It was an investigation on the spread of counterfeit MT Medicine. Herbert definitely had something to do with this issue from the exposed information.<\/p>\n<p>It was her.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking of Herbert preventing Nellie from signing the contract with NCHV Medical Company three days ago, Kathy never expected that Herbert would disclose the information of counterfeit MT Medicine.<\/p>\n<p>Why did Herbert do that?<\/p>\n<p>It seemed that Herbert had nothing to do with NCHV Medical Company.<\/p>\n<p>When Kathy was inattentive, Joseph hung up the phone and sat down beside her. \u201cThe news about the counterfeit MT Medicine had something to do with Herbert.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy turned to look at him with her hands trembling.<\/p>\n<p>Could it be that Herbert slandered NCHV Medical Company because Herbert didn\u2019t like her?<\/p>\n<p>Joseph clearly understood her thoughts. He frowned, \u201cIt is obvious that this incident cannot be planned by Herbert alone. It involved many figures from political and business areas. And Herbert wasn\u2019t able to plan all of these with her insufficient background.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho else did you suspect?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt present, I don\u2019t have sufficient evidence. But, since Herbert is involved in this issue, I will conduct an in-depth investigation following this clue.\u201d Joseph squinted his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Herbert\u2019s group had already been acquired by Hilton Group and Herbert is Billy Hilton\u2019s fianc\u00e9e. If she is not capable, then it can only be that Billy helps her.\u201d Kathy analyzed.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph said, \u201cYou are quite smart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy stared at him. She was smart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust a guess. But I am afraid that she targeted me.\u201d Kathy clenched her palms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf she dared to target you, then I would let her pay for it,\u201d Joseph said coldly but his words scared people.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy couldn\u2019t tell her feeling deep down. There were too many things involved between her and Herbert. Herbert was hostile towards Kathy and it was not just because of Peter Champs.<\/p>\n<p>They walked outside. It was late and most restaurants in hotels were closed. This wasn\u2019t a bustling commercial area. Only some small stalls were still opened.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking of Joseph\u2019s distinguished status, Kathy was afraid that he wouldn\u2019t sit on the street with her and eat. Kathy dared not think about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seemed that all restaurants were closed.\u201d Kathy pulled him back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEat what you want,\u201d Joseph said directly.<\/p>\n<p>All emotions of Kathy were caught by him.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned and pointed to the barbecue stall on the opposite side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you sure?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sure enough, his face darkened.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as Kathy turned around and walked into the hotel, he arrogantly held her waist and led her to the barbecue stall to sit down.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was tall with long legs. He looked so awkward when sitting on the small chair on the side of the road.<\/p>\n<p>Especially his legs couldn\u2019t be bent, and they almost reached Kathy\u2019s feet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShall we pack the food back and eat?\u201d Kathy looked at him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo.\u201d Joseph answered coldly.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy ignored him and ordered what she loved. Then she handed the menu to Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>He didn&#8217;t check the menu and asked Kathy to order.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPig blood, chicken kidney, powder intestine&#8230;\u201d The boss of the stall confirmed Kathy\u2019s order.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph\u2019s continuous cold countenance fell and finally picked up the menu in front of him.<\/p>\n<p>After a while, he said solemnly, \u201cI would like to have a bowl of noodles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t you like barbecue?\u201d Kathy asked him.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph\u2019s gaze fell on the barbecue grill a few meters away. The fire was very strong, and the smell was very fragrant. He just looked at this messy place, then he finally couldn\u2019t handle it anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Especially, there was a creature across the feet of the boss of the barbecue stall.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph stood up almost immediately, clasping Kathy\u2019s wrist, and took her away.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph looked down and he seemed to see through her thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will punish you if you are found to break your words.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s the punishment?\u201d Kathy was mad. Now he didn\u2019t trust her.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph thought carefully. For a long while, there was a dangerous smile on his face.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy felt so scared.<\/p>\n<p>His hands suddenly pressed against Kathy\u2019s slender waist, and then went down, kneading her.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, Kathy\u2019s face blushed. She wanted to push him away but failed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHuh? You know what I mean,\u201d Joseph said ambiguously.<\/p>\n<p>But Kathy knew what he meant from his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo way!\u201d she refuted. It seemed that the elevator arrived. She ran back.<\/p>\n<p>But she was in one room with Joseph. Where could she hide?<\/p>\n<p>Kathy thought that she would be hungry for the whole night. But when she finished her shower, there were full of delicious food on the table.<\/p>\n<p>Steak, fried chicken, and French fries. This combination wasn\u2019t like something Joseph would eat. He always advocated fresh and healthy food.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEating these at night would lead to poor digestion.\u201d Kathy ignored the food. She was still mad that Joseph had thrown away her barbecue.<\/p>\n<p>When she came back to the bedroom, she felt hungrier.<\/p>\n<p>Lying on the bed, she tossed in depression.<\/p>\n<p>Only when she almost rolled to the bed, Joseph hugged her firmly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you playing with me?\u201d Joseph\u2019s voice was low and sexy.<\/p>\n<p>An itchy breath sprayed on her neck, and Kathy\u2019s whole body was warm. Lifting her eyes, Joseph\u2019s kiss had already fallen unpreparedly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-846","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/846","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=846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
