"Brother, what are you doing?"
Joseph pursed his thin lips in a nippy manner and did not speak a word.
This appearance of Joseph made Veronica a little afraid.
Veronica looked at her brother's leg, doubtfully, "Aren't you almost ready to be discharged from the hospital? Why does it seem to be getting worse, did Julian do something to it?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine." It was a long time before Joseph's face softened.
After leaving the hospital, Kathy's heart was in turmoil.
Joseph's words of remarriage with her may have been a joke, but she was unable to calm down.
As soon as she got on the bus, her cell phone rang. It was a call from Jennifer, asking her to go to the Hilton Family's house for a while.
Kathy wanted to reject it, but she had no classes at night. After thinking about it, she hadn't seen Jennifer for more than half a month.
It would take at least half an hour to get down from the station and walk to the villa, so Billy drove out to pick her up.
Billy's face was tense, and it was apparent that he was not in a good mood.
Kathy didn't say anything either, and both of them had their own thoughts.
Only when she got out of the car did Billy open his mouth, "Have you been close to Joseph lately?".
"Nothing to do with you, is it?" Kathy did not want to answer.
"The Hilton Group is going bankrupt." Billy suddenly said.
The Hilton Group's situation was awful recently due to the Herbert Group's bankruptcy. The market share of the Joseph Group's new drugs was very high, and currently even the Hilton Group's original market share was snatched away by the Joseph Group.
A large number of unsold drugs on the market were all belonged to the Hilton Group.
Joseph's tactics were long-established to target the Hilton Group.
It was just that Billy had just realized it now.
Kathy was surprised by the news.
In her opinion, the Hilton Group was a big and famous enterprise, and the bankruptcy of the Herbert Group was expected, so how could even the Hilton Group be affected so much.
"Mom can't sit still now, and she wanted you to return and help. Do you believe it?" Billy even laughed out at this time.
He was busy cleaning up the Hilton Group's mess, but it seemed to be useless. Jennifer was mobilizing her forces to help, but Joseph's blow was too much of a surprise.
Kathy was silent and went directly into the villa.
Jennifer sat on the sofa as she had done the first time they met, she was elegantly making tea.
"Mom."
"Kathy, you're here. Sit down. Billy, you go up first."
"Well, I'll be in the study room."
At this moment, Billy's bad intention had been reduced quite a bit, and his face showed all signs of fatigue.
Kathy withdrew her gaze.
"Mom misses you so much, so I asked you to come over to keep me company, didn't disturb you, right?" Jennifer asked gently.
Kathy shook her head, "I don't have any classes today, either."
"Good to hear that. Do you listen to the news often? The Herbert Group went bankrupt, and now The Hilton Group is affected. Billy is in a tough situation," Jennifer sighed.
Kathy didn't know what to say for a moment.
Although she and Jennifer had a mother-daughter relationship, the Hilton family was still unfamiliar to her.
"Mom, I don't really know these things."
"That's partly right also. You're usually very busy with your studies."
"Mom, just say what you have in mind."
Kathy could tell that Jennifer was hesitant to speak out.
On hearing this, Jennifer lowered her face, "I know you've been close to Joseph lately, and you've been visiting him in the hospital every day."
Kathy's face turned pale, "You sent someone to follow me?"
"It was Bertie who talked to me about it when he visited. None of us was following you." Jennifer frowned.
Kathy's tone just now was a bit extreme, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward at the moment.
"Sorry." Kathy's tone was indifferent.
"It's fine. I just wanted to ask if you still want to be with Joseph?"
"No, we won't be together," Kathy said coldly.
Jennifer frowned, "He's striking at the Hilton Family, and I'm afraid that in the future, the Joseph Family won't let the Booth Group go either."
