I\u2019ve never lost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He believed it for sure because he grew up just like the son of God who was granted anything in the world.<\/p>\n<p>However, Bertie should meet some problem this time.<\/p>\n<p>He watched Kathy, which bothered Kathy a lot. It was already ten minutes since Billy left the room.<\/p>\n<p>Bertie also realized it and walked to the door that he found locked.<\/p>\n<p>There was a balcony without being covered by the curtain.<\/p>\n<p>He narrowed his eyes grimly and walked to look at the terrace on his opposite for a while. Then he said with a laugh, \u201cWe should have a trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy did not understand what Bertie was talking about, also looking at somewhere he watched. Now there was a flash from which she knew they were sneaked photos.<\/p>\n<p>Billy should leave both of them on purpose. Why did he intend to do it?<\/p>\n<p>Since he hoped Kathy could divorce with Joseph, today he might try to create a publicity stunt of Bertieand Kathy to make Joseph and her break up.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy would like to call Joseph, but failed for the poor coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Bertie stood with his hands in the pockets of trousers and looked too calm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTake it easy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy did not say anything, only badly worried. Joseph would be too anxious about her if he could not get any call from her for one night.<\/p>\n<p>She asked Bertie, \u201cWhy did Billy do that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By instinct, she thought he should know the reason.<\/p>\n<p>But Bertie answered, \u201cYou should know it better as his elder sister.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy denied it, \u201cNo, I don\u2019t care about his life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although it was true that Billy was her sibling, she was unwilling to be involved in anything about him.<\/p>\n<p>Bertie was doubted to ask, \u201cYou are not willing to be here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy kept silent to stop giving him more information.<\/p>\n<p>Bertie continued to say, \u201cSome reporters are waiting outside; we should be trending on the internet soon. Do you think whether they will give your name to the public?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy mumbled, \u201cI always get bad luck with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She should be in great trouble if reporters told her name later!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you kidding me? Kathy, I am helping you become well-known to all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am married; I don\u2019t ask for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cActually, nobody knows you married Joseph. His family is greatly prestigious, but you two married so quietly. Joseph is not important to his family? Or the family has never recognized you as his wife.\u201d Bertie tried to talk more.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked down; she understood how mysterious and powerful the Joseph\u2019s family was. Until this moment, she had not met anyone of the family except Joseph\u2019s grandfather.<\/p>\n<p>She was sure that Joseph played such a critical role in his family that he took over all the business of the Joseph\u2019s Group.<\/p>\n<p>So, it was because his family would not like to admit she was his wife?<\/p>\n<p>Was it the true reason?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, she would not believe anything Bertie said.<\/p>\n<p>Now Bertie\u2019s eyes turned bright and he went closer to say, \u201cIf I married you, we would have an amazing wedding ceremony to let everyone in the world know you are my wife and, I love you so much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy had to be alert to any word he talked about and pushed him away, \u201cMr. Bertie, stop please!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, she had never expected everyone in the world to know about her love and her life.<\/p>\n<p>Bertie asked, \u201cAll women like being treated in the way. Right?\u201d He touched his chin to show his great knowledge of women.<\/p>\n<p>John copied that; he was afraid Joseph was getting too mad to control himself.<\/p>\n<p>Now in the room, Bertie opened a bottle of wine and then passed one glass of wine to Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was more and more worried; she became irritated to say, \u201cBertie, we have to go out!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy? We have many things in the room. Let\u2019s enjoy tonight!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just now, Kathy heard someone walking on the corridor to the room. She was too happy about it.<\/p>\n<p>Then the door was opened by someone she knew so well.<\/p>\n<p>She rushed to run to Joseph but hided her face in his arms due to her feeling of shame at cheating him before.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph raised her face to check everything was well for her and said with relief, \u201cKathy, you make trouble again!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His words blamed Kathy, but more sounded loving her.<\/p>\n<p>Bertie put down the glass on the table and stepped to them slowly, \u201cYou two really love each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSure. Bertie, don\u2019t try to be the other man.\u201d Joseph cuddled Kathy to leave the room.<\/p>\n<p>The situation caused Bertie so fury to kick down the glasses.<\/p>\n<p>Billy walked into the room to see the mess and laughed at Bertie, \u201cFinally, you failed?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bertie asked, \u201cBilly, what are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He had never been deceived by others in the way!<\/p>\n<p>Billy said, \u201cNow all your family mistakes Kathy as Sue. If some good news about Kathy and you come to the public, your family should be very glad. Should you appreciate me for it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, Bertie did not think so. He said, \u201cKathy is Joseph\u2019s wife. I have to keep away from her!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Billy tried to persuade him, \u201cKathy is my sister; she will always support us. Mr. Bertie, you will get her as long as you win over Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bertie looked unhappy with his words..<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cI won\u2019t offend Joseph\u2019s family just for a woman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we cannot agree.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-923","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/923","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=923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
