"Kathy, look at me.” Joseph turned her face with his uninjured hand.
With a pale face, Kathy looked down.
"You don't need to care about other people, you know."
"But she is your sister, Joseph , she is your sister." Kathy murmured.
She knew how much Joseph cared about his sister.
She didn’t want to wreck their relationship.
In particular, she was also one of her stimuli.
"I’m here." Joseph looked at her solemnly.
Kathy pursed her lips and said nothing.
As long as she had a relationship with Billy, Veronica would hate her.
…
Old house of the Joseph family.
Quinn brought Veronica back, but she had always been making trouble, disturbing all the family.
Quinn was almost hit by the pillow Veronica threw when he went to her room.
Veronica calmed down when she saw her grandpa.
"What are you doing?"
"Grandpa, Joseph can't marry Kathy!"
"Damn you, don't talk nonsense!" Mathew’s face looked drawn and taut.
"I’m not talking nonsense, Kathy is his…sister. How can I get along with her?" Veronica said blankly.
She had unpleasant impression on Kathy. Now knowing Kathy’s identity, she couldn't hold with her
anymore.
She could not tolerate anyone who was related to the Hilton family.
Mathew frowned, and he didn't expect Kathy to be related to the Hilton family.
"You don’t live in City N, so you don't need to get along with her."
"So, are you going to keep me from seeing my brother for the rest of my life?" Veronica sneered.
"Veronica, Joseph is going to marry Kathy, not the Hilton family." Mathew spoke in a conciliating voice.
But obviously it was useless, Veronica said radically, "No... she is related to the Hilton family, she is
Billy's sister, she is my enemy..."
"Grandpa, I'll take her to rest first." Quinn frowned, and could only force Veronica away.
"Quinn, I'm not wrong. I want grandpa to see the truth." Veronica said coldly.
"Since it is your brother's choice, you should respect him."
Veronica curled her lips coldly, "If he still treats me as his younger sister, he must divorce Kathy!"
Quinn conveyed Veronica's words to Joseph.
Joseph frowned slightly, with coldness in his eyes.
"Take good care of her, don't let her show up at tomorrow’s wedding."
Quinn sighed solemnly, "Is that woman really from the Hilton family?"
"She has nothing to do with Billy."
"But Veronica that she have heard it from Kathy’s own lips. They have the same father but different
mothers.”
"Quinn, she is from the Joseph family. You should remember that."
Joseph was so authoritative that no one dared to refute.
…
According to custom, Joseph and Kathy could not meet on the night before the wedding.
She lived in the old castle of the Booth family, and Alexia accompanied her.
Alexia had heard about Veronica, but she did not find out what happened between Veronica and Billy.
"Veronica is repelling you, she may not show up tomorrow." Alexia said with concern.
If she were there, the wedding would not be held smoothly.
"Well, Joseph said that she will be sent to Country C as soon as possible. She will not attend the
wedding."
"That's good, but the identity of you and Billy is really embarrassing."
Kathy looked down, she didn't mind a bit.
Therefore, she never thought that she would be rejected because of her identity.
The pain in her neck reminded her how much Veronica hated her.
"But don't think about it, you are Joseph’s wife, and he will definitely protect you." Alexia comforted her.
Kathy smiled, and she trusted Joseph.
Not seeing him for just a day, she missed him very much.
"Alexia, I’m a little nervous." Kathy tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
She never thought that she and Joseph would really get married.
She thought their marriage of convenience may not last a year, but did not expect that a year had
already passed by.
"Me too! Kathy, at the beginning I was a little worried that Joseph will be bad for you, but now your
relationship is getting better and better, I am really relieved."
"Alexia, what about you? Does Dolman treat you well?"
Alexia rarely talked about her and Dolman, so that Kathy always had such an illusion that Alexia was
still unmarried.
Then, Alexia's face assumed a calm.
"I don’t see him very often. The last time I saw her was about three months ago. "
Seeing Kathy’s nervous-looking, Alexia smiled, "Our marriage is made for expediency rather than love,
he does not need to be good to me, and I, will not fall in love with him."
"Will it be worth it?" Kathy asked in low tones.
The marriage existed in name only.
But Alexia didn’t mind.
"I don't care if it's worth it or not. Since I don't like him, he is not with me now. This is the most
comfortable way for us to get along with each other."
"Alexia, you'll find someone who loves you." Kathy hugged her.
Alexia looked down as traces of depression flashed across her eyes.
She trembled, "I will not love again."
…
The next day, Kathy got up early.
The castle was lively and the dressing room was crowded with people.
Jennifer was pretty fussy about the makeup of Kathy. She had determined the makeup before, but
Kathy didn’t sleep well last night and got dark circles around the eyes. Jennifer changed the makeup
several times before she was satisfied.
"Kathy, how about this? Is it good?" Jennifer even did it by herself and was very attentive.
Kathy smiled and nodded.
She smiled brightly.
Stepping out of the balcony, Kathy picked up the phone call from Joseph.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" He heard her speaking in strong nasal tone.
Kathy was embarrassed, "Yes…"
"It's normal that you can't sleep without me."
"No, I've been chatting with Alexia." Kathy muttered.
She didn't want to admit it to him.
"Don't be nervous." Joseph placated her.
"I’m not nervous."
She was just... looking forward to it.
Today, in her view, she was really married to Joseph.
"Well, so you're in a calm mood?" Joseph was a little unhappy.
"Yes." Kathy bit her lips.
"I'm not in a calm mood, Kathy. Today is very important to me."
Joseph's words made Kathy very moved, she did not expect him to be in such a mood.
She thought that the wedding was just a formality.
Just hung up the phone, Joseph 's phone sounded again. It was Quinn calling.
"Joseph, Veronica is missing."
Joseph's face clouded, "Didn’t I let you look at her?"
"I've sent bodyguards to expand the range of guard. But today she wanted to go out for breakfast, so I
went with her, and then she went to the bathroom and disappeared." Quinn said ruefully.
He was always soft-hearted towards Veronica.
Moreover, Veronica had been trapped for two days, and he also thought it would be nice to take her out
for a walk.
But he didn't expect that she was gone.
She had nothing on her, where could she go?
He only dared to tell Joseph about this, and the rest of the Joseph family didn't know.
