Chapter 480 The Biggest Joke


    At the Bridges Group''s president''s office.


    In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, sunlight shone through the ss, but the man was covered in


    cold air.


    The cigarette flickered at his fingertips. Reece puffed hard on his cigarette and thrust one hand into his


    trouser pocket. His eyes were cold.


    After a while, he turned his head and kicked away the assistant next to him.


    "Where''s Julian? What''s the situation with HY Group now?"


    "Mr. Bridges, Julian has been taken over to the police station by Joseph''s men for interrogation. The


    HY Group is now in disarray and is an empty shell."


    "Get out."


    The assistant practically rolled out of the room, not daring to stay for a second.


    Mr. Bridge was too frightening.


    After a while, he picked up the invitation sitting on the table and dialed E''s number, "Get changed into


    your dress and wait for me at home."


    In the evening, Kathy received a call from Joseph. She was still in hospital.


    Tonight the Joseph''s Group was hosting a celebration dinner and Joseph wasing to pick her up.


    "I won''t be going. I''ll be on dutyter."


    "I''ll inevitably have to drink. If I get drunk, who''s going to take me home?"


    Kathy froze. Joseph wasn’t a ... good drinker.


    At least the image of him getting drunkst month was still vivid in her mind.


    Knowing full well that Joseph had said that on purpose, Kathy was still worried.


    "But I haven''t prepared anything."


    "I''ve got you ready. Come out, I''ll wait for you at the door."


    "Wait, I''ll go and find someone else for a shift."


    It was half an hourter that Kathy came rushing out. It was already a littlete.


    Kathy had just put on a light make-up in the washroom. Joseph looked at her fair face and a glimmer of


    amusement showed in his eyes.


    "Where''s the dress?" As she got into the car, Joseph kept staring at her, and Kathy''s face was getting


    redder and redder.


    "I''ll take you to change when we get to the hotel."


    Half an hourter, the limo pulled into the six-star hotel owned by the Joseph''s Group.


    They got out of the car, but there was a sudden rush of reporters around them. There were shing


    lights all over the car park.


    Joseph frowned and put his arm around Kathy. John had arranged for some bodyguards toe over


    immediately.


    But by now Joseph and Kathy could not move an inch.


    "Mr. Joseph, may I ask about your brother''s identity? Is he really an illegitimate son, as the former


    chairman of the Joseph''s Group said today?"


    "Mr. Joseph, did the former chairman nder Julian so that you could sessfully inherit the Joseph''s


    Group?"


    "I heard that Julian was arrested today. Did you report it?"

    "..."


    Kathy subconsciously looked at Joseph as the reporters kept asking questions, but he remained


    indifferent.


    Raising his hand, he blocked the camera from approaching repeatedly, "I have noment about


    Julian. But he has misappropriated funds from the Joseph''s Group during his tenure. As the man in


    charge of the Joseph''s Group, I will pursue this matter to the end!"


    Joseph''s aura was intimidating, and his tone was even colder. After he finished speaking, the


    journalists did not dare to speak out for a long time.


    And by now the bodyguards had hurried over. Joseph walked into the lift with Kathy in his arms and the


    noise around him faded away. The world was quiet again.


    Kathy thought back to what Joseph had just said. She remembered vividly the mess Julian had been in


    today. He was the eldest son of the Joseph family, and now it was suddenly revealed that he was only


    an illegitimate child.


    "Is Julian ... at the police station now?" Kathy asked.


    There was a lot of talk about the Joseph''s Group at the hospital today. It hadn''t been long after the


    launch that Julian had actually been arrested. And the HY Group was officially dered bankrupt at five


    o''clock tonight. Thepany had been in operation for just two months.


    "Well, he''s guilty of a lot of things," Joseph said coldly.


    Although Diego had taken the fall for him earlier, Joseph had caught him in quite a few things long ago.


    Every single thing that came to light was enough to ruin Julian''s reputation.


    They arrived at the top floor, where a make-up artist had long since arrived in the suite, with several


    beautiful gowns putting next to them.


    "Why don’t you tell me earlier?" Kathy muttered. Otherwise, she would not be in a hurry to put on her


    make-up.


    Kathy was originally wearing only very light make-up. The make-up artist was obviously highly skilled


    and did not ruin her make-up. He gave her a slight touch-up to make Kathy look even more delicate.


    Kathy picked out a deep navy blue dress that was embellished with sparkling stars. In her high heels,


    Kathy stood frozen in front of the mirror.


    She had the feeling that she had been enchanted.


    Her soft hair was made into small waves by the make-up artist and cascaded over her corbone,


    making her even more pretty.


    A cold sensation hit her neck and Kathy nced up to see Joseph''s affectionate eyes.


    He was holding a diamond ne with sapphires, which he ced around her neck. His kiss fell


    softly on her ear at the same time.


    It tickled.


    Kathy blushed and looked in the mirror. The sapphires matched the color of her dress, making her


    smooth skin glow white. The amazement in her eyes grewrger.


    She had the feeling that the woman in the mirror didn''t even look like herself anymore.


    "Joseph, is this really me ..." Kathy said in disbelief.


    "Yes, my wife." With that, Joseph snapped the back of her head, turned sideways and pushed Kathy in


    front of the mirror and kissed her red lips that had just been painted with lip gloss.


    The make-up artist and the assistant had long since gone out. The suite was silent, and only the sound


    of their breathing could be heard.


    Kathy felt weak. Joseph always had a way of flirting with her.


    "It''s veryte. Aren''t you going down yet?" Kathy pressed against his chest. She was really afraid


    Joseph was going to make love to her now.


    He was like a wolf in heat at any moment ...


    Joseph''s eyes were deep. At the moment, Kathy looked like she was naked to him even though she


    was wearing a dress.


    The lust in his eyes was spreading.


    But Kathy had already pushed him away hard.


    "Yuck, you ate all my lip gloss." Kathy walked over to the dresser. She had to put on lip gloss again.


    Joseph leaned over. He held Kathy''s slender waist from behind as he kissed her shoulder delicately,


    "Well, I''m going to eat your lip gloss first, and then I''ll eat you when I''m done."


    "Joseph!" Kathy red at him both in shame and annoyance.


    "Well, let''s go down." Joseph smiled and took Kathy''s hand in his.


    It wasn''t the first time the two had attended a party together, and many people knew Kathy''s status.


    However, it had not been made public that the two had been married and divorced, so to many people,


    Kathy was simply Joseph''s girlfriend.


    In the ballroom, Kathy saw a number of familiar faces. Johnson, Lincoln, and Joseph were all friends.


    They came over in their suits to give a toast.


    Sue did note over because she was pregnant. Men had to socialize, so Alexia, who had followed


    Johnson over, went out for a walk with Kathy in the garden.


    Neither of them was fond of these social gatherings. Instead, they felt morefortable in a quiet


    setting.


    "Had I known there was a good show at the Joseph''s Group today, I would have gone." Alexiaughed.


    What Julian did at the Joseph''s Group today had been edited into a different version of the video that


    went viral online. It was probably the biggest joke in their circle in years.
