Kathy smiled awkwardly, "Are you awake?"
Joseph walked to her with his long legs. His eyes were deep and his face was impassive.
"You've been sitting out all night?"
Kathy stepped back slightly. She nodded and then immediately shook her head, "No, I just came out to
get some water."
A faint smile was on Joseph's face, "There's a glass of water at the bedside too."
Kathy was stunned, avoided his gaze, and let out a deep breath. She suddenly hugged his waist and
whispered, "It's still early, you can go back to sleep for a while."
In fact, she wasn't sure if this move would work on Joseph.
But Joseph's reaction still made Kathy relieved that he didn't push her away, instead he wrapped his
arms around her thin waist and took her back to her room as well.
After lying down, Kathy gradually felt somewhat sleepy. She turned over and shrank towards the side of
the bed. Then she heard Joseph's deep voice, "Kathy ......"
"Hmm?"
"You're pleasing me." His tone was definite.
She was sleepy and Joseph's voice was so low that Kathy didn't hear it too well and mumbled, "What?"
Joseph did not speak, but reached out and held her tightly in his arms.
Kathy moved restlessly and soon fell into sleep.
But in the darkness, Joseph did not close his eyes. She curled into a small ball in his arms and her
whole face almost buried in his chest. He could not see her expression at all.
So he moved slightly and lifted her little face up. When the morning light outside the window filtered in,
he clearly saw the dark circle under her eyes.
In fact, he could feel that she had been insomnia these days.
At that moment, like being touched gently by something, Joseph was suddenly overwhelmed by a hint
of sadness.
How long didn’t she have a good night?
He didn't wake her up and moved gently.
After leaving, he turned back and found her cell phone under her pillow.
…
After waking up from a nap, Kathy looked at the clock by the window and was dazed. She thought her
eyes blurred.
Hadn't she set the alarm on her phone?
She found her phone hurriedly, but she found it was on the table and the alarm she set before had
been canceled.
She didn't think much about why Joseph had done that, because she was already late and she had to
get back to the Booth Group for the regular morning meeting.
She drove to Booth Group and this time just avoided the Monday morning rush.
Kathy strode back to her office on her high heels. And at that time, her secretary looked up from behind
her computer and stared at her in amazement.
Kathy quickly returned to her office, but for some reason, she felt a little uneasy, so she turned down
the air conditioning.
At that moment, the secretary came in with a panicked look on her face, "Ms Kathy, something has
happened."
"What?"
"The security guard at the entrance got into some argument with someone and someone was injured."
"Who?"
"It was reporters, they didn't have an appointment, so the security guard wouldn't let them in."
"What are reporters doing over here?" Kathy was suspicious.
The secretary smiled a little stiffly, "Ms Kathy, you should read the news."
Usually Kathy would have the habit of reading the news, but today she got up late, and she had no time
to read the news.
She immediately clicked on her computer's browser, and when she saw the headline news, she
instantly was stunned.
It was only after a long time, with the air conditioning blowing her headache, that she reached for her
phone.
She dialed her mother's number, but she quickly hung up again, and the person who answered was
Jennifer's personal caregiver.
"Did Mom go for her checkup today?"
"Ms Kathy, Mrs. Jennifer has been doing tests all morning and is not out yet."
At that, Kathy sighed with relief and after hanging up the phone, she dialed another number.
It took a long time that person answered the phone.
"Hmm?"
When Kathy heard his voice, she was filled with anger.
The news headline in front of her was "it was suspected that Joseph cheated on Zofia and be in love
with other woman".
There are two sets of photos: one is Kathy entering and leaving the apartment with Joseph, and the
other is Zofia lived alone in City N with a child by her side.
They had evidence and the picture, so Kathy had definitely become a mistress.
"Why did those reporters get these information?" Kathy asked excitedly.
She felt that if Joseph didn’t approve, those reporters wouldn't have dared to report the news.
"I was also surprised." Joseph's tone was still calm.
"Surprised? Is there anything that can surprise you, the heir of the Joseph family, in this world?" Kathy
laughed coldly.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window. Joseph sat in his office. His dark eyes slightly
narrowed, and only after a long time did he say in a deep voice, "Of course."
"Why would you do that?" Kathy, however, was sure that Joseph did this intentionally.
After all, he just wanted to torture her.
"Did I say that our affair must not be exposed?" Joseph asked indifferently, however.
Kathy was speechless. It was true that they had not communicated about this.
But Joseph had also said that he would not let Zofia know.
And now, Zofia would definitely know.
"Since you don't want people to know about our relationship, just deny it."
"Do you think anyone will believe my words?" Kathy said angrily.
Once these scandals broke out, she couldn't explain it.
"That's your problem."
Kathy was so angry that she hung up the phone. Evil! Pervert! Bastard!
How could she have been blind and fallen in love with this man three years ago!
But the most important thing now was that the news must not been spread, it must be suppressed as
fast as possible.
After instructing the PR department to do so, she left Booth Group from the underground parking lot
and went straight to Boston Hospital.
…
When Joseph saw Kathy coming, he was not surprised, and even sat gracefully on the sofa, as if he
was waiting for her.
"Joseph, I want you to withdraw the news right now!" Kathy glared at him with a strong sense of hatred.
If her mother knew about all this, she was bound to be irritated, and she couldn't afford to be irritated
anymore!
She was now the president of Booth Group and represented the shares of Booth Group to the outside
world. Once this matter was exposed, Booth Group will definitely be affected.
Recently the situation of Booth Group has just improved, she did not want the situation to become
uncontrollable again.
Clenching her fist tightly, she looked at Joseph indifferently.
He just took a sip of coffee slowly and looked at her, "You're ordering me?"
"No, I'm begging you." Kathy said calmly.
She knew she didn't have the capital to negotiate with Joseph, and in front of him anyway, she had no
dignity left long ago.
