Chapter 480 The Biggest Joke

At the Bridges Group's president's office.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, sunlight shone through the glass, but the man was covered in
cold air.

The cigarette flickered at his fingertips. Reece puffed hard on his cigarette and thrust one hand into his
trouser pocket. His eyes were cold.

After a while, he turned his head and kicked away the assistant next to him.

"Where's Julian? What's the situation with HY Group now?"

"Mr. Bridges, Julian has been taken over to the police station by Joseph's men for interrogation. The
HY Group is now in disarray and is an empty shell."

"Get out."

The assistant practically rolled out of the room, not daring to stay for a second.

Mr. Bridge was too frightening.

After a while, he picked up the invitation sitting on the table and dialed Ella's number, "Get changed into
your dress and wait for me at home."

In the evening, Kathy received a call from Joseph. She was still in hospital.

Tonight the Joseph's Group was hosting a celebration dinner and Joseph was coming to pick her up.

"I won't be going. I'll be on duty later."

"I'll inevitably have to drink. If I get drunk, who's going to take me home?"



Kathy froze. Joseph wasn’t a ... good drinker.

At least the image of him getting drunk last month was still vivid in her mind.

Knowing full well that Joseph had said that on purpose, Kathy was still worried.

"But I haven't prepared anything."

"I've got you ready. Come out, I'll wait for you at the door."

"Wait, I'll go and find someone else for a shift."

It was half an hour later that Kathy came rushing out. It was already a little late.

Kathy had just put on a light make-up in the washroom. Joseph looked at her fair face and a glimmer of
amusement showed in his eyes.

"Where's the dress?" As she got into the car, Joseph kept staring at her, and Kathy's face was getting
redder and redder.

"I'll take you to change when we get to the hotel."

Half an hour later, the limo pulled into the six-star hotel owned by the Joseph's Group.

They got out of the car, but there was a sudden rush of reporters around them. There were flashing
lights all over the car park.

Joseph frowned and put his arm around Kathy. John had arranged for some bodyguards to come over
immediately.

But by now Joseph and Kathy could not move an inch.



"Mr. Joseph, may I ask about your brother's identity? Is he really an illegitimate son, as the former
chairman of the Joseph's Group said today?"

"Mr. Joseph, did the former chairman slander Julian so that you could successfully inherit the Joseph's
Group?"

"I heard that Julian was arrested today. Did you report it?"

"..."

Kathy subconsciously looked at Joseph as the reporters kept asking questions, but he remained
indifferent.

Raising his hand, he blocked the camera from approaching repeatedly, "I have no comment about
Julian. But he has misappropriated funds from the Joseph's Group during his tenure. As the man in
charge of the Joseph's Group, I will pursue this matter to the end!"

Joseph's aura was intimidating, and his tone was even colder. After he finished speaking, the
journalists did not dare to speak out for a long time.

And by now the bodyguards had hurried over. Joseph walked into the lift with Kathy in his arms and the
noise around him faded away. The world was quiet again.

Kathy thought back to what Joseph had just said. She remembered vividly the mess Julian had been in
today. He was the eldest son of the Joseph family, and now it was suddenly revealed that he was only
an illegitimate child.

"Is Julian ... at the police station now?" Kathy asked.

There was a lot of talk about the Joseph's Group at the hospital today. It hadn't been long after the
launch that Julian had actually been arrested. And the HY Group was officially declared bankrupt at five



o'clock tonight. The company had been in operation for just two months.

"Well, he's guilty of a lot of things," Joseph said coldly.

Although Diego had taken the fall for him earlier, Joseph had caught him in quite a few things long ago.
Every single thing that came to light was enough to ruin Julian's reputation.

They arrived at the top floor, where a make-up artist had long since arrived in the suite, with several
beautiful gowns putting next to them.

"Why don’t you tell me earlier?" Kathy muttered. Otherwise, she would not be in a hurry to put on her
make-up.

Kathy was originally wearing only very light make-up. The make-up artist was obviously highly skilled
and did not ruin her make-up. He gave her a slight touch-up to make Kathy look even more delicate.

Kathy picked out a deep navy blue dress that was embellished with sparkling stars. In her high heels,
Kathy stood frozen in front of the mirror.

She had the feeling that she had been enchanted.

Her soft hair was made into small waves by the make-up artist and cascaded over her collarbone,
making her even more pretty.

A cold sensation hit her neck and Kathy glanced up to see Joseph's affectionate eyes.

He was holding a diamond necklace with sapphires, which he placed around her neck. His kiss fell
softly on her ear at the same time.

It tickled.



Kathy blushed and looked in the mirror. The sapphires matched the color of her dress, making her
smooth skin glow white. The amazement in her eyes grew larger.

She had the feeling that the woman in the mirror didn't even look like herself anymore.

"Joseph, is this really me ..." Kathy said in disbelief.

"Yes, my wife." With that, Joseph snapped the back of her head, turned sideways and pushed Kathy in
front of the mirror and kissed her red lips that had just been painted with lip gloss.

The make-up artist and the assistant had long since gone out. The suite was silent, and only the sound
of their breathing could be heard.

Kathy felt weak. Joseph always had a way of flirting with her.

"It's very late. Aren't you going down yet?" Kathy pressed against his chest. She was really afraid
Joseph was going to make love to her now.

He was like a wolf in heat at any moment ...

Joseph's eyes were deep. At the moment, Kathy looked like she was naked to him even though she
was wearing a dress.

The lust in his eyes was spreading.

But Kathy had already pushed him away hard.

"Yuck, you ate all my lip gloss." Kathy walked over to the dresser. She had to put on lip gloss again.

Joseph leaned over. He held Kathy's slender waist from behind as he kissed her shoulder delicately,
"Well, I'm going to eat your lip gloss first, and then I'll eat you when I'm done."



"Joseph!" Kathy glared at him both in shame and annoyance.

"Well, let's go down." Joseph smiled and took Kathy's hand in his.

It wasn't the first time the two had attended a party together, and many people knew Kathy's status.
However, it had not been made public that the two had been married and divorced, so to many people,
Kathy was simply Joseph's girlfriend.

In the ballroom, Kathy saw a number of familiar faces. Johnson, Lincoln, and Joseph were all friends.
They came over in their suits to give a toast.

Sue did not come over because she was pregnant. Men had to socialize, so Alexia, who had followed
Johnson over, went out for a walk with Kathy in the garden.

Neither of them was fond of these social gatherings. Instead, they felt more comfortable in a quiet
setting.

"Had I known there was a good show at the Joseph's Group today, I would have gone." Alexia laughed.

What Julian did at the Joseph's Group today had been edited into a different version of the video that
went viral online. It was probably the biggest joke in their circle in years.
