Those fans were just distorting the truth!<\/p>\n<p>At the thought of this, Kathy felt extremely infuriated.<\/p>\n<p>She never intended to hide her relationship with Joseph, but she didn\u2019t expect that ever since Joseph had returned to the hospital, the number of his fans skyrocketed through the roof and he was even more famous than before.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, all his fans declared that Joseph had always been single\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Kathy felt her scalp tingle when she thought about those fanatical fans. If Joseph didn\u2019t make a statement by himself, there was no way those crazy fans would believe her.<\/p>\n<p>Just as she was still deep in her thoughts, Reece had already led her to the parking lot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will go back on my own, Mr Bridges. We are not that close to each other.\u201d Kathy turned around in an attempt to leave.<\/p>\n<p>Even though she might be halted by those fans, she would rather not spend time with Reece alone.<\/p>\n<p>She entered a taxi and felt frustrated that her good mood had been affected by those fans and Reece.<\/p>\n<p>When she returned to the Joseph Bay, dinner has been prepared by the maids early because Joseph had a surgery he needed to command at night. Kathy started to revise seriously after that.<\/p>\n<p>Reece returned to the surgical theatre but Ella\u2019s surgery was going to last three hours. He waited outside the theatre while accompanying Maria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou didn\u2019t go back to school lately?\u201d Maria asked coldly.<\/p>\n<p>She wasn\u2019t all that familiar with Reece. It had been a year since she was married into the Bridges family, and Reece had always been aloof and cold towards everyone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes I do.\u201d Reece replied coldly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t need to worry about Ella anymore after this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you telling me that you have time to take care of sister, Ms Bridges?\u201d Reece didn\u2019t intend to conceal the sarcasm in his tone.<\/p>\n<p>Maria would be out in different countries from time to time to catch his father in adulterous actions. His father never disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>Upon hearing that, Maria\u2019s face froze slightly as she vowed, \u201cI will definitely make time!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will respect Ella\u2019s decision.\u201d Reece said without emotion.<\/p>\n<p>Maria didn\u2019t respond for some time. Ella\u2019s decision\u2026 She would naturally have to stay in City N!<\/p>\n<p>However, Maria wouldn\u2019t allow that to happen!<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after, the red light on top of the door of the surgical theatre ceased to glow, and Joseph emerged from the theatre while removing his face mask.<\/p>\n<p>He looked at Maria and announced, \u201cThe surgery is a success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Colour finally returned to Maria\u2019s pale face as she asked, \u201cCan I go see Ella now?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph nodded simply and then he went back to his office.<\/p>\n<p>Reece accompanied Maria to the ward and saw that Ella was still unconscious. They needed to wait for an hour more for the anesthetic to wear off.<\/p>\n<p>At that moment, Maria\u2019s phone rang. It was the private detective.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYoung lady, Mr Bridges is in BV City now. He has a model by his side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When she heard that, Maria\u2019s face sunk. She stood up with mild fury boiling from within, \u201cSend me his address now!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reece\u2019s gaze fell on Maria\u2019s worked up face, and the corner of his mouth lifted up to form a smile.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will look after sister well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maria stared at this huge man in front of her, and in the end she still left.<\/p>\n<p>After half an hour, Ella finally woke up. Joseph came over to check her vitals.<\/p>\n<p>Ella still couldn\u2019t move at this moment, and she was blinking non-stop at Joseph. Her gaze was never averted from him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe surgery\u2026 is a success?\u201d She mumbled while the smile playing over her lips gradually became wider.<\/p>\n<p>Her eyes were sparkling with hope.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandpa, I remember who I am clearly, and I know that all of the projects handled by the Joseph\u2019s Group is proceeding smoothly. May I know what is your concern?\u201d Joseph replied without any emotion in his voice.<\/p>\n<p>Although he rarely appeared at the Joseph\u2019s Group, but he was sure that he had handled every single matter in time. He could see at once what those group of people are thinking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr Joseph, it has been many days since you last visited the Joseph\u2019s Group. We wanted to report to you about the progress of those projects, yet we didn\u2019t know where to find you. This has greatly affected the company\u2019s efficiency.\u201d One of the shareholders voiced out his concern.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s right. Although you are the director, you are also the president of our company. It wouldn\u2019t be too much to ask for your presence here, would it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Upon hearing that, Joseph lifted the corners of his lips while slowly looking upwards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGentlemen, you can be rest assured. There will be a new executive president coming to work next week, so if you have any complaints about me, you can raise them up by then.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When he finished his sentence, Joseph seemed like he was about to leave.<\/p>\n<p>However, Matthew called out to stop him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, sit down now!\u201d Matthew ordered coldly.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph furrowed his brows, \u201cGrandpa, you are no longer the director now. I don\u2019t need to listen to your orders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am still your grandfather!\u201d Matthew slammed the table while rising to his feet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re involving our familial ties, then we should talk this out at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph didn\u2019t stop in his tracks as he exited the meeting room.<\/p>\n<p>The lot of shareholders watched Joseph\u2019s back and asked with concern, \u201cMr Matthew, what should we do now? An executive president? Will that mean the end of our influence in company matters?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s right. Since Joseph had assumed the directorship, yet he is going to let someone else take over his position. How can the leadership position of the Joseph\u2019s Group fall into the hands of an outsider\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Matthew held on to his walking stick and spelled out his words vehemently, \u201cDon\u2019t worry, I won\u2019t let him do as he pleases. I am still alive and well!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As he said that, Matthew couldn\u2019t help coughing badly. He supported his frail body as he inched towards the president\u2019s office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1174","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1174","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=1174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
