Kathy went back to her room after she had dinner with Jennifer. She was still not used to staying here. After all, there was someone else that she didnât wish to see.
After she showered, someone knocked on the door and Kathy peeked to see who it was and it was Billy.
âWhatâs the matter?â She asked coldly.
âThe servant made some desserts.â
âIâm not hungry.â
âThen come out for a chat anyway.â Billy frowned.
âIâm going to bed, Mr. Hilton.â She shut and locked the door after she said.
Billy was outside and looked at the time, it was barely ten oâclock...
But Kathy naturally couldnât sleep as it was still early. She read a book but her head was still thinking about what Herbert said just now.
Even if the financial situation of the Josephâs Group wasnât healthy now, by selling the rights to their bestselling medicine, wouldnât it put itself in a more precarious predicament?
She opened the news homepage and looked at the latest news regarding the Josephâs Group. The reputation of the Josephâs Group had been severely affected by the arrest of Macie. Today, a reporter came to interview Diego. Not only did he not defend Macie, but he confirmed her guilt, causing the Josephâs Groupâs reputation to be affected even more.
Kathy didnât have a good impression of Diego. Furthermore, Joseph didnât seem to regard him as his father.
She couldnât understand the complexity of the Joseph family.
...
At the Joseph residence.
Veronica was having dinner with his mother.
âMom, surely you didnât eat well in the police station,â Veronica said with tears welling in her eyes.
Macie was very calm, âJoseph had made arrangements and I didnât have a difficult time in there.â
âMom...â Veronica sobbed.
She couldnât remain calm when she thought about Sammyâs court case next week and the chances of her mother getting sentenced were very high.
âWhy are you crying? I donât regret my actions but I didnât expect Diego to find out about this.â Macie said solemnly.
The original clues that were linked to this case had been disproved but Diego was still able to find new clues. His influence in City N was indeed remarkable.
âYou shouldnât have taken revenge for me, Mom. Although I canât forget that incident, I certainly donât wish that it ended up like this.â The person getting punished shouldnât be her mother!
âNow that Sammy is dead and Peter is in prison, the only person remaining scot-free is Billy. Mom can only help you to this extent. I wonât let my daughter suffer injustice...â Macie murmured.
Ever since Veronicaâs incident, she had thought about exacting revenge every day. How could she suffer such injustice as an eighteen-year-old girl?
Veronica had been receiving psychiatric treatment and she had isolated herself all these years.
But she had never given up the chance to eradicate Billy and all those who were involved in that incident!
âBut Mom, how can I be at peace when you are in prison. Iâll get brother to think of something.â Veronica shook her head. She must not let her mother be sentenced.
âThis time Diego wants me to be imprisoned. Then he can marry Nell, Veronica, I will definitely be sentenced and I am mentally prepared for it. I only didnât expect Diego to do this for the sake of that woman.â Macie was absolutely disheartened.
After all, they had once been deeply in love and that it could come to this extent now.
âHe is a scoundrel. He doesnât have any status in the Joseph household. Grandfather also doesnât want to see him. Grandfather will not let him marry Nell. If he dared to, then Iâll immediately kick up a fuss!â Veronica said furiously.
âDonât make matters worse. Stay by your brotherâs side and he will protect you. Donât get involved in the other family matters.â Macie said sternly.
She didnât want Veronica to be involved in the conflict between the Joseph family brothers.
âI always listen to brother but why isnât he back yet?â Veronica realized that he was the one who picked mom up but she was the only one who came back.
âLooked like Joseph left with another woman. Was that his ex-wife?â
Although Macie had been overseas for many years, she always stays abreast with the matters of the Joseph family.
She knew all about Josephâs marriage and divorce.
âKathy?â Veronica became angry when this woman was mentioned.
âA spell had been cast on brother. That woman is Billyâs sister!â
âReally?â Macie frowned.
âYes, her mother is Jennifer and Jennifer had married into the Hilton family sometime back.â
âI think that Joseph will know what to do. Arenât they divorced now?â
âBut now that you mentioned this, I feel that brother still misses that woman,â Veronica said unhappily.
âDonât be upset anymore. Iâm sure Billy will soon pay dearly for what he had done.â
She knew that Joseph had started his moves.
...
Joseph came back only in the early morning and Julian was sitting in the living hall, clearly waiting for him.
âJoseph, do you know what you are doing?â Julian said with reproach.
âIf you are referring to work, then I donât wish to discuss it at home.â Joseph didnât wish to respond to him.
But Julian blocked him, âYou are hollowing out the Josephâs Group! You are fully aware that the Josephâs Group is in a dicey state. Are you crazy to sell away our best-selling drug at such a low price?â
âIâm crazy?â Joseph narrowed his eyes, âEven if Iâm crazy, can you stop me? Iâm the only person who can decide for the Josephâs Group.â
Julian was stunned when he heard this. Indeed, Joseph was the one making decisions for the Josephâs Group.
âThen Iâll see how you resolve this situation!â
Veronica was hiding behind the staircase and looked at her brother worriedly. When he went up, she quickly went to his side, âBrother, what are you thinking of? Iâm also struggling to understand.â
Everyone could see that this best-selling drug was the Josephâs Groupâs saving grace.
Joseph stopped and lovingly patted Veronica on her shoulders, âVeronica, you must set your sights further, do you understand?â
Veronica still couldnât understand and gave up thinking about it.
âAre the lawyers ready for the court hearing next week?â She asked.
Joseph nodded and frowned.
...
Sammyâs case will be heard in court a week later and Kathy was one of the witnesses and will also appear in court.
The black Maybach had already stopped below the dormitory. Kathy frowned and did not get into the car.
She walked as Joseph drove slowly beside her, attracting a lot of the surrounding attention.
Not wanting more attention, Kathy took a deep breath and opened the front passenger door angrily.
âJoseph, why did you come?â
âTo pick you up,â Joseph simply said.
Kathy realized that Sammyâs case involved the Joseph family and he had to attend as well.
âYou donât have to come specially to pick me up.â She said.
âItâs on the way.â
Kathy frowned. The Joseph residence and Ocean University were on either side of the city.
When she got into the car, Joseph pointed to the compartment.
âHave your breakfast.â He said.

Kathy saw that there were a sandwich and a packet of milk in the compartment.
She hadnât eaten her breakfast and had planned to buy from the canteen.
âThanks.â She said softly as she felt a warm sensation through her heart.
