Kathy wanted to escape. Joseph pressed down and stopped her.
“Mrs. Joseph, I have the final say in this marriage,” Joseph said coldly.
“Joseph, we’re equal!”
“Yes, I agree. I respect you, do I?”
“You helped those who hurt me. Did you show your respect by that?” Kathy sneered.
Joseph squinted his eyes coldly and said, “I didn’t help Herbert.”
“Who did that?” Kathy looked at him.
“I will take revenge on those who hurt you!” Joseph’s voice softened.
However, Kathy didn’t believe him. Herbert slandered NCHV Medical Company for producing fake
medicines. Although they had the evidence, Joseph didn’t sue Herbert.
Herbert was involved in the bribery case, but she was able to mitigate her punishment. Kathy saw that
Herbert was in Joseph’s car.
Kathy couldn’t help but suspect him.
She didn’t want to suspect him.
“Joseph, I don’t need your help. We can’t interfere with each other,” Kathy said indifferently.
“Can you do it?” Joseph was unhappy. He observed her expressions.
He noticed that she hesitated.
How could she do that?
She wanted to control herself, but she fell in love with Joseph.
“I can,” Kathy said angrily.
Even if she couldn’t, she had to control herself.
If she couldn’t get a divorce, at least she had to stay away from him. She must control herself.
“If you didn’t go back to the Joseph Bay, I would stay here.” Joseph stepped back. His voice became
gentler.
“It’s none of my business.” She was indifferent. She wanted to leave.
Joseph grabbed his wrist and said, “Let’s eat before leaving.”
“I have no appetite!”
“I cooked your favorite sweet and sour ribs.”
“I don’t want to eat.”
“If you didn’t eat, I wouldn’t let you go.” Joseph had locked the door.
Kathy glared at him angrily, gritted her teeth and sat down.
She admired Joseph’s cooking skills. The dishes were good-looking and tasty. Although the dishes
were cold, they were delicious.
Kathy ate slowly and didn’t eat much.
Joseph looked at her. His emotions were complicated.
“Can I go now?” Kathy put down her chopsticks.
“OK. Study hard.”
After she returned home, she started reviewing. Gradually, Joseph appeared in her books and she saw
him everywhere.
His shadow sometimes became clear and sometimes became blurry.
Kathy scratched her head irritably, but she couldn’t stop thinking of him.
She could only walk to the balcony and distract herself.
He lived the house across her house. The distance between him and her became close again.
He said he would take revenge on those who hurt her.
However, she minded Herbert.
She called Sue.
“Sue, can you help me investigate something?”
Sue grew up in the Fletcher’s. The Fletchers were powerful. It wasn’t difficult for her to investigate
something.
“Of course.”
“Herbert was excused from her punishment. Can you find out the reason?”
“OK. I will help you. It may take some time. I’m not as powerful as Lincoln.”
“Don’t let Lincoln know that.” Kathy frowned.
“I see. You didn’t seek help from Joseph. Instead, you seek help from me. I know the reason.” Sue was
smart.
“Did you quarrel with Joseph?”
“I moved out. I don’t know how to face him.” Kathy frowned.
She trusted him. She felt sad that he deceived her.
“Do you suspect that Joseph helped Herbert?”
“I want to believe him.”
“For all I know, Joseph and Herbert are strangers. How could Herbert have a relationship with Joseph?”
Sue said coldly.
“She isn’t simple. She was able to be excused from her punishment.”
“I’ll help you find that out. Uncle Fletcher works in the bureau. I’ll visit him tomorrow. Wait for my news.”
“Sue, thank you,” Kathy said sincerely.
She had known Sue for a short while. She was grateful for Sue’s help.
“Lincoln and Joseph are good friends. Since you are Mrs. Joseph, I must help you.”
“Wait for my news.”
After Kathy hung up the phone, she reviewed for a while and decided to go to bed early because she
couldn’t concentrate on her studies.
It was raining outside. Her phone rang. Billy texted her.
He reminded her that there might be a heavy rain at night and she should shut the doors and windows.
Kathy replied with a sticker. When she closed the window, she heard the thunder.
She had been afraid of the thunder since she was young, so she trembled.
The rain was getting heavier. When she closed the balcony door, she heard the thunder again. She
heard that the glass shattered.
The window of the balcony fell down. It shattered into pieces on the ground.
She lived on a low floor. The balcony led straight to the living room. If the window were not repaired in
time, it would be dangerous.
Moreover, she couldn’t fall asleep in such a situation.
She heard a knock at the door. Kathy didn’t know what to do. It was Joseph. She opened the door.
He heard the thunder.
“Mrs. Joseph, don’t be afraid.” Her face was pale. He was worried.
Joseph hugged her. His chin rested on top of her head. He comforted her gently.
Kathy calmed down, took a deep breath, looked up and noticed that they hugged each other.
She flushed. “I’m fine.”
Joseph saw the situation in the house.
The window of the balcony shattered and the glass even fell into the living room.
It was late and it was raining heavily, so the repairmen couldn’t come here in time.
“It’s better for you to sleep in my house tonight. It’s dangerous here.” Joseph held her hand.
Kathy wanted to get rid of him, but she failed.
She frowned when she saw the glass on the ground.
She didn’t have the guts to sleep alone.
As for Joseph ... she hesitated.
He noticed that and felt unhappy. “Mrs. Joseph, believe me.”
“I’ll sleep in the living room,” Kathy didn’t answer his question and changed the topic.
“You sleep in the bedroom. I’ll sleep in the living room,” Joseph said firmly.
Kathy walked into his bedroom. It was small and wasn’t comparable to the Joseph Bay.
The decoration was simple and crude. The house was old. How could Joseph adapt to living here...?
Looking at Joseph who was busy with his work, Kathy wanted to cry.
There was a laptop and a pile of documents on the table. He wore rimless glasses and a white shirt
that showed his perfect upper body. His silhouette was charming.
He concentrated on his work.
He was tall and strong. He was out of place in such a narrow place.
It was early. She couldn’t fall sleep.
Thinking of they staying together again, Kathy felt unhappy.
However, Joseph had the magic power to make her weaken when she looked at him.
