Chapter 386 Lying This Whole Time

Kathy hugged her mother gently and tried to comfort her. She asked concerningly, “Mom, are you
hurt?”

“Billy still doesn’t dare to hurt me, but you…” Jennifer shook her head.

“I’m fine.”

Kathy was going to go back to the university, but Jennifer’s emotion wasn’t very stable right now. She
decided to accompany Jennifer back to Booth’s old castle first.

Bertie was also accompanying them the whole time.

“The Hilton group is now hanging by a thread and mom can’t control Billy anymore. You should avoid
meeting him for the time being,” said Jennifer.

Jennifer knew that Bertie had already sent some people to protect Kathy and hence she felt more
assured.

Kathy nodded, “I know.”

“I will also send some people to track Billy’s whereabouts, Mrs. Booth. I won’t let him hurt Kathy,” said
Bertie with his deep voice.

“Thank you, Bertie.”

At Joseph’s group.

John handed Kathy’s medical report to Joseph.

“Mr. Joseph, I swapped the medical report beforehand.”



“Okay.”

Joseph answered indifferently and took the report from John’s hand.

Kathy did a brain CT scan during the checkup. He took out the CT image and took a good look at it.
The expression on his face turned darker and darker.

“Who was the surgeon that did the surgery on the day of the accident?”

“I’ll go check.”

“No need, I’ll go to the hospital right now.”

He took long strides and quickly left after finishing his sentence.

On the way, John had found the list of the doctors that did Kathy’s surgery on the day of the accident.
Joseph went up directly to the office when he got to the hospital.

Even though he wasn’t a doctor anymore, but in the medical field, his skills were top-notch, and no one
could surpass him.

John waited worriedly outside. Finally, after an hour, Joseph walked out with the doctor who oversaw
the surgery that day.

“Do you have a cigarette?” asked Joseph.

This was the first time his boss asked such a question.

Joseph wasn’t addicted to smoking and usually only had the cigarette in his mouth. He never actually
smoked them.



John thought that maybe it was the same this time around. But to his surprise, Joseph started smoking
the cigarette.

His expression was darker and sombre than ever

There was also a hint of sadness and agony on his face.

John thought his eyes were playing tricks on him… But it was too real.

He instinctively moved to the side. Did something actually happen to Miss Kathy?

Otherwise, his boss wouldn’t have switched her report into another one.

…

Recently, the Hilton group introduced a new medicine “LT” into the market and their sales skyrocketed.
They took over some of Joseph’s group’s market and managed to avoid the crisis.

Still, they were facing more than one problem right now.

Because of the problems from before, there was a large expenditure, and their funding was slowly
depleting. They had to raise some money through financing, otherwise, the Hilton group wouldn’t last
much longer.

Billy went to the Booth group after his meeting.

He couldn’t see Jennifer and so he waited downstairs.

It was already nighttime when Jennifer finally left the Booth group.

She saw Billy and her gentle expression turned darker.



“You still have the guts to come and see me?” said Jennifer, her tone of voice was frigid.

“Mom, I was wrong.” Billy didn’t sound as arrogant as he was before anymore.

If he lost the Hilton group, he would lose everything.

“Billy, I know you want me to help you, but that’s impossible.” Jennifer ignored him and left the Booth
group.

Though Billy kept following her, he even stopped in front of her car to halt her in her tracks.

The driver stepped on the brakes abruptly and looked at Jennifer helplessly, “Miss Booth, Mr. Hilton is
blocking the road…”

There was nothing Jennifer could do but to get off the car. She looked at Billy and felt a bit sorry for
him.

After all, she brought him up and took care of him for so many years.

But she couldn’t forgive what he did to Kathy.

She probably unintendedly influenced him, and it led him to take such extreme measures. One had to
be cold-hearted enough to be able to maintain their power and position.

Now, Kathy was back, and Jennifer felt more compassionate than ever.

“Billy, give up on the Hilton Group. I’ll arrange something so that you can go overseas,” said Jennifer
heavy-heartedly after a long pause.

“I only want the Hilton Group,” responded Billy coldly.

He didn’t want to start all over again.



He initially thought that the Hilton’s empire was not that weak. But Joseph did one thing after another to
attack the Hilton Group and only then Billy realized that Joseph had everything planned out from the
very beginning.

“Mom, I just need some funds from the Booth group!”

“The Hilton Group couldn’t be saved anymore even if the Booth Group gives you some funding.”

Jennifer knew very well what was going to happen, judging by the situation.

Joseph was much smarter about his actions than Billy, Billy could never win this fight.

“You just never believe in me!” Billy flew into a rage, “The Hilton Group is slowly recovering recently, we
will be able to turn the tides!”

“The medicines that you guys developed recently are an imitation of the Joseph’s Group product. It
wouldn’t be long until the administration of the medical products finds out about it. Billy, stop before it’s
too late.” Jennifer tried to talk sense into Billy.

Billy might be charged with a crime if it went on like this.

“No, I improved the recipe! It wasn’t an imitation!” Billy tried to explain himself.

Jennifer had a cold expression on her face, “Go back, don’t ever come to me for anything concerning
the Hilton Group anymore. You should also not come to see me anymore. The Hilton family’s fate is in
your hands and I don’t owe you anything.”

Jennifer got on the car indifferently after finishing her sentence.

She told the driver, “Let’s go.”

“But…”



The driver looked anxiously upfront, Billy was still blocking the way!

“Just drive.”

Jennifer repeated herself. The driver could only grit his teeth and stepped on the pedal. Billy quickly
jumped out of the way and all he was left with was smoke on his face.

…

As expected, the administration of the medical products came down with a verdict a few days after the
Hilton Group was in a better situation.

The new medicine product “LT” that Billy developed was an imitation product of the Joseph’s Group’s
“LI”. They were ordered to take their product off the market and the Hilton Group was hit with a penalty.

On the very day, the Hilton Group’s stock crashed and hit rock bottom.

Zofia was watching the news about the Hilton Group intently every day, she earnestly wished for the
Hilton Group to declare bankruptcy soon.

She was elated after seeing the news today.

Kathy heard Zofia making noises and went over to watch the news too.

The Hilton Group’s situation was a rollercoaster ride for the past few days. The whole city was
watching, but not one enterprise was willing to help them.

Everybody knew that the Hilton Group wouldn’t last much longer.

Kathy looked indifferent, she couldn’t feel strong emotions despite what was happening.



She thought Jennifer would give a helping hand since Billy was someone that she brought up, but it
seemed like she wasn’t planning to.

Kathy went to the hospital in the night to help Benedict out, she only left the hospital around midnight.

She didn’t take a break the whole time and maybe because of that, her head started to throb. She had
to squat down, and her face was turning pale.

The bodyguard who was protecting Kathy in the dark immediately walked up to her and contacted
Bertie.

Joseph also got a call from a bodyguard, he also arranged some people to watch over Kathy,

His face turned solemn knowing that Bertie was rushing to Kathy. He was still in a meeting and the
other executives didn’t dare to say anything after seeing his bleak expression.

Joseph rubbed his nose bridge and said coldly, “Continue.”

At the hospital.

The doctor was already in the wardroom and was doing a checkup for Kathy. He affirmed that Kathy
had fainted due to low blood sugar.

“Did you eat anything today?” asked the doctor.

Kathy thought for a bit, “I haven’t had dinner yet.”

There was too much stuff in her mind just now.

“You must eat three meals on time, your body is still very weak right now,” said the doctor.

Kathy nodded, she could feel that recently her body wasn’t as sturdy as it used to be.



But she was only 25 years old, why was she so weak?
