“Which school do you want to go to?” Joseph asked.
“I have not thought of it yet.”
The atmosphere in the car was getting chilly.
“Joseph, send me to my school,” Kathy said.
She wanted to know the schedule arrangements for Ocean University.
“Ok, I will accompany you.”
Joseph told the driver to start driving.
Joseph held Kathy’s tiny hands as there was a cold breeze.
Joseph looked tense. Although he did not drink too much wine today, there was still a faint smell of
wine mixing with his icy breath.
All of a sudden, Kathy felt very much depressed.
If she had to travel overseas to continue her studies, a long-distance relationship with Joseph would be
inevitable.
Kathy held Joseph’s big palm tightly with her two hands.
“Joseph, what if I said, I wanted to go overseas,” Kathy murmured.
As expected, the aura surrounding Joseph dropped quickly in temperature.
Kathy did not speak anything for a moment.
Joseph frowned and lost in his thought. He then turned to Kathy after a while, hiding the chills in his
eyes.
He gently said, “Kathy, what if I disagree.”
There was a hint of dominance in his tone.
“I need some time to think,” said Kathy.
For now, nothing was planned.
After arriving at Ocean University, the familiar buildings triggered her sense of nostalgia.
“You should head back. I will be fine on my own,” Kathy said while releasing her seatbelt.
Joseph was staring right into Kathy’s soul, it made her panic.
Within a second, Joseph pulled Kathy’s wrist and she fell into his arms.
She was trapped like prey.
“You are hiding from me,” Joseph said earnestly.
She was biting her lip with mixed emotions because she had no idea why this was happening.
Perhaps it was because of Mathew who interfered with their relationship. She did not want to destroy
the relationship between Mathew and Joseph.
All she wanted all along was a stable relationship.
If anything ever tried to stop her, she would get cold feet.
“No, Joseph, you are just overthinking,” Kathy pushed him away.
After Joseph released her hand, she got off the car and fled.
Joseph did not leave. Instead, he waited until the vibration of his phone disrupted the silence.
There was an incoming message from Maria King.
“Joseph, let us make a deal.”
…
The principal’s office.
“Kathy, you are here.” The principal looked tired.
Kathy stood a few feet in front of the principal’s desk. She stared at the principal with an indifferent
look.
She had studied in this school for a long time. She knew all along that the principal did not like her that
much.
“Even though I am the principal, there is still a school board that is more superior than me. I can’t
decide everything on my own.” said the principal with a meaningful tone.
Kathy understood it crystal clear.
“Principal, I did not agree with the transfer at all. But I have already enrolled as a student in other
universities. Isn’t this the school’s fault?”
“The school is only considering the best for you, the reputation of University of Country B is not bad at
all. In fact, it allows you to have a test-free admission. Isn’t that great?”
“So, you are still glad that I am going to University of Country B?” Kathy questioned unpleasingly.
“I, as the principal am just asking for your thoughts now. If you have decided to stay, it is ok.”
Kathy pursed her lips and frowned.
“If I have decided to stay, have you arranged any professor to continue guiding me?” she asked
indifferently.
The principal was speechless for a moment because this was the problem that bothered him the most.
He was told to keep Kathy to stay, but none of the professors was willing to help her. Even if someone
was willing to help her, who would know what kind of trouble she would get into.
Kathy understood everything as the principal looked awkward and dilemma.
She said apathetically, “Since Mr. Watson had already retired, there is no reason that I should stay here
at Ocean University anymore. Anyway, I appreciate everyone in this school for all the help in these six
months.”
The principal shockingly looked at her and froze.
This was a matter that he had no idea how to handle. But since Kathy had decided to transfer on her
own, it was a good ending for everyone.
After leaving the office, she headed towards the dorm.
She had to at least explain everything to Zofia Marshall.
Zofia was trying so hard not to cry. She had seen everything that Kathy had been through after she
entered the school. Now Kathy was even leaving the school, she was heartbroken.
“Kathy, have you considered everything? But, I am not ready for you to leave…”
Kathy forced out a bitter smile and gave Zofia a gentle hug, “I am not ready as well. But since I have
made my choice, there is no way back.”
“Is this all about Mr. Watson’s retirement?” Zofia asked with a muffled voice.
“Yes, his retirement is the biggest reason. I do not want to be led by other professors.”
“Ok, I respect your choice. But which school have you planned to attend?”
“I still have no idea yet…”
“Oh, but Mrs. Booth might help you to plan everything nicely. Kathy, you have gone through way too
much at Ocean University.” Zofia sighed.
There was always someone who wanted to frame Kathy, and it was terrifying.
Perhaps changing the environment was better for her.
“Torment is nothing for me, who is not in agony as a doctor? I am just thinking that it is a loss as I am
unable to follow Mr. Watson until the day I graduate.”
“You will meet a better teacher.” Zofia comforted.
From her perception, Kathy’s level and capability were always at the top tier, and she deserved better.
Kathy smiled, then she simply packed her things from her room and farewell Zofia before leaving the
school.
It was impossible to pack all of her stuff from her dorm at once. She might still need to come back
anytime soon to collect everything.
The moment she stepped out of her dorm, Joseph was already waiting.
He was not surprised to see Kathy with her luggage.
He took the luggage from Kathy and handed it over to his driver. He then held her tiny hands and got
into the car.
It was the weekend, there were not many people in the school. But there were still a lot of students who
saw that scene.
A tall handsome man with a white shirt and long pants was holding a petite pretty woman. There was
obvious love affection in Joseph's eyes but Kathy's eyes looked lost.
"Joseph, why don't you ask me anything?" Kathy kept staring at Joseph after entering the car.
"I have already known all of your thoughts after you told me just now."
Although he had just become the CEO of Joseph's group, the ability to read other's minds is always
necessary.
"Oh." Kathy humped her cheeks. Well, it was not a surprise that it was impossible to hide any thoughts
from Joseph.
"So you still decided to leave Ocean University, you still do not want my help," Joseph said with a deep
voice.
She wanted to face everything on her own, that is Kathy's personality. Even when the outcome was not
the best, she would accept it as well.
But when someone helped her, she would feel that she might owe others something.
Even when the person was her intimate lover.
Developing independence since young and now it was her motto.
"I really do not want you to interfere anymore," Kathy hugged Joseph and mumbled.
Since she knew Joseph only took over Joseph's group because of her, she thought she was
imperceptibly affecting Joseph's life.
Joseph should have his own dream and should not miss any more opportunities because of her.
"Kathy, everything that I have done for you is of my own free will," Joseph said with a chilly tone, and
he was strong enough to protect her now.
It was always worth it for giving up certain things for her.
