Kathy bit her lip and stared at the devilish man in front of her.
She...really dare not.
Smiling sarcastically, she turned her head and wanted to stay away from Reece.
But the elevator was very narrow. Even though Kathy was against the wall, she still can felt the
dangerous aura of Reece.
"What do you want to eat?" he asked in a deep voice.
"I have no appetite." Kathy said tonelessly.
"Even if you have no appetite, you must have a meal with me."
"Reece." Kathy looked up angrily, but she didn't know when the man was already standing in front of
her.
The distance between the two was very close. Kathy’s whole body tautened and just wanted to escape.
"Kathy, I have pampered you for three years, and I have no patience anymore."
"I can agree to everything except marry you." Kathy said in a low voice.
"I just want you to marry me."
At this time, the elevator door opened, and Kathy almost ran out. Reece's words kept lingering in her
ears. She didn't want to listen to him...
But she knew so clearly that Reece was holding her weakness, and she seemed to have no other
choice.
She couldn't let Reece report Jennifer. Her mother was advanced in years. How could her mother stay
in jail?
There must was a favorable turn in this matter.
Behind him, Reece's gaze fell on her from afar, watching Kathy look confused and flustered. He
frowned, and the distress in his eyes flashed.
Stepping forward, he said solemnly, "If you don't want to eat with me, I will send you back to Bridges's
house first."
Kathy had calmed down. She looked up lightly, "I booked a hotel."
"Why you are so indifferent to me?" Reece's eyes grew gloomy.
"Yes."
"Don't care about your mother?"
Kathy pursed her lips and raised her head quickly. The smile on Reece's lips was cold.
"Everything is ok except to marry you."
"I have dealt with almost all the things. I am afraid you don’t know dad can’t feel up to a long flight. He
has to rest here for at least one and a half years. I will go back to City N soon and submit those
documents to the police station..."
"Reece!" Kathy's face became paler, and she interrupted Reece's words suddenly.
She clenched her fist and couldn't help shaking.
"I promise you."
Saying this word almost used all of Kathy's strength. She turned and quickly stopped the taxi, and the
thin figure disappeared from Reece's sight.
Reece stood still and his face still tautened.
After a long while, he came back to his senses, and then drove after the taxi.
Kathy's hotel was very close, at the next intersection of the hospital, and when Kathy got into a taxi,
she reacted.
"Miss, where are you going?" Kathy came back to her senses, and then let him stop. She had already
seen the hotel where she was staying.
After taking the room card and going back to the room, Kathy lay down and turned on the phone. Alexia
sent her a WeChat message. Kathy thought about for a moment and then called her.
Alexia’s family had a great power in the market. Kathy asked her about Jennifer was suspected
manipulation of the stock market and hoped Alexia could help her to investigate.
"I can help you, but if Reece deliberately framed your mother, do you really want to marry him?"
"I promised him, but during this time, I will find a way to prevent this from happening." Kathy squeezed
his eyebrows tiredly.
"I will let my dad investigate it. Bridges Group may engage in illegal business in early years. I think we
can try to find Bridges Group’s evidence of crime. Reece will definitely not be able to get rid of it."
"Well, Alexia, thank you." Kathy said sincerely.
"Don't be polite. I don't want you to marry that bastard, I would rather you will be with Joseph." Alexia
muttered.
Kathy was stunned when she heard the name Joseph.
This time was very busy. She seemed to have not thought of this man for a long time.
She didn't know if he had gone back to City N or was still in Country F. Whether he and Zofia were
about to get married, she didn't want to know everything about him.
"Alexia, I really forget him." Kathy said calmly.
After that, she felt relieved.
In the past three years, she clearly knew that she still had concerns about this man, but in a few
months, he finally wore off her last attachment to him little by little.
He hated her because of Veronica's death, and perhaps, there were other reasons.
The more she knew, the more she was painful.
"Kathy, I'm sorry." Alexia said in a low voice.
She shouldn't have said that.
Kathy smiled, "I am fine."
"Well, I will inform you as soon as I have news about your mother."
After hanging up the phone, Kathy closed her eyes tiredly. Outside the suite, a tall figure stood outside
the door for a long time.
Reece's slender fingertips held cigarettes, one after another, until he had finished smoking a whole
pack of cigarettes before leaving.
Back at the hospital, Karl was already asleep and Jennifer was sitting on the sofa. When Reece came
over, his face changed.
"Mom."
"Don't call me mom; I don't have a son like you!" Jennifer lowered her voice, not wanting to affect Karl's
rest.
"If you don't divorce my dad one day, I will still call you "Mom"." Reece smiled coldly.
Jennifer frowned, closed the door to the ward and walked out, "Let's talk."
Reece shrugged to express agreement.
At night, it was very cool in City L.
"Now Bridges Group is in your hands, you let Karl go."
"Are you begging me?" A faint sneer crossed Reece's face.
"Yes, I'm begging you." Jennifer took a deep breath. "Your purpose is me, isn't it?"
"You overestimate yourself too much." Reece squinted coldly.
"What do you want? If you really want me to go to jail, just report me." Jennifer said solemnly.
Hearing that, Reece chuckled softly, "You are my mother after all, I wouldn't be so cruel."
"If you are not cruel, you won't scheme against me for three years." Jennifer said coldly.
She had never thought that Reece would actually scheme against her. The evidence of the crime was
conclusive. Even if she knew Reece framed her, she also will be dealt with according to law.
"I got what I wanted." Reece looked at her.
"What?"
"Kathy agreed to marry me." There was a deep smile in his eyes.
But Jennifer trembled all over, and immediately shook her head, "I don't agree!"
She knew from the beginning that her daughter didn't like Reece and even rejected him, how could she
still agree to marry him!
"You don't have the final say about this. Kathy knew about your crime. She won't ignore you." Reece
said coldly.
"You threatened her." Jennifer's face was very pale, and even his eyes were red.
She tightened her fingertips slightly and couldn't help shaking.
She couldn’t be a burden on her daughter.
