Chapter 331 Always Protected


    “Stop it, brother. There’s nothing you can do about it!”


    “Go away, I’ll fix it,” said Joseph coldly.


    Veronica stood still as her tears fell.


    “Stop it, brother…”


    She couldn’t stop Joseph.


    Joseph found all the broken pieces and ced them back in ce half an hourter.


    Veronica sat in her wheelchair, she couldn’t understand Joseph’s behavior.


    Although the picture was restored it wasn’t perfect.


    “Don’t touch it,” said Joseph seriously as he ced the picture in a picture frame.


    His tone shocked Veronica.


    “Do you like her that much?”


    Joseph did not reply, but Veronica knew the answer as Joseph tried to restore the picture.


    At Joseph’s Group.


    Everyone in the building was anxious as there were three days left to the meeting of the shareholders.


    There were many rumors about Joseph’s Group as the stock price has dropped severely.


    Julian was rumored to rece Joseph and take over the Joseph’s Group.


    John reported to Joseph about the rumors but Joseph was not rmed.


    “How’s Kathy?”


    “She…Miss Kathy is busy recently, but she has taken part in the drug development between Ocean


    University and the Joseph’s Group.


    Joseph has approved it long ago.


    “Okay, make sure she’s under the protection and be aware of Julian.”


    …


    Kathy went to theb at the Joseph’s Group with two of her ssmates on the weekend.


    Joseph was there as well.


    He was in aboratory suit and wore a mask, but he was still recognizable.


    Kathy avoided making eye contact with him.


    There was an assistant to guide them and provide tasks. Mr. Watson had prepared homework for her


    too.


    “Come over here, Wendy,” said Joseph.


    The assistant brought the other students to anotherb so that Joseph could be alone with Kathy.


    “Mr. Joseph,” said Kathy.


    “Complete this experiment,” said Joseph as he gave Kathy some information on the experiment.


    It was an experiment to test a certain drug. The experiment could be carried out but it was difficult to


    complete.


    This was a challenge for Kathy.


    She looked at Joseph.

    He was focused on carrying out a different experiment.


    “What’s wrong?” asked Joseph.


    “What should I do?” asked Kathy.


    Joseph got near Kathy.


    Kathy pushed Joseph away as her ssmates were around the area.


    “Do you still want my help?” asked Joseph.


    “Don’t get so close to me,” said Kathy seriously.


    “He was doing it on purpose!” Kathy thought.


    The liquid on the table spilled as Joseph took a step back.


    Joseph was preventing the liquid from spilling.


    Kathy was stunned. “Clean up this ce.” Joseph frowned.


    As Kathy cleaned up the ce, she found out that Joseph hadpleted the experiment for her.


    She wanted to know more about the experiment.


    “Can you exin how this works, Mr. Joseph?” asked Kathy.


    Joseph exined to Kathy while carrying out another experiment.


    It was night when Kathy had finished her tasks.


    She looked around for Joseph but he wasn’t around.


    At the same time, her ssmates came out of anotherboratory with Joseph.


    They were asking Joseph about several experiments and reactions.


    Joseph was looking at Kathy as he exited theboratory.


    Kathy left in a hurry.


    While waiting for the elevator, she hoped that Joseph didn’te after her.


    She couldn’t stay calm when she was with Joseph.


    “Miss Kathy?” a familiar voice called as the door of the elevator opened.


    It was from Julian.


    “Hello,” said Kathy politely.


    “Are you here for the LD Project?”


    “I’m just a student. I just had the chance toe over to learn about the project,” said Kathy.


    “This hasn’t happened in Joseph’s Group in the past. It seems that you’re an exception because you’re


    Joseph''s ex-wife. I’m d that you know your status, you’re not qualified to join the Joseph’s Group


    yet,” said Julian ironically.


    “You’re overthinking, Mr. Julian, everyone has an opportunity for this at Ocean University.”


    “You’re just a newbie, the others are seniors that are graduating soon,” said Julian.


    “If you think that I’m not qualified to be here, you can report to Mr. Joseph.”


    “I can’t stop this if this is his doing,”ughed Julian.


    Kathy entered the elevator as the doors opened.


    As she returned to her school, Zofia Marshall invited Kathy to dinner.


    Kathy agreed to it but she didn’t expect Bertie Marshall to be there as well.


    “Is my presence bothering you?” said Bertie.


    “Yes,” said Kathy.


    She was good friends with Zofia but she hated Bertie.


    “It was my brother’s idea to do this,” said Zofia.


    “It’s okay,” smiled Kathy.


    Zofia left in a hurry moments after Kathy arrived.


    Kathy and Bertie were left alone.


    “Shall we pay Mrs Booth a visitter?” asked Bertie.


    Jennifer Booth didn’t want anyone to know about her condition, but Bertie thought that Kathy needs to


    know about it.


    “What happened to my mother?”


    “It’s the aftermath of the car ident.”


    “Why didn’t she tell me about this?”


    “She didn’t want to worry you,” said Bertie.


    “Let’s visit her now.”


    At the People’s Hospital.


    Jennifer Booth has been in the hospital for days before Kathy visited.


    Bertie waited for Kathy outside.


    “Mom,” said Kathy as she walked towards Jennifer.


    Jennifer had just taken her dinner.


    “Why didn’t you tell me about this?”
