Chapter 424
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 424<\/p>\n
\u201cTen years ago, he pushed our mother off the eightieth floor with his own hands,\u201d Joseph spat word by word, as murder slowly spread through his eyes.<\/p>\n
Kathy was completely thunderstruck this time. Even as she thought about that scene, she felt horrible.<\/p>\n
That was his birth mother, how could Julian do that!<\/p>\n
How could he be so cruel!<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw it with my own eyes but I couldn\u2019t stop him,\u201d Joseph voice was tainted with pain.<\/p>\n
Kathy heart ached and she hugged Joseph on her own accord, she should not have brought this up.<\/p>\n
This was Joseph\u2019s nightmare.<\/p>\n
He did not want to remember it for all his life, yet he must remember.<\/p>\n
Only then could he avenge his mother!<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s over now Joseph, Julian will be punished,\u201d Kathy mumbled.<\/p>\n
She felt horrible too, thinking that twenty years ago, Joseph was merely a child.<\/p>\n
Yet he saw a scene like this with his own eyes, his mother was murdered before him\u2026<\/p>\n
If she had faced this, it would have been the pain that she could not handle in her life.<\/p>\n
She could not help but cry silently, as her heart ached.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d Joseph\u2019s emotions calmed down fast.<\/p>\n
Before meeting Kathy, these scenes appeared in his dreams every night.<\/p>\n
But then she came to be by his side.<\/p>\n
He finally could have her.<\/p>\n
Lifting her chin, he kissed away her tears lightly, carefully. She was the person he loved the most.<\/p>\n
She was the apple of his eye.<\/p>\n
He could not bear to see her cry.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t cry, alright?\u201d His scratchy voice resonated in her ear.<\/p>\n
Kathy nodded, she would not cry.<\/p>\n
Her moist eyes looked at Joseph as she held onto his face, \u201cJoseph, I\u2019ll always be by your side when you\u2019re feeling down afterwards.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph replied her with a deep kiss.<\/p>\n
He held onto her tightly, his force was as if trying to mould her into his bones.<\/p>\n
\u2026<\/p>\n
The Booth Mansion.<\/p>\n
Jennifer had just come back from the Booth group, when there was a familiar figure sitting in the living room.<\/p>\n
She halted in her footsteps as she raised her eyes, looking at Billy in surprise.<\/p>\n
He was wanted by the whole city, yet he dared to come back!<\/p>\n
Jennifer was furious, but looking at Billy\u2019s helpless demeanour, she could not bear it.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou shouldn\u2019t be here, Billy,\u201d Jennifer looked at him coldly.<\/p>\n
Billy laughed coldly, he no longer had his previous proud stature now. His shirt was wrinkled, the beard on his face was not cleaned for a long time.<\/p>\n
He was extremely disgraced.<\/p>\n
\u201cMum, I\u2019ve been by your side for so many years. Can you really bear to watch as I\u2019m sent to prison?\u201d<\/p>\n
Billy roared, his eyes filled completely with hate.<\/p>\n
Jennifer pursed her lips, it would be false if she had not softened.<\/p>\n
But now, Billy already had no other options.<\/p>\n
\u201cI warned you, you\u2019re no match for Joseph,\u201d Jennifer sighed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was framed!\u201d Billy shouted in a craze.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou did break the law,\u201d Jennifer frowned.<\/p>\n
Billy\u2019s face was taut, \u201cThat was Joseph who forced me to! Or else there won\u2019t be any investors to invest in the Hilton group. Mum, this was because you didn\u2019t help the Hilton group!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jennifer lowered her eyes as she sat on the couch, her face became pale.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you want?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHelp me to leave City N.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJoseph\u2019s influence is all over the city, I can\u2019t do so.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cReally?\u201d<\/p>\n
The next second, Billy actually took out a knife and he shot towards Jennifer, holding her down. The edge of the knife was held against Jennifer\u2019s throat.<\/p>\n
\u201cMum, I want to leave City N!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jennifer was still rather calm as usual. Billy was a child that she had taught, and she admitted that it was due to her negligence in teaching that caused him to become like he was today.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, wait for me here, I\u2019ll arrange now.\u201d<\/p>\n
At this moment, Bertie\u2019s assistant knocked on the door from outside.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Marshall, news just came by, Billy was already arrested.\u201d<\/p>\n
As he heard this, Bertie heaved a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n
Jennifer must have tipped the police off.<\/p>\n
\u201cKeep a tight watch on Billy,\u201d Bertie ordered.<\/p>\n
Kathy was worried about Jennifer, she did not want to know how Billy was.<\/p>\n
Not long after, Jennifer came to the hospital. Kathy went to the consultation room under the company of Bertie.<\/p>\n
\u201cMum!\u201d Seeing the blood on Jennifer\u2019s neck, Kathy was even more worried.<\/p>\n
The doctor handled it fast and stopped the bleeding, but Jennifer\u2019s face was still very pale.<\/p>\n
Kathy held onto her hand, she felt clearly that her mother was shaking.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s alright, mum.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve made you worried, Kathy,\u201d Jennifer smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did Billy get into the Booth mansion?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe must have broken the curfew to get in, and also calculated that I would go back at that time. He must have been arrested now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs Booth, Billy has already been arrested. The police have confirmed that he cannot be bailed out, you can relax,\u201d Bertie replied from the side.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t expect that he would hate me so much,\u201d said Jennifer silently.<\/p>\n
Thinking of the hatred when Billy was threatening her, her heart still ached a little.<\/p>\n
This child had been under her care since young, naturally she would care.<\/p>\n
Just that for his personality to become like this, it somewhat had something to do with her.<\/p>\n
Kathy held onto her mother\u2019s shaking hands and comforted, \u201cSince Billy broke the law, it would be a wrong choice by his own.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen he did something like that to Veronica, I shouldn\u2019t have tolerated him,\u201d Jennifer shook her head in disappointment.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t put the blame on yourself, Mrs. Booth. It\u2019s over now,\u201d Bertie too replied.<\/p>\n
Not far away, Joseph looked at the trio from afar. This scene was too much like a family.<\/p>\n
His expression tightened and was extremely dark.<\/p>\n
After a while, he returned to his own office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1090","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1090","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=1090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
