Our mother saved his life, so he won&#8217;t ignore you.&#8221; Bertie frowned again. &#8220;As long as you give it another try, there might be a chance that he is persuaded.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With that, Bertie handed his sister a glass of scarlet wine.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia lowered her eyes and slowly smiled.<\/p>\n<p>Holding the wine glass and wearing high heels, she walked towards Joseph&#8217;s table.<\/p>\n<p>Many doctors and professors respected Marshall Group as a patron. Besides, Zofia was also an intern. She gradually became familiar with many professors through this meeting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dr. Marshall, you really did hard work this time.&#8221; A young doctor approached her.<\/p>\n<p>Since Zofia was also strikingly good-looking, many more people came to greet her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s you who have worked so hard and done us a great favor,&#8221; Zofia replied while having one eye on Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing him stand up, Zofia gently pushed away the man in front of her and walked towards him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph.&#8221; Zofia gave him a bright smile.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph&#8217;s expression was cold as usual. He nodded and prepared to leave.<\/p>\n<p>However, Zofia still stood in his way. In the next second, her glass suddenly collided and she moved her hand backwards. As a result, most of the wine was poured onto her evening dress.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph &#8230; I&#8217;m sorry.&#8221; Zofia&#8217; face turned pale and she felt chilly all over the body. Subconsciously, she leaned against Joseph&#8217;s body.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the surrounding guests looked over. Joseph took off his jacket and draped it over her body. Then he said softly, &#8220;Go to change first.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My room isn&#8217;t here&#8230;&#8221; Zofia looked at him with frustration.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let Bertie send you back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After saying that, Joseph left directly.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia bit her lips yet continued to follow him. She even bore to tear off her dress.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph, could you let me go up while waiting for my brother? He can&#8217;t leave yet.&#8221; Zofia&#8217;s voice was pitiful and provocative.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph glanced at her dress and frowned.<\/p>\n<p>His cold eyes fell on her again. Zofia said, &#8220;Didn&#8217;t you say that I&#8217;m your sister? Can&#8217;t you just take care of your sister&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Follow me.&#8221; Joseph turned around.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia smiled secretly.<\/p>\n<p>At this moment, Kathy had just arrived at the Donsen Hotel. She was about to call Joseph when she saw Zofia in a jacket following him into the elevator.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia saw Kathy the moment the elevator door was about to close slowly.<\/p>\n<p>A smile lifted the corner of her mouth.<\/p>\n<p>Upon reaching the top floor, Zofia tactfully said, &#8220;I&#8217;ve already informed my brother. He&#8217;ll come to pick me up in half an hour. Do you have any clothes for me to change?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, let Bertie bring your clothes.&#8221; Joseph&#8217;s voice was calm and unperturbed.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia nodded and sat on the sofa, her gaze following Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>He sat at his desk and looked at his phone, thinking that Kathy probably hadn&#8217;t arrived yet.<\/p>\n<p>He started to deal with some work and didn&#8217;t say a word to Zofia.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph, my brother&#8217;s here. I&#8217;m leaving.&#8221; Zofia received a call from her brother and approached Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;OK.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Zofia had been used to Joseph&#8217;s indifference. She went into the bathroom and stayed there for quite a while before leaving the room.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy had already arrived at the corridor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, are you taking revenge on me now? You deliberately created such an illusion to make me misunderstand. Zofia, you&#8217;re insane,&#8221; Kathy said in a deep voice.<\/p>\n<p>Within the previous minute, Kathy had thought a lot.<\/p>\n<p>She had thought if they really did it. Then she realized she shouldn&#8217;t have thought about the assumption.<\/p>\n<p>It was impossible.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph would never betray her. Never.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Revenge? Kathy, I don&#8217;t want to be your enemy, as long as you return Joseph to me. Return him to me! Let me tell you something. Joseph wasn&#8217;t willing to do it just now, but I drugged him.&#8221; Zofia&#8217;s voice was a little hysterical.<\/p>\n<p>She was risking it.<\/p>\n<p>If she couldn&#8217;t make Joseph give up, then she must dishearten Kathy!<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Kathy suppressed her emotions with difficulty. She clenched her hands and bit her lips tightly.<\/p>\n<p>Drug.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, there was nothing Zofia wouldn&#8217;t do now.<\/p>\n<p>She looked at the torn hem of Zofia&#8217;s dress, which was also drenched. It was hard not to wonder the cause of this.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Believe it or not, I&#8217;ve slept with him. At least we&#8217;re equal now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked at Zofia coldly. In the next second, she raised her hand and slapped her in the face.<\/p>\n<p>It was probably because she had truly regarded Zofia as a good friend that now she was so disappointed in her.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Kathy knew that perhaps the current Zofia was her true self.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph owes the Marshall family a debt of gratitude. He won&#8217;t leave me.&#8221; Zofia touched her face and the hatred in her eyes was getting stronger.<\/p>\n<p>In the next second, she raised her hand to slap Kathy&#8217;s face, only to find her wrist grabbed by a faster hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1223","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1223","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=1223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
