Chapter 69
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 69<\/p>\n
At Herbert\u2019s house, Peter\u2019s face darkened when he listened to the lawyer\u2019s words.<\/p>\n
Apologized publicly?<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t just humiliating him but also disgraced the Herbert\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeter Champs, settle your own mess, don\u2019t involve the Herbert\u2019s family!\u201d Kingston shouted.<\/p>\n
Herbert tried to calm her father and led him to go upstairs. When she came down, she saw Peter smoking.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt took me a hard time to change my father\u2019s view on you, but now it is now back to square.\u201d Herbert frowned.<\/p>\n
Peter had just openly accused Kathy, but now he was forced to apologize to her.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany shareholders have complained lately too, Peter, figure it out yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Herbert.\u201dPeter held Herbert\u2019s hand, his eyebrows knitted.<\/p>\n
If he didn\u2019t accept Kathy\u2019s conditions, Sammy would be sued and might have to go to jail.<\/p>\n
However, he had made his decision.<\/p>\n
Two days later, Peter gave his reply, he rejected Kathy\u2019s conditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo now we have to proceed with the legal action?\u201d Kathy asked the lawyer.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes. Mr. Peter replied that he is after all a well-known person, it is impossible for him to apologize publicly, and also the compensation amount is way too much.\u201dThe lawyer relayed Peter\u2019s message frankly.<\/p>\n
Kathy\u2019s eyebrows twitched, his own reputation and money were already more important than his own family from the bottom of his heart.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen let\u2019s deal it legally.\u201d<\/p>\n
At noon, Kathy accompanied Joseph to the hospital for a follow-up visit.<\/p>\n
Lily disguised as a nurse when she knew that Joseph would come to the hospital.<\/p>\n
After done changing his bandage, Joseph bumped into Lily who was blocking his way, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled.<\/p>\n
\u201cLily Smith.\u201d Joseph\u2019s tone was extremely cold, Lily trembled out of fear.<\/p>\n
\u201cDr Joseph, I am just too worried about you. You don\u2019t let me to come to the hospital. I can only disguise and sneak in.\u201d Lily gave her a pity look.<\/p>\n
But Joseph wasn\u2019t moved at all.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened to your hand? How did you get hurt? Is it serious?\u201d Lily asked him anxiously and was about to grab his hand.<\/p>\n
Joseph blocked her with an expressionless face and didn\u2019t answer her.<\/p>\n
Lily was frustrated, she just didn\u2019t want to take it this way although Joseph was mean to her.<\/p>\n
The scene of Lily standing behind Joseph, disguising as a nurse but with a crying face was seen by Kathy who came over after getting his prescription.<\/p>\n
\u201cShouldn\u2019t you look after of your patient?\u201d Kathy asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe is not my patient now.\u201d Joseph said with a deep voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cDr Joseph, can you attend my 20th birthday dinner in next month?\u201d Lily ran over and handed Joseph an invitation card.<\/p>\n
Joseph didn\u2019t take it, Lily diverted her target to Kathy,\u201d Kathy, please come with Dr Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is up to Dr Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not going.\u201d Joseph rejected her straight away and left the hospital with Kathy.<\/p>\n
Lily sulked, she ran over and shoved the invitation card into Kathy\u2019s arms, winking at her, \u201cSis, please don\u2019t stand me up yea!\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy was speechless.<\/p>\n
Sitting in the car, Kathy looked at the invitation card, it was hand-made by Lily. She thought that Lily only invited Joseph, but her name was written on it as well.<\/p>\n
It looked like Lily had put a lot of effort on it.<\/p>\n
\u201cReally not going?\u201d Kathy asked.<\/p>\n
She was kind of pity of the young Lily who was hurt by Joseph over and over.<\/p>\n
Moreover, Joseph and Lily might be a good match.<\/p>\n
But why did she seem a little reluctant.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you wish me to go?\u201d Joseph turned to her, his eyes were dark and deep.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe you can try to go out with her.\u201d Kathy said in a faint voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cJohnson must be blind to be fooled by that woman.\u201d Alexia\u2019s tone went cold.<\/p>\n
Kathy noticed that Alexia was unusual as she wasn\u2019t the type who got irritated easily, unless it was someone\u2026 she cared about.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you jealous?\u201d Kathy suddenly laughed out.<\/p>\n
It wouldn\u2019t be strange that Alexia was into Johnson as she had been single for quite some time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t! Kathy, what heck are you talking about!\u201d Alexia refuted immediately, but her face were blushed.<\/p>\n
Johnson saw Kathy and walked towards her.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, come with me to a dinner party tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, aren\u2019t I still under suspension?\u201d Kathy was confused.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you are not yet resigned, aren\u2019t you?\u201d Johnson said in a deep voice.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no way Kathy could reject since it was instructed by her superior.<\/p>\n
Alexia kept holding onto Kathy\u2019s arm, glaring at Johnson indignantly, but it was simply ignored by Johnson.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy\u2019s can\u2019t drink, I\u2019m going to.\u201d Alexia suddenly said.<\/p>\n
Upon hearing that, Johnson paused and looked at Alexia with an inscrutable gaze.<\/p>\n
He nodded after a while.<\/p>\n
When they entered the elevator, Joanne couldn\u2019t help but speak, \u201cMr Johnson, what kind of dinner party is it tonight? Why did you need to bring Kathy and Alexia along?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou talk too much.\u201d Johnson answered coldly.<\/p>\n
Joanne didn\u2019t dare to make a sound, yet she was perturbed.<\/p>\n
In the evening, Kathy and Alexia came to a clubhouse together with Johnson. Smell of smoke and alcohol lingered in the air, Kathy was a little uncomfortable.<\/p>\n
She usually didn\u2019t need to socialize, and this was her first time here.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Alexia was at ease, she pulled along Kathy and kept glaring at Joanne who was beside Johnson.<\/p>\n
Kathy was stiffened when she walked into the private room. She didn\u2019t expect that Joseph would be there as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-735","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/735","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=735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
