Chapter 270 Impeccable

“Do you agree?” Veronica raised her eyebrows.

“Yes. He doesn’t look focused. Maybe, to him, she’s no different from others,” Kathy answered calmly.

“Are you not willing to marry my brother? Because it seems so.”

“Of course not. Joseph is impeccable from his status to his personality. There’s nothing to dislike about
him.”

“You’re right. That’s why many girls like him,” Veronica agreed.

Her personality was similar to Kathy’s.

“I think I spoke too much. I must have been bored spending a long time not being able to come out.
Now that I’m out, I feel relaxed,” Veronica continued, “ I will go back too my room first. I don’t feel well.”

Looking at her shadow, Kathy looked down at her feet.

Even though she’s wearing a skirt, she had a pair of prosthetic legs.

She’s just in her early twenties, but she didn’t have the enthusiasm that she’s supposed to have at her
age.

At night, her grandfather asked her to stay back for dinner. However, Joseph left as he had business.
He would pick her up when he’s done.

Kathy sighed in relief when she knew that Diego wouldn’t be around. She’s not afraid of him, but she
didn’t want to be with him either.

Joseph came back after finishing his job. He went up to Veronica’s room after knowing that she came
back.



“Why are you messing around?” He asked her angrily.

Veronica lifted her head and looked at her brother. Her lips curved into a smile as she spoke, “Brother, I
finally meet you.”

“Why did you come back?” Joseph remained strict.

She asked him, “Don’t you want to see me?”

Joseph went silent. He felt pity for her.

“I know that you’re worry about me. However, I can’t hide from him forever, can I?”

“I will still be worried about you.” Joseph looked serious.

However, Veronica smiled and said, “This happened a long time ago so don’t be too worried about it. I
just want to attend your wedding. He won’t be around.”

“He is.”

Veronica’s expression slightly changed.

“I will protect myself this time.”

“Veronica.”

“Brother, let me attend your wedding, please?” She desperately begged her brother.

“Go back immediately after the wedding,” Joseph sighed.

Veronica grinned and nodded her head.

Joseph’s expression remained tense on the way back home.



Kathy looked at him. He seemed to not be in a good mood after meeting Veronica.

“Is there anything wrong?”

Joseph didn’t say anything. Instead, he drove the car faster.

Kathy held onto the door until they reached home.

This was the first time Joseph drove past the speed limit.

Even though he had good driving skills, but it’s still too much for Kathy…

She immediately opened the door and left the car. It was only then Joseph came to his senses. He
immediately went over to her and hugged her.

“I’m sorry.” He still seemed stressed out.

“Can you tell me what happened?” Kathy asked while looking at him.

His eyes slightly dropped.

“My heart sank when I saw Veronica.”

“What happened to her leg?”

“Three years ago, she tried committing suicide. She was saved after that, but her lower body remained
disabled for life.” Joseph explained.

Kathy was taken aback. Suicide…

She looked at the scars on her wrists. She could relate to that feeling.

“She will recover from it.” Kathy tried to console him.



“The mental scar will remain there forever.”

“So, the reason you didn’t want her to come back to City N, is because that happened when she was
here?” She guessed.

Joseph didn’t respond, which meant that he agreed.

Kathy then stopped asking further. She knew that, this incident had not only hurt Veronica, it also made
Joseph mad.

…

It was the weekends. Kathy went to her house early in the morning.

Her grandfather wasn’t feeling well, so after chatting with him for a while, she accompanied her mom to
the restaurant.

She didn’t expect Billy to come too.

As Kathy came down from the car, Billy walked over from afar.

Kathy looked annoyed. “Why are you here?”

“Sis, why didn’t you inform me about the dinner?” Billy smiled coldly.

“Billy, go back.” Jennifer’s expression changed.

Billy ignored her and said, “Mom, don’t be bias. I am your son too.”

“You only bring trouble.”

“I guarantee that I won’t this time.”



At the same time, Joseph’s family arrived.

Joseph was supporting Veronica as they walked. When he saw Billy, his expression turned sour.

Veronica’s face turned pale.

They had different thoughts at the entrance of the restaurant.

“We’ll leave.” Joseph turned around to leave, and wanted to drag Veronica with him.

Matthew raised his eyebrows, agreeing with Joseph.

“Grandson-in-law, my granddaughter is not feeling well. I’m afraid that we can’t eat this dinner
together.”

Matthew was angry too.

Her grandfather was always a humble and caring person to her, but this was the first time Kathy saw
his angry side.

She looked at Billy.

Was it because of him?

“Kathy, sorry that you have to come here for nothing. You should go back.”

After Kathy went into the car, Jennifer turned towards Billy.

“Did you do this on purpose?” Jennifer asked coldly.

“I didn’t know that she would be here.” Billy raised his eyebrows.



Veronica, her family members wouldn’t let her come back to City N that easily.

“I don’t care whether you know it or not, but don’t get involved in any of their matters.”

“Say mom, am I your real son? Ever since Kathy came back, I felt like an outsider,” he said coldly.

Jennifer’s expression slightly changed, “Don’t spout nonsense. Now that Veronica is back, don’t go
around and create trouble.”

“It was not my fault that that incident happened.”

“Even if it’s not you, don’t get involved in any of the family matters!”

“What if I want to?” Billy raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly.

“I won’t let you live in City N.”

“I see that you will really do anything for your precious daughter.”

“Billy, now that City N is peaceful, I don’t want anything bad to happen.”

“Mom, they still remember what happened that year. Don’t forget that they still want to hurt you.” Billy
warned.

Jennifer’s face turned white. At that time, she prescribed the wrong medicine. Even though there’s no
evidence, it didn’t mean that it didn’t have anything to do with Joseph’s family.

“You think that they are not like that.”

“What do you think of doing?”

“As long as Joseph doesn’t do anything, I won’t do anything.”



“Please don’t hurt Kathy in the process.” She sighed.

“She’s my sister. I love her. Of course I won’t hurt her.”

Jennifer’s expression turned even sour after hearing it.

Jennifer was nervous after being called by Jack.

“What happened? What about the dinner?”

“Veronica came back. Billy was there too.”

She never expected this to happen.

But who would have expected Veronica to come back.
