But NCHV might fall apart,\u201d Joseph said in a deep voice.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was surprised. Looking at Joseph\u2019s cold face, she knew that he had already made up his mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHave you checked all those drugs?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph asked John to bring the drugs over. \u201cThey contain components that can damage the nerves and heart. For patients with heart failure, long-term consumption can lead to death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s face turned pale.<\/p>\n<p>Her hands trembled as she took the medicine. Her suspicion came true.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho could it be?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She murmured.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll go to the hospital first. Mrs. Hilton can\u2019t take any more of these.\u201d With that, Kathy walked out with her bag in hand.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph forcefully grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his embrace, sounding unhappy, \u201cKathy, you want to get your hands dirty with the Hilton\u2019s mess?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d She nodded without hesitation, \u201cJoseph, this is a matter of life and death!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph squinted dangerously, staring at her without blinking, anger surging in his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy could not understand him, but his indifference chilled her.<\/p>\n<p>She pushed him away. \u201cI\u2019ll be back later tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then she quickly left.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph looked at her back and the sinister look in his eyes became obvious.<\/p>\n<p>When John entered, he felt sick from the smell of smoke in the room.<\/p>\n<p>After all, Joseph rarely smoked, unless something was weighing on him.<\/p>\n<p>John was observant, realizing that his boss was in a bad mood.<\/p>\n<p>He braced himself, \u201cMr. Joseph, I\u2019ve found out everything about Jennifer\u2019s miscarriage 25 years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taking the files, Joseph scanned the content as his expression turned cold.<\/p>\n<p>After a while, the documents were shattered in his hands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho else knows about this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe medical staff in that operation room back then are no longer in City N. That leaves us only the clients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The clients&#8230;, Linda, and Angela.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Joseph, Billy is also investigating this,\u201d John said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know what to do. Don\u2019t let him find out anything,\u201d Joseph instructed him.<\/p>\n<p>In the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was walking slowing. She didn\u2019t know how to tell Jennifer about the medicine.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps she should first tell Billy about this and ask him to straighten it out.<\/p>\n<p>When she arrived at the ward, she found no one. After asking the nurse who was passing by, she found out that Jennifer had been discharged in the afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Frowning, she dialed Billy\u2019s number.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am Kathy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the first time you\u2019ve called me,\u201d Billy said mockingly.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy pursed her lips, somewhat surprised, too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to talk to you about Mrs. Hilton.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Half an hour later, they met at a coffee shop.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked out of the window, absent-minded. Thinking of Joseph\u2019s cold face, she knew that he wouldn\u2019t help her in this.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was cold toward the Hiltons.<\/p>\n<p>His helping her look into the medicine was something that happened once in a blue moon.<\/p>\n<p>Billy was late and sat down opposite Kathy. Looking at her calm face, he was getting less annoyed.<\/p>\n<p>His target was always the Joseph\u2019s Group, but Joseph was discreet, so he could only start with NCHV.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBilly, it is a herculean task to take down the Joseph\u2019s Group. With Joseph as its president, we need to plan thoroughly,\u201d Jennifer said in a deep voice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the Josephs are losing their patience,\u201d Billy said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph\u2019s weakness is Kathy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t touch her,\u201d Jennifer immediately retorted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, what is she to you?\u201d Billy asked coldly.<\/p>\n<p>Billy could tell that Jennifer was protecting Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not your business. I like that child very much. You can\u2019t hurt her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also like her. I want her to be your daughter-in-law.\u201d Billy smiled.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer panicked. She knew Billy had a crush on Kathy, but that wouldn\u2019t do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve set up a blind date for you and the Smith girl. Kathy is not the right one for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy? You like her, and I also like her. Isn\u2019t this perfect?\u201d Billy raised his eyebrows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe can\u2019t help you in your career. With this formidable opponent, the Josephs, you need someone who comes from a family as ours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, I don\u2019t need any help, and I won\u2019t fall for other women.\u201d Billy frowned.<\/p>\n<p>He had been losing control around Kathy. He wanted her!<\/p>\n<p>It could only be her.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer looked at her son\u2019s eyes and was shocked.<\/p>\n<p>She wanted to say something, but failed.<\/p>\n<p>She knew Billy. He had stronger desire for the seemingly impossible.<\/p>\n<p>He had been a tough kid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnyway, not Kathy. This ends now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Billy\u2019s face darkened and he stormed out. However, before closing the door, he reminded her, \u201cDon\u2019t take that medicine again. I\u2019ll go see the doctor with you tomorrow to find out about this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-895","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/895","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=895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
