Chapter 113
“Hilda, do you know if Kai is acquainted with Ms. Sullivan? Otherwise, why would she be inquiring for
him?” Maria asked Hilda, curious.
After all, Hilda had made Kai’s acquaintance long ago, so Maria reckoned she might know his affairs
well.
s, Hilda shook her head. “I don’t know, but he has just gotten out of prison, so he probably doesn’t
know a big shot like her.”
On second thought, Maria felt that it indeed made sense. He was in prison for three years, so how
could he possibly be acquainted with Josephine?
“I just hope he doesn’t run his mouth in front of her and drag us all down,” she said, fretting.
For some inexplicable reason, she found Kai highly unreliable.
“He’ll never do that.”
On the contrary, Hilda had absolute trust in the man.
Meanwhile, Kai awkwardly pushed the door open and walked into the office.
At the sight of Josephine sitting there, he grinned.
“Didn’t you say you were at home?” she demanded coldly.
“Uh… I’m indeed at home! I’ve now considered the office my home,” he answered as a light bulb went
off in his head.
“Who is Hilda Wace?” she questioned, going straight to the point.
“Will you believe me if I say that she’s my sister?” Kai asked in return, his eyes trained on her.
In response, Josephine chuckled coldly. “Do you think I’ll believe that?”
shing her an awkward smile, Kai had no choice but toe clean about his rtionship with Hilda.
“Hilda and I are just long-time neighbors. Our rtionship isn’t what you think…”
Josephine felt much more at peace after listening to his exnation. In truth, she trusted him, but she
wanted to hear him say it personally.
“I did not make any assumptions about your rtionship with her. The two of you can do whatever you
want. That has nothing to do with me. How presumptuous of you!”
She rolled her eyes, though inwardly, she was ted.
Kai could tell that she was no longer angry, so he queried, “How did you know I’m here? And how did
you know about Hilda?”
He was rather curious to know how she learned that he was currently working at herpany.
After all, he was just an ordinary employee, so news about him joining thepany could not have
possibly reached Josephine’s ears. If that were truly the case, she would have long since died from
exhaustion.
Josephine got to her feet. “Never you mind that. You could’ve just told me if you wanted a job, and I
could have appointed you as the general manager right away. Why do you want to be a sales
representative? Besides, you don’tck that paltry sum.”
“I don’t want to be the general manager, and I don’t have the time for that. I only came to work here to
appease my parents. Otherwise, they’d worry about me. Besides, I still have tons of things to do, so I
won’t be staying here for long.”
Kai hastily waved his hands to decline the offer since he did not want to be shackled to thepany.
“Oh right, why don’t your parents want to live at Dragon Bay anymore? Isn’t the environment there
pretty good?” Josephine asked in puzzlement as she again remembered how Gary and Hannah
insisted on leaving the mansion.
“I’m not sure either.” Kai shook his head, for he still did not know why his parents were adamant about
leaving Dragon Bay and even said those things to him.
Then, he continued, “But I feel as though someone said something to them, and that made them
leave.”

No sooner had he said that than realization dawned upon Josephine. “I know! It must’ve been Xavier!
He’s really too much. He thinks that I’ll take a fancy to him by doing so. So insidious of him!”
“Xavier? The general manager?” Kai was stunned for a moment.
At longst, he understood why Xavier suddenly appeared during his interview back then and
employed him. It turns out that he has long since known about me and also my rtionship with
Josephine!
