Ella stunned, Mathew had long arranged for Joseph his future path. He was one of the Joseph family,
so he had to take over the Joseph’s Group.
Just like now she was already one of the Bridges family, since Reece was in charge of the Bridges
family now, so she had to obey him.
Being in a rich and powerful family, Ella was very clear about these.
“The thing he has to do is to go back to the Joseph’s Group and not stay at the hospital,” Ella’s voice
went lower and lower.
These words came out rather unconfidently.
This was what Mathew told her. What she had to do was to convince Joseph to return to the Joseph’s
Group. If she had done so, Mathew would allow her to be engaged to Joseph.
But there was no possibility that Joseph would be convinced by her.
At this moment, the man pushed the door open and came in.
Seeing Ella, displease started spreading from Joseph’s expression.
“Doctor Joseph, I’ll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow,” Ella walked towards him.
“Alright,” Joseph responded coldly.
“It’ll be the one hundred anniversary gala of the Joseph’s Group, I’ll be accompanying Grandpa to
attend.”
“Ella, with your identity, you’ll never be one of the Joseph family,” one phrase from Joseph cut off all of
Ella’s planning.
Having said so, Joseph did not stay but left holding Kathy’s hand.
“You’ll be there tomorrow, right?” Ella followed them and asked anxiously.
Joseph have not been minding the affairs of the Joseph’s Group recently, so this gala was organised by
Mathew. But the Joseph’s Group must have notified Joseph.
Joseph was expressionless and only left her an indifferent silhouette.
He walked very fast, Kathy had to jog a bit to catch up with Joseph. Only when he got on the car did
Joseph’s taut expression loosened.
“Will you be going to the Joseph’s Group gala tomorrow?” Kathy looked at the man beside her.
“Yes,” Joseph nodded, and pinched his brows in exhaustion.
Kathy frowned a little, and reached over to massage him on her own accord.
“You’ll be going with me, right?” Joseph gave her a heated gaze.
Kathy bit her lip and did not answer.
She would definitely be seeing Mathew at the Joseph’s Group gala, but now that Mathew was so
against her, she did not want to humiliate herself by appearing before him.
Further, Ella had said just now that she would also be going.
“If you don’t go with me, Grandpa would force for Ella to be my partner,” Joseph said on purpose.
Hearing this, displease appeared in Ella’s eyes and she immediately put her arm into Joseph’s.
He was hers.
She did not want Ella to be near him at all.
Joseph’s eyes sparkled with laughter, as he raised Kathy’s tiny face and kissed her forehead.
“I’ll just be there to show my face. I’m still one of the Joseph family and I can’t be absent.”
The following day, John brought over some expensive gowns and Kathy took them into the walk-in
closet to try them on. After she picked one, she returned the other two.
But John had already left. Joseph held onto her, “Keep these gowns, there aren’t many gowns here in
Joseph Bay.”
“I don’t have to attend galas often,” Kathy thought that it was unnecessary.
These haute couture gowns were worth a few hundred thousand dollars each, she felt that if she were
only to wear them once, renting one would be enough.
But Joseph was never stingy, so he hung them in the closet for her forcibly.
The Joseph’s Group hundredth anniversary gala was held at a resort hotel in the West Suburban. This
hotel was newly built by the Josephs Group not long ago, it was a scene of luxury.
Kathy stepped down on heels, holding on to Joseph’s arm.
A lot of the guests were familiar with Kathy, as there was only her by Joseph’s side.
Seeing that her brother came, Veronica immediately pushed her wheelchair towards him, with Quinn by
her side.
“I thought that you’d never come,” Veronica frowned in exasperation.
“Yes,” Joseph was expressionless.
Only when he looked at Kathy was there some emotion in his eyes.
“Grandpa isn’t here yet, and just now I was the only one from the Joseph family. A lot of people
surrounded me asking about the recent events of the Joseph’s Group, I was speechless,” Veronica
continued in frustration.
Fortunately Quinn was by her side, and held off the meddling people for her.
“Pity my sister,” Joseph’s expression softened a little.
But when he faced the guests, his expression went cold and he refused to answer anything about the
Joseph’s Group.
The guests could not help but be a bit disappointed, recently the stock price of the Joseph’s Group had
been plummeting, and a lot of their projects stopped. Many guessed that this was due to the
disharmony between the key officers of the Joseph’s Group, and now that Joseph had only just taken
over the Joseph’s Group, if this situation continued the Joseph’s Group might not be able to sustain.
These words were eventually spread out in the gala, Joseph heard it but only frowned slightly.
Kathy looked at the calm man beside her, she really could not guess his thoughts.
At this moment, a familiar being came over from nearby. It was Reece dressed in a navy blue suit.
With one hand in his pocket and the other holding a wine glass, he walked towards Kathy’s direction.
“Kathy, we meet again,” Reece raised his glass, it was apparently that he wanted to clink glasses with
Kathy.
But Kathy did not take heed of him.
“Mr Bridges,” she nodded politely and continued a silent conversation with Joseph.
Joseph’s eyes had never even landed on Reece.
Reece’s hand that was holding the wine glass was tightening inch by inch.
At this moment, the star of the gala finally came.
Mathew was old, walking in holding a cane with Ella’s help, but his aura was still majestic and glorious.
Ella that was by his side was dressed in a gown of white satin, there was a diamond tiara on her head.
Her makeup was extremely beautiful and impeccable.
She was like an angel that fell from the heavens, intricate and beautiful.
Almost all the men could not help themselves and landed their gazes on Ella.
To be able to accompany the gala, Ella’s identity was immediately gossiped about.
But the Bridges family was always low profile and not many knew about Ella.
Yet tonight she was the prettiest of the city.
Kathy looked at the woman dressed in white from afar, if this was not the Joseph’s Group gala, she
would have thought it was Ella’s engagement party.
“Ms Bridges looks very beautiful today,” Kathy remarked lightly.
Joseph frowned, his gaze merely swept through Ella and not hover.
“No matter how pretty she is, I don’t care about her,” Joseph’s voice was low.
Kathy looked at Joseph, whenever he looked at her, he never could hide the deep love in his eyes.
“Mr Joseph’s eyes can only look at me,” Kathy said mightily.
“Then it’ll depend on what Ms Kathy would do,” Joseph raised his eyebrow, a bit of enticement
spreading.
The close movements of the two over here was all seen by Mathew, as his expression dimmed and he
ordered his assistant to bring Joseph over alone.
“I’ll be waiting for you here.”
Joseph allowed no explanation and held on to her tiny hand, wanting to bring her along.
But the assistant said dilemma, “Mr Mathew said that Mr Joseph should go alone.”
“I won’t be there to provoke him then,” as he said so, Joseph halted in his footsteps.
“Young Master.”
Kathy looked at the deadlock situation and took the initiative to loosen her grip, “You should go over
first, you’re also the main role tonight, stop arguing with your grandfather.”
She never wanted to see Joseph and Mathew falling out.
