Chapter 322 Could Not Go Back To Where They Were

At this moment, Kathy’s phone rang. It was Zofia who called her, asking her where she was.

“I’m at the Hon Restaurant outside campus.”

“That’s coincidental, my brother and I are here having our meal too, come eat with me?”

“I’m… I’m eating with Joseph.”

“What? You’re eating with your ex husband?” Zofia’s voice became louder, it was to purposely allow
Bertie to hear.

Bertie’s expression darkened at that moment, and he put the menu down.

Zofia smiled silently, “Then I won’t disturb you.”

When she hung up, Kathy raised her eyes and heard Joseph’s voice, “Who called?”

“Zofia.”

“Are you used to hanging out with her?” He asked.

Joseph and Zofia had known each other for a long time. Zofia used to go to the Joseph family’s home
to bring Veronica out all the time, the two had met quite a few times.

He knew that she was a clever and understanding woman.

“Zofia? She’s nice, back when I was suspected of cheating, she helped me out quite a lot,” Kathy
smiled.

Zofia was not as hard to get along as she thought. On the contrary, when the two got to know each
other better, they had rather became friends.



But this… might have something to do with Bertie.

“The person whom you just bailed out, who is she?” Kathy asked.

She wanted to know who had harmed Sammy so cruelly.

Since Sammy was once very close to her.

“Veronica’s mother, she was the second wife of Diego.”

Kathy stunned for a moment, it seemed that actually Veronica and Joseph were not siblings by blood.

“Why would she do that?”

“Macie was targeting Peter,” Joseph said no more.

So Kathy did not ask any further, Joseph’s expression was dark, it was apparent that he did not want to
bring this up.

The atmosphere of the meal was still considered harmonised. Kathy never thought that after their
divorce, she and Joseph could still sit down so peacefully to have a meal together.

…

On the weekend, because the Marshall family was not located in City N, so Zofia went to the Joseph
family’s home to hang out with Veronica.

Kathy was studying on her own in her dormitory, Jennifer had called her in the middle pf her studies
and asked her to go home for a meal.

Listening to Jennifer’s sickly voice, Kathy was still quite worried. So she hailed a cab and went back.



As she just got down from the cab, a familiar being walked out of the entrance.

Looking at Kathy, Herbert felt surprised as well.

But she then smiled quickly, “Isn’t this the young mistress of the Booth family?”

Kathy did not take heed of her and walked directly into the Hilton family’s home.

But Herbert then walked up and said in a sour tone, “Kathy, how could you be so lucky and inherited
the billion dollar fortune of the Booth family. Why don’t I have this sort of luck.”

Kathy’s expression went dark, “What do you really want to say, Herbert?”

“What do I want to say? Kathy, I’m telling you that what was between us was not cleared off yet, I won’t
let you off so easily.“

“What will Ms Herbert do to not let me go?” Kathy smiled coldly.

“You don’t know yet do you? The patents and selling rights of the best-selling medicine under the
Joseph group are all sold for a low price to the Herbert group. This has saved the Herbert group from a
lot of misery. The person who had made this decision was your man, Joseph.”

As she heard this, Kathy’s face paled, Joseph was rescuing the Herbert group?

The Herbert group had been close to bankruptcy before, only when it was bought by the Hilton group
that the situation got better.

If they were in possession of such rights, they might be able to recover.

“Kathy, the person who kept harming you wasn’t me but rather it was Joseph. Or else, why would he
keep helping me,” as she said so, Herbert left snobbishly on her heels.



Kathy was long frozen, Herbert’s words were like a wake up call to her, Joseph…

Yes, she had seen photos of Joseph’s car fetching Herbert, and he had not submitted the evidence of
her defaming the NCHV Medical Company…

Further, now…

She immediately opened her phone and searched for the news of the Joseph group. It was just like
what Herbert had said.

Why would Joseph do this?

She did not believe Herbert! She did not!

But the truth of all this was set out in front of her!

“Kathy?” Billy walked out. Looking at Kathy’s pale expression, he wanted to help her up caringly.

But she pushed him away angrily.

Billy squinted, “Just saw Herbert?”

He knew that if Herbert saw Kathy, she would definitely not have said anything nice.

Kathy pursed her lips and remained silent.

She was still processing what Herbert had said.

At this moment, Billy saw her phone, the news on it was the latest announcement from the Joseph
group.



He smiled suddenly, “The Herbert group is cooperating with the Joseph group now. We were originally
discussing about acquisition with Joseph, but it wasn’t expected that Herbert and him had a close
relationship, so he just sold it to us at a low price.”

“The Herbert group’s situation hasn’t been too well recently,” Kathy frowned, remembering the
instability of the Joseph group recently.

Because Macie was involved in a murder case, the Joseph group was also dragged into a credibility
crisis. The fact that Macie’s identity was enlarged had not affected the Joseph group actually. But the
person behind had obviously wanted to take down the Joseph group.

“That’s true, but I hadn’t expected Joseph to be so straightforward. Actually we are also helping the
Joseph group out, since besides the Hilton group behind the Herbert group, not many companies have
the capability to buy the patents and selling rights of these few types of best selling medicine,” Billy
replied confidently.

This time, no matter how it looked, the Herbert group had profited tremendously.

But Kathy still felt that there was something fish in this.

Maybe it was because in her subconscious she still believed in Joseph.

But his relationship with Herbert, he still never explained about.

“Mum is waiting for you, go in.”

Kathy came to her senses and realised that she had been standing for too long and her legs were
getting numb.

This action almost caused her to fall.



Billy immediately held on to her, his lips curled, “I thought you were taking the initiative to be close to
me.”

Kathy glared at him, “Let go of me.”

“Of course, my mum is watching,” Billy loosened his grip.

Then only Kathy saw that Jennifer had come outside.

She had a shawl around her, her face was pale, and she kept sneezing.

“Mum, you’re having a heavy flu. Just stay where you are, I won’t bully Kathy.”

Jennifer frowned. As she saw Kathy come, only her face had a bit of a smile.

“Mrs Booth,” Kathy greeted her politely.

Billy frowned, he was surprised by Kathy’s greeting.

“You don’t call her ‘mum‘?”

“Yes, Kathy, please call me mum, alright?” Jennifer’s begging look made Kathy soften.

But she no longer wanted to be related to the Booth family.

Looking at Kathy’s unpleased expression, Jennifer sighed, “Your grandfather is no longer here, I only
have two of you, my children left with me. For both of you to be here, only can we be a complete
family.”

Kathy frowned. It seemed that she had not seen any other members of the Hilton family after so long.



She only knew that her biological father had passed away years ago, and she knew nothing about the
Hilton family.

“I’ll come back during the holidays, Mrs Booth,” Kathy replied.

She had moved from Joseph Bay, the place where she thought was home, and she could no longer go
back.
