It was your wish to attend graduate school\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy interrupted him, \u201cIndeed, it was my wish but the reality is like this so, I have accepted it. Don\u2019t act recklessly, Joseph. Please, I beg you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When she begged him like this, Joseph\u2019s heart softened.<\/p>\n<p>He hugged her tightly and said in a low voice, \u201cDon\u2019t give up, okay?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI checked the admission system. No professor is willing to accept me. I have decided to contact the professor myself.\u201d Kathy answered calmly.<\/p>\n<p>This was the last way she could think of.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI won\u2019t give up until the last moment. Joseph, thank you for always supporting me.\u201d Kathy looked at him with shining eyes.<\/p>\n<p>His support was her motivation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut Ocean University and Boston University are similar. Do you know that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Joseph had known this before and had told her, then maybe she would have considered to not apply for admission in Ocean University.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I warned you to not apply for the exam at that time. But you are too stubborn to listen to what I say.\u201d Joseph narrowed his eyes at her.<\/p>\n<p>However, afterwards he did not want to interfere with her decision.<\/p>\n<p>Even if she really ended up backing out, he was there to help her.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Joseph went for a meeting and Kathy waited in the office.<\/p>\n<p>Near the evening, the receptionist from the first floor called saying Edith wanted to come up to meet Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as Joseph came out of the meeting, John immediately reported to him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTell her to go back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John passed on the order truthfully. However, when Joseph was leaving Joseph Group, Edith was still waiting.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s face sank when she saw her.<\/p>\n<p>Her guard had been up since a long time for this woman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, do you really want to terminate the contract?\u201d Edith stood in front of Joseph, with her eyes only on him.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was consistently indifferent, \u201cThe agreement is written very clearly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t agree. Only you and I can develop this kind of medicine!\u201d Edith\u2019s voice sank.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEdith, you overestimate yourself too much.\u201d Joseph\u2019s face remained expressionless.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, you know that I was only helping you. I did nothing wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I did something wrong. I shouldn\u2019t have worked together with you.\u201d Joseph\u2019s expressions became colder.<\/p>\n<p>Edith was stunned by his words. Joseph, always high above everyone else, had never once in his life admitted his mistake.<\/p>\n<p>But now he actually admitted it.<\/p>\n<p>Just because she harmed Kathy?<\/p>\n<p>Did he really believe in Kathy this much?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou didn\u2019t do anything wrong, she did!\u201d Edith indignantly blamed Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy snorted coldly, \u201cMs. Edith, your acting skills are excellent!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEdith, my patience is running out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph ordered the security guard, \u201cKick Ms. Edith out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Edith\u2019s eyes widened as the security guards approached her. She pushed them away in panic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, I can go by myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the gate, Connor\u2019s car was parked outside.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Edith\u2019s figure, he knitted his thin eyebrows together in a frown.<\/p>\n<p>He waited until Edith got into the car, then asked, \u201cWill you come back with me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Edith looked down; all her calmness had crumbled down in front of Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Back at Joseph Bay, Kathy received a call from Jennifer.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing that Kathy was made to withdraw from the admission, she asked with concern, \u201cDo you want me to recommend you to other schools?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She still had many connections in City N and the Hilton family can also help her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo need, Mom. I can handle this by myself. If I really can\u2019t get an admission then I will work. I have already made preparations for that.\u201d Kathy said.<\/p>\n<p>She was treating the entrance exam as normally as she could. If she passed the exam then great, if not then\u2026 she was just going to go the other way.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy said in distress, \u201cGrandpa, don\u2019t worry about the wedding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s my granddaughter\u2019s wedding, I must pay attention to it. You help me go to the garden to look around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unable to persuade him otherwise, Kathy helped Zack walk all the way out into the garden. However, here she saw the figure of someone she did not want to see.<\/p>\n<p>With a smile on his face, Billy turned his head towards them, \u201cGrandpa, are you feeling well these days?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am feeling great!\u201d Zack said, trying to act brave. However, Billy had already figured out the state of his health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandpa, since you are in poor health, you should rest well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s none of your business.\u201d Zack said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t like Billy at all.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy remembered Jennifer\u2019s words that Billy was not her biological child.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandpa, I just care about you.\u201d Billy approached, supporting Zack with Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>Zack didn\u2019t have enough strength to push him away.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the whole garden decorated with romantic white color, Zack said with satisfaction, \u201cStill need to build a high balcony. I want everyone to only be able to look at my granddaughter when she walks down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSure, Grandpa. Whatever you like.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The staff who followed them recorded Zack\u2019s idea.<\/p>\n<p>After walking around, Zack was tired. The butler helped him back to his room.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy stayed in the garden, inspecting.<\/p>\n<p>Billy approached her, \u201cLooks like you really want to have this wedding with Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy paused for a bit before she smiled and answered, \u201cIsn\u2019t that normal?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLooks like you always forget my words.\u201d Billy narrowed his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBilly, whether your words are true or not, it still remains to be determined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou being a member of the Booth family, you really think Joseph didn\u2019t know since the beginning?\u201d Billy said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned. At the time she became to know her life\u2019s experience, Joseph once said that he also had it investigated.<\/p>\n<p>However, he only told her after she already knew it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-933","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/933","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=933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
