Chapter 517
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 517<\/p>\n
“Quinn, get Ella.” Veronica looked at the man beside her.<\/p>\n
Quinn frowned and did not move at all, because he saw Joseph coming over.<\/p>\n
Ella broke free from his brother and ran to Joseph.<\/p>\n
“Joseph, trust me. I didn’t harm Grandpa….”<\/p>\n
Joseph’s face was tense as he stared at Ella and Reece.<\/p>\n
“Ella, let’s go home.” Reece came to Ella and held her shoulder, taking her away.<\/p>\n
Her eyes on Joseph, she wanted to grab him but couldn’t even reach his arm.<\/p>\n
Reece brought her into the car.<\/p>\n
Ella burst into tears. She stared at her brother and murmured, “Was it you?”<\/p>\n
Reece looked coldly at the building that was fading away from sight and smiled sinisterly. “So what?”<\/p>\n
In the next second, Ella’s hand came at his face, but he caught it.<\/p>\n
“Ella, don’t forget who you are,” Reece reminded her.<\/p>\n
“Mathew has been nice to me,” she muttered.<\/p>\n
“Mr Mathew is nice to you?” Reece sneered, “And I am not?”<\/p>\n
His eyes were dripping malice.<\/p>\n
Ella did not dare to look at him or speak.<\/p>\n
She twisted her fingers, looking ashen.<\/p>\n
“Veronica is suspecting us.”<\/p>\n
“So what? She doesn’t have proof.”<\/p>\n
“Reece, don’t hurt Mathew….”<\/p>\n
He cut her off quickly, “Ella, I want him dead.”<\/p>\n
Ella grew even more agitated when she saw his bloodthirsty eyes.<\/p>\n
She knew him well. No one was ever able to persuade him.<\/p>\n
In Joseph\u2019s residence.<\/p>\n
Joseph went straight to his grandfather’s room. The personal doctor was here but couldn’t help the unconscious Mathew.<\/p>\n
Joseph sat down. After examining Mathew, Joseph said in a deep voice, “The poison is spreading. We must get it out of his system now.”<\/p>\n
It took too long for the medicine to kick in, so Joseph asked the servants to bring over the acupuncture box.<\/p>\n
Half an hour later, he walked out with a gloomy face. Behind him was the trembling private doctor.<\/p>\n
“Joseph, how’s grandfather?” Veronica asked with concern.<\/p>\n
“He will wake up in an hour.” He heaved a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n
“You will get to the bottom of this, won’t you?” Veronica looked at him expectantly.<\/p>\n
“Of course.”<\/p>\n
The butler hurried over to report the news. He had found out the culprit, but the servant was killed in a car accident just now.<\/p>\n
“Joseph….” Veronica was more frightened.<\/p>\n
Apparently, someone was trying to cover up the truth.<\/p>\n
Joseph still looked aloof. He frowned and instructed the butler, “Look into everyone she has come into contact with, including her relatives.”<\/p>\n
“Yes.”<\/p>\n
“What did the police say about the car crash?”<\/p>\n
“They thought it was an accident,” the butler said in a deep voice.<\/p>\n
“Send me the driver’s information as well.”<\/p>\n
In the study, Joseph was lying on the sofa. The gentle light highlighted the chilliness about him.<\/p>\n
Between his slender fingertips was a cigarette butt, and he ground it into ashes. The air smelled like nicotine.<\/p>\n
Not long after, Quinn entered and sat down opposite him.<\/p>\n
“Who do you think it is?” Quinn asked.<\/p>\n
“Grandpa didn’t tell me he had any enemies.” Joseph frowned.<\/p>\n
“Veronica suspects Ella?”<\/p>\n
“Yes, do you think the Bridges did this?”<\/p>\n
“I can’t rule out that possibility, but even I can’t find much about them.”<\/p>\n
“No,” Joseph replied without hesitation.<\/p>\n
Mathew’s face dulled, and he didn’t know what to say.<\/p>\n
Joseph left the room but not the house.<\/p>\n
Joseph wanted to call Kathy but feared he would disturb her sleep this early in the morning.<\/p>\n
So, he waited until ten o’clock to call her.<\/p>\n
Without Joseph, Kathy did not sleep well. She touched her phone and said hoarsely, “What?”<\/p>\n
“Are you up?” Joseph’s magnetic voice rang out.<\/p>\n
“I’m about to….” Kathy lay on the edge of the bed and saw her handsome boyfriend in her head.<\/p>\n
“I’ll be back tonight. I still need to tie up some loose ends.”<\/p>\n
“Alright, is Grandpa okay?” Kathy asked with concern.<\/p>\n
After all, he was Joseph’s family. Although Mathew did not like her, Kathy was still concerned about him.<\/p>\n
“Yes, he has woken up. Don’t worry.”<\/p>\n
After hanging up the phone, Kathy sat up and soon received a call from Zofia.<\/p>\n
“Did something happen to Joseph’s family?”<\/p>\n
Veronica had mentioned it to Zofia but left out the details because she had been down. Zofia didn’t know the whole story.<\/p>\n
“Yes, it is Mathew.”<\/p>\n
“Then how is Joseph?” Zofia asked.<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned. “He is with Mathew in his family house. That’s all I know.”<\/p>\n
“Alright, I … I’m worried about Veronica.”<\/p>\n
“I haven’t gone there to check on her. I wonder if she is okay.”<\/p>\n
“I’ll call her again. The dormitory feels lonely without you….”<\/p>\n
“You will have new roommates soon,” Kathy comforted her helplessly.<\/p>\n
She also enjoyed living there with Zofia.<\/p>\n
“I have to wait for the new semester to begin…,” Zofia said sadly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1183","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1183","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=1183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
