Chapter 171
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 171<\/p>\n
Edith shuddered and raised her head. Billy\u2019s deep gaze was as cold as ice.<\/p>\n
She smiled grimly. \u201cWhat are you talking about? Mr. Hilton?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou knew what I mean. If anything happens to Kathy, I\u2019ll not let you off easy,\u201d Billy said with a somber tone of voice.<\/p>\n
Edith snorted. \u201cI didn\u2019t know Mr. Hilton is fond of that kind of woman.\u201d<\/p>\n
Billy was expressionless. He knew Joseph would save her out after he entered, and he turned, preparing to leave.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s so good about Kathy? How could I be worse than her?\u201d Edith muttered. She started out to the balcony subconsciously having realized Joseph was coming out.<\/p>\n
Kathy was carried in Joseph\u2019s arms. She lowered her head and pulled his sleeve noticing she was being brought out of this dark place. \u201cAre you sure you want to take me out? The banquet outside is not yet over.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph did not reply. The emergency door was opened humbly by the manager and his courteous voice was heard. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, Mr. Joseph. I don\u2019t know who has locked the door and I\u2019ll check the surveillance footage this instant.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph gave a cold reply and he was about to emerge out of the corridor to the outside where a lavish banquet was organized. Quite many people had noticed the commotion and Kathy became the centre of attention at once.<\/p>\n
She pushed Joseph gently and said, \u201cMy legs are not numb anymore. Put me down, I can walk by myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph wrinkled his eyebrows and cruelty flashed across his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoseph! Let go of me! I don\u2019t want you carry me!\u201d Kathy lowered her voice and she refused to let Joseph touch her at all upon thinking of the scene which he was together with Edith.<\/p>\n
Joseph squinted. His threatening look made her shuddered, yet she was still bold enough to give him a bite on the shoulder. Joseph could not help but let her down at once. \u201cKathy Owens!\u201d Joseph went outraged and he rarely did so in front of her.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoseph, thank you for saving me just now, I\u2019ll not bother you now, as I shouldn\u2019t be here after all,\u201d Kathy said blandly and turned, heading towards the main entrance.<\/p>\n
It was at this moment Alexia ran excitedly towards her. She had overheard the conversation between Billy and Edith and knew it was Edith who trapped Kathy. She was so furious that she looked for her immediately and did not expect her to be just beside the swimming pool. She then seized the opportunity and pushed her into the pool.<\/p>\n
\u201cKate! I\u2019ve punished that woman!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d Kathy did not get her meaning.<\/p>\n
\u201cActually\u2026\u201d As Alexia was just about to speak, someone from the balcony yelled. \u201cMiss Wesley has fallen into the pool!\u201d<\/p>\n
Alexia gloated and spoke. \u201cLooks like there\u2019s gonna be a good show to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned. She looked at Alexia and lowered her voice. \u201cIt\u2019s you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course. That bitch dared to lock you up, therefore I certainly have to teach her some lessons,\u201d Alexia said with an exasperated look.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did you know it\u2019s her?\u201d Kathy asked doubtfully. She had thought of everyone yet she did not expect it was her.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re welcome. Since it was my husband who brought you to the banquet tonight, it\u2019s still his responsibility when something happens to you. I couldn\u2019t possibly place him in a difficult position, right?\u201d Kathy spoke blandly, clarifying her identity and also giving Edith an out at the same time with just a few words.<\/p>\n
Everyone at the scene had thought that Edith was having something with Joseph, and they finally understood when Mrs. Moore made her appearance now. Yet many people started to conjecture the married couple\u2019s relationship when Joseph did not bring his wife to attend the banquet but Edith instead.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen has Mrs. Moore started to care for me?\u201d Joseph put his hand on Kathy\u2019s slim waist and his thin lips almost pressed against her ear. She was still behaving gloomy towards him back then.<\/p>\n
\u201cIsn\u2019t that necessary?\u201d Kathy replied, still keeping a straight face.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Mr. Joseph is greatly satisfied.\u201d He curved his lips. He was extremely delighted when she addressed him as her husband just now.<\/p>\n
Matthew who had heard the commotion came too and he was slightly worried when he saw Edith fallen into the water. \u201cEdi, hurry up and go back to your room to change your clothes. Don\u2019t catch a cold.\u201d<\/p>\n
Edith stayed with the Moore family since young and she had a good relationship with Matthew. \u201cThanks for your care, grandpa.\u201d She nodded and left quickly under the crowd\u2019s weird look. Her steps halted for a moment when she passed by Kathy. Kathy turned her head away and smiled blandly.<\/p>\n
The guests all returned to the banquet hall when there was no more thing to see. Matthew glanced at his grandson and criticized him. \u201cJoseph, what have you done? How could you leave my granddaughter-in-law out? Luckily I have arrived\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandpa, it\u2019s not his fault, it\u2019s because I\u2019m busy with my work.\u201d Kathy explained as Joseph had invited her after all. It was just that she had refused.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, you don\u2019t have to defend him! Grandpa certainly has to support you when you suffer.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandpa, it\u2019s my fault.\u201d Joseph took the initiative to apologize as he was having a good mood. Even Matthew was surprised as his grandson was always proud and arrogant, and he had not heard a single apology from him until he was all grown up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-837","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/837","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=837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
