Kathy went back to her room after she had dinner with Jennifer. She was still not used to staying here.
After all, there was someone else that she didn’t wish to see.
After she showered, someone knocked on the door and Kathy peeked to see who it was and it was
Billy.
“What’s the matter?” She asked coldly.
“The servant made some desserts.”
“I’m not hungry.”
“Then come out for a chat anyway.” Billy frowned.
“I’m going to bed, Mr. Hilton.” She shut and locked the door after she said.
Billy was outside and looked at the time, it was barely ten o’clock…
But Kathy naturally couldn’t sleep as it was still early. She read a book but her head was still thinking
about what Herbert said just now.
Even if the financial situation of the Joseph’s Group wasn’t healthy now, by selling the rights to their
bestselling medicine, wouldn’t it put itself in a more precarious predicament?
She opened the news homepage and looked at the latest news regarding the Joseph’s Group. The
reputation of the Joseph’s Group had been severely affected by the arrest of Macie. Today, a reporter
came to interview Diego. Not only did he not defend Macie, but he confirmed her guilt, causing the
Joseph’s Group’s reputation to be affected even more.
Kathy didn’t have a good impression of Diego. Furthermore, Joseph didn’t seem to regard him as his
father.
She couldn’t understand the complexity of the Joseph family.
…
At the Joseph residence.
Veronica was having dinner with his mother.
“Mom, surely you didn’t eat well in the police station,” Veronica said with tears welling in her eyes.
Macie was very calm, “Joseph had made arrangements and I didn’t have a difficult time in there.”
“Mom…” Veronica sobbed.
She couldn’t remain calm when she thought about Sammy’s court case next week and the chances of
her mother getting sentenced were very high.
“Why are you crying? I don’t regret my actions but I didn’t expect Diego to find out about this.” Macie
said solemnly.
The original clues that were linked to this case had been disproved but Diego was still able to find new
clues. His influence in City N was indeed remarkable.
“You shouldn’t have taken revenge for me, Mom. Although I can’t forget that incident, I certainly don’t
wish that it ended up like this.” The person getting punished shouldn’t be her mother!
“Now that Sammy is dead and Peter is in prison, the only person remaining scot-free is Billy. Mom can
only help you to this extent. I won’t let my daughter suffer injustice…” Macie murmured.
Ever since Veronica’s incident, she had thought about exacting revenge every day. How could she
suffer such injustice as an eighteen-year-old girl?
Veronica had been receiving psychiatric treatment and she had isolated herself all these years.
But she had never given up the chance to eradicate Billy and all those who were involved in that
incident!
“But Mom, how can I be at peace when you are in prison. I’ll get brother to think of something.”
Veronica shook her head. She must not let her mother be sentenced.
“This time Diego wants me to be imprisoned. Then he can marry Nell, Veronica, I will definitely be
sentenced and I am mentally prepared for it. I only didn’t expect Diego to do this for the sake of that
woman.” Macie was absolutely disheartened.
After all, they had once been deeply in love and that it could come to this extent now.
“He is a scoundrel. He doesn’t have any status in the Joseph household. Grandfather also doesn’t want
to see him. Grandfather will not let him marry Nell. If he dared to, then I’ll immediately kick up a fuss!”
Veronica said furiously.
“Don’t make matters worse. Stay by your brother’s side and he will protect you. Don’t get involved in
the other family matters.” Macie said sternly.
She didn’t want Veronica to be involved in the conflict between the Joseph family brothers.
“I always listen to brother but why isn’t he back yet?” Veronica realized that he was the one who picked
mom up but she was the only one who came back.
“Looked like Joseph left with another woman. Was that his ex-wife?”
Although Macie had been overseas for many years, she always stays abreast with the matters of the
Joseph family.
She knew all about Joseph’s marriage and divorce.
“Kathy?” Veronica became angry when this woman was mentioned.
“A spell had been cast on brother. That woman is Billy’s sister!”
“Really?” Macie frowned.
“Yes, her mother is Jennifer and Jennifer had married into the Hilton family sometime back.”
“I think that Joseph will know what to do. Aren’t they divorced now?”
“But now that you mentioned this, I feel that brother still misses that woman,” Veronica said unhappily.
“Don’t be upset anymore. I’m sure Billy will soon pay dearly for what he had done.”
She knew that Joseph had started his moves.
…
Joseph came back only in the early morning and Julian was sitting in the living hall, clearly waiting for
him.
“Joseph, do you know what you are doing?” Julian said with reproach.
“If you are referring to work, then I don’t wish to discuss it at home.” Joseph didn’t wish to respond to
him.
But Julian blocked him, “You are hollowing out the Joseph’s Group! You are fully aware that the
Joseph’s Group is in a dicey state. Are you crazy to sell away our best-selling drug at such a low
price?”
“I’m crazy?” Joseph narrowed his eyes, “Even if I’m crazy, can you stop me? I’m the only person who
can decide for the Joseph’s Group.”
Julian was stunned when he heard this. Indeed, Joseph was the one making decisions for the Joseph’s
Group.
“Then I’ll see how you resolve this situation!”
Veronica was hiding behind the staircase and looked at her brother worriedly. When he went up, she
quickly went to his side, “Brother, what are you thinking of? I’m also struggling to understand.”
Everyone could see that this best-selling drug was the Joseph’s Group’s saving grace.
Joseph stopped and lovingly patted Veronica on her shoulders, “Veronica, you must set your sights
further, do you understand?”
Veronica still couldn’t understand and gave up thinking about it.
“Are the lawyers ready for the court hearing next week?” She asked.
Joseph nodded and frowned.
…
Sammy’s case will be heard in court a week later and Kathy was one of the witnesses and will also
appear in court.
The black Maybach had already stopped below the dormitory. Kathy frowned and did not get into the
car.
She walked as Joseph drove slowly beside her, attracting a lot of the surrounding attention.
Not wanting more attention, Kathy took a deep breath and opened the front passenger door angrily.
“Joseph, why did you come?”
“To pick you up,” Joseph simply said.
Kathy realized that Sammy’s case involved the Joseph family and he had to attend as well.
“You don’t have to come specially to pick me up.” She said.
“It’s on the way.”
Kathy frowned. The Joseph residence and Ocean University were on either side of the city.
When she got into the car, Joseph pointed to the compartment.
“Have your breakfast.” He said.
Kathy saw that there were a sandwich and a packet of milk in the compartment.
She hadn’t eaten her breakfast and had planned to buy from the canteen.
“Thanks.” She said softly as she felt a warm sensation through her heart.
