She just wanted to go out for a walk.<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t want to doubt Joseph, but some facts made her suspicious about him.<\/p>\n<p>She came into a bar and seated herself. It was already late at night and a singer was performing on stage.<\/p>\n<p>She ordered a glass of non-alcoholic wine, but in the next moment, a familiar voice sounded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChange her drink to the Long Island Iced Tea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Billy sat opposite Kathy and smiled, \u201cSince you came here, you should drink wine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also ordered wine.\u201d Kathy frowned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince you have worries, drinking alcohol will make you feel much better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy remained silent. In fact, she also wanted to use alcohol to slightly anesthetize herself.<\/p>\n<p>In that case, maybe she could pretend to be ignorant of some things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t worry. If you get drunk, I\u2019ll send you back. You won\u2019t encounter any danger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you think I\u2019ll believe you?\u201d Kathy said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>She never let her guard down in front of Billy.<\/p>\n<p>Even though she knew that he might be her relative, she couldn\u2019t change her attitude towards him so quickly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you don\u2019t believe me, do you believe in Joseph?\u201d Billy asked bluntly.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s expression changed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now, the only one who can affect your mood is him. Can you tell me what happened?\u201d Billy asked with concern.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned and did not speak for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I told you is correct,\u201d said Billy.<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cDo you still believe him? Herbert has already been released from prison, and Joseph has been very close to the Herberts recently,\u201d Billy said in a deep voice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBilly, can you tell me why he did this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know why.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then he continued, \u201cI did everything for your own good, Kathy. His purpose in marrying you is not simple. Perhaps he has already known your identity, so he married you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy clenched her fists tightly. During this period of time, she had also thought of this possibility.<\/p>\n<p>However, when faced with Joseph, she subconsciously believed him.<\/p>\n<p>She was firmly convinced that he was not that kind of person.<\/p>\n<p>However, it was indeed too strange for him to offer to marry her back then.<\/p>\n<p>The Josephs were prominent, and her social status was way different from his. How could he choose her as a marriage partner?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s time for me to go back.\u201d Kathy did not drink any wine.<\/p>\n<p>She was afraid that if she got drunk, Billy would do something bad to her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStay with me for a while.\u201d Billy grabbed her arm.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned. A glint of resistance appeared on her face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are my sister, so we are relatives. Kathy, you must believe me.\u201d Billy\u2019s tone was aggressive.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy pursed her lips and looked at the man in front of her. The word \u201crelative\u201d was very unfamiliar to her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBilly, that\u2019s enough.\u201d Kathy pushed him away.<\/p>\n<p>After she left the bar, Billy continued to follow her. \u201cI\u2019ll send you back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDid Joseph bully you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. Don\u2019t talk nonsense. Stay away from me!\u201d Kathy glared at him angrily.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, she just wanted to be alone.<\/p>\n<p>Pursing his lips, Billy continued walking behind Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>He was trying his best to restrain himself from loving her. But sometimes, he just couldn\u2019t control his feelings.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy did not know where to go. She got into a taxi and thought for a moment. Then she decided to return to the AN Road Community.<\/p>\n<p>Although her mother had moved away, that place had always been her home.<\/p>\n<p>After walking into the old neighborhood, she returned to her mom\u2019s house. Although the lights weren\u2019t on, she could still feel that there was someone inside!<\/p>\n<p>She kicked him hard, and when Joseph was distracted, she slapped him in the face.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s face turned pale. Panting heavily, she pushed him away and ran out.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph quickly pulled her back and held her in his arms. Pressing her head, he asked, \u201cTell me, why did you resist me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy bit her lips and looked up at Joseph. Wearing a disappointed look, she said word by word, \u201cWhat is your relationship with Herbert?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph pursed his thin lips and did not answer.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s heart sank within her.<\/p>\n<p>What else could she expect from him?<\/p>\n<p>She wanted an explanation, but he didn\u2019t give her one.<\/p>\n<p>He had always been lying to her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, fuck off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy had never been so angry, because the man in front of her was the person she had always believed in.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph pressed her on the shoulder. With a grim look, he said, \u201cFollow me back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI won\u2019t go back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not up to you, Kathy. Don\u2019t lose your temper with me.\u201d Joseph narrowed his eyes, grabbed her wrist and wanted to take her away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not losing my temper. Joseph, you\u2019ve been lying to me all the time. Why did you help Herbert get off the hook? Why?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph did not answer. He took her all the way out. Then they saw Billy standing at the top of the stairs.<\/p>\n<p>He had followed Kathy to the apartment. When seeing that Kathy was pulled by Joseph, he glowered at him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, let go of Kathy.\u201d Billy stopped him.<\/p>\n<p>Ignoring Billy, Joseph was about to walk away with Kathy in his arms.<\/p>\n<p>But this time, Kathy extended her hand towards Billy.<\/p>\n<p>She looked at Joseph indifferently. \u201cI won\u2019t go back. Don\u2019t force me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Force?<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was burning with rage. When he saw Kathy and Billy holding their hands, his eyes narrowed menacingly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKathy, what are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-905","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/905","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=905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
