Initially, Lincoln was willing to come to the Joseph Group firstly because of Joseph, and another reason was that they had a common enemy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Hilton Group acquired the Herbert Group and can be considered a merger. Kingston was a powerful figure in N City for the past few years. Billy\u2019s move was very conservative.\u201d When they started to talk about work, Joseph chillingly frowned.<\/p>\n<p>In his estimation, Peter won\u2019t be bankrupt so easily.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if they join forces with the Herbert Group, they are no match for our prowess. Joseph, after all these years, I can\u2019t endure it anymore.\u201d Lincoln  coolly squinted his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>The two of them chatted about work in the office. Lincoln  just came back to N city and they called a few friends to join them at the bar that night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, do you want to call your wife along? I\u2019m very curious about her.\u201d Lincoln  held onto the wine glass and squinted his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>After all, all this while Joseph isn\u2019t interested in womanizing and suddenly he was married. He was curious about how it happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s working at NCHV Medical Company. If you want to see her, come for a meeting tomorrow.\u201d At this moment, Johnson also came.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, who is she?\u201d Seeing that Joseph was tightlipped, Lincoln  turned and asked Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson had a look at Joseph, raised his eyebrow, and said, \u201cShe\u2019s not in our circle of friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo your grandfather agreed?\u201d Lincoln  asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandfather accepted and he was very satisfied,\u201d Joseph said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJohnson, then I\u2019ll come for the meeting tomorrow.\u201d Lincoln  looked at him and raised his glass.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph frowned silently and checked on his phone, it was past midnight.<\/p>\n<p>She should already be asleep.<\/p>\n<p>At this moment, John walked in and leaned forward next to Joseph and said, \u201cBilly mentioned to the higher-ups about the rejection, now HY Group temporary doesn\u2019t need to relocate to Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was calm and his mood didn\u2019t change drastically.<\/p>\n<p>He twirled his wine glass, the scarlet red wine reflected in his deep eyes and the chill was overflowing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow\u2019s the investigation into today\u2019s matters?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndeed it was Peter who used Missus to threaten Billy. Thereafter Billy and Peter had a long talk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBilly is related to your wife?\u201d Lincoln  asked coldly.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph maintained his cool and his entire aura was very insidious.<\/p>\n<p>It was as if the wine glass would shatter in his hand. He nonchalantly said, \u201cKathy is too na\u00efve and Billy approached her on his own. She wouldn\u2019t detect it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI found out that Kathy\u2019s mother Angela and Mrs. Hilton\u2019s relationship was complicated. Joseph, you should take note.\u201d Johnson cautioned.<\/p>\n<p>If Kathy has to lean on Billy, then Joseph must be extra careful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is my wife, I trust her,\u201d Joseph said sternly.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph left soon after.<\/p>\n<p>Lincoln  frowned in dissatisfaction, \u201cJoseph, to think that I just came back! Come back here! We shall drink to our heart&#8217;s content!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph didn\u2019t stop but when he stepped out of the private room, Edith walked over.<\/p>\n<p>When she saw that Joseph wanted to leave, she looked upset, \u201cJoseph, I just came, don\u2019t go back so early.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph said expressionlessly, \u201cEdith, my wife is at home waiting for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After he said that, he left in big strides.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAren\u2019t you angry with me? If so, don\u2019t come near me.\u201d Kathy said angrily.<\/p>\n<p>In the evening she spent a lot of effort preparing dinner for him and to think that he ended up going for a drink!<\/p>\n<p>Joseph squinted and pinched Kathy\u2019s chin until she had no choice but to look at him, \u201cYes, I\u2019m very angry but I\u2019m angry with myself. When you were threatened by Peter, I wasn\u2019t by your side and I wasn\u2019t the one who saved you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was puzzled, so\u2026 is Joseph feeling guilty?<\/p>\n<p>But it was her who rejected Joseph accompanying her and she doesn\u2019t want to be seen with him in public.<\/p>\n<p>She can\u2019t blame him for that.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy bit her lip in heartache when she saw Joseph\u2019s disappointment with himself.<\/p>\n<p>What he had done had already exceeded their agreed relationship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKathy, next time I\u2019ll lock you to my side, okay?\u201d Joseph\u2019s face leaned nearer and pressed onto Kathy\u2019s forehead. His every word sank into her ears.<\/p>\n<p>What a bully.<\/p>\n<p>But Kathy wasn\u2019t disgusted.<\/p>\n<p>She had been back at NCHV Medical Company for a month but she missed working with Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>She thinks of him during work, she thinks of him when she\u2019s resting. She thinks of him all the time.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s really\u2026 really mad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy are you so excessive?\u201d She looked at Joseph and pushed his chest, but\u2026 she could budge it.<\/p>\n<p>He smiled and his voice was soft and deep, \u201cYes, and I can be even more excessive. Mrs. Joseph, if something really happens to you, I don\u2019t know what will I do\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s heart raced, her breath was already stolen by Joseph. He firmly pressed her onto the bed and proceeded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-821","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/821","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=821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
