My Sweetheart

Chapter 508 Dissolve the Club without Any Hesitation

Kathy accessed her phone and found the social media of Joseph’s fan club and saw that a minute ago, her identity had just been revealed.

Now, all of his fans were searching for him, just because she had seduced Joseph…

However, Joseph and she were two love birds harbouring feelings for each other. Those fans were just distorting the truth!

At the thought of this, Kathy felt extremely infuriated.

She never intended to hide her relationship with Joseph, but she didn’t expect that ever since Joseph had returned to the hospital, the number of his fans skyrocketed through the roof and he was even more famous than before.

Then again, all his fans declared that Joseph had always been single…

Kathy felt her scalp tingle when she thought about those fanatical fans. If Joseph didn’t make a statement by himself, there was no way those crazy fans would believe her.

Just as she was still deep in her thoughts, Reece had already led her to the parking lot.

“I will go back on my own, Mr Bridges. We are not that close to each other.” Kathy turned around in an attempt to leave.

Even though she might be halted by those fans, she would rather not spend time with Reece alone.

She entered a taxi and felt frustrated that her good mood had been affected by those fans and Reece.

When she returned to the Joseph Bay, dinner has been prepared by the maids early because Joseph had a surgery he needed to command at night. Kathy started to revise seriously after that.

Reece returned to the surgical theatre but Ella’s surgery was going to last three hours. He waited outside the theatre while accompanying Maria.

“You didn’t go back to school lately?” Maria asked coldly.

She wasn’t all that familiar with Reece. It had been a year since she was married into the Bridges family, and Reece had always been aloof and cold towards everyone.

“Sometimes I do.” Reece replied coldly.

“You don’t need to worry about Ella anymore after this.”

“Are you telling me that you have time to take care of sister, Ms Bridges?” Reece didn’t intend to conceal the sarcasm in his tone.

Maria would be out in different countries from time to time to catch his father in adulterous actions. His father never disappointed.

Upon hearing that, Maria’s face froze slightly as she vowed, “I will definitely make time!”

“We will respect Ella’s decision.” Reece said without emotion.

Maria didn’t respond for some time. Ella’s decision… She would naturally have to stay in City N!

However, Maria wouldn’t allow that to happen!

Shortly after, the red light on top of the door of the surgical theatre ceased to glow, and Joseph emerged from the theatre while removing his face mask.

He looked at Maria and announced, “The surgery is a success.”

Colour finally returned to Maria’s pale face as she asked, “Can I go see Ella now?”

Joseph nodded simply and then he went back to his office.

Reece accompanied Maria to the ward and saw that Ella was still unconscious. They needed to wait for an hour more for the anesthetic to wear off.

At that moment, Maria’s phone rang. It was the private detective.

“Young lady, Mr Bridges is in BV City now. He has a model by his side.”

When she heard that, Maria’s face sunk. She stood up with mild fury boiling from within, “Send me his address now!”

Reece’s gaze fell on Maria’s worked up face, and the corner of his mouth lifted up to form a smile.

“I will look after sister well.”

Maria stared at this huge man in front of her, and in the end she still left.

After half an hour, Ella finally woke up. Joseph came over to check her vitals.

Ella still couldn’t move at this moment, and she was blinking non-stop at Joseph. Her gaze was never averted from him.

“The surgery… is a success?” She mumbled while the smile playing over her lips gradually became wider.

Her eyes were sparkling with hope.

“Yes.” Joseph’s voice was cool, and after giving out some reminders, he then turned around to leave.

Ella cleared her throat but her voice seemed to catch in it. She wanted to stop him, but she couldn’t utter even a single word. She failed to prevent him from leaving.

Reece closed the door to the ward and sat down beside Ella.

“Is your heat still hurt?”

Ella shook her head, and because of Joseph’s departure, Ella’s face became a little lonely and empty.

“How long do I need to stay in the hospital?” Ella asked.

“Probably half a month.” Reece checked her medical file.

He was a medical student too, so he would know the basics.

“I see. You should go back home too.” Ella replied coldly.

Reece didn’t leave immediately. He waited until Ella went into slumber before leaving.

Outside the ward, Joseph’s figure entered his field of vision. He was just about to leave the hospital.

Earlier on, John had reported to him that Kathy had been mobbed by his fans, and some of them were even assaulting her at the fan meeting. Joseph immediately uploaded a post on social media to make clear his relationship with Kathy that they were a couple. Then, he instructed John to give the fan club a warning: If they didn’t want their club to get dissolved, they better don’t act out of bounds.

His statement had undoubtedly shaken those fans, but since Joseph had made his voice heard, they didn’t dare to continue attacking Kathy anymore.

In the first place, Joseph wouldn’t want such a fan club to exist since he never saw himself as a star. He wanted to live his life silently and without much fanfare, so if the incident this time affected Kathy greatly, he would dissolve the club without hesitation.

After leaving the hospital, Joseph had intended to go back to Joseph Bay, but there was an incident in the Joseph’s Group, so he changed his destination to that place.

Lately, Joseph had some frequent exchanges with the shareholders of the company. Although he didn’t always appear at the Joseph’s Group, he was very clear about their recent and future movements.

Joseph had been absent from various meeting, and he was rarely at the Joseph’s Group. The shareholders were filing their complaints to assign a new executive president in his place, and with Joseph’s faction of power backing him up, those people were eyeing to remove him from his position.

At the moment, Matthew was in his office, and when Joseph was coming his way, he had heard enough of those voices of dissatisfaction.

His face bore his usual coldness.

“Joseph, I have just passed on to you the position of the director of the Joseph’s Group, yet look at how you have been behaving! You have been frequenting the hospital way too much. Do you still remember your title here?” Matthew was obviously angered.

“Grandpa, I remember who I am clearly, and I know that all of the projects handled by the Joseph’s Group is proceeding smoothly. May I know what is your concern?” Joseph replied without any emotion in his voice.

Although he rarely appeared at the Joseph’s Group, but he was sure that he had handled every single matter in time. He could see at once what those group of people are thinking.

“Mr Joseph, it has been many days since you last visited the Joseph’s Group. We wanted to report to you about the progress of those projects, yet we didn’t know where to find you. This has greatly affected the company’s efficiency.” One of the shareholders voiced out his concern.

“He’s right. Although you are the director, you are also the president of our company. It wouldn’t be too much to ask for your presence here, would it?”

Upon hearing that, Joseph lifted the corners of his lips while slowly looking upwards.

“Gentlemen, you can be rest assured. There will be a new executive president coming to work next week, so if you have any complaints about me, you can raise them up by then.”

When he finished his sentence, Joseph seemed like he was about to leave.

However, Matthew called out to stop him.

“Joseph, sit down now!” Matthew ordered coldly.

Joseph furrowed his brows, “Grandpa, you are no longer the director now. I don’t need to listen to your orders.”

“I am still your grandfather!” Matthew slammed the table while rising to his feet.

“If you’re involving our familial ties, then we should talk this out at home.”

Joseph didn’t stop in his tracks as he exited the meeting room.

The lot of shareholders watched Joseph’s back and asked with concern, “Mr Matthew, what should we do now? An executive president? Will that mean the end of our influence in company matters?”

“He’s right. Since Joseph had assumed the directorship, yet he is going to let someone else take over his position. How can the leadership position of the Joseph’s Group fall into the hands of an outsider…”

“…”

Matthew held on to his walking stick and spelled out his words vehemently, “Don’t worry, I won’t let him do as he pleases. I am still alive and well!”

As he said that, Matthew couldn’t help coughing badly. He supported his frail body as he inched towards the president’s office.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
