Chapter 367
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 367<\/p>\n
At Ocean University.<\/p>\n
Kathy had just come back after a full day of classes. When she reached her dorm, she found half a dozen miscalls from Jennifer.<\/p>\n
\u201cMom?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBilly has come to. Do you want to come visit him?\u201d Jennifer couldn\u2019t hide the exhaustion in her voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I\u2019m not close with him anyways,\u201d Kathy said in an expressionless tone.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll right. Do you want to come over and have dinner together this weekend?\u201d Jennifer asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll have to check my schedule first,\u201d Kathy replied.<\/p>\n
Hung up the phone, Kathy headed into the ward.<\/p>\n
Done with the testimony, Billy decided to sue Veronica.<\/p>\n
Jennifer wanted to stop him. \u201cBilly, you hurt that girl yourself back then. Now you still want to get back on her?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLook what she did to me. You think I\u2019ll let her off? No, mom, I\u2019ll put her into jail. Only then will she learn the lesson.\u201d Billy said furiously.<\/p>\n
Back when Veronica beat him up, she was really trying to beat him to death.<\/p>\n
She will not let him off.<\/p>\n
He could only strike first and get the upper hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou will only get yourself in trouble with the Joseph family if you do this,\u201d Jennifer said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m already in bad terms with them anyways,\u201d Billy insisted.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m saying this for your own good. You know the situation Hilton Group is in right now. If you let Veronica off, maybe they won\u2019t come after you.\u201d Jennifer.<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, even if I let this slide, the Joseph family will definitely not let me off, they will only come at me harder.\u201d Billy.<\/p>\n
Jennifer fell silent. She understood they needed to bring this whole affair with Veronica to an end for everyone\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you really going to sue her?\u201d Jennifer.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes!\u201d Billy.<\/p>\n
The Joseph family soon find out about the lawsuit.<\/p>\n
Afternoon that day, Veronica was brought to the police station.<\/p>\n
Joseph rushed there immediately, but Veronica was already under a temporary detainment with no bailment allowed.<\/p>\n
Kathy only knew about this when she went over to Jennifer\u2019s for dinner.<\/p>\n
\u201cI tried to talk some sense into Billy, but he just won\u2019t listen to me.\u201d Jennifer sighed.<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t want the conflict between the Joseph and Hilton family to deepen any further, but it seemed no one was willing to back off in this war.<\/p>\n
\u201cWill Veronica be sentenced?\u201d Kathy was worried.<\/p>\n
Veronica had had some psychological health issues ever since she got hurt. She wouldn\u2019t be able to handle it if she was sentenced into prison.<\/p>\n
\u201cBilly has hired the best lawyer in town,\u201d Jennifer replied implicitly.<\/p>\n
Kathy understood what she meant.<\/p>\n
Billy was trying to put Veronica into jail for more than just a couple years.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did Billy do what he did to Veronica back then?\u201d Kathy asked nervously.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was drunk. He regretted it a lot, but he was about to inherit the Hilton\u2019s Group, so he couldn\u2019t bear to have any scandal. That\u2019s why the Hilton family suppressed the media, and the news didn\u2019t leak out. However, the Joseph family never forget about this affair.\u201d Jennifer sighed again.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Veronica is sentenced, what\u2019s coming for Billy won\u2019t be pretty.\u201d Kathy frowned.<\/p>\n
She knew Joseph would definitely seek vengeance for Veronica.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, but that kid is too stubborn, and I don\u2019t have the right to interfere in this matter,\u201d Jennifer replied.<\/p>\n
It was already in the late evening when Kathy left. Bertie, who had just got back, met Kathy and offered to send her back home,<\/p>\n
Kathy got into the car and didn\u2019t say a word.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t seem very well. What did you girls talk about?\u201d Bertie asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nothing.\u201d Kathy simply shook her head.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs it about Veronica?\u201d Bertie took a guess.<\/p>\n
He knew Kathy would care about whatever related to the Joseph family because of that man.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re thinking too much,\u201d Kathy replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, do we have to act so distant with each other?\u201d Bertie took a sudden brake on the car.<\/p>\n
Kathy stunned for a short moment and came back to her senses.<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry, I\u2019m just in a bad mood tonight.\u201d She forced a smile.<\/p>\n
Which she knew didn\u2019t look good at all.<\/p>\n
Bertie frowned and let out a deep sigh.<\/p>\n
When Zofia got back to the dorm, Kathy was just coming out of the bathroom, drying her hair with a towel.<\/p>\n
Kathy asked indifferently when she realized Veronica was nowhere in sight, \u201cIsn\u2019t she staying for the night?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe just went back,\u201d Zofia replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, do you know about Billy\u2019s current situation?\u201d after a short pause, Zofia asked.<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned. \u201cHe\u2019s still recovering. But he has a severe brain damage, perhaps it will take a while for him to recover fully.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCan you ask him to revoke the lawsuit?\u201d Zofia asked again.<\/p>\n
Kathy knew how Zofia was feeling. In fact, she didn\u2019t want Veronica to be sued too.<\/p>\n
But Jennifer told her today, Billy was determined to do this.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor now, that seems to be impossible,\u201d Kathy answered.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoseph will definitely work out a way for this,\u201d Zofia said firmly.<\/p>\n
Upon hearing this name, Kathy went into a short daze. It was Friday the next day, Joseph would probably show up to give his lecture.<\/p>\n
Since she didn\u2019t receive any notification about the class being canceled, and he was already discharged from the hospital.<\/p>\n
The next day, Kathy got up early and went to get her breakfast at the canteen.<\/p>\n
However, she was a slender figure surrounded by a small crowd in a distance.<\/p>\n
Even though she could only get the rear view of the figure, Kathy could tell it was Joseph.<\/p>\n
He came to the canteen?<\/p>\n
Would he be okay with the food being served here?<\/p>\n
Kathy decided to ignore it and went on to sit in the corner. But Joseph saw her.<\/p>\n
He walked across with long strides and sat down right in front of her. Kathy looked at him in a daze.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoseph, what are you doing?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cTaking my breakfast,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are plenty of seats over there!\u201d Kathy got a bit mad.<\/p>\n
She got uncomfortable with the way his fans looked over at them\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to take my breakfast with you,\u201d Joseph said in a soft and luring tone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1033","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
