At the Bridges Group's president's office.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, sunlight shone through the glass, but the man was covered in cold air.
The cigarette flickered at his fingertips. Reece puffed hard on his cigarette and thrust one hand into his trouser pocket. His eyes were cold.
After a while, he turned his head and kicked away the assistant next to him.
"Where's Julian? What's the situation with HY Group now?"
"Mr. Bridges, Julian has been taken over to the police station by Joseph's men for interrogation. The HY Group is now in disarray and is an empty shell."
"Get out."
The assistant practically rolled out of the room, not daring to stay for a second.
Mr. Bridge was too frightening.
After a while, he picked up the invitation sitting on the table and dialed Ella's number, "Get changed into your dress and wait for me at home."
In the evening, Kathy received a call from Joseph. She was still in hospital.
Tonight the Joseph's Group was hosting a celebration dinner and Joseph was coming to pick her up.
"I won't be going. I'll be on duty later."
"I'll inevitably have to drink. If I get drunk, who's going to take me home?"
Kathy froze. Joseph wasn’t a ... good drinker.
At least the image of him getting drunk last month was still vivid in her mind.
Knowing full well that Joseph had said that on purpose, Kathy was still worried.
"But I haven't prepared anything."
"I've got you ready. Come out, I'll wait for you at the door."
"Wait, I'll go and find someone else for a shift."
It was half an hour later that Kathy came rushing out. It was already a little late.
Kathy had just put on a light make-up in the washroom. Joseph looked at her fair face and a glimmer of amusement showed in his eyes.
"Where's the dress?" As she got into the car, Joseph kept staring at her, and Kathy's face was getting redder and redder.
"I'll take you to change when we get to the hotel."
Half an hour later, the limo pulled into the six-star hotel owned by the Joseph's Group.
They got out of the car, but there was a sudden rush of reporters around them. There were flashing lights all over the car park.
Joseph frowned and put his arm around Kathy. John had arranged for some bodyguards to come over immediately.
But by now Joseph and Kathy could not move an inch.
"Mr. Joseph, may I ask about your brother's identity? Is he really an illegitimate son, as the former chairman of the Joseph's Group said today?"
"Mr. Joseph, did the former chairman slander Julian so that you could successfully inherit the Joseph's Group?"
"I heard that Julian was arrested today. Did you report it?"
"..."
Kathy subconsciously looked at Joseph as the reporters kept asking questions, but he remained indifferent.
Raising his hand, he blocked the camera from approaching repeatedly, "I have no comment about Julian. But he has misappropriated funds from the Joseph's Group during his tenure. As the man in charge of the Joseph's Group, I will pursue this matter to the end!"
Joseph's aura was intimidating, and his tone was even colder. After he finished speaking, the journalists did not dare to speak out for a long time.
