âWell, even I couldnât do anything about Joseph. The Joseph family is a family of mystery.â
âCan you tell me what you know about the Joseph family?â asked Kathy.
She wanted to know more about the man she married.
âI donât know much, I got all my information from Lincoln. They started out in country C and practically monopolized the resources of that country. But they were very quiet about it and nobody knew about it. Lincoln told me that Joseph was fighting someone when he first saw Joseph.â
âHe was in a fight?â
Kathy was taken aback, she couldnât imagine the gentle and elegant Joseph wouldâve experienced something like that.
Sue nodded, âJoseph was only 12 back then, the person he was fighting in the hotel was his biological father. Lincoln was in the hotel at that time and that was how they got to know each other. In our impression, Joseph was always cold and merciless. I only realized how much he had changed when I came back here and saw him again.â
Kathy grimaced, she didnât dare to imagine the scene that Sue had just described to her. Why did Joseph do that?
Maybe because he was disappointed.
âI donât know much, maybe Iâll go talk gossip with Lincoln again when Iâm free. But maybe I donât have the chance anymore.â Sue let out a long sigh.
She had a very charming expression on her face whenever she mentioned Lincoln.
But at the same time, she looked very dejected.
âSue, I will accept everything if he tells me the truth. Only if he is willing to tell me the truth,â said Kathy in a soft voice.
Just when would he finally open up to her?
Suddenly, a group of more than ten men rushed into the shopping centre from outside, they looked like bodyguards. Sue looked down from the top floor, she was obviously flustered.
Those men were people working under her grandfather, what business would they possibly have here?
âKathy, letâs go that way.â Sue pulled Kathy and started running away.
Kathy looked behind and the men were chasing after them, she was shocked.
She followed Sue and ran through the top floor, there was another shopping centre on the opposite of the building.
But they couldnât make it in time.
The bodyguards were swift, Sue and Kathy were surrounded on the attic in no time.
âMiss, the master orders you to return immediately.â
Sue bit down hard on her lips, she was still looking for a way to escape.
But the only thing she could do right now was to jump off the building.
And she didnât have the guts.
âSue, who are these people?â asked Kathy worriedly.
âThey are my grandfatherâs men, the person who holds the power in the Fletcher family. Quick, contact Lincoln for me.â
She knew that there was no way that she could escape.
Kathy quickly pulled out her phone seeing Sue being taken away, but she then realized that she didnât have Lincolnâs number.
She needed to contact Joseph first.
Kathyâs hand trembled, they had not talked for a week.
But Sueâs safety was in question, she shouldnât hesitate.
The call went through, and Kathy could hear Josephâs voice.
âMrs. Joseph.â He sounded extremely tired.
Kathy felt her heart throbbed.
She knew that Joseph was a hard worker and he probably worked himself to death.
She wondered if he rested properly without her being by his side.
âI...I need to ask you something.â
âSay it.â He had expected this, Kathy wouldnât take the initiative to call him without a reason.
âI need Mr. Fletcherâs contact, Sue is taken away.â
Joseph frowned, âIâll let him know about this.â
âAlright.â
âAnything else?â asked Joseph.
âNo.â
âAre you outside?â asked Joseph as he heard loud noises.
âYeah.â
âIâll be back next week.â
âOkay.â
Joseph frowned again, did Kathy really have nothing to say to him?
âIâm going to hang up.â It was getting really awkward and Kathy quickly hung up the call.
...
At the airport.
There was a luxurious private plane parked yonder, the symbol of the Fletcherâs family on the plane was eye-catching.
Sue struggled along the way as her shoulders were held on tightly.
âLet go of me, I will walk on my own! Donât touch me!â
But the bodyguards turned a deaf ear. Sue was about to be brought onto the plane when she suddenly raised her leg as they were walking up the stairs and kicked the bodyguard as hard as she could. The bodyguard rolled off the stairs.
She immediately ran off the moment the bodyguard let go of her.
The other bodyguards quickly chase after her.
As Sue ran, she could see Lincoln from far away.
Tears started welling up in her eyes and she used up all her might to run towards him.
Lincoln glanced at the bodyguards who were about to catch up to them, he then hugged Sue tightly in his arms.
âI thought you donât care about me anymore.â Sue couldnât help it, her tears started rolling down her cheeks.
Lincoln smiled and he knocked the back of her head lightly, âI donât have the heart to do that.â
He glared at the bodyguards surrounding them after saying that, his expression darkened.
âLetâs go back together, okay?â he asked.
âGrandfather had arranged a marriage for me. Is it still possible for us to be together if I go back?â Sue dropped her gaze, she looked tremendously dejected.
âI wonât let you get married to anyone else but me, you can only marry me.â
âYou never proposed to me, I wonât say yes right now,â said Sue angrily.
Lincoln rubbed her nose lovingly, âI know, I will arrange it immediately.â
âYoung master, the master ordered Miss Sue to go back,â said the bodyguard, he was placed in a difficult position.
âI wonât allow her to return alone.â
âBut...â
âI havenât meet grandfather in a while, he must miss me dearly,â Lincoln snickered.
This reminded Sue of something, she quickly pulled Lincolnâs hand and said, âMaybe itâs better if I return alone. Lincoln, you should stay here.â
Everything would be unpredictable if they went to the Fletcherâs.
At least Lincoln would still have his freedom at City N.
âYou think Iâll listen to you?â said Lincoln coldly as he squinted his eyes.
He held her hand and walked into the plane with her.
The bodyguards reported to the Fletcherâs and the plane took off.
...
At night, Kathy was still worried about Sue. She decided to call Sue.
Nobody answered the phone. Sue only managed to call her back at midnight.
âKathy, donât worry. Iâm fine.â
âWhere are you?â
âIâm currently at BV City.â
âItâs most important that you are fine now.â
âLincoln accompanied me home, but we couldnât see each other. Itâs not that fine really.â Sue walked out to the balcony, she understood very well what her grandfather was planning to do.
She couldnât go anywhere, her movement was restricted.
Lincoln was treated the same way.
âIs there anything that I can help with?â asked Kathy sincerely.
âThank you, Kathy. I shouldâve come home earlier, I was having wild hopes.â
Her life belonged to the Fletcher family and that was why she never disobeyed their orders.
But now, she wanted to rebel.
It wasnât easy to fall in love with someone, she was like a moth to a flame.
âIâm really jealous of you and Joseph. Kathy, being together with someone I love, was something that never ever crossed my mind.â
Kathy grasped on to her phone, she could clearly feel how disheartened Sue was.

Kathy walked out to the balcony after hanging up the call. Their apartment that Joseph bought was on the top floor, the view was stunning and she could see the whole city.
But she was alone. She didnât feel anything even when looking at the beautiful view in front of her.
What Sue just said kept repeating in her head, someone you loved...
Her peculiar relationship with Joseph was never like that, but everyone thought of them as the loving and harmonious couple.
Even she sometimes felt that way, but it was just an illusion...
