Recently, Kathy almost cooked every night, but when Joseph came back tonight, the house was empty.
After looking around, he couldn’t find Kathy.
He called Kathy, but her phone had been turned off!
With a sullen look, he instructed John, “I want to know the whereabouts of my wife within an hour.”
Kathy was in a mall right now. She just wanted to go out for a walk.
She didn’t want to doubt Joseph, but some facts made her suspicious about him.
She came into a bar and seated herself. It was already late at night and a singer was performing on
stage.
She ordered a glass of non-alcoholic wine, but in the next moment, a familiar voice sounded.
“Change her drink to the Long Island Iced Tea.”
Billy sat opposite Kathy and smiled, “Since you came here, you should drink wine.”
“I also ordered wine.” Kathy frowned.
“Since you have worries, drinking alcohol will make you feel much better.”
Kathy remained silent. In fact, she also wanted to use alcohol to slightly anesthetize herself.
In that case, maybe she could pretend to be ignorant of some things.
“Don’t worry. If you get drunk, I’ll send you back. You won’t encounter any danger.”
“Do you think I’ll believe you?” Kathy said coldly.
She never let her guard down in front of Billy.
Even though she knew that he might be her relative, she couldn’t change her attitude towards him so
quickly.
“If you don’t believe me, do you believe in Joseph?” Billy asked bluntly.
Kathy’s expression changed.
“Right now, the only one who can affect your mood is him. Can you tell me what happened?” Billy
asked with concern.
Kathy frowned and did not speak for a long time.
“What I told you is correct,” said Billy.
He continued, “Do you still believe him? Herbert has already been released from prison, and Joseph
has been very close to the Herberts recently,” Billy said in a deep voice.
“Billy, can you tell me why he did this?”
“I don’t know why.”
Then he continued, “I did everything for your own good, Kathy. His purpose in marrying you is not
simple. Perhaps he has already known your identity, so he married you.”
Kathy clenched her fists tightly. During this period of time, she had also thought of this possibility.
However, when faced with Joseph, she subconsciously believed him.
She was firmly convinced that he was not that kind of person.
However, it was indeed too strange for him to offer to marry her back then.
The Josephs were prominent, and her social status was way different from his. How could he choose
her as a marriage partner?
“It’s time for me to go back.” Kathy did not drink any wine.
She was afraid that if she got drunk, Billy would do something bad to her.
“Stay with me for a while.” Billy grabbed her arm.
Kathy frowned. A glint of resistance appeared on her face.
“You are my sister, so we are relatives. Kathy, you must believe me.” Billy’s tone was aggressive.
Kathy pursed her lips and looked at the man in front of her. The word “relative” was very unfamiliar to
her.
“Billy, that’s enough.” Kathy pushed him away.
After she left the bar, Billy continued to follow her. “I’ll send you back.”
“No need.”
“Did Joseph bully you?”
“No. Don’t talk nonsense. Stay away from me!” Kathy glared at him angrily.
Right now, she just wanted to be alone.
Pursing his lips, Billy continued walking behind Kathy.
He was trying his best to restrain himself from loving her. But sometimes, he just couldn’t control his
feelings.
Kathy did not know where to go. She got into a taxi and thought for a moment. Then she decided to
return to the AN Road Community.
Although her mother had moved away, that place had always been her home.
After walking into the old neighborhood, she returned to her mom’s house. Although the lights weren’t
on, she could still feel that there was someone inside!
She froze. Standing at the door, she asked in a trembling voice, “Who?”
If it was a thief, why was he so quiet?
“Kathy.” A deep voice rang out. Kathy did not let out a sigh of relief. Instead, she felt terrified.
How did Joseph get in?
The key fell from her hand and Kathy immediately turned on the light.
In a white shirt and black trousers, Joseph was sitting on the small sofa. His intimidating manner made
Kathy not dare to approach him.
She could tell he was angry.
Kathy closed the door and said after a while, “How did you get in?”
“Mom gave me the key earlier.”
“Oh.” Kathy heaved a sigh of relief.
However, when she saw Joseph, she was unable to remain calm.
“Why is your phone off?” he asked.
“It ran out of battery.”
Kathy stood a meter away from him and did not approach him.
With a fierce look, he walked over. Kathy was then forced into a corner by him.
She tried to push him away.
“Joseph.” He could see her reluctant expression.
After her chin was raised by him, Kathy pushed him away.
“You … stay away from me,” she said angrily.
Undoubtedly, her words had made him fly into a rage. He held her shoulders tightly and Kathy could
not move at all.
Joseph’s gaze was extremely frightening.
Kathy’s heart was beating wildly and she only wanted to leave him!
“Kathy, can you say it again?” he asked in a threatening voice.
“Stay away from me!”
After she said that, Joseph kissed her on the lips. His kiss was like a fierce storm, and Kathy barely had
no strength to resist him.
She could smell the familiar scent on his body, but at this moment, she only wanted to escape.
She kicked him hard, and when Joseph was distracted, she slapped him in the face.
Kathy’s face turned pale. Panting heavily, she pushed him away and ran out.
Joseph quickly pulled her back and held her in his arms. Pressing her head, he asked, “Tell me, why
did you resist me?”
Kathy bit her lips and looked up at Joseph. Wearing a disappointed look, she said word by word, “What
is your relationship with Herbert?”
Joseph pursed his thin lips and did not answer.
Kathy’s heart sank within her.
What else could she expect from him?
She wanted an explanation, but he didn’t give her one.
He had always been lying to her.
“Joseph, fuck off.”
Kathy had never been so angry, because the man in front of her was the person she had always
believed in.
Joseph pressed her on the shoulder. With a grim look, he said, “Follow me back.”
“I won’t go back.”
“It’s not up to you, Kathy. Don’t lose your temper with me.” Joseph narrowed his eyes, grabbed her
wrist and wanted to take her away.
“I’m not losing my temper. Joseph, you’ve been lying to me all the time. Why did you help Herbert get
off the hook? Why?”
Joseph did not answer. He took her all the way out. Then they saw Billy standing at the top of the
stairs.
He had followed Kathy to the apartment. When seeing that Kathy was pulled by Joseph, he glowered at
him.
“Joseph, let go of Kathy.” Billy stopped him.
Ignoring Billy, Joseph was about to walk away with Kathy in his arms.
But this time, Kathy extended her hand towards Billy.
She looked at Joseph indifferently. “I won’t go back. Don’t force me.”
Force?
Joseph was burning with rage. When he saw Kathy and Billy holding their hands, his eyes narrowed
menacingly.
“Kathy, what are you doing?”
