When they reached the doorway at the hotel, Kathy said to the man beside her, âThank you.â
Reece nodded indifferently. When he raised his vision, he immediately met with a sharp gaze.
Joseph was staring at him coldly from a distance away.
Curling his lips slightly, Reece asked Kathy, âDo you want me to send you back?â
âItâs okay, Iâve already gave you a lot of trouble today,â Kathy replied.
With that said, she quickly headed for the door. However, a familiar figure emerged in front of her.
Black suit, white shirt, and the aloof good-looking features.
He was standing in her way.
Why... why was he here?
Thousands of thoughts ran through Kathyâs mind in that instant, and one stood out particularly- he didnât marry Ella.
But she just couldnât believe it.
She said in an indifferent tone, âCan you let me through?â
Joseph frowned and didnât move an inch.
His expression in his eyes gradually darkened.
His menacing aura trembled Kathy.
âJoseph,â she said in a colder tone.
Their interaction attracted some passers-byâs attention.
âHmm.â After a short while, he slowly moved towards the car at the door, which had been long waiting for him.
As she watched him left, Kathy felt Joseph was so lonely at that moment.
But how was that possible.
Wasnât he supposed to be with Ella right now?
Why was he leaving by himself...?
Kathy looked at him leaving in a daze until he was out of her sight.
Dylan walked up to her and asked, âArenât you going in?â
Kathy finally came back to her senses. But she didnât reply.
She walked towards the bus station which was at the other side of the road.
Dylan followed her to the bus station.
âAre you going back to the school?â he asked.
Kathy nodded, her mind was filled with the scene of Joseph leaving. She murmured, âHow was the wedding?â
âNot good. The bride was taken away by someone else,â Dylan replied.
Kathy frowned and turned around. âAre you kidding me?â
âItâs up to you to believe what I just said,â he said.
No more words were exchanged after that. After a while, the bus arrived. Dylan followed her onto the bus.
When they reached the school, Kathy finally said, âStop following me around, Dylan.â
âAll right, Iâll leave you here. But I havenât got your WeChat yet.â He handed her his phone.
âIâm not interested in you,â Kathy said coldly.
Dylan grabbed hold of her wrist when she was about to get off the bus. âIâm not interested in you too, Kathy. What we are having is just a commercial marriage for the sake of our family.â
Kathy was repellent. She didnât want the marriage even if it was what Jennifer demanded.
She yanked her hand out of his grip and left.
...
At the Joseph familyâs mansion.
Veronica didnât attend the wedding. She got a phone call from her brother before she left the house and had been waiting for him there.
They had been keeping this wedding at such a low profile that no media or news reported was aware of it. Thus, Veronica had no idea what was going on.
When she saw her brother came back, he was still in a suit, noble as always, butElla was not at his side.
And he wasnât supposed to be coming back home alone.
âJoseph, whatâs going on?â she asked.
âThe wedding has been canceled.â Josephâs expression was aloof as always.
Veronica was stunned and stared at Joseph blankly. There was nothing but exhaustion in his eyes.
âYou had known this all along,â Veronica accused.
Joseph didnât reply her and went upstairs.
Veronica looked at Josephâs back and recalled how he had asked her to get close to Ella to gather intelligence about the Bridges family. He must have been planning something since then.
She had known it was impossible for Joseph to marry another woman when he was so dedicated to Kathy.
Thinking of this, Veronica had mixed feelings in her heart. Apparently, Kathy had always been the only person her brother cared about.
...
Back at the dorm.
Zofia wasnât at the dorm. Kathy went to her bed right away when she got back to her room. She didnât wake up until late in the evening.
Zofia got back early because she was worried about Kathy who wasnât answering her call.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Kathy sitting at her desk.
âKathy, why didnât you answer my call? I was so worried about you,â she said.
Only then did Kathy rummage through her bag and took out her phone.
âSorry, I silent my phone,â Kathy replied.
âWhere had you been today?â Zofia asked casually.
She knew it was Josephâs wedding that day. But since she had class and she wasnât really interested anyway, she didnât attend it.
However, she knew how Kathy must have felt with the wedding.
Kathy was probably having a bad day.
âI went to the hotel,â Kathy answered.
âYou went to the wedding?â Zofia was a bit surprised.
âBut it seems... the wedding was canceled halfway,â Kathy added.
Zofia stunned and looked at Kathyâs calm expression. There was a moment of silence.
It was cancelled?
Zofia couldnât help but think Kathy was the reason behind the cancellation.
âWhat happened?â Zofia was confused.
âIâm not quite sure. But I donât want to care about anything regarding Joseph,â Kathy said.
That sentence sounded more like a reminder to herself rather than a reply to Zofia.
Zofia actually asked Veronica about this. But all she knew was that Ella got taken away halfway through the wedding. But what really happened remained an unknown.
Furthermore, the families involved must have taken action to prevent any news regarding the wedding from leaking.
Shortly after the event, it was the final exam period for the semester. Kathy immersed herself in her revision and didnât meet Joseph even once until the exams were over.
That man seemed to be completely disappeared from her life.
After taking the last exam, her course mates were busy planning for a course trip, but Kathy got a message notified her to join the R&D in Josephâs Group during the holidays.
It wasnât a mandatory commitment but an optional one, since it was during the semester break.
But she seemed to not have any plans for her holiday.
And she found out the other two students who participated in the R&D alongside her had decided to join during the semester break.
As for her...
Kathy didnât make the decision and stayed in school for a few days after the semester break started. She only left the dorm when Jennifer asked her to go over for dinner.
Zofia left for home as soon as the holiday started. It was quiet in the campus.
Kathyâs gaze fell on the podium when she passed by the classroom.
The scene of Joseph giving lecture emerged in her mind. He was a strict but kind-hearted lecturer.
He always managed to handle his role as a lecturer well.
Soon enough, that vague image faded from her mind. When Kathy came back to her senses and turned to leave, her eyes met a familiar gaze.
It had been half a month since the last time they met.
It felt like ages ago.
The same white shirt and black slack, his tall figure looked elegant under the sunlight.
He didnât stop to look at Kathy. He simply moved pass her and left.
Kathy could only look at him leaving.

She bit her lips hard, trying to hold back the enormous emotion of despair that had just struck her.
She had really missed him.
