Chapter 496 Still the Same

Joseph had no choice but to smile. He looked at Kathy’s worried look and raised her chin then kissed
her.

When she was panting and speechless due to the kissing, he left the room.

Kathy was annoyed but when she recovered from it, Joseph was gone already.

“This man always did this, so hurts his body.” Kathy cleaned herself hurriedly and ran outwards.

A dining trolley was pushed in and Joseph gently put each food on the table. Kathy looked at his back
and felt touched suddenly.

She ran towards him and hugged Joseph’s waist from his back. Her cheek leant against his slightly
cold back.

“Joseph, grandpa doesn’t agree on our relationship.” She said.

It seemed to be difficult to overcome this obstacle.

“Don’t bother grandpa.” Joseph said in a cold tone.

“But, he is your grandpa.”

She had experienced Joseph’s methods so it was expected that she and Joseph would not have a
peaceful life together.

She was not afraid but she worried about Joseph.

“I will handle the relationship with him properly, don’t worry. Alright?” Joseph turned his body and
hugged her in his arms.



She bit her lips and did not reply to him.

“When are we going back?”

“Let’s stay in Country B during these days. Can we?” He asked her.

He did not want to go back now.

Kathy looked at Joseph surprisingly. Although Joseph did the school transfer for her strongly, she had
not agreed with it yet. She should be able to go back to Ocean University.

But, she was afraid that Mathew would use some methods.

“I want to return to the school because the holiday is going to be over.”

“Mathew used his relationship to drop you out of the school.”

Exactly.

Kathy’s face turned pale and held Joseph’s shirt using fingertips. She could not react to it for a while.

“When I was on the flight, Mathew’s assistant gave me a notice regarding the transfer to University of
Country B. I really doubt what he did without my consent...”

“University of Country B had already accepted your degree.” Joseph frowned.

Due to that, this was very troublesome to get it solved.

The board of directors of Ocean University did not agree with Kathy’s admission at first and now
Mathew removed her from there. It was indeed the wishes of those people.

“Mathew really... moved quickly.” Kathy looked cold.



“You need to wait for a period of time if you want to go back to Ocean University.”

At least, after he cleared those forces and he was able to protect Kathy, he would let Kathy go back.

“Joseph, if it is too hard then never mind.” Kathy sighed.

She was only in her first-year postgraduate study so if she did not stay in Ocean University, perhaps
she could apply for the other universities in other countries.

The university that she transferred by Mathew, University of Country B, was a top university also. She
did not want to put Joseph in difficulties and she could directly enter the university.

But the thing was, she did not want to accept Mathew’s arrangement.

His motive was to separate her with Joseph.

“I will not let you down.” Joseph’s voice became cold and harsh.

“I know but I don’t want you to be busy for me.” Kathy hugged him gently. The things that Joseph did
for her were already a lot.

“You are Mrs Joseph and I am willing to do anything for you. Do not think much during this time in
Country B.”

Joseph’s tone seemed like he was giving an order.

Kathy pursed his lips and looked at his firm expression then did not say anything afterwards.

...

Bridges Group.



Reece Bridges stood in front of the French window and squinted indifferently.

Until his assistant reported to him, he turned his body.

“Miss Bridges has resided in Joseph’s residence.”

“Alright, what about Joseph?”

“Joseph and Kathy are in JD Hotel. They never leave.”

Reece took a deep smoke and understood that Joseph would not return to City N recently.

“You may go out.”

After a while, his phone rang. It was from Ella Bridges.

She was extremely boring in the Joseph family and Joseph always did not come back. She did not
even know what meaning she was here.

But this was the arrangement of Mr Mathew, she did not want to reject it.

“Brother, where does Joseph go? He is also not in the hospital this week.”

“He is not in City N these days.”

“When is he going back?”

“Perhaps a month.” Reece guessed.

Now, if Kathy returned to City N, Joseph would need to remove the forces in Ocean University first. If
not, Kathy would not be able to study there.

“Such a long time...” Ella was disappointed.



“You stay in Joseph's family obediently and treat Mathew well then you can only marry Joseph as soon
as possible.”

Ella remained silent because she did not have much hope within herself already.

She knew that Joseph had a strong relationship with Kathy.

It was sure that Joseph did not come back because he was escaping from her.

When she thought so, she became more gloomy.

After hanging up the phone for a while, Veronica knocked on the door and came in.

She was unpleasant at Ella's residence in the Joseph family.

Joseph had made himself clear that he had no feelings towards her but she insisted to move in.
Although she knew that it was grandpa’s arrangement too, she was in a bad mood.

“Miss Bridge, is it your brother’s idea to let you move in?” Veronica asked.

“Yes.” Ella nodded.”

“How did your brother talk to my grandpa?” Veronica asked unintentionally.

“I don’t know. Brother will not let me know about all these things. He just let me move in and wait for
Joseph then I try. Also, I do not dare to be disobedient to him.”

Since she was driven out of City N by Joseph and followed her mother to the Bridges family, her life
had undergone tremendous changes.



Brother’s emotions changed unpredictably so she was afraid of him subconsciously. She could only be
obedient.

“Are you afraid of your brother very much?”

Ella did not answer but Veronica knew that it was.

It seemed that there was no gain.

After leaving, she called her brother.

“Ella seems to know nothing. She is also so pitiful to be manipulated by Reece.” Veronica said.

“Yes.” Joseph frowned.

“Grandpa’s medical condition is getting worse recently and he always hopes for your return. I really
don’t know if he regrets it now. But, since Ella is here, perhaps he is still the same.”

“Ask the doctor to stay there and observe him anytime.”

“I am thinking of that too but grandpa is stubborn and he doesn’t agree.” Veronica said irritably.

She had no ways to ease the tension and neither Quinn Davis.

Perhaps Mathew was waiting for the return of Joseph.

“It is his body. If he doesn’t care about it, I will not care about it anymore.” After the sentence ended,
Joseph hung up the phone indifferently.

He was still not assured so he asked John to send doctors to his house. Regardless of whether
Mathew agreed, just in case anything happened anytime.



Kathy was reading a book and she heard what Joseph said just now.

She used to think that Mathew was a calm grandfather but for now, Mathew was a stubborn and mighty
man.
