He received a call from Mathew as soon as he returned to the Joseph’s Group.
“You have not had a meal with me for quite a while. I know that you aren’t very busy recently.” Mathew
said grudgingly.
“I’ll go back tonight, grandfather,” Joseph said.
“Okay. Julian’s confirmation has been approved but he kept delaying his trip to Country N. What is he
doing?” Recently Julian’s movement has been very strange and he also couldn’t find out.
“Him?” Joseph frowned, “He had been very close to Billy recently.”
“Scoundrel, is he rebelling? Does he have no regard for the Joseph family?” Mathew was very angry.
“Grandfather, I will sort him out. It wouldn’t take long.” Joseph’s tone was cold.
“He is one of the Joseph family after all,” Matthew said with concern.
How did this devolve to this extent?
“Grandfather, I will not forget that he personally killed my mother.”
Joseph ended the call as soon as he finished saying. Pain and despair erupted on his face at that very
moment. After a while, John came in to report.
“Mr. Joseph, something has happened at the BV City company.” Joseph looked sternly at the email that
he had just received.
“Arrange for the private jet Immediately.”
Night fell and N City was bathed in bright and glittering lights. A white colored car stopped at the
entrance of N City Hospital. As Kathy turned off the lights, unfamiliar footsteps approached from afar
and she immediately tensed up. She turned on the lights again and she stared at the tightly shut door.
She was strangely nervous when the door was pushed open and only when she saw that it was Jade
did she sigh in relief.
But she kept having a bad feeling about it.
“Ms. Kathy, there is another bottle of IV drip for today.”
Kathy was surprised and her hand unconsciously shifted. “I’m about to sleep, how long will it take?”
“Very fast, about half an hour,” Jade said.
After completing the drip, Jade tidied up and left with only Kathy remained in the room. She looked at
the unfamiliar IV bottle. Something flashed across her mind and she immediately pulled out the IV
needle.
After a few minutes, the door was opened again, Billy entered and his gaze fell upon Kathy’s frail body.
She laid on the bed and with her eyes closed and her face turned pale.
With each step, he walked closer and he carried her up. Kathy’s body tensed up as she felt the
unfamiliar breath around her. She didn’t know who he was and her heart raced but she could only
pretend that she was in deep sleep.
The doors of the lift opened and Billy carried Kathy out. The side door of the hospital was nearby. Kathy
opened her eyes slightly and looked around. They were almost out of the hospital.
She slowly lifted her hand and used all her strength to push away Billy. She grasped on the chance to
escape from his embrace. Billy frowned as he reacted and he narrowed his eyes sinisterly.
Kathy couldn’t run fast and didn’t have any shoes on. She started to stumble and fall after running a
few steps. Billy stood in front of her and scoffed ominously.
“I didn’t expect for you to feign to be asleep.”
Kathy coldly glared at him and wanted to stand up but she felt increasingly drowsy. She felt very weak.
Billy began to carry her up again walked quickly to the nearby car.
“Where are you taking me?” She asked with all her strength.
Billy ordered the driver to drive. He looked down at Kathy and said chillingly, “Somewhere that Joseph
can’t find you.”
“You are using me to threaten him?” Kathy realized very quickly.
“Smart girl.”
Kathy laughed coldly, “We never had any affection for each other. He will not feel threatened.”
“Who knows? Since he arranged for you to be in City N Hospital, it goes to show how important you are
to him.” Kathy was sullen. She also didn’t know what motives Joseph had. He only said repeatedly that
he was protecting her. Did he mean to protect her from Billy?
Recently the Hilton Group’s situation was fast deteriorating and even the Booth family couldn’t help.
Was Billy trying to get Joseph to forgive him? All sorts of thoughts flashed across Kathy’s mind but the
most important thing now was to escape from this man.
The car drove towards the very remote suburbs.
“Scared?” Billy laughed when he saw Kathy’s face turning pale.
“Yes.” Her entire body was trembling.
She thought about the situation at the hospital and when Jade gave her that IV drip. That must contain
a drug to make her lose consciousness. Jade must be working for Billy. But Jade had worked for
Joseph for a long time.
“What are you thinking?” Billy noticed something amiss and pinched her chin.
This woman had never looked at him directly. She was thinking of Joseph? He became furious when
he thought about this.
“None of your business.” Kathy’s said coldly.
“Your days will be much better if you improve your attitude towards me.” Billy threatened.
Kathy became silent and treated Billy coldly.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a villa.
The surrounding grass was overgrown. Clearly, the place had not been maintained for a long time.
Kathy was dragged by Billy into the villa followed by several bodyguards behind them. She hadn’t
completely recovered and her head hurt as if it was in a vice but each day her checkup results
indicated that she was fine.
Billy paused when he noticed Kathy’s change in condition and turned to support her.
“Are you feeling very uncomfortable?” He couldn’t conceal his concern for her.
Kathy frowned and shook her head but the next moment she slumped and she almost lost
consciousness. Billy went to the kitchen to get some water and placed a piece of white medication into
the water.
Kathy struggled to open her eyes and saw that Billy was about to give her some water. She pushed him
away in frustration and the glass fell onto the floor. Billy’s expression immediately darkened.
He went to get another glass of water and Kathy has regained much of her consciousness. She looked
at him coldly and refused his glass of water.
“Are you refusing to drink and eat?” Billy narrowed his eyes sternly.
Kathy turned away and ignored him. She looked around and saw that she was surrounded by
bodyguards. It would be impossible for her to escape.
“Tired?” Billy’s expression warmed up after a while, “You can rest in the room upstairs.”
“Okay,” Kathy answered and went upstairs.
She didn’t want to be around Billy and had to think of a way to escape. Billy followed her as she
entered the room.
Kathy looked furiously at him, “Get out.”
“I said that you can come up to rest but I never said that you can be on your own.” Billy narrowed his
eyes.
“Do you think that I can escape when you have so many people watching over me?” Kathy said
sarcastically. More than ten people were guarding the place.
“I want to be by your side,” Billy said.
Kathy laughed sarcastically when she heard, “Billy, don’t make me nauseous.”
Kathy looked at Billy with disgust and his expression darkened.
“Can’t we get along cordially during this period?”
“Do you think that I can get along with my kidnapper?” Kathy scoffed.
