If there is no unforeseen mishap then I don\u2019t plan to return.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright, go and take Sue with you.\u201d Joseph\u2019s tone of voice made him seem very resentful.<\/p>\n<p>Lincoln naturally knew why Joseph was being like this.<\/p>\n<p>Sue had been misleading Bertie into thinking that his fianc\u00e9e was Kathy, and this was something that Joseph had consented to, however rather reluctantly.<\/p>\n<p>This was to not only leave and keep away from the Fletcher family in the future but to also for at least a short period of time not attract the attention of the Marshall family.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore Bertie currently thinks that Kathy is Sue, which will in turn make Sue\u2019s departure run a lot more smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRelax, any woman that has feelings for you will definitely never develop any interest in someone like Bertie, I believe in my sister-in-law.\u201d Lincoln assured him.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph hung up the phone rather blankly and then went over to the bedroom only to discover that Kathy was not there.<\/p>\n<p>He looked at his mobile phone and saw an unread message.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, I\u2019ve gone out for a little while, I promise to come back soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The man\u2019s face darkened and he immediately shouted to John, \u201cI want my wife\u2019s whereabouts!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the Hill club.<\/p>\n<p>The moment that Sue arrived, Lincoln\u2019s car had just stopped behind her at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>He then quickly went over to her, grabbed her and said, \u201cSue, what do you want to do!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to explain clearly to Bertie that he is not to bother Kathy anymore!\u201d Sue said rather stubbornly.<\/p>\n<p>From the start she had chosen to believe what Lincoln said to her, which had now made the situation Kathy was in so awkward.<\/p>\n<p>She regretted it.<\/p>\n<p>She really wanted to be together with Lincoln, however when she fell in love with him she had to mentally prepare herself long before. However, this path was perhaps becoming too difficult to continue, and one day she may have no choice but to give up in the end.<\/p>\n<p>She was able to accept any outcome.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are at your safest now because Bertie is willing to pursue Kathy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lincoln only had eyes for Sue.<\/p>\n<p>He absolutely must leave together safely with her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLincoln, we can\u2019t be so selfish. Kathy was willing to help me but I don\u2019t want to cause her any harm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph and her are doing very well together, what kind of trouble do you think that Bertie will really be able to cause?\u201d Lincoln narrowed his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Sue was quiet, since she too was thinking this way.<\/p>\n<p>However she still felt uneasy inside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome back with me, if you choose to reveal everything now then it won\u2019t be so easy to leave tomorrow.\u201d Lincoln said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>The man pulled at Sue rather strongly to sit in the car, and over at the entrance Kathy had already gone inside.<\/p>\n<p>She dialed Sue\u2019s phone number.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve arrived, have you seen Bertie yet, where are you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A soon as the voice fell, Lincoln immediately snatched Sue\u2019s phone and turned it off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sue stared at him angrily.<\/p>\n<p>However the man just stepped hard on the accelerator pedal and the car quickly sped away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiss, who are you looking for?\u201d An attendant took the initiative to ask Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry I already checked, but we have no guest here tonight under the name of Sue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned, and once again dialed Sue\u2019s phone number; however it appeared that her phone was turned off.<\/p>\n<p>She then clicked on the text message that Sue had sent her half an hour ago that said &#8212; Bertie is at the Hill Club, let\u2019s go to explain everything to him.<\/p>\n<p>This was definitely the right location.<\/p>\n<p>However since Kathy was unable to contact Sue, and she didn\u2019t want to approach Bertie alone, she decided to leave the club.<\/p>\n<p>However she hadn\u2019t even gotten inside the elevator yet when she saw the figure of someone she really didn\u2019t want to see.<\/p>\n<p>Even during the day time Bertie was still wearing full black attire, which suddenly made her surroundings bitterly cold.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was stuck to the wall with no way to escape.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo here is my dear fianc\u00e9e,\u201d Bertie approached her smiling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not your fianc\u00e9e!\u201d Kathy rolled her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>However Bertie was finding this all too amusing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t be angry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned, it was clear that he wasn\u2019t just angry.<\/p>\n<p>It was evident that he was extremely furious!<\/p>\n<p>However, she then thought of another serious matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t been able to get in contact with Sue, do you know if something happened to her?\u201d Kathy asked worriedly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is doing very well; don\u2019t you know that you were just being used?\u201d Joseph pressed his lips together thinly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSue and Lincoln will be leaving for Europe very soon and won\u2019t be coming back.\u201d Joseph said rather solemnly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy so anxious to leave?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou were the only one kept in the dark about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So it turned out that Bertie mistook her as Sue because someone had misled him before.<\/p>\n<p>And this person was Sue?<\/p>\n<p>Right now to say she was not angry was an understatement.<\/p>\n<p>She could admit that she was willing to help her, however if this was really the case, then it made sense that Joseph would not agree to this.<\/p>\n<p>And now even she didn\u2019t want to get involved with this matter.<\/p>\n<p>On the second floor, Bertie\u2019s gaze fell onto the entrance of the club through the floor-to-ceiling windows.<\/p>\n<p>The cigarette in his hand burned, and his dark eyes narrowed.<\/p>\n<p>He never would have thought that this woman was married to Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>His thin lips gradually displayed a rather evil smile.<\/p>\n<p>This was very interesting.<\/p>\n<p>In the car, Kathy was feeling extremely downcast.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I already said to you long ago that you should not interfere with this matter.&#8221; Joseph\u2019s face was very gloomy.<\/p>\n<p>With Bertie\u2019s temperament how was she so willing to let herself be deceived?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the end Sue being able to leave smoothly is a good thing. Bertie knows who I am now and therefore will not try to pester me again.\u201d Kathy looked at him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-918","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/918","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=918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
