In the car, Kathy looked at Joseph and hesitated before she could say anything.
“If you have something to say, just say it.” Joseph frowned and slowed down the car.
“I want you to take a look at these drugs for me.” Kathy handed him the picture on her phone.
Joseph’s sharp eyes narrowed. “Jennifer’s?”
Kathy nodded slowly. Looking at Joseph’s expression, she wondered if he would be angry.
She knew that Joseph had always hated her associating with the Hiltons, but this….
“What happened to her?” Joseph’s voice was warm and calm.
“Chronic heart failure. I find her sickness too strange, so I want to check it out,” Kathy explained.
The car drove into Joseph Bay. Joseph looked at the photo and scanned the labels one by one.
“They are routine drugs. Regular intake can control the illness.”
Kathy paused for a moment, then took out a transparent bag. In it were some pills she took from
Jennifer’s drug bottle.
“Take a look at this.”
“An outsider may assume you are a Hilton.” Joseph suddenly smiled.
Kathy frowned. Alright, she noticed that he was jealousy.
“Dr. Joseph, Mrs. Hilton is good to me,” Kathy said.
“And I am not?” Joseph turned his head, his eyes burning.
“Dr. Joseph treats me the best!” Kathy’s heart warmed up as she smiled.
Joseph clasped the back of her head, his handsome face approaching, blocking her scorching breath.
Kathy shouted softly. Joseph got on the top of her, fierce, gripping her wrists upwards. Her struggle was
simply futile.
After a long moment, Kathy flushed up to her ears, and Joseph let go of her with satisfaction.
“You got what you wanted. Now can you check this medicine for me?”
Kathy didn’t forget business.
“Come and find me tomorrow at the Joseph’s Group.”
Back to the Joseph Bay, Joseph started working, while John had been waiting for him.
“Mr. Joseph, this is what you have asked me to find.”
Joseph opened the file, which contained everything about Kathy since her birth.
“I want the records of the operating room for Jennifer’s miscarriage 25 years ago.”
“Got it.”
As John was leaving, Kathy met him bringing Joseph supper.
John was a usual visitor of this place, so Kathy was used to it.
“Assistant John, have something before you go?” Kathy asked politely.
“Mrs. Joseph, it’s time for me to leave. You should leave it to Mr. Joseph.”
John nodded slightly, turned around, and looked at Kathy with a meaningful gaze.
Kathy was puzzled by him. Is there anything on her face?
Standing in front of the mirror, she didn’t notice anything unusual.
It was already late at night. Kathy entered the study room, and Joseph was standing in front of the
French window, his figure tall.
She had thought he was on business so she had waited outside.
Something was bothering him?
Kathy stood at the door, finding him to be a stranger.
“Joseph,” she called him.
The man did not turn around, as if he was lost in thought.
Kathy walked over and stopped half a meter behind him. Joseph was very tall, 1.9 meters, while she
was only 1.65 meters tall, reaching merely his shoulders.
She hugged his waist and asked, “Is there anything troubling you?”
As a matter of fact, Joseph seemed to have never told her any of his secrets. She had no idea what he
was thinking.
Passion could be ignited at times, but both parties were just extracting what they needed in day-to-day
life.
There was actually a huge gap between them.
Disappointment roared from Kathy’s eyes.
“It’s work.” Joseph turned around as he hid his sinister look from her.
Kathy looked up, knowing that he did not want to share, so she didn’t pursue the matter further.
The next day, Kathy went straight to the Joseph’s Group from work.
Although she rarely came, Joseph told her that she didn’t need to notify anyone on the way to his office
at the top floor, so she got there unhindered.
Lincoln just walked out, looking gloomy, his vibe cold.
Noticing Kathy, he slowed down his pace.
His deep gaze gave her a chill.
“What happened?” She had a hunch that Lincoln had something to say.
“I don’t know what Peter is doing, but he keeps slandering NCHV. Since I am its president, I will not
tolerate it.”
Kathy frowned, not understanding what he meant.
He quickly walked away. Kathy was stunned for a moment. She stopped in front of the president’s
office and John went in to inform Joseph about her arrival.
Joseph was in a meeting, so Kathy had to wait outside. She tapped her phone and saw the news of
Peter leaving the police station.
Moreover, he had revealed to the reporters that his mother, Sammy, had died of sudden illness half a
year ago because of NCHV drugs, so the incident was currently under investigation.
It had been less than half an hour since the news was released. No wonder she hadn’t heard anything
when she got off work just now.
She perused the report. It had been half a year since Sammy died, but Peter had been investigating
the real cause of her death. Finally, a week ago, that is, before he was arrested, he submitted the latest
evidence to the police.
Her hands trembled, and Peter’s words kept ringing in her ears, “You killed my mother....”
It turned out that he had never given up on the investigation.
However, how could this have anything to do with NCHV?
Sammy died because of overdose of sleeping pills. Kathy remembered that NCHV did produce
sleeping pills, but they were absolutely safe and standard.
“Mrs. Joseph, you can go in now.”
Kathy came back to her senses and walked into the office with a pale face. Joseph was sitting on the
sofa with thick documents on the table in front of him.
“You know about Peter?” Kathy’s voice trembled.
Joseph’s face darkened, but he didn’t panic in the slightest.
He nodded indifferently.
“What’s going on?” Kathy’s mind was in a mess.
“He couldn’t reverse the case on his own, but he has got help.”
Help....
The Herberts were no longer what they used to be, so the help was from....
Billy had been working for the Hilton Group. Could it be him?
“I’m not sure yet, but NCHV has gone through the MT Medicine incident and now is affected by this
drug-induced death which can be a fatal blow to any company.” Joseph frowned, his expression
gloomy.
Peter’s move was indeed unexpected.
Kathy understood what Joseph meant. This was not the first time NCHV had been questioned. If the
public completely lost confidence in a company, then it would be difficult for it to win over the market
with its drugs.
What was worse, a death had occurred.
No wonder Lincoln was so angry.
However, she could not predict this.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t suspected the reason for Sammy’s sudden death, but that without any
evidence, she could only accept the fact.
