Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 1041: Pain of Losing a Beloved Wife

At the moment the glass shattered, many people’s expressions changed.

Especially those who had been enthusiastically discussing earlier, they promptly shut their mouths, afraid of inadvertently provoking Kyle Keaton.

Joseph also looked at the shattered glass, lost in thought.

Laura Quinn however enthusiastically arranged for the servants: "Hurry and bring the medicine chest over to help this gentleman with his wound."

Soon, the servants brought the medicine chest.

But Laura Quinn handed over the wound treatment to Joseph.

"You’re an excellent doctor, it’s more appropriate for you to handle this."

Joseph didn’t refuse: "Yes, dear."

No matter what motive Laura Quinn had for letting him treat a Descendant of the Kanes, it allowed Joseph to further understand him.

"Thank you, a simple treatment will suffice," Kyle Keaton did not refuse Laura Quinn’s kindness.

Thus, Joseph started treating Kyle Keaton’s wound.

"I’m going to extract the fragments embedded in your skin; this might hurt a little."

"It’s fine, this pain is nothing."

With Kyle Keaton’s words, Joseph became less cautious than before.

Although his actions weren’t rough, Joseph knew they would definitely cause the man some pain.

He thought the man would cry out, but strangely, the man didn’t even frown.

This aroused Joseph’s curiosity.

"Have you lived in Desrozin City before? You seem quite familiar with everything here."

"No."

"Then where did you live before? What did you do for work? Hmm, your demeanor seems unusual, which is why I’m curious."

Despite Joseph’s efforts to hide his ambitious desire to probe into Kyle Keaton’s past, how could someone like Kyle Keaton be easily deceived?

So he replied: "Sorry, I don’t wish to discuss my past for now. As you know, I’ve recently lost my beloved wife."

Righteous in quashing Joseph’s attempt to understand his motives, Kyle Keaton’s words also seemed to imply that Jennings’ earlier act of taking away that woman had already annoyed him.

"Is that so? Alright then."

He seemed more difficult to deal with than Elder Kane.

Trying to understand him might be deflected by mentioning Jennings as an excuse to thwart the chance to get closer.

But since they were still at the party, Joseph couldn’t do anything.

Unable to understand, he hastily finished treating the wound.

After completing the wound treatment, Kyle Keaton turned and left, mingling with his male assistant at the party.

Laura Quinn then approached Joseph.

"So, did you learn anything?"

It seemed she had given the opportunity to Joseph, genuinely wanting The Marsden Family to understand the Descendant of the Kanes, to know one’s enemy and oneself for strategic advantage.

But in truth, she just wanted to understand this man who appeared to be involved with her daughter, and what his background was. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

However, Joseph’s answer made her feel disappointed.

"Learned nothing. This man seems more difficult than Elder Kane."

"So you met your match?"

Laura Quinn appeared concerned for Joseph, yet she was actually calculating the chance of bypassing July and allying with Kyle Keaton to overthrow The Marsden Family.

"Perhaps."

Joseph seemed unaware of what Laura Quinn was planning and continued to greet some partners who showed up at the party with her.

While everyone was preoccupied, Kyle Keaton appeared outside a room in Marsden Estate.
