Joseph was getting ready to leave the hospital in the evening, when Veronica came herself.
She had tried to convince her brother to go home for a few times, but her brother did not go home. So
she could only come to find him.
“Brother, please follow me home, alright? Are you really not going to handle the matters at the Joseph’s
Group?” Veronica frowned.
The performance of the Joseph’s Group was getting worse and worse recently, and Joseph seemed to
be abandoning his job. Further, her grandfather was unable to take charge, so he could only stay home
and sulk.
If this continues, it would be the end of the Joseph’s Group sooner or later…
She really did not want to watch her family business close down because of the bickering between the
grandfather and grandson…
“You should tell Grandpa about the matters at the Joseph’s Group,” Joseph frowned in displease.
“But Grandpa has already handed you the Joseph’s Group,” Veronica frowned as well.
“Veronica, stop telling me about the Joseph’s Group anymore.”
“No, follow me home! You haven’t been home for so long…” Veronica mumbled.
But she was sitting on a wheelchair, and could not stop Joseph at all. She could only let Quinn to be
the convincer.
Yet Quinn knew what Joseph was thinking, he never had the intention to take over the Joseph’s Group.
The more Mathew kept forcing Joseph, it would only have the adverse effect.
Joseph was never one to compromise.
The fact that he would agree to inherit the Joseph’s Group was already the greatest concession.
“Let’s go home, Veronica. Joseph will never watch the Joseph’s Group fall.”
“But look at how bad the stock price fell today, the outsiders kept saying that there is a feud in our
family, and the Joseph’s Group is going bankrupt…” Veronica had been watching a lot of rumours
recently and was afraid.
“Now that it’s already hit rock bottom, it will go back up soon, let’s go back.”
Quinn pushed on her wheelchair.
Veronica lowered her gaze, she was being anxious for nothing.
“Are you really going to take the position of the CEO?” asked Veronica.
She had just found out about this not long ago, her brother had actually arranged for this from early on.
Since Quinn had stated that he would let go of the chance to inherit the Davis family’s legacy in early
years, so it would reasonable for him to take over the Joseph’s Group.
But she knew that her grandfather had always been keeping this position for Joseph.
Now her grandfather was very displeased over this matter.
“Yes, are you thinking that I can’t?” Quinn frowned.
From the view of others, Quinn always looked like a gentleman, but in fact in the business field Quinn’s
means were ruthless enough.
“Of course not,” Veronica bit her lip.
At this moment she actually thought that she was unable to see through the man before her.
It was just like now, she did not even know that his plans from the start were to take over the Joseph’s
Group, and he might have planned for a while for this matter.
Veronica was a little frustrated. She always thought that Quinn was merely a psychologist.
But the more she got close to him, his mysterious side had shown itself eventually.
…
Joseph Bay.
Kathy had just come back from the supermarket. She wanted originally to cook on her own, but judging
on her abysmal cooking skills, she abandoned that thought.
She had bought a lot of seafood and meat, planning that she should just have some hot pot with
Joseph tonight.
She washed all the food and allowed the maid to leave, putting out everything on the table by herself.
But even until late night Joseph was not back, Kathy was a little worried, but when she called Joseph’s
number no one picked up.
Kathy then called John, and his answer was that Joseph might still be at the hospital, and he was not
able to reach his boss as well.
Hearing this, Kathy changed her clothes and hurried towards the hospital.
At this moment, Joseph had just come out from the operating theatre. Two hours ago a car accident
victim was sent here urgently, there was not enough staff at the hospital so Joseph was asked to help.
Seeing that Kathy was looking around anxiously, Joseph stopped in his footsteps.
So, Kathy knocked into his embrace directly.
The familiar scent stunned Kathy. She raised her head and saw the handsome face that always
mesmerised her was close to her.
On instinct, she raised her head and wanted to put her arms around Joseph.
But once she thought that this was the hospital, she immediately put her hands down.
Seeing that Joseph was in a white robe and there was the scent of some blood on him, she frowned
slightly.
“Just out from a surgery?” She asked in confusion.
“The second one,” but Joseph held onto her on his own accord, and brought Kathy into his office
without a care of the opinion of the others.
“Why did I not know that you have two surgeries today.”
“They were last minute. Are you worried about me, coming to find me?” Joseph’s lips curled up, seeing
through Kathy’s thoughts.
Her face reddened, avoiding Joseph’s heated gaze.
“You didn’t pick up the phone…” Kathy mumbled.
“It happened to urgently, I didn’t have the chance to tell you.” Joseph’s eyes flashed with frustration.
“It’s alright, you had to work. What time would you be able to go home?”
“I have to wait until the patient’s awake.” Joseph looked at the time, “Should be about now.”
Kathy waited for Joseph in the office, but not long after, a slim silhouette pushed the door open slowly.
Ella looked at Kathy who was sitting on the couch, and her expression dimmed instantly.
“Why are you here?”
“Shouldn’t I be the one to ask you this?” Kathy did not answer her.
“I’m here to find Joseph!” Ella replied coldly.
“He went to visit other patients, you’ll have to wait.” Kathy’s tone was indifferent and she did not look at
her again.
Ella bit her lip in anger and sat on the other end of the couch, as she kept glaring at Kathy.
Kathy frowned helpless, and she turned her body against Ella.
Her soft voice sounded behind her, “I heard that you’ve been expelled?”
“Think so.”
Until now, no school had been willing to take her in.
“I’m the daughter-in-law agreed by the Joseph family now, Grandpa would definitely think of a way to
chase you out of City N. I advise you that if you’re clever enough, just leave on your own.” Ella’s tone
was extremely proud.
Kathy was expressionless, but her tightened fist exposed a bit of her anger.
“I’ll never leave Joseph,” she replied determinedly.
But Ella laughed, “This is not up to you to decide, you staying would be the worst outcome. The
Joseph’s Group might go bankrupt, and the relationship between Joseph and his grandfather would
worsen. Do you really hope that Joseph would live in frustration for his entire life?”
This was something she recently found out about. Joseph must have had a fall out with Mathew, and
stopped minding about the affairs of the Joseph’s Group. If this continues, it would be very detrimental
to Ella’s situation.
“Miss Bridges, I believe that Joseph would be able to handle all of this well. You’re just an outsider, are
you qualified to say these words?” Kathy’s tone was cold.
Although she knew that Ella was instigating her, she still felt horrible.
“Of course I have the qualifications. I’m almost one of the Joseph family, and I don’t want Joseph to be
deserted by his family and friends, bewitched by you. The Joseph’s Group is the place where he
belongs.”
Hearing this, Kathy laughed lightly, “You never know what Joseph really thought about. He’s a man with
principles and dreams, what he wants to do is never something that you and I can interfere.”
