Chapter 255 Unfathomable

Kathy’s phone rang, it was Jennifer.

“Mrs. Hilton.”

Kathy was used to calling her that.

“Kathy, did you meet your grandfather yesterday?”

“Yes.”

“Even I didn’t know that my father was back in town. Was it surprising for you yesterday?” asked
Jennifer worriedly.

She was busy dealing with the matters of the Booth Group recently and she didn’t pay attention to her
father’s whereabouts.

“It was fine, grandfather told me a lot of stuff.”

“Kathy, will you forgive me?” Jennifer’s voice was trembling.

She always wanted to make it up to Kathy.

She wanted Kathy to come back to the Booth family.

But she was afraid that Kathy wouldn’t give her the chance.

Kathy stayed silent. Her grandfather did mention that Jennifer abandoned her because the Hilton family
was instigating her. Though the incident deeply scarred her, and it still bothered her until today.

“Kathy, I know that you’ll need some time. I will wait for you. I will wait until you can accept me and the
Booth family again no matter how long it takes.”



Kathy walked out of the living room after hanging up the call. Joseph had prepared breakfast.

She walked into the kitchen and hugged him from behind.

“If you were me, would you forgive the family that once abandoned you?” she asked.

The expression in Joseph’s eyes turned sinister and ruthless after hearing what Kathy said, he gave off
a frightful presence.

But Kathy didn’t notice as she was immersed in her own thoughts and emotions.

Joseph turned around and held her hand after a brief pause, he looked at her with a sharp gaze and
said, “No.”

No…

He answered without any hesitation.

“Let me know immediately if anything happens, I will dispatch my underlings to protect you,” Joseph
repeated himself to Kathy before he left.

He was willing to give her space under the premise that she stayed safe.

Kathy nodded, “They won’t hurt me, they are my family.”

Jennifer arrived at the Joseph Bay after half an hour and Kathy got into her car.

Another black car was parked far away from them

The black car trailed behind Jennifer’s after they started the engine.

After an hour, Kathy arrived at the mysterious yet extravagant castle-like mansion again.



She was perturbed and was hesitant to get off the car.

Jennifer said to her gently, “Don’t worry, Kathy. Mom will be by your side.”

Mother.

Kathy’s brow flinched, but there was no expression on her face.

In her heart, only Angela fit the title of being her mother.

Kathy then got off the car. Jennifer looked disappointed, as Kathy didn’t say anything back to her.

Zack was playing golf in the garden,

The castle-like mansion was located in front of a green mountain, the landscape was spectacular.

“Father.”

Zack didn’t answer, he was focused on playing golf.

Although he was getting old, he was still full of vim and vigour. But his body got tired after a while and
he had a mild asthma attack.

The butler on stand-by quickly gave him his medicine.

“Kathy, do you know how to play golf?” Zack turned around and looked at his granddaughter lovingly.

Kathy shook her head, she had never ever played golf in her life.

“Father, take a rest.” Jennifer went up to help him sit down.

“Why are you here?” Zack sounded unhappy.



“I was worried because you didn’t tell me that you were back.”

“There’s nothing to worry about, I’m not dead yet,” said Zack angrily.

Kathy grimaced, it was obvious that Zack and Jennifer didn’t have a good relationship.

“Grandfather, you are as fit as a fiddle, don’t worry,” said Kathy as she tried to comfort her grandfather.”

Zack’s expression immediately turned pleasant.

“Kathy, I am still persistent about what I told you yesterday, you have to go to the best one,” said Zack
seriously.

Kathy knew that her grandfather was talking about her university choice, but she was also insisted on
her own choice.

“Grandfather, Ocean University is the best choice for me.”

She knew her strength and knew what suited her the most.

“No, you should listen to me, Kathy.”

“Father, stop forcing her. Kathy should make her own decision and study wherever she wanted to.”
Jennifer voiced her support for Kathy.

She just wished that Kathy could live however she wanted to right now.

Because she would have to bear a lot of responsibilities in the future.

“Grandfather, I hope you can respect my decision.”

Zack’s face darkened, but he still managed to control his emotions even though he was angry.



“Fine, you can do as you like. But I cannot let you do as you like regarding your marriage.”

“I knew about you and Joseph. I also knew that it was a flash marriage and there were no love and
emotions involved. Tell me, why did you get married to him so desperately back then?” said Zack, his
tone softened.

“Grandfather, this is my personal problem.” Kathy didn’t want to talk about it.

“I am your grandfather, your personal problem is also my problem!” said Zack coldly.

Jennifer held out her hand and patted Kathy comfortingly, “Kathy, are there some difficulties that you
are reluctant to talk about?”

Kathy lowered her gaze. There was nothing to talk about, her goal was simple, it was to let Angela be
at ease at that time.

“I married Joseph because I love him,” said Kathy as she looked up.

“Really?” Zack was taken aback.

Even Jennifer looked a bit worried.

Kathy nodded.

“So, I will be the bad guy again if I don’t acknowledge your marriage,” said Zack as he let out a deep
sigh.

“I’m tired, you guys should leave now.”

Zack walked towards the main building with his walking stick.



Only Jennifer and Kathy remained in the garden.

What was up with grandfather today…

“Kathy, I know that it is hard to accept your identity again all of a sudden. But you will get used to it in
no time if you spend more time with your grandfather and me,” said Jennifer with a loving smile on her
face.

Kathy smiled awkwardly and said, “Mrs. Hilton…”

“Call me mom, okay?” Jennifer interrupted Kathy.

Kathy wore a heavy expression, she couldn’t bring herself to say that.

“Sorry, I’m rushing it. But your grandfather was very concerned about your wellbeing ever since he
found out about you. The Joseph family is mysterious and complicated, I also don’t wish for you to be
together with Joseph,” said Jennifer sincerely.

Kathy frowned, she didn’t like them meddling with her personal matters.

Jennifer noticed the change in Kathy’s expression, she was now a bit unhappy with Kathy.

But she maintained her smile and said to Kathy, “Have dinner with mom later, okay? There’s no saying
no.”

Kathy agreed with Jennifer’s suggestion as she had nothing else to do today.

The restaurant was located in the heart of the city, Jennifer reserved a private room.

But for some reason, Billy was also in the room.

Jennifer’s expression changed, “Why are you here, Billy?”



“I heard that you were going to have dinner with Kathy. I’m here to sponge a meal.”

“You have no business here.” Jennifer sounded a bit angry.

“Really? Kathy, do you mind if I have dinner with you guys?” Billy asked Kathy directly.

Kathy pursed her lips. Billy always called himself her brother, she couldn’t reject his request and thus
she said coldly, “Do whatever you want.”

But she also felt a slight relief with Billy around, as it wouldn’t be as awkward to be with Jennifer.

“Mind your manners,” said Jennifer sternly.

“I know, mom,” said Billy in a peculiar tone of voice.

Kathy frowned, there was something unusual about Billy.

Jennifer received a call shortly after she ordered some dishes. Something happened at Booth Group
and she had to hurry off to deal with the matter.

“Kathy, I’ll take a rain check on dinner with you, okay?”

“Go ahead, Mrs. Hilton,” answered Kathy indifferently.

“Hey, why is Joseph here with you?” asked Billy.

“He has to work, Mr. Hilton. Unlike you who always bum around,” answered Kathy sarcastically.

Billy snickered, “I see that is how you see me. But I also see that you guys are getting close, you are
starting to protect him.”
