Chapter 487
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 487<\/p>\n
The door was pushed open completely and Kathy could gradually clearly see Joseph’s full figure, until the sight of him was ingrained into Kathy’s eyes.<\/p>\n
He gazed her for an incredibly brief moment, but Kathy still managed to see his worry.<\/p>\n
It was more than enough.<\/p>\n
Joseph turned his gaze to Julian.<\/p>\n
“Tsk, you really are a member of the family to find this place so swiftly.” Julian moved to behind Kathy to keep a safe distance.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re not family anymore, Julian,\u201d Joseph briefly said.<\/p>\n
These words must have irked Julian; he began to shout uncontrollably, \u201cWho says I\u2019m not a member of the Joseph family! I\u2019m the son of Diego Joseph! My last name is Joseph! Even if I\u2019m an illegitimate child, I\u2019m still a member of the family!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJulian, just accept the facts; Diego is now in jail; your only supporting pillar is long gone.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo! Who says I have no support! Your woman is in my hands, Joseph; if you don\u2019t find a way to free me, don\u2019t expect her to live.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy was scared stiff; the cold gun on the side of her head made her subconsciously look up.<\/p>\n
The man standing before her was still dressed in his typical white clothes and black pants, with a cold expression on his face and radiating an aura of coldness.<\/p>\n
His sight was fixed on Kathy, staring at her deeply.<\/p>\n
His anger swelled and was slowly waiting to explode.<\/p>\n
Kathy slightly moved and regained composure; she wanted to break free from Julian\u2019s grasp, but the eminent danger of being shot made her afraid to move again.<\/p>\n
Even though she has lived for so many years, this was the first time that she has faced such a predicament. Right now, her eyes slowly began to turn red as she began to tear up; she was completely unable to control her emotions.<\/p>\n
She wasn\u2019t even scared prior to Joseph arrival, since she knew that he would come save her, so she didn\u2019t think the situation was that threatening. As long as Joseph was around, everything could be resolved, anything was possible.<\/p>\n
In her heart, he was always the strongest, most capable person.<\/p>\n
Except, right now, now that Joseph was actually here, she suddenly felt weak and helpless.<\/p>\n
Her fear and anxiety continuously kept coming forth; they were getting out of hand.<\/p>\n
Even though tears rolled down her face, she still didn\u2019t dare to budge; in her present state, Kathy could only look on at Joseph.<\/p>\n
He was her only hope.<\/p>\n
Julian laughed coldly, \u201cBrother, your most beloved woman is crying, yet you\u2019re still so calm. How do you do it?\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph didn\u2019t move; his fingers began to curl into a fist, and his gaze remained fixed on Kathy. He calmly said, \u201cLet her go, and I\u2019ll consider helping you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Julian kept smiling; in fact, he started to turn hysterical. He leaned his face so close to Kathy\u2019s face that he could practically kiss her, and said in a low voice, \u201cHey, looks like my brother really cares about you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy bit her lip and said nothing.<\/p>\n
Julian continued, \u201cIf he cares so much about you, then from now, I get the final word on everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Julian stared at Joseph and uttered each word slowly, \u201cBrother, who did you bring along?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou told me to come alone; do you see anyone else outside?\u201d<\/p>\n
The door was wide open; Julian could see that there was no one else outside.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t believe you!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSuit yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSince you\u2019re the head of the Group now, I want you to go turn yourself in. Say that it was you who embezzled those funds, not me!\u201d<\/p>\n
Julian\u2019s words harshly cut through the air; at that moment, it\u2019s as if time had halted.<\/p>\n
Kathy could lucidly hear her own heart beating erratically against her chest\u2026<\/p>\n
Julian wanted Joseph to take the fall for his crimes!<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t do it, Joseph.<\/p>\n
He was innocent to begin with; how could Julian\u2019s threats work against him.<\/p>\n
Kathy shook her head hard, and even her eyes were telling Joseph not to do it.<\/p>\n
She blinked; it seemed as if something flashed by the corner of her eye, some kind of fragment.<\/p>\n
She looked over in the direction from the corner of her eye, and saw a dark, protruding tube on the top right corner of the window!<\/p>\n
Her heartbeat began to beat quickly again.<\/p>\n
Behind her, Julian was nearly done counting down, \u201c3, 2\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
“I’ll turn myself in.”<\/p>\n
At the last second, Joseph finally spoke; his reply was like an arrow hitting bullseye, every detail was controlled exactly on point.<\/p>\n
Julian was about to turn mad, but Joseph\u2019s words snapped him out of it.<\/p>\n
His nerves and body took a while to recover; he was actually about to pull the trigger.<\/p>\n
Joseph repeated himself again in a cold tone, \u201cJulian, I\u2019ll go turn myself in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now, Julian clearly heard Joseph; having regained composure, Julian lowered his gun.<\/p>\n
He sneered coldly, \u201cI\u2019ve waited for you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Before he could finish, Julian fell down beside Kathy.<\/p>\n
The whole scene acted out in a split second, accurate and clean.<\/p>\n
Julian still had a hold on Kathy\u2019s neck, but she felt the grip gradually loosen, until at last, his hand fell to the side of her body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1153","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1153","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=1153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
