Looking at Joseph\u2019s expression, she wondered if he would be angry.<\/p>\n<p>She knew that Joseph had always hated her associating with the Hiltons, but this\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happened to her?\u201d Joseph\u2019s voice was warm and calm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChronic heart failure. I find her sickness too strange, so I want to check it out,\u201d Kathy explained.<\/p>\n<p>The car drove into Joseph Bay. Joseph looked at the photo and scanned the labels one by one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are routine drugs. Regular intake can control the illness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy paused for a moment, then took out a transparent bag. In it were some pills she took from Jennifer\u2019s drug bottle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTake a look at this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn outsider may assume you are a Hilton.\u201d Joseph suddenly smiled.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned. Alright, she noticed that he was jealousy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Joseph, Mrs. Hilton is good to me,\u201d Kathy said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I am not?\u201d Joseph turned his head, his eyes burning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Joseph treats me the best!\u201d Kathy\u2019s heart warmed up as she smiled.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph clasped the back of her head, his handsome face approaching, blocking her scorching breath.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy shouted softly. Joseph got on the top of her, fierce, gripping her wrists upwards. Her struggle was simply futile.<\/p>\n<p>After a long moment, Kathy flushed up to her ears, and Joseph let go of her with satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou got what you wanted. Now can you check this medicine for me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy didn\u2019t forget business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome and find me tomorrow at the Joseph\u2019s Group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Back to the Joseph Bay, Joseph started working, while John had been waiting for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Joseph, this is what you have asked me to find.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph opened the file, which contained everything about Kathy since her birth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want the records of the operating room for Jennifer\u2019s miscarriage 25 years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGot it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As John was leaving, Kathy met him bringing Joseph supper.<\/p>\n<p>John was a usual visitor of this place, so Kathy was used to it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAssistant John, have something before you go?\u201d Kathy asked politely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMrs. Joseph, it\u2019s time for me to leave. You should leave it to Mr. Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John nodded slightly, turned around, and looked at Kathy with a meaningful gaze.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was puzzled by him. Is there anything on her face?<\/p>\n<p>Standing in front of the mirror, she didn\u2019t notice anything unusual.<\/p>\n<p>It was already late at night. Kathy entered the study room, and Joseph was standing in front of the French window, his figure tall.<\/p>\n<p>She had thought he was on business so she had waited outside.<\/p>\n<p>Something was bothering him?<\/p>\n<p>Kathy stood at the door, finding him to be a stranger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph,\u201d she called him.<\/p>\n<p>The man did not turn around, as if he was lost in thought.<\/p>\n<p>It turned out that he had never given up on the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>However, how could this have anything to do with NCHV?<\/p>\n<p>Sammy died because of overdose of sleeping pills. Kathy remembered that NCHV did produce sleeping pills, but they were absolutely safe and standard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMrs. Joseph, you can go in now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy came back to her senses and walked into the office with a pale face. Joseph was sitting on the sofa with thick documents on the table in front of him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know about Peter?\u201d Kathy\u2019s voice trembled.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph\u2019s face darkened, but he didn\u2019t panic in the slightest.<\/p>\n<p>He nodded indifferently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d Kathy\u2019s mind was in a mess.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe couldn\u2019t reverse the case on his own, but he has got help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Help&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>The Herberts were no longer what they used to be, so the help was from&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Billy had been working for the Hilton Group. Could it be him?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not sure yet, but NCHV has gone through the MT Medicine incident and now is affected by this drug-induced death which can be a fatal blow to any company.\u201d Joseph frowned, his expression gloomy.<\/p>\n<p>Peter\u2019s move was indeed unexpected.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy understood what Joseph meant. This was not the first time NCHV had been questioned. If the public completely lost confidence in a company, then it would be difficult for it to win over the market with its drugs.<\/p>\n<p>What was worse, a death had occurred.<\/p>\n<p>No wonder Lincoln was so angry.<\/p>\n<p>However, she could not predict this.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t that she hadn\u2019t suspected the reason for Sammy\u2019s sudden death, but that without any evidence, she could only accept the fact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-894","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/894","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=894"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
