Kathy immediately refused. She knew that Joseph had a dinner party tonight.
He was always busy.
“No, I will join the party with my mother.”
“Call me at any time. I will come as soon as possible.”
In the evening, Kathy and Jennifer went to a six-star hotel of Booth Group.
Kathy wore a white dress with a tube top design, showing her slender collarbone. She coiled her hair up and she looked beautiful tonight.
“Mom, What type of party is this?” Kathy asked.
Some politicians and stars who appeared on TV also attended the party. Their presence made the party lively.
“It is the birthday party for the daughter of Marshall Group. The Booth family always has a good relationship with the Marshall family. I have watched her grow up.”
“The Marshall Group?”
It meant that Bertie would attend it too.
Sure enough, Kathy firstly saw Bertie who dressed in white suit when she walked in. He was surrounded by many people, which showed his distinguished identity.
“Mrs. Booth.” Zofia Marshall, Bertie’s sister, walked to them and said hello.
She was the protagonist of the party. Her white dress also had a tube top design, showed her slender waist. It was similar to Kathy’s dress.
“Zofia, this is my daughter, Kathy.”
“Miss Marshall, Happy birthday.” Kathy smiled.
“Thank you. Enjoy yourself.” Zofia blinked naughtily.
She walked to Bertie and took his arm fondly.
Jennifer was famous in rich women and they gathered together and talked. Kathy did not want to join them.
She found a corner and waited for leaving.
At this time, a sound came from the door. A beautiful girl sitting in the wheelchair came in. She wore a black dress and looked glamorous and cold.
Veronica?
Kathy did not know Veronica was here too. She knew Veronica hated her very much.
But why was she here?
Zofia quickly walked to Veronica. She was her friend and helped her push the wheelchair. “Veronica, I am very happy that you will attend the party.”
“I will attend it surely. This is the gift for you. Zofia.”
“It is so nice of you.”
Kathy turned her back on them. But some girls were talking beside her and she could clearly hear.
“She is not Veronica. I remember Veronica is absent from Zofia’s birthday party several times. She is paralyzed now.”
“Keep your voice down. I hear Veronica is mentally ill. Maybe she would lose control anytime.”
“Really?...”
“Of course, The Joseph family has been protecting her from letting people know about it.
“Why does Zofia still make friends with her?I am afraid to approach her.”
Kathy frowned. She looked up and found someone stood in front of her.
“Does Joseph here with you?” Quinn frowned.
Kathy was stunned and said, “He is not here.”
She looked to Veronica, “I remember Veronica is not allowed to go out. Why is she here?”
“Zofia is her good friend and she wants to celebrate her birthday.” Quinn answered.
Though Veronica was not allowed to go out, it was easy for him to go out with her.
He did not want her to stay at home all the time.
But if Veronica knew Kathy was here too, she might be irritated and lost control.
“I think you’d better leave here.” Quinn said in a deep voice.
Kathy frowned. She wanted to leave here too.
Her mother had introduced her to many friends just now. It seemed that she had achieved her goal.
She just put down the wine glass, someone in front of her handed her a glass of wine.
It was Bertie.
