“Was it you who caused the incident last night?” Billy approached Herbert and pinched her chin with an ice-cold look on his face.
Herbert looked innocent, “What did I do?”
“Kathy was in danger last night.” Billy stared at Herbert.
Herbert frowned and pushed Billy away. “Although I don’t like her, I wouldn’t want to hurt her.”
Billy grabbed her shoulder, making her unable to move. Billy was using more and more strength, and the pain caused Herbert’s expression to change.
“Billy, why are you asking me if you don’t believe my words?” Herbert said angrily.
Billy sneered, “I’m still investigating. If it’s really you, Herbert, then this is the end of our relationship.”
“No!” Herbert immediately retorted, “Billy, we had an agreement. You can’t desert me like this!”
“Nobody can stop me from doing what I want. Herbert, you are just a nonentity. Don’t think that you are so important to me,” Billy said indifferently as he turned around and sat down on the sofa.
The unfathomable expression on his face made it difficult for Herbert to guess what he was thinking.
Herbert bit her lips and couldn’t help trembling. After a while, she approached Billy and sat beside him. “No matter what, I will marry you.”
“Don’t you love Peter anymore? Have you given up on him?” Billy suddenly pinched her shoulder.
Herbert smiled and said, “I am too good for him. Billy only we are a perfect couple.”
After saying that, she approached Billy, trying to kiss this handsome man beside her.
He pushed her away and said calmly, “You are a snobbish woman, but I don’t hate it.”
…
In the evening, the afterglow shone on Kathy’s petite figure.
Joseph held the woman in his arms, kissing her on the forehead.
When he tried to stand up, Kathy moaned and hugged him even more tightly.
The man slowly pulled out his hands and walked out of the room. John had already been waiting for him.
“What did you find?” Joseph sat down on the sofa.
John looked down and said in a deep voice, “The man’s name was David. He was a terminal cancer patient. He had sent his wife and daughter abroad before he died. During the six months in the hospital, he did not contact with anyone. However, I found his phone records. He had contact with an oversea number recently. We are still searching for detailed information now.”
“I just want the results,” Joseph said coldly, “You still have one day.”
John nodded. After John left, Joseph leaned against the sofa, looking extremely serious.
Kathy slept until night. After she woke up, Joseph quickly send someone to deliver dinner to her. Then she took a bath, which made her feel much more comfortable.
After all, what happened last night had left her a trauma.
“Where is that person now?” Kathy asked.
She remembered that she saw John subdue him before she got in the car. Then … what did John do afterwards?
“He is at the police station.” Joseph did not tell Kathy that the person was dead.
“Can you find out who was behind this?” Kathy’s hands trembled. She remembered that when she asked the man, he did not deny that it was Peter who asked him to do so.
“He didn’t say anything,” Joseph said in a deep voice.
Kathy frowned, “At that time, I thought it could be Peter who did this, and the man didn’t deny it.”
“You think it’s him?” Joseph raised his eyebrows.
“He said he hated me.” Kathy looked down and her voice became cold.
She could understand why Peter hated her, but what he believed was not the truth at all.
“I’ll keep an eye on him,” Joseph said seriously. Then he looked at Kathy gently, “Don’t worry about it. Leave this matter to me.”
Kathy smiled and said, “I’ve caused you trouble again.”
“It was my fault. I failed to protect you.”
