He had already prepared everything, but because Joseph had told him to double check, so he went back to recheck again.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the contents were changed, and the file that contained Joseph\u2019s speech originally was deleted as well.<\/p>\n<p>Further, the worst thing was now the computer back stage was locked. It must have been hacked by some IT personnel, and it could only present the contents that were changed.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the according resolve plan was only to postpone the promotional event. But now almost all the participants of the meeting had arrived.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArrange for a programmer to come over to solve this,\u201d Joseph was not anxious at all, as he sat by the side. \u201cShow me the contents that were changed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Quinn\u2019s expression was dark, yet he shook his head, \u201cIt\u2019s some things about Veronica before, about what happened between her and Billy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once he said so, Joseph understood.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at Quinn, the pain in his eyes emerged.<\/p>\n<p>What once happened to Veronica hit home towards the Joseph family.<\/p>\n<p>Although Veronica was the victim, but if this incident was exposed, Veronica would certainly be unable to handle it.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily he had managed to discover it earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph\u2019s expression was extremely dark as he looked at the time, \u201cI want the promotional event to begin in one hour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright,\u201d Quinn agreed.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph\u2019s orders were never to be gone against.<\/p>\n<p>In the event venue, Kathy saw that some of the guests were already displeased. It was already more than half an hour that the promotional event had started, yet it had not begun.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy brother is never this unpunctual,\u201d Veronica said worriedly.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s face paled and finally she could not help but go over to the back stage. She wanted to bring Veronica along, but she waved her hands, \u201cJust go check on my brother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy nodded, and went over from the stairs.<\/p>\n<p>In the silent corridor, despite that Ella had already lowered her voice, but Kathy still heard pieces of her conversation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI changed everything, but it was still discovered\u2026 I already tried my best\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy did not hide, Ella hung up her call and saw Kathy suddenly, her face immediately paled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen did you come here?\u201d Ella glared at her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat have you done to the promotional event?\u201d but Kathy asked coldly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about!\u201d Ella turned and walked away.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned, she could not stop her. She walked quickly to the back stage, Joseph was standing before the window, his silhouette slender.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happened?\u201d Kathy frowned.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Joseph turned and wrapped his arms around Kathy tightly out of the sudden.<\/p>\n<p>His force was so hard as if he wanted to grind her into his bones.<\/p>\n<p>At this moment, Kathy could clearly feel his fear.<\/p>\n<p>What on earth could have made Joseph afraid?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe contents of the projection had a bit of an accident, it\u2019s almost fixed now,\u201d Joseph replied lightly.<\/p>\n<p>The tech team of the Joseph\u2018s Group was here in BV City, and they were highly efficient.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDid Ella do this?\u201d Kathy\u2019s words came out fast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElla?\u201d Joseph squinted, \u201cWhat do you know?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But now\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiss Bridges, you have no choice,\u201d looking at Ella\u2019s hesitation, Quinn\u2019s tone was icy.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph went down the stage. As there were many reporters interviewing, Kathy was blocked by the crowd in the middle and was unable to get close to Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>She could only wait at the back stage. When she saw Quinn, she asked, \u201cVeronica had always been by my side just now. But from the start of the promotional event until now, she\u2019s never reappeared. Call Veronica, Quinn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was originally not very worried, but it has been hours, even if she had went to the washroom she would have been back by now.<\/p>\n<p>But she never saw Veronica appearing.<\/p>\n<p>Quinn\u2019s expression was taut, \u201cShe said that she was too tired and is now resting in the hotel, don\u2019t worry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see,\u201d Kathy heaved a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n<p>But when she gave it a second thought, Veronica had been quite energised when she was by her side, why would she suddenly\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs she feeling unwell?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I\u2019ll go back to have a look at her later, don\u2019t worry,\u201d Quinn consoled her.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Kathy still felt a little strange.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Joseph came back. Before she was able to talk to Joseph, Quinn was already here to talk about work. Quinn and Joseph did not come out from the meeting room until half an hour later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you not returning to the hotel in the afternoon?\u201d Kathy looked at him.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph had nothing scheduled for the afternoon, except for a dinner party at night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuinn has to go back to City N, I have to stay here at the event venue. Can you go back first and sleep for a while?\u201d Joseph replied gently.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned and was a little unwilling.<\/p>\n<p>She did not want to be separated from Joseph.\u2003<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1206","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1206","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=1206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
