You must seize the chance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alexia said so too.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy seemed a bit sullen. She often felt uncertain about their relationship just because Joseph was so outstanding.<\/p>\n<p>It was normal to drink wine in a dinner party. However, Joseph poured juice into Kathy\u2019s glass. Sue tried to stop him but in vain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNice try. Joseph cares about her a lot,\u201d Lincoln said teasingly with his long legs crossed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s OK. I can drink some with your friends.\u201d Kathy frowned. Everyone drank. Although she was a wimpy drinker, she could still take a sip or two.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnyway, Joseph will take you home if you\u2019re drunk.\u201d Sue blinked at Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy flushed slightly. She did not dare to get drunk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnly one sip,\u201d Joseph said seriously with a straight face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKathy, Joseph is so strict with you. Are you preparing for pregnancy?\u201d Kathy had just taken a sip and almost spat it out.<\/p>\n<p>Pregnancy \u2026<\/p>\n<p>She immediately shook her head, \u201cJoseph and I don\u2019t want a baby now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve been married for a year, Joseph. Didn\u2019t your grandpa press you to have one?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not up to him,\u201d Joseph said in a deep voice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t let Kathy wait too long.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou talk too much, Sue. Enjoy your wine!\u201d Lincoln handed a glass of wine to Sue.<\/p>\n<p>Sue was dissatisfied and involuntarily leaned against Lincoln. The moment they touched each other, they burnt with passion.<\/p>\n<p>But when they were about to kiss, Sue stopped.<\/p>\n<p>She pushed Lincoln away and staggered out while supporting the wall.<\/p>\n<p>She seemed to want to vomit. Kathy went to support her and said to them, \u201cWe need to go to the bathroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walking out of the private room, Sue smiled and leaned against the wall. She took out a pack of cigarettes.<\/p>\n<p>She was very hot. With a cigarette in her slender white finger, she looked even more charming.<\/p>\n<p>She was born as a beauty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not good for girls to smoke.\u201d Kathy frowned.<\/p>\n<p>Sue smiled, \u201cOnly nicotine can make me calm down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy recalled the time when Lincoln hugged Sue. Lincoln said he was single. But just now they seemed quite intimate. She looked at Sue in confusion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you a wimpy drinker?\u201d Sue asked her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I\u2019m.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou should learn from me. Women must be a good drinker and smoker. Otherwise, they treat you badly,\u201d Sue said seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy smiled. She wasn\u2019t objected to that. But it was the first time she had heard that.<\/p>\n<p>They were totally different. She was arrogant, beautiful, and attractive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot always. You can stay away from something for your whole life, so that you won\u2019t be addicted to it,\u201d Kathy said calmly.<\/p>\n<p>Sue narrowed her eyes, \u201cYou\u2019re a good girl.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI used to follow the rules, but later I realized that it was useless. Even though I was easily satisfied, sometimes I was still blamed by others for no reason.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou must try your best to get what you want, including a man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just as Sue wanted to take another puff on the cigarette, Lincoln come out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll you need to know is that if you were framed back then, I will definitely vindicate you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She always trusted him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow?\u201d His charming dark eyes narrowed.<\/p>\n<p>Her heart beat faster. As she was in a daze, Joseph started to kiss her again. It seemed that he was going to make out with her here in the car.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy couldn\u2019t refuse him. Fortunately, it was a separate parking lot, but Kathy was still very nervous \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The next afternoon, Kathy visited her supervisor on time according to the address Joseph gave to her.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was a little nervous before her former supervisor Hannah.<\/p>\n<p>Back then, she had read her thesis, but she didn\u2019t attend the thesis defense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKathy?\u201d Hannah stood up. She still remembered Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was a top student in the class, and she was satisfied with her thesis.<\/p>\n<p>However, Kathy got into trouble because of the thesis. She retired later, and that matter was left unsettled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMs. Hannah, you still remember me?\u201d Kathy\u2019s eyes turned red.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course. Sit down, please. I\u2019ve been living abroad since I retired. Recently I came back to visit my relatives. Mr. Joseph found me and said that your diploma has been detained.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes. My thesis was swapped out that year. Those teachers got the fake thesis in the thesis defense. Therefore, I hope you can prove to the university that you had read my thesis, my thesis was checked, and the one those teachers read in the thesis defense wasn\u2019t mine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hannah frowned, \u201cIt\u2019s a very complicated issue. I can only give it a try. Who would do this to you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know. I didn\u2019t offend anyone in college. I just want to prove my innocence and get my diploma back, so that I can study for a master\u2019s degree.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That was the most important thing for her. As for the one who framed her, she already had her answer, but she had no evidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-882","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/882","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=882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
