes spread.
"It's Mom's fault. Too many things have happened in the past year. Mom doesn't want to disturb your
life."
"No, I'd rather be disturbed by you." Kathy wiped her nose and looked at Angela with red eyes.
She looked at her mother. Her face was very pale and her voice was very weak. "Mom, what happened
to you?"
Kathy held her mother's hand and realized that her body was very cold.
