"Well, I can be really scary if I go on a shopping spree," Kathy said jokingly.
Though she didn't really have to buy anything as there were tons of clothes, shoes and handbags lying
around at home. They were more than enough.
“Really? Let me test it out." Upon finishing his sentence, Joseph brought her into a jewellery shop.
Kathy was baffled, the shop assistant immediately came over and greeted them, in front of Kathy were
rows and rows of the diamond necklaces.
"I don't need them." Kathy tried to drag Joseph away. She owed him way too much money, how could
she ask for more?
But Joseph was overbearing about it, he wasn't going to change his mind. Hence, Kathy walked around
the store, she didn't pick out anything even though she did lay her eyes on a few items.
Joseph squinted, he glimpsed at Kathy and he saw that she was unenthusiastic about the whole
matter. He felt slightly irritated.
"Bring me the products of the month with the latest design. I'll take all of them." Joseph said abruptly.
Kathy's eyes were now wide open, the shop assistant diligently brought over the latest set of
necklaces, bracelets and rings. By force of habit Kathy quickly glanced at the price, she couldn't even
finish counting the number of zeroes on the price tags.
"Sir, this is our "Beloved" series, it is our latest jewellery set and it was just in the market last week.
There's only one set in City N, it's one of a kind."
Joseph briefly muttered "yes" to the shop assistant and proceeded to pay the bill.
Kathy yanked him and tried to stop him, but his mind was set.
The shop assistant let Kathy try on the jewellery, she looked at herself in the mirror and she was
glowing. Her skin was pale, to begin with, and with the shiny jewellery, she was radiant and
shimmering.
She only ever owned the golden chain that her father left behind ever since she was young. She
wouldn't have thought of buying or even looking at such jewellery when she went on her usual
shopping trips together with Alexia.
"Would you please wrap it up for me," Kathy requested as the shop assistant took off the jewellery that
she tried on.
"Yes, Miss Kathy." The shop assistant explained a few methods to keep the jewellery in good
conditions, but Kathy's eyes were set on Joseph.
The more she received, the more anxious she got.
They went back to the villa after that.
At night, Kathy received a call from her mom.
"Daughter, I'm at the police station…"
Kathy got butterflies in her stomach, she turned her head towards Joseph.
"We have to go to the police station."
Angela didn't explain what was going on and mentioned that she was only going there to report an
issue and that she would leave soon.
Kathy said to Angela as she went to pick her up," Mom, what happened?"
"Well, I received prank calls almost every day and I cannot take it anymore. It goes on from day to
night, I didn't know what to do and so I decided to go to the police station to report it."
"Would you let me see the number?" asked Joseph.
Angela passed him her phone, she would blacklist the prank calls numbers immediately after she
received the calls or texts every time. Nevertheless, they were persistent and would use a new number
to contact her again.
And the calls and texts were filled with profanity, Angela was stressed out and couldn't sleep well at all.
"Could we trace it?" Kathy asked the man next to her.
"Yeah, leave it to me." Joseph's expression darkened, he quickly made a call and told John to give
Angela a new number.
But Angela wasn't willing to change her number, "I cannot change this number, I need to keep using the
same number!"
Kathy frowned, no matter what happened, Angela would never want to change her number. She
thought about it before, she figured that Angela might still be waiting for that man.
"I just need half a day to look into the sim card."
Angela was visibly moved, but she stubbornly took the sim card back from him.
Kathy then tugged her gently and reassured her, "Mom, I will be by your side, the people will contact
me if they couldn't contact you."
Angela was still hesitant, but in the end, she gave in and agreed to use the new sim card for the time
being.
That night, Kathy accompanied her mom at the apartment, Joseph didn't go back to the old house and
went to the Joseph's Group instead.
John worked very efficiently, he got the data on Angela's sim card, programmed a special interception
on it to filter out the prank calls and gave it back to Angela that very night.
Angela was surprised, she didn't receive another call nor a text within the next hour.
"Daughter, Dr. Joseph can really handle anything!"
