Kathy bit her lower lip, her face gradually getting paler.
Her hand was still pressing hard against his chest.
But she was no match for Billy’s strength.
His breath made her sick.
“Kathy, whatever attracts you to Joseph, I can do that too!”
“You are not him, nothing you do will ever attract me!” Kathy blurted out in retort.
“Tsk tsk, your feelings for him are so deep but he hasn’t still responded to me. Looks like he doesn’t
care about you anymore.” He provoked her.
Kathy didn’t care about his remark at all. She hoped for Joseph to not to be manipulated by Billy.
They had nothing between them since a long time ago, no relationship at all, Joseph didn’t need to do
anything for her.
In this case, she was just going to be cruel and let him go for real.
“I was never his anything. It’s you who are overestimating my status.” Kathy said lightly.
Billy held her chin gently. He knew it was still too early for him to be able to convince her.
“Do You Feel Wronged to Marry Me?” He asked suddenly.
Ever since knowing him, Kathy never had any feelings for him.
Around him, there were so many women who took the initiative to show interest in him, he was used to
the feeling of being chased after.
But since meeting Kathy, he hadn’t been able to stop thinking about her.
“Yes! I feel extremely wronged!” Kathy said sternly.
“Do you think you can remarry Joseph? It’s impossible! I know you don’t want to take over the Booth
Group. Marry me and I will take care of the Booth family for you.”
Kathy sneered, “Billy, all you want is Booth family’s property. But even if you marry me, none of that will
ever belong to you because you are just an outsider.”
Outsider.
This word angered him.
Even though he was clearly Jennifer’s son and Zack was his grandfather, the Booth family never saw
him as family. They always treated him as an outsider.
His grip on Kathy’s chin became harder in anger. Kathy’s chin hurt so much that she couldn’t help but
whimper in pain.
“You are right! I am an outsider, so by all means, I must get what belongs to me.”
Saying that, he let go of her harshly and left the bedroom.
The door was locked from outside.
Not being able to relax, Kathy sat down on the sofa. Billy’s angry expressions still lingering in her mind.
She closed her eyes as her consciousness gradually became blur. She crouched down as everything
continued to blur around her…
Two hours later.
Billy stood by the bed and bent down, forcefully feeding her the medicine.
His eyes were no longer flashing with anger.
Soon, Kathy woke up. She opened her eyes, looking at her surrounding to which she was no stranger.
Billy had been sitting beside her all that time.
She frowned and sat up.
What happened to her?
“You fainted just now. How do you feel?” He asked coldly.
“It’s none of your business.”
Looking at him, she didn’t look good.
Hadn’t she almost recovered? Then why did she still have that unbearable headache? She thought.
“Are you hungry? I asked the servant to cook you some porridge.” Billy looked at her.
“Yeah.” She nodded.
She woke up feeling really weak; she needed to eat.
She needed to regain her strength to find a way out of there.
Billy personally brought her the porridge. Kathy took it from him, saying indifferently, “Can you leave?”
Seeing him made her lose her appetite.
“Okay. Call me if you need anything.” Billy said solemnly.
He left the room, leaving the door open.
He stood outside in the corridor as the sky outside gradually dimmed. It wasn’t long before his assistant
called.
“Mr. Hilton, several shareholders are clamoring for a meeting. Can you come back?”
Irritation flashed on his face as he coldly responded to his assistant.
Before leaving the house, he went into the study and loosened Jennifer’s rope.
“I’ll send you back to the Booth family.”
“What about Kathy?” Jennifer asked worriedly.
“She’s perfectly fine.”
“Let her go!” Jennifer begged him.
Billy looked at the woman in front of him. In all the years that he had known her, she had never spoken
to him in that tone.
But now, for Kathy, she was actually begging him.
Billy smiled coldly, “Let her go? Then who will let me go?”
Having nothing more to talk, he ordered the bodyguard to take Jennifer outside.
“Billy, if something happens to her then I will definitely not let you go!”
“What are you talking about, Mom? I am your son! Why won’t you let me go?” Billy joked; his tone was
full of ridicule.
“If you let her go then I will invest in Hilton Group. I will not let it be ruined.” Jennifer tried her last resort.
Hearing this, Billy paused and turned to look at her coldly, “I not only want to save Hilton Group now, I
also want Kathy.”
Joseph framed him, so he was going to snatch the woman he liked from him and make him feel the
pain in double.
“Don’t be crazy! You can never win Kathy’s heart.” Jennifer was hysterical with anger.
However, Billy wasn’t listening to anything she said, “Mom, don’t worry. Didn’t I say already? I won’t
hurt her!”
Jennifer pursed her lips. Billy’s plan was completely exposed now.
“Go back! And don’t go out during this time.” Billy pushed Jennifer into the car and watched it leave
before he got into another car.
Kathy saw this from the balcony. She saw Billy leave after sending her mother away.
However, the security outside became tighter after he left.
…
At Joseph’s group.
Joseph looked carefully at the phone screen, the positioning on it gradually becoming clearer. He took
his car keys and went out.
Half an hour later, a strange car drove into the villa area.
The sound of the engine made Kathy open her eyes. Was Billy back? She thought.
She closed her eyes again, her body trembling slightly.
There was a knock on the door. She looked at it, looking alert and wary.
It wasn’t Billy; he never knocked.
“Who is it?”
“Julian.”
With that he opened the door.
Kathy looked at him suspiciously and quickly sat up on the sofa.
“You…” She frowned, suddenly wondering something.
If he was able to come in here, then he was obviously on Billy’s side.
“Surprised to see me?” Julian said, sitting on the sofa besides her and folding his long legs casually.
“Yeah! Quite a surprise.” Kathy answered coldly.
“I just came here to see if Billy really brought you here. He is really useless.” He narrowed his eyes,
looking at her carefully. It was apparent that Billy really cared about Kathy.
At least, he fed her well and kept her well.
“What? Are you thinking of using me to threaten Joseph too?” Kathy asked sarcastically.
Julian smiled, “I thought you two were divorced so he wouldn’t miss you, but I think I was wrong. Now
that you are valuable and my brother is so hard to handle. We must keep some tricks up our sleeves,
right?”
Despicable.
Kathy cursed him inwardly, her expressions very cold.
“You just cursed me in your heart, didn’t you? I do have that effect on people. Who told Grandpa to
prefer Joseph over me since childhood? Even though he became a doctor, Grandpa still wants to leave
the company to him. I am his grandson too. This is not fair treatment!”
“That’s because you are not capable.” Kathy retorted.
She knew a bit about Joseph’s family, that at least in terms of business Julian was nowhere as capable
as Joseph.
