In the study.
Joseph looked at the photos on Weibo with a gloomy expression.
After John found out he immediately took down this Weibo post, however it was not long after, that another account started to post them again, and this time many people had already forwarded the photographs on.
The woman being held by Bertie in the picture was Kathy.
Then at this moment Joseph received a phone call from Lincoln.
“Joseph, tonight I will be going to Europe to help you keep an eye on things. If there is no unforeseen mishap then I don’t plan to return.”
“Alright, go and take Sue with you.” Joseph’s tone of voice made him seem very resentful.
Lincoln naturally knew why Joseph was being like this.
Sue had been misleading Bertie into thinking that his fiancée was Kathy, and this was something that Joseph had consented to, however rather reluctantly.
This was to not only leave and keep away from the Fletcher family in the future but to also for at least a short period of time not attract the attention of the Marshall family.
Therefore Bertie currently thinks that Kathy is Sue, which will in turn make Sue’s departure run a lot more smoothly.
“Relax, any woman that has feelings for you will definitely never develop any interest in someone like Bertie, I believe in my sister-in-law.” Lincoln assured him.
Joseph hung up the phone rather blankly and then went over to the bedroom only to discover that Kathy was not there.
He looked at his mobile phone and saw an unread message.
“Joseph, I’ve gone out for a little while, I promise to come back soon.”
The man’s face darkened and he immediately shouted to John, “I want my wife’s whereabouts!”
At the Hill club.
The moment that Sue arrived, Lincoln’s car had just stopped behind her at the same time.
He then quickly went over to her, grabbed her and said, “Sue, what do you want to do!”
“I want to explain clearly to Bertie that he is not to bother Kathy anymore!” Sue said rather stubbornly.
From the start she had chosen to believe what Lincoln said to her, which had now made the situation Kathy was in so awkward.
She regretted it.
She really wanted to be together with Lincoln, however when she fell in love with him she had to mentally prepare herself long before. However, this path was perhaps becoming too difficult to continue, and one day she may have no choice but to give up in the end.
She was able to accept any outcome.
“You are at your safest now because Bertie is willing to pursue Kathy.”
Lincoln only had eyes for Sue.
He absolutely must leave together safely with her.
“Lincoln, we can’t be so selfish. Kathy was willing to help me but I don’t want to cause her any harm.”
“Joseph and her are doing very well together, what kind of trouble do you think that Bertie will really be able to cause?” Lincoln narrowed his eyes.
Sue was quiet, since she too was thinking this way.
However she still felt uneasy inside.
“Come back with me, if you choose to reveal everything now then it won’t be so easy to leave tomorrow.” Lincoln said coldly.
The man pulled at Sue rather strongly to sit in the car, and over at the entrance Kathy had already gone inside.
She dialed Sue’s phone number.
“I’ve arrived, have you seen Bertie yet, where are you…”
A soon as the voice fell, Lincoln immediately snatched Sue’s phone and turned it off.
“You!”
Sue stared at him angrily.
However the man just stepped hard on the accelerator pedal and the car quickly sped away.
“Miss, who are you looking for?” An attendant took the initiative to ask Kathy.
“Sue.”
“I’m sorry I already checked, but we have no guest here tonight under the name of Sue.”
Kathy frowned, and once again dialed Sue’s phone number; however it appeared that her phone was turned off.
She then clicked on the text message that Sue had sent her half an hour ago that said -- Bertie is at the Hill Club, let’s go to explain everything to him.
This was definitely the right location.
However since Kathy was unable to contact Sue, and she didn’t want to approach Bertie alone, she decided to leave the club.
However she hadn’t even gotten inside the elevator yet when she saw the figure of someone she really didn’t want to see.
Even during the day time Bertie was still wearing full black attire, which suddenly made her surroundings bitterly cold.
Kathy was stuck to the wall with no way to escape.
“So here is my dear fiancée,” Bertie approached her smiling.
“I am not your fiancée!” Kathy rolled her eyes.
However Bertie was finding this all too amusing.
