Chapter 417 What He Really Wanted?

In the car not far away, Joseph was sitting in the back seat, looking at the slim figure in the rearview
mirror.

"Mr. Joseph, the meeting is about to begin."

John in the driver's seat couldn't help but speak.

After hearing this, Joseph withdrew his gaze indifferently.

At the Booth family.

Recently, a lot of things had happened to the Booth Group. When Kathy came over, many shareholders
of the Booth Group were also there, including Bertie.

Kathy felt a little out of place on such occasions.

Bertie Marshal walked towards her, "Mrs. Booth is in a meeting. She has not been to the company
recently because she is sick. She is working at home."

"What's wrong with mom?" Kathy asked worriedly.

She knew that Jennifer Booth had always been in poor health.

"They’re all old problems. She's been very weak since she had the car accident. If you have time, you
should come back to see her more. Now Billy Hilton has broken off with her, and no one takes care of
her."

"I will." Kathy nodded. "When will mom finish?"

Bertie looked at the time. "Soon."



Kathy went for a walk in the garden alone, and subconsciously opened a news page to see the current
situation of the Joseph’s Group.

However, she didn't see anything about the Joseph’s Group, but got news about The Hilton Group.

With the recent investment into the company, The Hilton Group had reorganized its industrial chain.
The current momentum of development was very strong, and it was gradually turning the corner.

Kathy stopped looking at it, because she didn't want to pay attention to The Hilton Group.

At this moment, there was a long shadow shrouded in front of her and a familiar voice sounded in her
ears, "Miss. Kathy, we meet again."

The displeasure flashed across Kathy's eyes. She raised her eyes and saw Dylan.

"Why are you here?"

"Mrs. Booth invited me over for dinner."

Kathy frowned, looked at the time and went to the main building.

Dylanlooked at her indifferent face just now. He rubbed his chin and narrowed his eyes.

He slowly followed for after a while.

Bertie kept him out of the door though.

"Mr. Lloyd, Mrs. Booth isn’t feeling well so I'm afraid we can't treat you well tonight."

"Mrs. Booth is my future mother-in-law, so it's not too much for me to go in and keep her company, isn’t
it?" Dylan's tone was very strong.



After saying it, he pushed Bertie away before Bertie moved.

But Bertie was obviously not weak. With one glance, the two guards around him immediately stepped
forward and clasped Dylan's shoulders.

Dylan got angry, he raised his foot and gave a kick.

Bertie's face remained calm and looked at the scene coldly.

Dylanwas not strong enough to fight with the two bodyguards. He was soon stopped and brought out of
the Booth Mansion.

"Bertie, you fucking..." Dylan opened his mouth to curse.

…

In the study.

Kathy knocked on the door and went in.

Although Jennifer was wearing rimless glasses, the bruising around her eyes couldn't be concealed.

She pinched her eyebrow, she was too much exhausted, and only smiled when Kathy came in.

"Kathy."

"Mom, it's the weekend today. Why do you have to work?"

"There are so many things, even if Bertie is there, there is little that he could do for me." Jennifer shook
her head.

"Tomorrow I will accompany you to the hospital. You can't refuse." Kathy said with a straight face.



It seemed that if she didn’t come today, nobody knew when Jennifer would stop working.

Jennifer smiled and made tea for Kathy. She handed it over, "I’m fine, don't listen to Bertie's nonsense."

"We will check it out tomorrow to see if it’s nonsense or not." Kathy said it seriously.

"Okay, up to you." Jennifer smiled.

Bertie cooked dinner himself, and in the evening, the three of them were seated at the table.

Jennifer remembered, "I also called Dylan to come over. Why isn’t he here yet?"

"Mom, it's impossible for me and him." Kathy frowned.

"You don't have to be together. You can just be friends."

Kathy frowned and her good mood suddenly disappeared.

"Mrs Booth, let's follow Kathy's heart." Bertie said in time.

Jennifer looked down, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Kathy's temper always changed quickly, and she didn't care about it too much.

She stayed there in the night and Jennifer came into her room.

"Kathy, I didn't want to force you." She sat down and her tone was full of love.

"I know."

"I just hope you don't focus on Joseph but get more in touch with other people."

"Mom, all I’m thinking is my study now. I'll talk about other things later."



…

During the vacation, Kathy stayed at the Booth Mansion. Bertie recently was handling the Booth
Group's official affairs so he also stayed here.

The Joseph’s Group was about to give an answer, but Kathy unexpectedly agreed.

Starting from tomorrow, she would participate in research and development in the Joseph's group
every day except weekends.

She thought it was inevitable to meet Joseph, but Kathy didn't see him for the next two weeks. She
heard the colleagues’ discussion and only knew that Joseph was on a business trip.

Kathy's mind was devoted to research and development. She worked overtime almost every day till
late at night, and only returned to the Booth family to eat at night.

Bertie often worked overtime too, and they would dine together when they met.

"Kathy, it's better to come to the Booth Group to learn more than staying at The Joseph Group during
the vacation." Bertie suggested.

"I've been involved in the project at The Joseph Group and I don't want to give up halfway." Kathy
frowned.

Bertie pursed his thin lips, and the chill spread from the bottom of his eyes.

"After all, you will have to come back to the Booth Group."

Hearing this, Kathy’s face stiffened.

She never thought her life would be like this.



At least in her plans for now, there was a high possibility that she would enter the hospital in the future.

Over the weekend, Sia Russell, the head of the R & D project, asked Kathy to accompany her to a
meeting.

Joseph was supposed to present originally, but he was not in City N, so Sia was asked to attend.

"Miss. Russell, I don't seem to be suitable." Kathy felt embarrassed.

She was not a formal employee of The Joseph Group, so she shouldn’t be involved in such meetings.

"I don't have an assistant around me. You work well. Don't you want to work with me?" Sia raised her
eyebrows but she wasn’t angry.

She naturally knew Kathy's concerns, but she had not been in office for long, and there were not many
people who she can trust around her.

"Of course I do." Kathy immediately shook her head.

"Then that's all right. Come with me."

Kathy didn't expect this meeting would be about the launch of The Hilton Group’s new drugs.

The Hilton Group invited people from The Joseph Group to attend?

The two companies had always been incompatible with each other. What did Billy want...?

In a trance, a familiar figure appeared.

Julian？



Kathy blinked and watched him walk into the conference hall surrounded by a group of bodyguards.
She remembered... he seemed to be in charge of The Joseph Group’s business in North Africa.

Why did he come back in just one month?

The meeting started quickly. Kathy sat down in the back, and Julian... sat beside Billy on the stage.

Sia kept taking notes of the meeting and passed the information back to The Joseph Group in time.

Kathy was also helping to sort out the notes. She couldn't hide her surprise when she heard that Julian
had joined The Hilton Group,

Julian... was from the Joseph family!

How could he do this...?
