Biting her lip, she shook her head without hesitation.<\/p>\n<p>She did not think Joseph would do something like this, of course she would not think so.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the voice beside her still disturbed her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe you won\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe person who did this to Sonny is from the Marshall family,\u201d Joseph held onto the back of her head and said in a gentle voice.<\/p>\n<p>His words fell onto Kathy\u2019s ears and she shuddered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you sure?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy does Sonny think that it\u2019s me?\u201d Coldness radiated from Joseph\u2019s eyes. He did not answer Kathy but asked in return.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I sent him to the hospital, the men who attacked him said they were under Mr Joseph. Sonny knew the relationship you had with Zofia before so he guessed it was you.\u201d Kathy\u2019s voice became lower and lower.<\/p>\n<p>Him and Zofia was the largest thorn in Kathy\u2019s heart now.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph naturally heard it, he grasped Kathy\u2019s chin and she had to raise her gaze to look at him immediately.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZofia and I?\u201d He squinted coldly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never had any type of relationship with Zofia before,\u201d he said word by word seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked at the man before her in shock. Clutching onto his shirt, she did not speak for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph would never lie to her, she always believed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was eighteen, I attended Zofia\u2019s birthday party on behalf of the Joseph family, but I was brought to her bathroom by one of the Marshall family on purpose. Zofia thought I saw her naked body and wanted me to be responsible for it. Afterwards, I couldn\u2019t stand the nagging of Veronica and my grandfather, so I only promised to stay with the Marshall family for one month to help Zofia come out of this trauma, then I left the Marshall family. Nothing ever happened between Zofia and I.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy could understand Joseph\u2019s explanation.<\/p>\n<p>So it was Zofia\u2019s design all this time?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen you\u2019ve never seen her\u2026\u201d Kathy\u2019s face paled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, it was all foggy in the bathroom and I couldn\u2019t see anything at all,\u201d Joseph admitted. In fact, when he knew it was a bathroom he immediately came out.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy stared at him, \u201cSo you\u2019ve never been together with Zofia?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At this moment, the smile on Kathy\u2019s lips could not help but widen.<\/p>\n<p>It seemed that she had cried for nothing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, if I had ever been with her before, I\u2019ll surely tell you about this. That incident years ago is never worth the mention in my eyes.\u201d Joseph held on to her tightly.<\/p>\n<p>Now he finally knew why Kathy did not pick up his call, he was angry and helpless at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut Zofia likes you a lot,\u201d Kathy could not help but mention.<\/p>\n<p>She even said that she would go after Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKathy, you only need to know that no matter who likes me, I\u2019ll only like you.\u201d His dark pupils looked at her, as Joseph\u2019s heated kiss landed, and Kathy almost drowned in his kiss. All her anger even disappeared.<\/p>\n<p>She leaned against Joseph\u2019s chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, as her emotions eventually relaxed.<\/p>\n<p>But once she thought of her friendship with Zofia that was likely to be gone for good, she still felt a little sad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Marshall family will bring Zofia back to Country C.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZofia would probably be reluctant,\u201d Kathy frowned.<\/p>\n<p>When Zofia had insisted to apply for Ocean University, the Marshall family already disagreed. It was Zofia that persisted and got admitted.<\/p>\n<p>If she was asked to go back, she would be unwilling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStop caring about the affairs of the Marshall family, alright?\u201d Joseph said gently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, alright. But\u2026 can you send someone over to protect Sonny?\u201d Kathy asked nervously.<\/p>\n<p>She did not want Sonny to be sceptical of Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Joseph\u2019s expression became cold, the aura around his body was also a little terrifying.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re very worried about him?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes\u2026 no!\u201d Kathy shook her head.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph\u2019s face was expressionless, for Reece to put her by his side, there must be some other intention, he would rather like to know what he was actually planning.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the mistake in determining the last bid, the Bridges Group had suffered a huge loss. The bidding proposal of the Joseph\u2019s Group that Ella had stolen from his office before, was placed there intentionally by him to mislead.<\/p>\n<p>But he did not expect the Bridges Group to fall into the trap he set down.<\/p>\n<p>Yet it was enough to prove that the Bridges Group was indeed targeting the Joseph\u2019s Group.<\/p>\n<p>Just that what was the reason behind?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiss Bridges really haven\u2019t given up on you,\u201d Kathy mumbled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI won\u2019t be taking any action against her for now,\u201d Joseph looked at Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright, since I believe that you won\u2019t be seduced by her anyways,\u201d Kathy commented relaxedly.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, the smile in Joseph\u2019s eyes widened as he held onto Kathy. Frequent kisses landed on her, making her ticklish and shy.<\/p>\n<p>The two messed around at Joseph Bay for quite a while, only they started doing what they were supposed to do.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph did not have to prepare for anything, his memory was always amazing, and it was almost photographic.<\/p>\n<p>But for Kathy\u2026 it was hard.<\/p>\n<p>She looked at the relaxed man before her in envy and jealousy, this was the difference between one human and another!<\/p>\n<p>At night, Joseph cooked by himself, as Kathy watched his busying figure indulgently. At this moment, her phone suddenly rang, it was a call from Sonny.<\/p>\n<p>She walked towards the window and picked up the call, \u201cSonny?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKathy, I finally succeeded in reporting the case today, was it because you helped?\u201d Sonny thought over it for a long time. Zofia probably would not mind his affairs anymore, and Kathy was the only one who knew that he was abused often.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was Joseph who helped,\u201d Kathy told him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHim? But wasn\u2019t he the one who sent the men\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sonny\u2019s words were interrupted by Kath quickly, \u201cThis has nothing to do with Joseph, please don\u2019t be sceptical about him anymore, I still trust Joseph\u2019s character.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s words made Sonny unable to rebut for a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1203","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1203","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=1203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
