Chapter 170 You Did That?

Edith calmed down and smiled to Conor, “Hello. I am Edith Wesley. My family got an accident many
years ago and I have not been back to the old house for years.”

Conor toasted to her and said, “We are destined to meet each other. So today shall we talk about the
old times?”

Edith did not answer and from her pallid face, she seemed indifferent to his words.

Joseph pushed her slightly and said, “Edith, since your parents have already arranged this for you, just
accept it.”

This was a warning as well as a threat.

Edith burst into tears; although she knew how cruel the man was, she still expected him to be nice to
her.

However, she never imagined he was so mean to let her marry the other man.

Edith took a deep breath and kept calm. She turned to look at the man beside her and asked, “You
would like me to do this?”

Joseph had some wine and answered grimly, “Edith, I am married.”

What he said made Edith almost furious, but she did not leave yet.

Zain heard Joseph’s reply to Edith and was also annoyed to say, “Joseph, how can you determine
Edith’s marriage for her?”

Joseph looked up and watched Zain, “Edith lived in my family since she was a child. You, as her uncle,
did nothing for her and never visited her except asking for money. So, you are her guardian?”



Then, everyone looked at Zain in irony and anger.

“Edith, what’s your opinion?” Joseph looked at her for the first time this night.

Anyway, she could only catch some endless coldness in his eyes.

Edith laughed; she understood Joseph’s purpose that she would never reject.

She just felt some of chilly in her heart.

She said slowly, “I was raised and supported very well in Joseph’s family for these years…”

Just now, Joseph said before Edith started again, “Edith is just like my younger sister for the past
years. Mr. Conor, I will feel relieved if she can marry you.”

Conor was stunned by Edith’s beauty and said to Joseph, “Joseph, this is my pleasure. My father
hopes I can find her these years. Thank you so much for your help.”

Edith would like to ignore him but felt lack of confident when standing beside Joseph.

Everyone here was so smart that knew the meet had been organized before. But unexpectedly, Joseph
came here to talk with both of them about their marriage.

Conor asked her politely, “Edith, I still have some business to do in a couple of days. But my father
always remembers you. Why don’t you go with me tonight?”

He walked to Edith to give her a hand.

She was in a dilemma. On one hand, Joseph gave his opinions and also in the presence of powerful
Joseph, her uncle was too cowardly to talk more.

On the other hand, Conor expected her to go with him; if she agreed, she would marry him for sure.



After eye contact with Joseph, Edith looked down. She could not do anything but reach Conor’s hand.

Nevertheless, she would try to reject marrying him.

Conor was extremely satisfied and smiled to say, “Joseph, thank you for inviting me tonight. We have
to leave a little earlier.”

Edith did not see Joseph anymore who might break her heart further.

At the moment, Lincoln Fletcher clapped his hands and said, “Just now I wonder why you take Edith
here. I see it is because you let her go forever. So, you did it for your wife?”

Joseph looked down, with fingers holding the wine glass. Nobody could easily understand what he was
thinking about.

Then Lincoln looked around without seeing Kathy and asked, “Where is she? I saw she came here
right now.”

“Hum?” Joseph was a little surprised at that and squinted, “She came here?”

Lincoln frowned, “You don’t know? Grandpa took her here. Now grandpa is playing poker with some
shareholders upstairs. Kathy cannot be there with him. Anyway, I saw her minutes ago.”

Joseph was totally unhappy with this and dialed Kathy’s number; he heard that “The number you dialed
is out of service.”

He got worried and said, “Go to check which hotel is not in service?” then he also requested hotel
security to look for her.

Lincoln left for the task at once but came back to ask, “She would go back? She might see you are
here with Edith and feel heart broken.”



Joseph frowned and answered immediately, “Impossible.”

Soon later, John checked the whole security system in the hotel. The event kept going on with a lot of
people coming in secretly to look for Kathy; it did not disturb the event and the guests.

Right the moment, Billy, standing in a corner, noticed something unusual. He frowned and looked
around not to find Kathy.

His location was just beside the main door; he knew Kathy never left here since she came in.

There was no other exit in the outdoor balcony.

Finally, he saw a side door on a wall opposite him. But someone else went there faster than him.

Joseph looked at the locked exit; he seemed to be greatly nervous with his fists clenching.

The hotel manager brought the key. Joseph kicked the door out of which noise disturbed Kathy trapped
inside the stairs space.

Somebody was coming to save her!

Kathy looked up in the dim light. The tall man’s shadow was nearly covered by darkness. She still
recognized he is Joseph.

She never imagined Joseph would come to save her.

Though she expected it, she still did not think it would come true.

At the moment, the man walked slowly with hostility; he looked too gloomy, but tended to be gentle
when seeing Kathy here.



“Joseph.” Kathy mumbled and raised her head with difficulty. She looked at his eyes and then tried to
stand up.

For sitting too long with bending legs, her feet were numb. She did not stand steadily and almost fell
down from the stairs. Just now Joseph held her with his long arms.

In the corridor outside the door, Edith who was ready to leave saw Joseph walk inside; she felt so hate
to Kathy that clenched her fists.

She just bade Conor a farewell and agreed with him to go to Country B in three days and would deal
with some issues these days.

She did not think that Joseph would find Kathy before she came back to the event.

She got trembling with looking wan also.

Now someone walked towards her; it was Billy. He looked at Edith with sharp eyesight and asked her,
“You did that?”
