Chapter 493 Calculations

So Reece was targeting Joseph?

In her absent-minded state, Reece finally let her loose.

Kathy had her freedom, and on instinct she avoided the man.

But there were two bodyguards dressed in suits guarding by the door, she was not able to get out.

Not long after, a maid came over and asked about Kathy’s tastes respectfully, in order to prepare
dinner.

“I don’t want to eat anything,” Kathy said coldly.

The maid stunned, being in dilemma.

Reece threw away the cigarette butt and walked over, “What, planning to starve yourself? Kathy, I won’t
force you to eat. If you starve to death, you’ll never see Joseph again.”

Hearing this, Kathy’s complexion paled.

“When would you let me go,” she asked quietly.

“Tell the maid what you’d like to eat first,” Reece’s tone was adamant.

Kathy bit on her lip, “There’s nothing I don’t like to eat.”

“See if there’s any cuisine made in City N, and make some home-made ones,” Reece ordered.

The maid immediately went to prepare.

“When would you let me go?” Kathy asked persistently.



“Depends on your performance, if you keep having a long face like that and make my mood bad, I
won’t want to release you.” Reece sat on the couch, his long legs crossed, and his eyes cold.

Kathy smiled coldly, she was equivalent to being kidnapped, how could she still smile.

At dinner time, the maid had made a lot of the home made food in City N., which tasted good , but
Kathy had not much of an appetite so she did not eat much.

Rather, Reece ate almost half of the dishes.

Kathy looked at the man, and remained expressionless.

She did not know if Joseph was also in Country B. Today was supposed to be the date they would be
engaged, as everything was already prepared.

But something happened abruptly.

Mathew was adamant in not allowing her and Joseph to be together.

Thinking this, Kathy was still sad.

She had hoped that her relationship and marriage would be recognized and blessed by the elders, but
now…

“Are you thinking of Joseph?” A male voice made Kathy come to her senses.

“Yes,” Kathy responded honestly.

She really, really missed him.

Things happened so frequently recently that her emotions were taut and it did not feel well.



“He’ll make his way to Country B soon enough,” Reece’s lips curled.

Perhaps he was already here.

Kathy’s eyes lit up and finally she had a bit of a smile on her face.

But Reece’s expression was even darker.

He suddenly lost his appetite, he then put down his chopsticks and went upstairs.

Without Reece at her side, Kathy’s mood was even lighter.

As she had no phone with her to contact the outside, she felt a bit bored.

At this moment, Joseph had just reached Country B.

John was tracking Mathew’s men, but he found that Kathy was not with them.

“Check on Reece’s whereabouts!” he ordered coldly.

Not long after he reached the hotel, Lincoln came over.

“Reece has hundreds of properties in Country B, so this is rather a large area.” Lincoln frowned.

He did not expect that the Bridges family to have such a large influence in Country B.

“Arranged for the men to spy on the branch of the Bridges Group.”

“Sure, but if it was Reece that took Kathy away, what does he want?” Lincoln asked in puzzlement.

“Could it be to threaten you? Brother, you have quite a lot of enemies.”

After he said so, Lincoln received a glare and kept silent.



“He’s Ella’s brother, what feud do you think is between him and I?” Joseph said lightly.

Some things he could not even find out until now.

“Now your old man is trying to fix you up with Ella. I found out that Reece had contacted with Mathew,
and I’m afraid they must have come to an agreement,” Lincoln recalled.

The day of celebrating Joseph’s acceptance into the board, Ella’s appearance in the room must have
been arranged by Reece.

“Grandpa still had quite a few influences on his side. Reece is ambitious, it sounds that nothing wrong
of the cooperation of the two.” Joseph frowned.

“Looks like your grandpa has left something out,” Lincoln rubbed his chin.

“I never let him relax anyway,” Joseph smiled coldly.

The members of the Joseph family were long used to the mind games.

“Mathew is not in a good condition as he used to be. he’s not afraid that you wouldn’t be able to be by
his deathbed,” Lincoln squinted.

He even calculated his grandson like this.

…

At midnight, Kathy woke up from her dream. Looking at the still lit room, she did not even dare to turn
off the lights.

Although the door was locked, she did not know if Reece would walk in being perverted.



As she heaved, she had no more sleepiness. She walked out to the balcony. The chilly sea breeze
blew in, this place was actually near the sea.

The room that she was in was on the second floor, there was a large piece of lawn outside. To jump
from here… she was still a little afraid, and further there were guards everywhere.

She watched until the day lighted up slowly, a new day came.

Although she locked the door, Reece still had the keys to open the door.

Kathy watched calmly as the man dressed in black walked in.

“How did you sleep yesterday night?” Reece asked in what seemed to be a caring tone, but actually his
expression was cold.

“I don’t need your care,” Kathy replied coldly.

Reece’s lip curled, behaving like he had not seen her fury, “Come down for breakfast.”

The maid brought in a white dress. Kathy frowned and changed into it unwillingly.

But she did not expect that Reece had other plans.

“Accompany me for a walk.”

Kathy looked at him in displease, “Aren’t you afraid that I would run away?”

“If you can run away, that would be you being capable,” Reece gave a rare smile.

But when he smiled, Kathy only felt chilled to the bone.

But if she could go out, there would be a chance to leave, Kathy would not let go of this chance.



“Alright.”

Kathy thought that what Reece meant by going out to have a walk meant going to a mall or some place
like that. But she had not expected to come to the golf course.

Now only she noticed that Reece was dressed casually in a light blue polo tee and black pants. He
walked to the golf course and put on a cap and white gloves.

“You want me to watch you play?” Kathy frowned.

The sunshine today was strong, it was so sunny…

“Can’t I?” Reece raised an eyebrow, he already picked up a golf club. His posture was accurate,
obviously a frequent player before.

“Of course,” Kathy’s tone sounded sarcastic.

And at this moment, a man and a woman walked here from not far away, obviously knowing Reece.

“Mr Bridges, you’re here in Country B,” Alfred Hall’s attitude was respectful.

“Yes,” Reece was still distant as usual.

“This is?” Alfred’s curious gaze landed on Kathy.

Since Reece rarely had women by his side.

“Kathy,” Reece introduced briefly, he did not mention Kathy’s identity.

“Hello, Ms Kathy.”

Kathy nodded lightly, she was expressionless.



Sitting on the chair behind, her gaze only looked to the lawn afar, she did not look at Reece at all.

The relationship of the two did not seem close to outsiders.

Reece played with Alfred, and the lad companion that Alfred brought sat down by Kathy’s side.

“Ms Kathy, your necklace… it’s beautiful,” the woman’s envious voice sounded.

Kathy paused, this was an engagement gift that her mother gave her from before. Of course it was
beautiful… and expensive.

“Thank you.”

“Are you Mr Bridges’ girlfriend?”

“No,” Kathy had a displeased expression.

Being misunderstood the relationship between her and Reece, it was discomforting.
