Why does it seem to be getting worse, did Julian do something to it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;m fine.&#8221; It was a long time before Joseph&#8217;s face softened.<\/p>\n<p>After leaving the hospital, Kathy&#8217;s heart was in turmoil.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph&#8217;s words of remarriage with her may have been a joke, but she was unable to calm down.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as she got on the bus, her cell phone rang. It was a call from Jennifer, asking her to go to the Hilton Family&#8217;s house for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy wanted to reject it, but she had no classes at night. After thinking about it, she hadn&#8217;t seen Jennifer for more than half a month.<\/p>\n<p>It would take at least half an hour to get down from the station and walk to the villa, so Billy drove out to pick her up.<\/p>\n<p>Billy&#8217;s face was tense, and it was apparent that he was not in a good mood.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy didn&#8217;t say anything either, and both of them had their own thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>Only when she got out of the car did Billy open his mouth, &#8220;Have you been close to Joseph lately?&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nothing to do with you, is it?&#8221; Kathy did not want to answer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Hilton Group is going bankrupt.&#8221; Billy suddenly said.<\/p>\n<p>The Hilton Group&#8217;s situation was awful recently due to the Herbert Group&#8217;s bankruptcy. The market share of the Joseph Group&#8217;s new drugs was very high, and currently even the Hilton Group&#8217;s original market share was snatched away by the Joseph Group.<\/p>\n<p>A large number of unsold drugs on the market were all belonged to the Hilton Group.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph&#8217;s tactics were long-established to target the Hilton Group.<\/p>\n<p>It was just that Billy had just realized it now.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was surprised by the news.<\/p>\n<p>In her opinion, the Hilton Group was a big and famous enterprise, and the bankruptcy of the Herbert Group was expected, so how could even the Hilton Group be affected so much.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mom can&#8217;t sit still now, and she wanted you to return and help. Do you believe it?&#8221; Billy even laughed out at this time.<\/p>\n<p>He was busy cleaning up the Hilton Group&#8217;s mess, but it seemed to be useless. Jennifer was mobilizing her forces to help, but Joseph&#8217;s blow was too much of a surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was silent and went directly into the villa.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer sat on the sofa as she had done the first time they met, she was elegantly making tea.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kathy, you&#8217;re here. Sit down. Billy, you go up first.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I&#8217;ll be in the study room.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At this moment, Billy&#8217;s bad intention had been reduced quite a bit, and his face showed all signs of fatigue.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy withdrew her gaze.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mom misses you so much, so I asked you to come over to keep me company, didn&#8217;t disturb you, right?&#8221; Jennifer asked gently.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy shook her head, &#8220;I don&#8217;t have any classes today, either.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Good to hear that. Do you listen to the news often? The Herbert Group went bankrupt, and now The Hilton Group is affected. Billy is in a tough situation,&#8221; Jennifer sighed.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy didn&#8217;t know what to say for a moment.<\/p>\n<p>Although she and Jennifer had a mother-daughter relationship, the Hilton family was still unfamiliar to her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mom, I don&#8217;t really know these things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s partly right also. You&#8217;re usually very busy with your studies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mom, just say what you have in mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy could tell that Jennifer was hesitant to speak out.<\/p>\n<p>On hearing this, Jennifer lowered her face, &#8220;I know you&#8217;ve been close to Joseph lately, and you&#8217;ve been visiting him in the hospital every day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy&#8217;s face turned pale, &#8220;You sent someone to follow me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was Bertie who talked to me about it when he visited. None of us was following you.&#8221; Jennifer frowned.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy&#8217;s tone just now was a bit extreme, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sorry.&#8221; Kathy&#8217;s tone was indifferent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s fine. I just wanted to ask if you still want to be with Joseph?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, we won&#8217;t be together,&#8221; Kathy said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer frowned, &#8220;He&#8217;s striking at the Hilton Family, and I&#8217;m afraid that in the future, the Joseph Family won&#8217;t let the  Booth Group go either.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy didn&#8217;t even look at him, apologized and walked to the door.<\/p>\n<p>Bertie looked up and saw Billy catching up.<\/p>\n<p>He blocked him, &#8220;Billy, what are you doing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s none of your business!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kathy&#8217;s business is my business, don&#8217;t make use of her again,&#8221; Bertie said coldly, turned around and chased after her.<\/p>\n<p>Billy&#8217;s face was terribly cold, and his indignant fist smashed into the wall.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of the club, Kathy planned to halt a taxi, but Bertie had already driven over.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not safe to take a taxi back now.&#8221; He said in a deep voice.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What did Billy want to do just now?&#8221; Bertie asked.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at Kathy&#8217;s aggrieved face, he was heartbroken.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know.&#8221; Kathy shook her head.<\/p>\n<p>She didn&#8217;t even know where Billy was taking her to just now.<\/p>\n<p>She also didn&#8217;t want to have any contact with Billy at all.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If anything happens in the future, feel free to look for me, okay?&#8221; Bertie had a serious look on his face.<\/p>\n<p>He was worried that something dangerous would happen to Kathy if he had not passed by tonight.<\/p>\n<p>But he also knew that Kathy was resisting him, so he hadn&#8217;t approached her during this time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bertie, thank you for tonight.&#8221; Kathy didn&#8217;t accept his offer.<\/p>\n<p>She knew Bertie&#8217;s feelings, but their relationship could not be anything more than this.<\/p>\n<p>When she returned to the dormitory, Zofia just happened to be back.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Kathy getting down from Bertie&#8217;s car, she came over, &#8220;Why are you guys together?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy didn&#8217;t look good and didn&#8217;t talk.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia looked at Kathy&#8217;s gloomy face and then looked at her brother.<\/p>\n<p>Bertie didn&#8217;t say a word too and drove away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1026","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
