Seeing Joseph coming over, they suddenly became a little nervous, but they admired and respected him more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr Joseph, no one is sitting here.\u201d One of the classmates had already spoken.<\/p>\n<p>Perceiving Joseph&#8217;s breath, Kathy bit her lip, a little nervous.<\/p>\n<p>But she didn\u2019t look up.<\/p>\n<p>The two classmates had already talked with Joseph, and occasionally asked Kathy, she could only participate in the conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Until Joseph&#8217;s meal was served.<\/p>\n<p>It was exactly the same as the shredded chicken noodles Kathy ordered.<\/p>\n<p>No chili, added more soy sauce.<\/p>\n<p>This wasn\u2019t Joseph\u2019s favorite taste\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned, trying to ignore it.<\/p>\n<p>But the classmate on the opposite side discovered it and said in surprise, \u201cJoseph has the same taste as Kathy!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph curled his thin lips faintly. \u201cIt tastes delicious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was speechless.<\/p>\n<p>She didn&#8217;t know that Joseph liked this kind of taste. He always preferred light food, and soy sauce was almost not seen on the table.<\/p>\n<p>But now\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Kathy didn&#8217;t think much. And she just wanted to finish eating quickly and go up first.<\/p>\n<p>The two classmates had been asking about Joseph&#8217;s professional knowledge, and Kathy planned to leave first after eating.<\/p>\n<p>But Joseph stopped her and said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKathy, come to my office later.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, is there anything wrong?\u201d Kathy had frozen for a couple of seconds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOfficial business.\u201dJoseph said concisely, without saying much at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>The two classmates finally found something strange. They looked at Kathy and Joseph back and forth, but they dared not say anything at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was her boss and her professor, so Kathy couldn\u2019t disobey him.<\/p>\n<p>Following Joseph all the way up to the top floor, Kathy kept an impassive face.<\/p>\n<p>And Joseph looked sullen and not as talkative as he was in the restaurant just now.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph seemed to be at work immediately after entering the office. And many executives were waiting outside to report to him, but they were afraid to enter.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy followed Joseph hesitantly, standing a few meters away from him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, is there any official business that I need to deal with?\u201d Kathy asked politely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou will help me take the meeting minutes later.\u201d Joseph threw her a notebook directly.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was speechless.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIsn&#8217;t this John&#8217;s job?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe will go to the police station to handle Veronica&#8217;s case later.\u201d Joseph said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat about the others?\u201d Kathy&#8217;s face clearly showed her resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Joseph raised his eyes and looked at her with a cold look.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy trembled and she dared not say anything.<\/p>\n<p>She sat aside, and several executives came in to report on the recent sales of several new drugs.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy had worked with Joseph for a long time before, and she was also agile in the work. The new drugs of the Joseph&#8217;s Group appeared to be gaining momentum and the sales had been rising, but a new drug seemed to have appeared on the market and was gradually occupying the market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis matter must be found out today. I want to know the details of this medicine.\u201d Joseph said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone nodded, and the office became quiet.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy arranged the minutes of the meeting and handed it to Joseph. She stood quietly next to him when his mobile phone rang.<\/p>\n<p>It was a call from John. Joseph pressed the speakerphone directly and stood in front of the French window with his back to Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>John&#8217;s voice came from the phone clearly, \u201cJoseph, according to the police&#8217;s feedback, Billy has dropped the prosecution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was not surprised, and he hung up after a few words.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can go out now.\u201d Joseph walked over and took the notebook from Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy nodded, and subconsciously she raised her head and glanced at Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>But Billy was still unrepentant.<\/p>\n<p>He would only destroy himself.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer did not want to see that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I&#8217;m going to crush the Joseph family.\u201d Billy vowed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou did it wrong in those days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was an accident!\u201d Billy was almost hysterical.<\/p>\n<p>He would do such a thing to Veronica simply because of the effect of alcohol, he did not hold the bag!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat&#8217;s what has happened. We cannot afford to offend the Joseph family now.\u201d Jennifer said earnestly.<\/p>\n<p>The Hilton family had a sparse population, and its power had been declining over the years, relying solely on the support of the Booth family.<\/p>\n<p>Zack had passed away, and now Booth Group was in charge of Jennifer, but it was always inferior to the current Joseph family.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was dangerous and terrifying, and everyone was afraid of him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, if we want to deal with the Joseph family, we only need to deal with Joseph, and his weakness is Kathy.\u201d Billy squinted coldly.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer turned pale when she heard this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStay away from my daughter!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, I was raised by you, too. Although I\u2019m just an adopted child, you can&#8217;t be so partial, right?\u201d Billy\u2019s eyes were terrifying.<\/p>\n<p>Billy was a man who had been devoured by hatred.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer was bitterly disappointed, and she didn&#8217;t even know what to say.<\/p>\n<p>She knew Billy so well that once he decided what to do, no one could stop him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you dare to use Kathy, don&#8217;t expect me to support you in the future.\u201d Jennifer said ruthlessly.<\/p>\n<p>Her only concern now was Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>She wasn&#8217;t with Kathy for so many years, she just wanted to make up for her, not to hurt her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will use her.\u201d Billy said stonily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1039","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1039","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=1039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
