"Do you think I need to threaten her to marry me? She came to me herself."
"If you really like Kathy, you wouldn't force her." Jennifer said solemnly.
"If she didn’t love me, I never mind playing tricks to let her marry m. Otherwise, why I would allow you
to marry my father?" Reece's voice was cold.
Jennifer shuddered and looked at Reece in surprise.
"It turns out that everything is because of Kathy." Jennifer's face gradually became full of vicissitudes.
She was wrong, she shouldn't have been with Karl in the first place. The Bridges family was too
dangerous and complicated.
After all, she got her daughter into trouble.
"Mom, don't worry, I will treat Kathy well. You and dad will stay in the Country K in the future. You don't
need to worry about us." After that, he quickly turned around, and left.
Jennifer could hardly stand still, and staggered a few steps back. Fortunately, the nurse behind her
helped her to stand still.
After checking the time, she went back to the ward and saw that Karl was asleep, so she went to the
hotel.
Kathy didn't sleep, and was sitting on the sofa looking at the medical report. Vivian was sending her the
events of meeting in two days. She couldn't participate, but she had to write a report while watching the
video of the meeting.
Until someone knocked on the door, Kathy realized that it was almost twelve o'clock. She thought it
was Reece, but when she saw her mother, Kathy gave a smile.
But Jennifer's face was obviously terrible, as pale as paper and looked bloodless.
"Mom, are you ok?" Kathy immediately supported her.
Jennifer waved her hand and walked in weakly. Her hand which held Kathy's was shaking.
She thought a lot along the way. If she surrendered to Country F, Reece would no longer have
opportunities to threaten Kathy, and her daughter would not need to marry Reece.
But Karl was advanced in years. She wanted to stay with Karl so much in the afternoon of life.
She was very tangled.
In the past twenty-five years, she had not been by Kathy's side. She didn't want Kathy to lose the
happiness because of her.
"Mom?"
Seeing Jennifer's eye getting redder, Kathy became even more worried.
"Kathy, Mom won't let you marry Reece." Jennifer said firmly.
Kathy was silent, without speaking for a long time.
"I'm sorry. After a few days Karl's health improves, I will go back to City N."
"Mom, what are you going back for?" Kathy felt something wrong will happen.
Jennifer didn't say anything, but told Kathy to take a good rest and went back to the hospital.
But Kathy couldn’t rest assured. If she doesn't agree to Reece to marry him, Reece will definitely
denounce her mother. She knew the man's methods very well.
She closed her eyes deeply. She was not sleepy at all, and there was only one thought left in her mind
that she could not let her mother go back to City N.
The next day, Kathy came to the hospital early. Karl had to be hospitalized for a month because of a
fracture, and he was in good spirits.
When his mother went out to bring Karl breakfast, Karl asked Kathy to come by.
"Dad." Kathy fed him a glass of warm water. Knowing that Karl had something to say, she went to shut
the door.
"Now you probably know Bridges Group’s situation. My influence has gradually diminished. From now
on, Bridges Group will belong to my bastard son." Karl said solemnly.
After this serious illness, his body was weakened a lot, and now Bridges Group’s power in Europe was
almost completely took over by Reece, and he had no status anymore.
The ambition of this son was far beyond his expectations.
He was really old.
"I know." Kathy said in a low voice.
"I dealt with Reece for a month. He told me that he wants to marry you. What do you think?"
"I promised."
Karl was obviously surprised. He didn't expect Kathy would promise.
After all, in the past three years, the relationship between Reece and Kathy has been lukewarm, and
even though Reece loved her, Kathy had no feelings.
He could tell.
"If you don't want to..."
"Dad, I'm willing to marry him. Don’t worry me." Kathy said solemnly.
Karl was silent. At this moment, he couldn't see through the child.
Her temperament has always been cold. He and Jennifer almost never needed to worry about her. She
was very independent and excellent, but she hadn’t fallen in love with anyone in the past three years.
She didn't like Reece, but now she was willing to marry him. He naturally understood Kathy's thoughts.
He can't let his wife have an accident, and now it seemed that only this way can save her.
"Are you really willing?" Karl asked uncertainly.
Kathy nodded seriously, "This is my decision, Dad."
Not long after Jennifer came back, she told Kathy to go back to Country F earlier, and she would look
after Karl here.
"Mom, then call me if you need help." Kathy exhorted again and again.
She booked a ticket to go back to Country F tomorrow. Before that, she asked Reece to meet in
Bridges’ House.
It was the afternoon when the sun was still shining brightly, but it was not hot at all. Instead, a breeze
caressed the cheeks.
The weather was good, but Kathy was not in good mood.
When she entered the living room, Reece was already sitting on the sofa with two long legs
overlapping. His perfect figure was outlined in a black shirt, and his face was handsome.
Now this man’s aura was not intimidating, but was still dangerous.
Kathy's feet stiffened. She slowly sat down opposite Reece.
There was a stack of materials in front of them, about some detailed planning of their wedding.
Reece’s action was really fast.
"For our wedding, you can tell me what you think."
"Do my thoughts matter?" Kathy asked indifferently.
"Very important, it’s up to you."
Kathy frowned, and slowly opened the materials in front of her. These wedding designs were very
beautiful and romantic, but the person she will marry was Reece, so Kathy couldn't be interested at all.
"I like this." She glanced casually.
Reece was watching her all the time, knowing that Kathy was just playing games with him.
"Is there anything else for me to decide?" Kathy looked at Reece calmly.
Now she was like a robot at the mercy of others, with no trace of emotion on her face, only endless
indifference.
He only felt extremely angry, and suddenly he smashed the glass beside him severely. Kathy was
scared and raised her head. Facing Reece's gloomy face, she just smiled sarcastically.
"Kathy, I want you to marry me willingly." He spoke with a patronizing command in his voice.
"I am very willing." Kathy looked at him innocently.
She felt that she was... very cooperative.
Why he was still unhappy?
The next second, Reece grabbed her by the wrist and took her directly to the second floor. When Kathy
came to her senses, she immediately pressed against the wall and didn’t want to walk forward.
But her strength was naturally inferior to Reece, and she was immediately dragged into the room. The
violent closing of the door resounded behind her, making Kathy pale with fright.
