Chapter 62
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 62<\/p>\n
At Herbert\u2019s house, the lights were brightly lit.<\/p>\n
Peter got out from the car and staggered to the entrance.<\/p>\n
He was stopped by the maid who had informed her master about his arrival.<\/p>\n
Herbert came out in a short while, holding her belly. She was now pregnant for four months, and her belly grew larger.<\/p>\n
Looking at drunken Peter who fell on the ground, her heart ached.<\/p>\n
But in the end, she still didn\u2019t help him up.<\/p>\n
\u201cLeave now.\u201d She said in a cold voice.<\/p>\n
Peter raised his head, \u201cHerbert, please give me one more chance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Herbert turned around and instructed the maid, \u201cKick him out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kingston, Herbert\u2019s father, was standing in front of the French window, looking at Peter who was outside when Herbert came in.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, does it have to be like this?\u201d Her fragility was revealed from the bottom of her eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy daughter, that brat\u2019s such an asshole, I am doing this for your sake. If you don\u2019t push him to the corner, he won\u2019t focus on you and the Herbert group.\u201d Kingston said in a harsh tone, as he was aware of Peter\u2019s potential earlier on, but it was still far below his expectation.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we can\u2019t drag any longer, the baby\u2019s going to born,\u201d Herbert bit her lips, pressing her hand against her belly.<\/p>\n
The wedding had been postponed several times, her belly became larger and larger as time passed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen we\u2019ll wait until the baby is born, there\u2019s no need to rush.\u201d<\/p>\n
The next day, there\u2019s another headline about Peter on the press. Photos of Peter and Kathy cuddling at the dining bar were captured by the reporter, however, for this time, Kathy\u2019s face was revealed completely.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the news of Herbert doing pregnancy check-up at the hospital was exposed. The internet was full of voices of people who sided and pity of Herbert regarding this cheating scandal. Kathy was doxxed thoroughly, and soon she was recognized as the woman who had intimate relationship with Joseph.<\/p>\n
The name of \u201cKathy\u201d became an overnight sensation on the internet.<\/p>\n
At the old mansion of the Joseph\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
Kathy prepared to go to work. She received Alexia\u2019s call when she was having her breakfast. \u201cHurry up and watch the news!\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned and opened the browser with ease, photo of her face being magnified several times appeared.<\/p>\n
This photo was exactly the one which was secretly captured at the dining bar last night.<\/p>\n
Again together with Peter.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think I can go out today.\u201d Kathy\u2019s head was aching.<\/p>\n
She was not worried that she was doxxed, but she was afraid that it might affect her family.<\/p>\n
As she predicted, she received endless phone call from her mum, Angela.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, how dare you cheat on Joseph!\u201d Angela poured her anger towards Kathy without hiding.<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned and kept a distance with her phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy deeply understood that misfortune could happen regardless of how hard you tried to avoid.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s already published on the newspaper. I never thought that I would see my daughter in the newspaper in my lifetime. Did you have an affair with Peter? He\u2019s getting married soon. You just never changed\u2026\u201d Angela\u2019s fury surged through her.<\/p>\n
Why did it have to be Peter again?<\/p>\n
Kathy was burdened by him back then.<\/p>\n
\u201cMum, I didn\u2019t, I did meet Peter but we\u2019re over.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen what\u2019s going on now!\u201d<\/p>\n
The photos on the newspaper and internet were clear, Peter was embracing her, but she was struggling all the time, just that the photos were taken from different perspective as if they were hugging each other.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve have nothing to do with Peter.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why\u2019re you guys hugging each other?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s drunk.\u201d Kathy was tired of explaining, she felt like there\u2019s nothing she could do to clear her name.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid Joseph mention about divorcing with you?\u201d Angela asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho\u2019re you lying to? A woman like you, there\u2019s no telling how many men you\u2019ve secretly seduced\u2026\u201dJoanne\u2019s eyes narrowed.<\/p>\n
As soon as Joanne finished that sentence, she was slapped by Kathy.<\/p>\n
Anger welled up in her chest, Kathy gasped and her face was cold.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you done talking?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow dare you hit me, Kathy?! What nerve! You must be tired of living! I will report this to Johnson!\u201d Joanne stomped in anger and walked up to the President\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
Kathy\u2019s face was expressionless, Johnson is the President, not like he will give a damn about the gossips.<\/p>\n
After half an hour, Joanne came down from the President\u2019s office with a gloomy look. All the employees\u2019 mailboxes had received a notice stated that gossiping and personal attacks on employees were not allowed in the company, anyone who had violated would be fired.<\/p>\n
Immediately, no one dared to gossip about Kathy anymore, and many of them were afraid of Kathy.<\/p>\n
At noon, Alexia and Kathy had lunch at the canteen. Someone had prepared a seat especially for Kathy so no one else could disturb her.<\/p>\n
Was it arranged by Johnson?<\/p>\n
She knew that Johnson and Joseph were close friends, so perhaps it\u2019s Joseph\u2019s idea?<\/p>\n
Kathy was wondering, but Joseph did not contact her after half a day.<\/p>\n
Although he wasn\u2019t angry last night, she was still afraid that Joseph would misunderstand.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, you can carry on with your job without worries, Joseph\u2019s on your side, no one dare to talk nonsense anymore.\u201d Alexia gave her a hug.<\/p>\n
Kathy smiled at her, although this news was removed, but it had already spread throughout the whole City N.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would rather Johnson leave me alone. There\u2019ll be misunderstood again if he protected me.\u201d Kathy said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re an employee of the company, it\u2019s normal that the company supports you when you\u2019re treated unjustly, so don\u2019t think too much about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned. Meanwhile her stomach ached, she quickly rushed into the toilet.<\/p>\n
Alexia was worried as Kathy didn\u2019t come out until they off work. She went to toilet to look for her. \u201cBring me to the hospital.\u201d Kathy came out with the support of Alexia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-728","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/728","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=728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
