“I don’t dare to delay Master Fletcher, after all, you’ve been so concerned over me, I can’t keep
squeezing you, right?” Joseph raised his eyebrow and smiled.
“Hmph, if you don’t let me stay, I’ll go to Hilton Group.” Lincoln said intentionally.
Joseph and he knew each other for a long time and didn’t take it seriously. Initially, Lincoln was willing
to come to the Joseph Group firstly because of Joseph, and another reason was that they had a
common enemy.
“The Hilton Group acquired the Herbert Group and can be considered a merger. Kingston was a
powerful figure in N City for the past few years. Billy’s move was very conservative.” When they started
to talk about work, Joseph chillingly frowned.
In his estimation, Peter won’t be bankrupt so easily.
“Even if they join forces with the Herbert Group, they are no match for our prowess. Joseph, after all
these years, I can’t endure it anymore.” Lincoln coolly squinted his eyes.
The two of them chatted about work in the office. Lincoln just came back to N city and they called a few
friends to join them at the bar that night.
“Joseph, do you want to call your wife along? I’m very curious about her.” Lincoln held onto the wine
glass and squinted his eyes.
After all, all this while Joseph isn’t interested in womanizing and suddenly he was married. He was
curious about how it happened.
“She’s working at NCHV Medical Company. If you want to see her, come for a meeting tomorrow.” At
this moment, Johnson also came.
“So, who is she?” Seeing that Joseph was tightlipped, Lincoln turned and asked Johnson.
Johnson had a look at Joseph, raised his eyebrow, and said, “She’s not in our circle of friends.”
“So your grandfather agreed?” Lincoln asked.
“Grandfather accepted and he was very satisfied,” Joseph said.
“Johnson, then I’ll come for the meeting tomorrow.” Lincoln looked at him and raised his glass.
Joseph frowned silently and checked on his phone, it was past midnight.
She should already be asleep.
At this moment, John walked in and leaned forward next to Joseph and said, “Billy mentioned to the
higher-ups about the rejection, now HY Group temporary doesn’t need to relocate to Africa.”
Joseph was calm and his mood didn’t change drastically.
He twirled his wine glass, the scarlet red wine reflected in his deep eyes and the chill was overflowing.
“How’s the investigation into today’s matters?”
“Indeed it was Peter who used Missus to threaten Billy. Thereafter Billy and Peter had a long talk.”
“Billy is related to your wife?” Lincoln asked coldly.
Joseph maintained his cool and his entire aura was very insidious.
It was as if the wine glass would shatter in his hand. He nonchalantly said, “Kathy is too naïve and Billy
approached her on his own. She wouldn’t detect it.”
“I found out that Kathy’s mother Angela and Mrs. Hilton’s relationship was complicated. Joseph, you
should take note.” Johnson cautioned.
If Kathy has to lean on Billy, then Joseph must be extra careful.
“She is my wife, I trust her,” Joseph said sternly.
Joseph left soon after.
Lincoln frowned in dissatisfaction, “Joseph, to think that I just came back! Come back here! We shall
drink to our heart's content!”
Joseph didn’t stop but when he stepped out of the private room, Edith walked over.
When she saw that Joseph wanted to leave, she looked upset, “Joseph, I just came, don’t go back so
early.”
Joseph said expressionlessly, “Edith, my wife is at home waiting for me.”
After he said that, he left in big strides.
Edith’s disappointment began to spread. When Lincoln saw her standing at the door, he invited her in.
“Do you know before about his marriage?” Lincoln asked.
Edith nodded, “Several months ago I went on a business trip and met Joseph. At that time, he was
already with Kathy.”
“This guy is too much! I’m the only one who doesn’t know about this! Looks like I’ve arranged wrongly.”
Lincoln slapped his forehead. If he had known that Joseph was married, he wouldn’t have arranged for
Edith to go to the Joseph Group.
Edith’s interest was on Joseph but now if he were to retract his orders, then it will reflect negatively on
Edith.
Joseph Bay.
Kathy took a shower early and laid on the bed but she tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep.
She wanted to call Joseph but when she thought about his cold and distant expression, she put down
her phone.
Familiar footsteps can be heard from outside and Kathy could tell that Joseph was back.
She immediately covered her head with the blanket with her back towards the door.
When Joseph came back, his body reeked of alcohol and Kathy frowned.
So he had gone for a drink?
The blanket was dragged away and Joseph turned on the lights. Under the warm lights, his handsome
brows and eyes frowned slightly as he looked at Kathy but remained silent.
Kathy closed her eyes but her eyelashes were twitching and revealed that she was faking.
The familiar breathing was getting closer and closer. Kathy thought that Joseph wanted to kiss her and
immediately opened her eyes and was on the alert.
“You… stay away from me!” Kathy raised her hand and pushed Joseph’s shoulders.
But he’s large hands grabbed Kathy’s small hands and Kathy was unable to resist and was completely
trapped below him.
“Stay away from you? Missus Joseph, we are supposed to sleep together.” He said sternly.
“Aren’t you angry with me? If so, don’t come near me.” Kathy said angrily.
In the evening she spent a lot of effort preparing dinner for him and to think that he ended up going for
a drink!
Joseph squinted and pinched Kathy’s chin until she had no choice but to look at him, “Yes, I’m very
angry but I’m angry with myself. When you were threatened by Peter, I wasn’t by your side and I wasn’t
the one who saved you.”
Kathy was puzzled, so… is Joseph feeling guilty?
But it was her who rejected Joseph accompanying her and she doesn’t want to be seen with him in
public.
She can’t blame him for that.
Kathy bit her lip in heartache when she saw Joseph’s disappointment with himself.
What he had done had already exceeded their agreed relationship.
“Kathy, next time I’ll lock you to my side, okay?” Joseph’s face leaned nearer and pressed onto Kathy’s
forehead. His every word sank into her ears.
What a bully.
But Kathy wasn’t disgusted.
She had been back at NCHV Medical Company for a month but she missed working with Joseph.
She thinks of him during work, she thinks of him when she’s resting. She thinks of him all the time.
She’s really… really mad.
“Why are you so excessive?” She looked at Joseph and pushed his chest, but… she could budge it.
He smiled and his voice was soft and deep, “Yes, and I can be even more excessive. Mrs. Joseph, if
something really happens to you, I don’t know what will I do…”
Kathy’s heart raced, her breath was already stolen by Joseph. He firmly pressed her onto the bed and
proceeded.
