According to the GPS provided by John, Joseph drove over to the West Suburban. The GPS showed
that Kathy’s phone was on this road. But after going around several times, he didn't see her.
After a while, he stopped in front of a rubbish bin.
After kicking over the bin, he squatted down and found a white mobile phone.
When he opened the phone, a note popped up automatically. The note was written with “Before night
falls, I will ask you out alone.”
She would not have lost her phone on her own unless it had been robbed.
He threw the phone away huffily and picked it up again after calming down.
He called John, "Check Julian’s location for me."
He later went over to the nearest bureau. The Joseph family's status was powerful enough, and the
chief personally came out to greet him.
Joseph said indifferently, "I need the road surveillance from Sea Road to LY Road this afternoon."
Sitting in front of the computer, he looked at the screen. He stopped the surveillance footage during the
period of 4 pm.
Stopping the progress bar, he saw Julian’s figure and targeted the license plate number.
At this time, an apartment in the West Suburban.
The surrounding was very dark when Kathy opened her eyes. She wondered since when she passed
out.
She felt the pain on her neck, thinking that it should be Julian who had did something to her.
"How is it here?" A familiar voice sounded next to her, and he was standing just a few meters away
from her.
She had already remembered what had happened earlier and said coldly, "You're crazy."
She tried to stand up but realized that her hands and feet were tied up. Her legs bent and fell
backwards onto the sofa again.
She knew what he was up to and said in a faint voice, "Joseph won't be threatened by you."
She knew that Joseph had a grudge against him. He had to send him to jail himself, but I’m afraid even
that would not be enough to relieve the resentment.
The next second, there was a sudden "slap" sound, and the sound of a crisp slap resounded
throughout the apartment.
The corner of her mouth was hot and painful. Her hair was tugged so hard that she almost fell to the
ground uncontrollably.
"Who said that? Kathy, you really dare to lie to me?" Julian grabbed her hair with one hand and cursed
an expletive, with a fierce smile on his face, "I hate it when people lie to me."
She tried to move her mouth. The taste of blood in her mouth made her feel uncomfortable for a while.
She gritted her teeth to resist, but she was stunned by his words.
"My father and grandfather have lied to me for so many years, and now you want to lie to me too.”
She frowned and looked at him, who was almost in a state of madness and trembled slightly without
speaking again.
Being the rightful heir to the throne and becoming an unrecognized illegitimate son overnight was
probably what it felt like to fall from heaven to hell.
However, as he was the murderer of Joseph’s mother, she could not feel pity for him, and the coldness
in her eyes gradually spread.
Perhaps irritated by the coldness in her eyes, he viciously asked, "What are you looking at!"
She had no expression on her face, sitting down on the ground like a statue. Her face was pale,
recalling the image Joseph had told her about how Julian had personally pushed her mother down the
eighty-eighth floor of the building.
The pain that Joseph had tasted, she had tasted too.
"Julian, he won't come," Kathy said in a deep voice.
"Are you so unsure of yourself?"
She was silent, and selfishly, she did not want him to come as she did not want Julian to control him.
"Anyway, there's no rush now. There's plenty of time." Julian narrowed his eyes. His eyes were evil,
with an eerie and cold aura.
She had already calmed down, her legs curled up and found a comfortable position, no longer paying
attention to Julian.
After a while, he seriously asked her, “Are you disappointed that Joseph wasn’t coming? But I've never
seen my brother so obsessed with anyone but you."
His tone was much gentler, but again with obvious malice. She shook her head indifferently, "No."
A while later, she suddenly smiled, as if provoking, "My answer disappointed you, didn't it?"
His mouth curved as he said mockingly, "Kathy, I'm telling you, I have plenty of ways to make your life
worse than death. It’s all on Joseph who gave me no choice! If he doesn't come over later and since I’ll
be in court next week anyway, I might as well have some fun with you in the meantime. Then, I will let
you die when I get bored.”
Her face became pale. She wouldn't doubt for a moment that he would really do this. But at the
moment she was still trying not to show the slightest bit of fear.
She could tell that he seemed to be happy to see her scared.
She did not move a muscle, biting her lips tightly and always ignoring his words.
At this moment, her mind was blank. Saving herself was almost impossible. But… If Joseph came…
At this time, she subconsciously wanted to rely on him the most, but also can only be him.
He was powerful. In such a treacherous environment, he was the only source that could make her feel
at ease.
…
At this time, Joseph’s Group.
Lincoln Fletcher hurriedly came into the president's office, and after cursing an expletive angrily, he
said irritably, "I can't find out Julian’s location!"
Next to him, Johnson asked, "Have you searched every possible place?"
"Of course, they've all been searched. I don't know where they're hidden!" Lincoln was a bit
exasperated, thinking that he had vast connections, but at this moment, he couldn't find a single
person!
"It's been three hours. Julian won't do anything, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Johnson grimly interrupted Lincoln’s words and calmly analyzed, "He hasn't
even informed Joseph, so he would not act rashly."
"This madman! He took Kathy away and asked to meet Joseph. But he didn't tell us the location, what
the hell is he trying to do!"
"He's challenging my patience. It's in his best interest if I lose control." The man who hadn't spoken
finally spoke in a cold voice.
He turned around and had a dark eye. He coldly ordered, "Keep checking, I want to know his
whereabouts within half an hour."
He had one hand in his pocket, and his handsome but cold face was faintly reflected in the windows.
Outside, the sky was getting darker and darker. When the door to the apartment was suddenly kicked
open, Kathy’s heart beat violently. She didn't know how long she had been here. The apartment was a
two-storey duplex, the walls around it were grey and drab. There was only one high window, but she
couldn't look outside at all, so she didn't know the time.
The arrival of Joseph was like a light full of hope. It was as if her otherwise cold body had finally taken
on a temperature and her blood flew all at once.
Excitement and joy stimulated her survival instincts, and subconsciously she wanted to shout out.
But Julian was fast and sealed her mouth with black tape before she could say anything and picking
her up fiercely.
