Chapter 408 Please Keep Your Hands to Yourself, Mr. Joseph


    She bit her lip and mustered her courage; inside the office, Kathy saw a bear-shaped doll on the desk.


    She recalled the same bear was on E’s shoulder bag.


    A bitterness shed by her eyes.


    "Mr. Joseph, here is the report; if there is nothing else, I’ll take my leave now."


    As soon as she said these words, she turned around to leave.


    But Joseph was even quicker; he pressed on his remote and locked the door.


    Kathy''s face turned white as she heard the sound of the door lock.


    "What are you doing?" She lost all politeness from a while ago.


    In amanding voice, Joseph said, "I promised you a make-up lesson; we’ll get started once I finish


    the matter on hand."


    "No need, I can look over the course material by myself." Right now, she didn''t want to be with him at


    all.


    "Not up to you." Joseph said coldly.


    "Mr. Joseph, are you biting off more than you can chew?" Kathy stared at him and mocked.


    "We’re just teacher and student, isn''t that what you said?" Joseph raised his eyebrows.


    "Yes, but who knows what you’re thinking." Kathy whispered.


    In a split second, he stood before her; he raised her chin and gazed deeply into her eyes.


    "Do you want to know what I’m thinking?"


    "No…"


    Before she had a chance to finish, his kissed her lips, and pushed her words down her throat.


    He…


    She regainedposure and smacked hard on his chest, trying to push him away.


    But Joseph''s strength was too great; Kathy couldn''t move at all as he held her in his arms.


    After a while, Joseph let go.


    Kathy raised her hand and pped Joseph with force. A sh of anger quickly ran by his eyes.


    But he kept his temper.


    Looking at the red palm shape on Joseph''s face, she thought about how much force she must have put


    into this p.


    But Joseph didn''t even say one word.


    "Mr. Joseph, please keep your hands to yourself!"


    "Keep my hands to myself?" Joseph squinted, the look in his eyes grew dimmer.


    "You’re getting married soon," Kathy said sharply, "please, don''t harass me again."


    "Harass you?"


    "Yes." Kathy nodded without a second thought.


    He was quite intimate with E already, so why did he still harass her!


    "So even if you flunk tests, you won’te to me to make them up?" Joseph''s voice sounded calm,


    and he asked in a in voice.


    "Yes!"


    Even if she failed her exams, never did she want to be alone with Joseph again!


    She had to stay away from him!


    Joseph unlocked the door and looked on as Kathy fled out; there was a noticeable look of


    disappointment in his eyes.


    Once Joseph got home, Veronica told him that Grandpa was angry with him, and that he would not


    attend Joseph’s wedding with E. The only inw he would recognize for Joseph to marry was Kathy.


    “Hm.” Joseph’s expression was calm.


    Veronica looked at him and wanted to say something, but she didn’t.


    Lately, his behavior has be increasingly hard to understand.


    "Joseph, do you really n to marry E?" After a long silence, she managed to ask.


    "Wedding preparations are already underway." He frowned.


    "You never even told me." Veronica said in a sullen voice.


    "Don''t fret over it." Joseph said.


    "Who knows how, but E got my WeChat today; she asked me to eat with her tomorrow." Veronica


    said.


    As they chatted today, Veronica noticeably could tell that E was trying to get close to her.


    In actuality, Veronica didn’t care who Joseph married, as long as that person wasn’t from the Hilton


    family.


    "Go if you want, get to know the people in her family." Joseph’s eyes narrowed.


    Looking at him, Veronica felt as if there were hidden meanings behind his words.


    "People in her family?" Veronica asked as she frowned.


    "Hm."


    ...


    On Sunday, Joseph was working at home; since E wanted to meet her, Veronica decided to invite


    E over to the house.


    She had to see for herself what was really going on between the two of them.


    E arrived early and brought a ton of groceries from the market, and said she wanted to cook for


    Joseph.


    But he kept to himself in his study the whole time.


    Veronica had to greet E first. It was her first time meeting this woman, and she looked... decent; one


    could even say she was quite beautiful.


    From what Veronica could tell so far, E had a good temperament as well.


    But she couldn’t help but wonder, her brother had no shortage of beautiful women around him, so what


    exactly did he like about her?


    Thinking of what Joseph said before, Veronica asked, "Miss E, are you staying in City N?"


    "I live in City C, my whole family lives there."


    "Are you an only child?"


    "I have an older brother." E said, and her face looked ill.


    Veronica was keen to note this detail.


    "You and your brother must get along well."

    "We..." E paused, "My parents recently got divorced. In truth, my brother and I don’t know each other


    well; we’re not blood rted."


    A slight look of hatred shed across E''s face; Veronica thought she was mistaken at first.


    A beauty like E must have been treated like a delicate princess by her family.


    "Well, you and my brother are getting married, but both families have not even met yet." Veronica


    muttered.


    Grandpa was quite clear that he disapproved of this marriage; he refused to even meet with E’s


    family.


    E''s hands trembled as she washed the vegetables. To meet the family... Her face became paler and


    paler.


    "My brother will attend the wedding; we will all meet him then."


    "Alright." E looked as if she was about to cry, so Veronica stopped asking.


    Veronica told Joseph everything from her chat with E.


    In the study, Veronica stared at her brother''s nk expression, "E is preparing downstairs; shouldn’t


    you go help?"


    E sent all the servants away, but it was obvious she barely knew how to cook, and it was a mess.


    There was no one left to help, except for Joseph.


    "Let the servants cook." Joseph frowned.


    "How can I; she wants to make lunch just for you." Veronica said bitterly.


    Joseph''s face still had a nk expression. He had several video conference callster. Veronica


    thought it was odd for him topletely ignore E.


    No matter; she’ll take this opportunity to better get to know that woman.


    Finally, in the afternoon, E had finished preparing the rather terrible lunch.


    In fact, most of the dishes were overcooked; the rest of the dishes looked unappetizing.


    "Miss E, is this your first time cooking?" Veronica valued her life dearly, she didn''t dare to take a bite.


    She would call Joseph down and let him eat.


    E nodded remorsefully; who knew cooking was this difficult? Even after three hours of hard work, the


    meal looked inedible.


    She stood up, "You know what, let’s toss these and order delivery instead."


    At this very moment, Joseph arrived; upon seeing him, E''s face turned red.


    "Joseph."


    Joseph frowned; before he even reached downstairs, he could smell the scent of something burning.


    "Are you here to cause trouble?" There was a horrifying look anger in his eyes.
