Joseph pursed his thin lip. He was never used to explaining, and at this moment, he didn’t say
anything.
At that time, Ella threatened him to marry her so that she would help Kathy clarifying the medical
accident.
And thereafter, he played a trick to investigate the person behind Ella.
There was never a moment when he thought of marrying Ella.
“Joseph, why do you marry her then, do you like her?” Kathy asked nervously.
This was something that she didn’t want to ask in the past.
The biggest fear was that the answer would disappoint her.
“That wedding, it wouldn’t have taken place.” After a while, Joseph spoke.
To her surprise, “So you have arranged it all along?”
Why would the Ella’s family took the people away only on the day of the wedding, all this, she thought
was just a coincidence.
“Yup, I wouldn’t marry her.”
“Then why do you agree to this marriage at the beginning?” Kathy asked with a low voice.
A certain thought flashed through her mind, was it because of her?
It happened just at that time when Ella helped her.
But…she didn’t even associate that two matters together at that time.
I needed to check the Bridges family.
“Oh.”
“Stop thinking of nonsense. We will remarry when you are discharged from the hospital.” Joseph said it
without a doubt.
Pouting her lips with a resistant look, Kathy said, “No, it can’t be so perfunctory.”
“Perfunctory?” Joseph frowned.
“Of course, we were in a hurry last time when we got married but this time was not allowed.”
“What does Mrs Joseph want?”
“Don’t call me that, I am not Mrs Joseph yet!” Kathy said in a righteous manner.
Joseph smiled, “Hmm, Kat?”
He had always remembered Kathy’s nickname.
As the words fell, Kathy was slightly lost in her thought for a moment, she remembered that there was
also a boy who had once called her that.
“Kat.”
“What!” Kathy looked at Joseph in front of her, “Yes!”
“Tell me, what does Mrs Joseph want?” Joseph lifted her chin.
“Let’s fall in love first.” Kathy said with a serious face.
This was the step they had skipped at first, but now, she wanted to take it step by step.
“Listen to you.”
Kathy then took off her ring, passing it to Joseph and said, “I will put on the ring again when we get to
the engagement.”
“Soon.” Joseph hooked his lips.
Kathy’s cheeks reddened slightly and she startled when seeing Joseph was about to lie up.
“Joseph…what are you doing!”
“Sleeping.”
“This is my ward.”
“I own this hospital.”
Kathy: …
“You rogue!” How can that be!
“Haven’t played yet.” The smile under Joseph deepened as he wrapped his arm around Kathy, “Let’s
sleep, girlfriend.”
…
The following week, Kathy continued studying for her new semester while recovering.
Worrying about the progress at the Joseph’s Group, Kathy asked Joseph, “Have you found someone to
replace me at the Joseph’s Group?”
It seemed like she had been in the hospital for a month.
But the progress of the research and development couldn’t be delayed any further.
“Do you still want to go to the Joseph’s Group after you are discharged from the hospital?” Joseph
asked seriously.
“I want.” Kathy said while nodding her head.
Apart from the fact that she wanted to learn a little more, it was also due to the reason that she could
meet Joseph there.
“I haven’t arranged other colleagues to go over there, you can go over there once you are discharged
from the hospital and when your body is fully recovered.”
“Joseph, thank you.” Kathy said sincerely.
Joseph had been accompanying her by her side ever since she was hospitalized.
She seemed to have delayed him too much.
“When are you going back to work at the Joseph’s Group?” Kathy asked.
“Wait when you are discharged from the hospital.”
“It won’t take so long, I can stay by myself.”
“Do you think I will rest assured?” Joseph showed a cold face.
“What’s wrong?” Kathy muttered.
“Right now, I don’t want to leave you even one step.”
Kathy couldn’t hide her smile, deep inside her heart, she didn’t want to either…
The next day waking up, Joseph was not there.
Kathy sat up and there was a WeChat message on her phone next to her.
It was from Joseph, Kat, I’m not in the hospital today, do remember to eat on time, I will miss you.
Kathy read it word by word, turning it over and over for a full five minutes.
Kat.
She seemed to like the way Joseph called her.
The reply column deleted and reduced, finally, Kathy replied with five words: I will miss you too.
The mood of this whole day seemed to be bright and beautiful because of this text messages.
At this moment, at the Joseph’s Group.
Joseph’s thin lip slightly hooked up when he saw the text message during his meeting.
The executives instantly looked at each other, they wondered how come Mr. Joseph didn’t seem to be
the same after one month coming back…
But naturally, they dared not to utter a word.
Quicky finishing up the matters left over from this month, Joseph then left the conference room.
In the office, Joseph frowned when he saw the report handed over by John.
The Hilton’s Group declared bankruptcy this morning, as was to be expected.
On the other hand, Julian had set up a new company today, the operation of the business scope was
almost the same as the Joseph’s Group.
With Julian’s power, it was naturally impossible for him to reach such a peak point, unless there was
someone behind him and supported him.
“Mr. Joseph, this is the invitation card sent over by Julian, next weekend would be the opening
reception of his new company.”
Joseph sneered and squinted his eyes, “Record it on the schedule, I would like to see what he wants to
do.”
Finishing his words, he then shut down his computer and left his office.
John looked at the time, Mr. Joseph had only been at the Joseph’s Group for two hours…
Recently, Joseph had hardly come back to the Joseph’s Group and the senior shareholders had
already been slightly discontented, yet, this had also reached Mathew’s side.
Joseph was not surprised when he received a call from his grandfather.
“How is the grandson-in-law doing?”
“Everything is going well.”
“That’s good. Joseph, don’t forget your status, you can’t juggle both the positions of the Ocean
University and the hospital.” Mathew’s tone was slightly cold.
Upon hearing this, Joseph frowned.
“Grandfather, I’m in control of myself.”
Mathew could judge by himself that Joseph was talking perfunctorily to him.
“What kind of measure do you have? If you have the sense of proportion, you wouldn’t have taken up
the hospital position!”
“Grandfather, you always know well that my mind is never on the Joseph’s Group.” Joseph’s tone was
very calm.
“Who do you think in the entire Joseph family that is more qualified to sit in this position than you?”
“I will arrange for a suitable professional manager.”
“Bastard!” Mathew was utterly furious. “The Joseph’s Group is the hundred years old foundation of our
Joseph’s family, I will definitely not allow it to be handed over to an outsider.”
Joseph frowned, knowing well of his grandfather’s temper, he dared not to say any more.
He just said lightly, “The members of the board of the directors will not change, grandfather, your
thinking is too fixed.”
Without further talking, Joseph hung up the call.
Mathew angrily slammed his phone down and ordered, “Book me a flight back to City N immediately!”
…
A week later was Billy’s court date. He was suspected of manufacturing high generic drugs, and he
was the person in charge, so he must take full responsibility.
Before his court, he contacted Jennifer Booth and requested for a meet.
“Billy, what else do you want to say?” Jennifer’s tone was cold.
There was only disappointment left now for this son whom she raised up.
