"I ..." Taking a deep breath, Ella gathered her courage and said, "Joseph, I won't give up on you!"
"My wife can only be Kathy."
Joseph said indifferently, turned, and quickly dialed a number.
It wasn't long before a group of black-clad bodyguards appeared in front of Ella. It was ... her mother's
men.
Joseph was so ruthless.
She fell woefully to the floor, and the emotions in her eyes grew to resentment.
In the bedroom, Kathy sat on the sofa. The familiar decor around her made her feel at home.
She still liked it here.
The home of her and Joseph.
"What's on your mind?" After the shower, Joseph came out and put his arm around her from behind.
Kathy snapped back to her senses and turned to wrap her arms around his neck.
Hmm. It was Joseph's scent.
She sniffed it insatiably.
"You're like a puppy." Joseph looked at her dotingly and teased.
Kathy grimaced, "You're the puppy."
Joseph pinned her to the sofa and buried his face in the nook of her neck. Only with Kathy by his side
could he unburden his mind.
"When are you moving back in?" He asked.
Kathy cocked her head and said seriously, "After graduation."
Joseph's face sank, "I can't wait."
Kathy smiled, "Or you could go to Miss Bridges?"
The next thing Kathy knew, he was biting her pink cherry lips in a punishing way.
Kathy let out a gasp of surprise and grumbled.
"You really are a dog!"
"Then I'm a dog! I'm not looking for that Miss Bridges, and I'm only waiting for Miss Kathy."
Why did she seem to be getting the impression that Joseph was actually quite cute ...
The following day was the day of Billy's trial, Kathy was going back to the Booth family and Joseph was
picking up Veronica to take her to court.
"You're always welcome back to Joseph Bay."
Dropping Kathy off at the Booth family, Joseph clasped the back of her head. His voice was extremely
doting.
"I know. Hurry over there." Kathy looked up and kissed Joseph's thin lips.
She was with him for a while before she got out of the car.
An hour later, at the court.
Veronica looked out at the stately building, and her palm gradually tightened.
She had finally waited for this day.
"Veronica," Joseph tapped her gently on the shoulder.
"Brother, how many years do you think he'll get?"
Veronica was going to submit evidence that she was assaulted by Billy back in the day, except that
Joseph stopped her.
"You'll be happy with that outcome," Joseph said in a hushed voice.
Joseph pushed Veronica inside. Not many people came and the auditorium was very quiet.
The smile on her lips widened as Billy came out. When she saw him now, in this state of distress and
despair, the images of his assault on her came back to her one by one, causing her to feel heartbroken.
But now, the scar was slowly fading.
Tears welled up in Veronica's eyes as she heard the words "life imprisonment".
Joseph put his arms around her. His low voice rang in her ear, "Veronica, I won't let him get out. Even if
he's in prison, I will make his life a living hell."
Veronica nodded heavily. She knew her brother would avenge her.
This outcome now protected her to the greatest extent possible from having those sordid things of the
past come to light.
"Brother, thank you."
They left the courthouse just about noon and Quinn was waiting for them outside.
Veronica looked at him unexpectedly.
They ... hadn't seen each other for days.
"Veronica," Quinn said as he walked up to her. The umbrella he was holding shielded her from most of
the sun.
"What are you doing here?" Veronica was a little embarrassed.
"Joseph had to go to the office, so I picked you up."
"Brother!" Veronica looked at her brother in annoyance.
Why had he informed Quinn to come over ...
She held onto Joseph's arm and just wouldn't let go.
Joseph, however, smiled dotingly and led Veronica over to him, "Quinn's been waiting for you for a long
time."
Veronica felt somewhat awkward. Her face couldn't help but flush at the moment.
"I'll take you to your favorite ZX Restaurant." Quinn said in a tone of deep longing.
"I don't like the food at that place now!" Veronica bowed her head, but in fact, she was already a little
soft-hearted.
"Then we'll go back to the Davis family. I'll make it for you."
The next second, Quinn took her hand in his without a word.
Veronica shuddered. She raised her eyes to look at the man in front of her. His good-looking face was
enveloped in sunlight. How charming!
"Veronica, stay with me."
Quinn met her entranced eyes and blocked her breath with a passionate kiss.
...
At Joseph's residence.
Knowing that Grandpa was back, Julian also stayed at Joseph's residence brazenly.
Mathew watched Julian move his things back in angrily, "How dare you show up in front of me? You
bastard!"
Now that Julian went out on his own, everyone knew he was trying to go against the Joseph's Group.
It really was living on him while helping others secretly!
"Grandpa, I've got your blood running through me. There's no such thing as an overnight feud in a
family."
"Humph, I know what you're thinking. I offered you a job, but you didn't do it. You went to work for the
Hilton Group and now you've set up a new company. You really think you can do whatever you want!"
Mathew might be old, but he still saw things clearly.
Julian paused, "It's because you're biased. I'm going to prove to you now that I'm no less capable than
Joseph!"
"I'd like to see how long you can last."
"Then you'll have to watch carefully, Grandpa," Julian said confidently. He had somebody behind him.
When the maids had finished cleaning up the room, Julian came back down, "Grandpa, Dad is at the
police station. Do something to save him."
Diego was in jail for taking the fall for Julian, who had no connections, but Mathew had been a leading
politician and businessman in City N in his early years. He must have had a way.
Hearing what he said, Mathew’s face sank, and he did not say anything.
Diego was his only son.
"You let your father take the blame for your crimes and now you're coming to me for help?" Mathew
was angry.
Julian lost his voice for a moment.
His father had always loved him, but he hadn't actually expected Diego to really go to this extent for
him.
Now Billy had been sentenced. If Diego was convicted, he feared he would have to spend quite a few
years in jail too.
"Grandpa, he's my dad and your son! Are you going to do the same when Joseph is so cold now?"
Julian looked disappointed
Mathew, of course, knew that Julian was pretending to be miserable. He said in a harsh voice, "This is
still your brother's call. I'll stay out of it."
"You know full well that Joseph simply doesn't want Dad to get out!"
Mathew was silent. Looking at Julian, he still waved his hand.
"You need to stop begging me. I don't care. You know how much of the Joseph's Group's secrets
you've sold out by colluding with the Hilton Group!"
Julian was silent. He was forced to do this by Joseph ...
He wouldn't have done this if he had that little status!
"Grandpa, it's all because you're biased! Joseph is not going to inherit the Joseph's Group. Only I am
entitled to inherit!"
Hearing what he said, Mathew shuddered. His ears were ringing with Julian's cranky words.
Joseph was not going to inherit the Joseph's Group.
