Chapter 69 I am Married


    At Herbert’s house, Peter’s face darkened when he listened to thewyer’s words.


    Apologized publicly?


    It wasn’t just humiliating him but also disgraced the Herbert’s family.


    “Peter Champs, settle your own mess, don’t involve the Herbert’s family!” Kingston shouted.


    Herbert tried to calm her father and led him to go upstairs. When she came down, she saw Peter


    smoking.


    “It took me a hard time to change my father’s view on you, but now it is now back to square.” Herbert


    frowned.


    Peter had just openly used Kathy, but now he was forced to apologize to her.


    “Many shareholders haveinedtely too, Peter, figure it out yourself.”


    “I’m sorry, Herbert.”Peter held Herbert’s hand, his eyebrows knitted.


    If he didn’t ept Kathy’s conditions, Sammy would be sued and might have to go to jail.


    However, he had made his decision.


    Two dayster, Peter gave his reply, he rejected Kathy’s conditions.


    “So now we have to proceed with the legal action?” Kathy asked thewyer.


    “Yes. Mr. Peter replied that he is after all a well-known person, it is impossible for him to apologize


    publicly, and also thepensation amount is way too much.”Thewyer ryed Peter’s message


    frankly.


    Kathy’s eyebrows twitched, his own reputation and money were already more important than his own


    family from the bottom of his heart.


    “Then let’s deal it legally.”


    At noon, Kathy apanied Joseph to the hospital for a follow-up visit.


    Lily disguised as a nurse when she knew that Joseph woulde to the hospital.


    After done changing his bandage, Joseph bumped into Lily who was blocking his way, his eyebrows


    slightly wrinkled.


    “Lily Smith.” Joseph’s tone was extremely cold, Lily trembled out of fear.


    “Dr Joseph, I am just too worried about you. You don’t let me toe to the hospital. I can only


    disguise and sneak in.” Lily gave her a pity look.


    But Joseph wasn’t moved at all.


    “What happened to your hand? How did you get hurt? Is it serious?” Lily asked him anxiously and was


    about to grab his hand.


    Joseph blocked her with an expressionless face and didn’t answer her.


    Lily was frustrated, she just didn’t want to take it this way although Joseph was mean to her.


    The scene of Lily standing behind Joseph, disguising as a nurse but with a crying face was seen by


    Kathy who came over after getting his prescription.


    “Shouldn’t you look after of your patient?” Kathy asked.


    “She is not my patient now.” Joseph said with a deep voice.


    “Dr Joseph, can you attend my 20th birthday dinner in next month?” Lily ran over and handed Joseph


    an invitation card.


    Joseph didn’t take it, Lily diverted her target to Kathy,” Kathy, pleasee with Dr Joseph.”


    “This is up to Dr Joseph.”


    “I’m not going.” Joseph rejected her straight away and left the hospital with Kathy.


    Lily sulked, she ran over and shoved the invitation card into Kathy’s arms, winking at her, “Sis, please


    don’t stand me up yea!”


    Kathy was speechless.


    Sitting in the car, Kathy looked at the invitation card, it was hand-made by Lily. She thought that Lily


    only invited Joseph, but her name was written on it as well.


    It looked like Lily had put a lot of effort on it.


    “Really not going?” Kathy asked.


    She was kind of pity of the young Lily who was hurt by Joseph over and over.


    Moreover, Joseph and Lily might be a good match.


    But why did she seem a little reluctant.


    “Do you wish me to go?” Joseph turned to her, his eyes were dark and deep.


    “Maybe you can try to go out with her.” Kathy said in a faint voice.


    “I’m married.” Joseph’s voice grew colder.


    “Not like it is a real marriage.” Kathy murmured and not dare to continue her words anymore.


    Joseph took the invitation card, “Since Mrs Joseph wants to go, I’ll apany you.”


    At night, Kathy saw Billy’s message. They supposed to have dinner together tomorrow night but Billy


    was still on his business trip, so they had to postpone it again.


    Kathy would have forgotten about it if it wasn’t Billy’s reminder.


    Joseph came out from the bathroom, and for some reason, Kathy suddenly felt guilty and


    subconsciously put away her phone after replying Billy’s message.


    Her reaction were noticed by Joseph.


    He squinted his eyes, leaned towards Kathy, his wet hair was still dripping. It was very seductive.


    Kathy couldn’t help but licked her lips.


    “…What’s up…” Kathy was nervous and she didn’t dare to look at Joseph.


    “Who are you texting with?” Joseph asked.


    “Alexia.” Kathy didn’t look at him.


    “What is it about?”


    “It’s about…” Kathy came back to sense and looked at him, “It’s better for you to not know about the


    girls’ gossip!”


    “Better be.” Joseph’ voice sank.


    Kathy sensed that Joseph was angry.


    But she didn’t know the reason.


    The next day, Kathy received a call from HR department, asking her toe over to thepany to


    record her testimony.


    Ten days had passed since her suspension, the preliminary result of the investigation hade out.


    Kathy’sputer had been hacked and the documents were stolen, but that alone was not enough to


    prove that she didn’t leak thepany secrets.


    “Kathy, Joanne has promoted as the President’s secretary!” Alexia was waiting for Kathy outside and


    updated her about thepany recent events.


    “So Johnson trusts her?” Kathy frowned.


    “It seems so, they’ve been tagging alongtely…” As soon as Alexia finished her sentence, Joanne


    walked in with Johnson.


    “Johnson must be blind to be fooled by that woman.” Alexia’s tone went cold.

    Kathy noticed that Alexia was unusual as she wasn’t the type who got irritated easily, unless it was


    someone… she cared about.


    “Are you jealous?” Kathy suddenlyughed out.


    It wouldn’t be strange that Alexia was into Johnson as she had been single for quite some time.


    “I didn’t! Kathy, what heck are you talking about!” Alexia refuted immediately, but her face were


    blushed.


    Johnson saw Kathy and walked towards her.


    “Kathy,e with me to a dinner party tonight.”


    “But, aren’t I still under suspension?” Kathy was confused.


    “But you are not yet resigned, aren’t you?” Johnson said in a deep voice.


    There’s no way Kathy could reject since it was instructed by her superior.


    Alexia kept holding onto Kathy’s arm, ring at Johnson indignantly, but it was simply ignored by


    Johnson.


    “Kathy’s can’t drink, I’m going to.” Alexia suddenly said.


    Upon hearing that, Johnson paused and looked at Alexia with an inscrutable gaze.


    He nodded after a while.


    When they entered the elevator, Joanne couldn’t help but speak, “Mr Johnson, what kind of dinner


    party is it tonight? Why did you need to bring Kathy and Alexia along?”


    “You talk too much.” Johnson answered coldly.


    Joanne didn’t dare to make a sound, yet she was perturbed.


    In the evening, Kathy and Alexia came to a clubhouse together with Johnson. Smell of smoke and


    alcohol lingered in the air, Kathy was a little ufortable.


    She usually didn’t need to socialize, and this was her first time here.


    On the other hand, Alexia was at ease, she pulled along Kathy and kept ring at Joanne who was


    beside Johnson.


    Kathy was stiffened when she walked into the private room. She didn’t expect that Joseph would be


    there as well.
