He was never used to explaining, and at this moment, he didn\u2019t say anything.<\/p>\n<p>At that time, Ella threatened him to marry her so that she would help Kathy clarifying the medical accident.<\/p>\n<p>And thereafter, he played a trick to investigate the person behind Ella.<\/p>\n<p>There was never a moment when he thought of marrying Ella.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, why do you marry her then, do you like her?\u201d Kathy asked nervously.<\/p>\n<p>This was something that she didn\u2019t want to ask in the past.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest fear was that the answer would disappoint her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat wedding, it wouldn\u2019t have taken place.\u201d After a while, Joseph spoke.<\/p>\n<p>To her surprise, \u201cSo you have arranged it all along?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why would the Ella\u2019s family took the people away only on the day of the wedding, all this, she thought was just a coincidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYup, I wouldn\u2019t marry her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen why do you agree to this marriage at the beginning?\u201d Kathy asked with a low voice.<\/p>\n<p>A certain thought flashed through her mind, was it because of her?<\/p>\n<p>It happened just at that time when Ella helped her.<\/p>\n<p>But\u2026she didn\u2019t even associate that two matters together at that time.<\/p>\n<p>I needed to check the Bridges family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStop thinking of nonsense. We will remarry when you are discharged from the hospital.\u201d Joseph said it without a doubt.<\/p>\n<p>Pouting her lips with a resistant look, Kathy said, \u201cNo, it can\u2019t be so perfunctory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPerfunctory?\u201d Joseph frowned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, we were in a hurry last time when we got married but this time was not allowed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat does Mrs Joseph want?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t call me that, I am not Mrs Joseph yet!\u201d Kathy said in a righteous manner.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph smiled, \u201cHmm, Kat?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He had always remembered Kathy\u2019s nickname.<\/p>\n<p>As the words fell, Kathy was slightly lost in her thought for a moment, she remembered that there was also a boy who had once called her that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat!\u201d Kathy looked at Joseph in front of her, \u201cYes!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTell me, what does Mrs Joseph want?\u201d Joseph lifted her chin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s fall in love first.\u201d Kathy said with a serious face.<\/p>\n<p>This was the step they had skipped at first, but now, she wanted to take it step by step.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen to you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy then took off her ring, passing it to Joseph and said, \u201cI will put on the ring again when we get to the engagement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSoon.\u201d Joseph hooked his lips.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s cheeks reddened slightly and she startled when seeing Joseph was about to lie up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph\u2026what are you doing!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSleeping.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my ward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI own this hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy: \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou rogue!\u201d How can that be!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaven\u2019t played yet.\u201d The smile under Joseph deepened as he wrapped his arm around Kathy, \u201cLet\u2019s sleep, girlfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The following week, Kathy continued studying for her new semester while recovering.<\/p>\n<p>Worrying about the progress at the Joseph\u2019s Group, Kathy asked Joseph, \u201cHave you found someone to replace me at the Joseph\u2019s Group?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It seemed like she had been in the hospital for a month.<\/p>\n<p>But the progress of the research and development couldn\u2019t be delayed any further.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you still want to go to the Joseph\u2019s Group after you are discharged from the hospital?\u201d Joseph asked seriously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want.\u201d Kathy said while nodding her head.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the fact that she wanted to learn a little more, it was also due to the reason that she could meet Joseph there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t arranged other colleagues to go over there, you can go over there once you are discharged from the hospital and when your body is fully recovered.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, thank you.\u201d Kathy said sincerely.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph sneered and squinted his eyes, \u201cRecord it on the schedule, I would like to see what he wants to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finishing his words, he then shut down his computer and left his office.<\/p>\n<p>John looked at the time, Mr. Joseph had only been at the Joseph\u2019s Group for two hours\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Joseph had hardly come back to the Joseph\u2019s Group and the senior shareholders had already been slightly discontented, yet, this had also reached Mathew\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was not surprised when he received a call from his grandfather.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow is the grandson-in-law doing?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything is going well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s good. Joseph, don\u2019t forget your status, you can\u2019t juggle both the positions of the Ocean University and the hospital.\u201d Mathew\u2019s tone was slightly cold.<\/p>\n<p>Upon hearing this, Joseph frowned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandfather, I\u2019m in control of myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mathew could judge by himself that Joseph was talking perfunctorily to him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat kind of measure do you have? If you have the sense of proportion, you wouldn\u2019t have taken up the hospital position!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandfather, you always know well that my mind is never on the Joseph\u2019s Group.\u201d Joseph\u2019s tone was very calm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho do you think in the entire Joseph family that is more qualified to sit in this position than you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will arrange for a suitable professional manager.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBastard!\u201d Mathew was utterly furious. \u201cThe Joseph\u2019s Group is the hundred years old foundation of our Joseph\u2019s family, I will definitely not allow it to be handed over to an outsider.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph frowned, knowing well of his grandfather\u2019s temper, he dared not to say any more.<\/p>\n<p>He just said lightly, \u201cThe members of the board of the directors will not change, grandfather, your thinking is too fixed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without further talking, Joseph hung up the call.<\/p>\n<p>Mathew angrily slammed his phone down and ordered, \u201cBook me a flight back to City N immediately!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>A week later was Billy\u2019s court date. He was suspected of manufacturing high generic drugs, and he was the person in charge, so he must take full responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Before his court, he contacted Jennifer Booth and requested for a meet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBilly, what else do you want to say?\u201d Jennifer\u2019s tone was cold.<\/p>\n<p>There was only disappointment left now for this son whom she raised up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1097","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1097","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=1097"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
