Chapter 200
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 200<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know his schedule.\u201d Kathy shook her head.<\/p>\n
Lincoln rubbed his chin with suspicion. She didn\u2019t know?<\/p>\n
He thought they were very close!<\/p>\n
\u201cHow about I tell you?\u201d Lincoln suddenly pursed his lips.<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned. Seeing Lincoln\u2019s evil expression, she looked away.<\/p>\n
Lincoln\u2019s face turned cold. This woman was always invulnerable like Joseph.<\/p>\n
Looking at Kathy, Lincoln said, \u201cCoincidentally, I have some business to deal with. Kathy, follow me.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, Lincoln told the woman by his side to go back. He pressed the button to the first floor again.<\/p>\n
Kathy paused for a moment. Lincoln was now her superior, she knew that. But he clearly had other intentions.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Fletcher, what is it?\u201d Kathy asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll know when we get there,\u201d Lincoln said in an irrefutable tone.<\/p>\n
Half an hour later, at City Club.<\/p>\n
The club was brightly lit at night. Its manager, who was at the entrance, greeted Lincoln politely. Obviously, he was a distinguished guest.<\/p>\n
Kathy walked behind Lincoln all the way through the luxurious gilded corridor to a private room at the end of it.<\/p>\n
Inside were a few men dressed in suits and shirts. As soon as Lincoln arrived, the middle seat was cleared and Kathy sat down beside Lincoln somewhat awkwardly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are all shareholders of HS Group. This is my assistant, Kathy,\u201d Lincoln briefly introduced.<\/p>\n
They were talking about business. Kathy didn\u2019t know much about the business world, and there was no need to keep records. So she just sat quietly by his side and drank.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, take a look at the wine we ordered. Why hasn\u2019t it been served yet?\u201d After a long while, Lincoln ordered.<\/p>\n
Kathy walked out. There were corridors on both her left and right. Which corridor did she walk through just now?<\/p>\n
There was no sign, so she paused. What she could do is choosing one randomly. Anyway, as long as she could see a waiter, it would be fine.<\/p>\n
After wandering around for a while, she didn\u2019t see anyone. She took a turn and saw two familiar people.<\/p>\n
Subconsciously, Kathy immediately retreated with violent heartbeats.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoseph, I didn\u2019t expect you could be so ruthless. You didn\u2019t even give me a way out, and you arranged my marriage so considerately.\u201d Edith looked at the man in front of him mockingly.<\/p>\n
She had loved him for so many years, and that was how he treated her.<\/p>\n
His heart was as hard as a rock.<\/p>\n
Joseph was expressionless as he said indifferently, \u201cI told you not to stay by my side.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou like Kathy so much and are so afraid of her misunderstanding? There is nothing between us!\u201d Edith was even angrier. For more than 20 years, she had never seen any woman by Joseph\u2019s side win his heart.<\/p>\n
Joseph even treated her with indifference, never crossing the bottom line.<\/p>\n
She thought he treated everyone like this.<\/p>\n
However, Kathy shattered all her expectations of Joseph.<\/p>\n
Joseph frowned coldly. \u201cI won\u2019t marry you even if she is not there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Edith couldn\u2019t help but stumble. His words crumbled her sensitive mind.<\/p>\n
Her tears gradually flowed out.<\/p>\n
Edith suddenly grabbed Joseph\u2019s arm in anger. She stood on tiptoe and looked at him dauntlessly. \u201cReally? We grew up together. Joseph, do you really have no feelings for me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Edith had risked everything. She was about to get married, but she still wanted to know his answer.<\/p>\n
His eyes were on Joseph.<\/p>\n
Joseph narrowed his eyes. Kathy was sitting two meters away from him. When she passed by just now, she simply ignored him.<\/p>\n
Kathy shook her head and sat quietly in a corner. Her mind was filled with images of Edith hugging Joseph, and she was unable to get rid of them.<\/p>\n
The others in the room left some time ago. Lincoln handed over a glass of wine and smiled. \u201cHave some?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy raised her eyes, and through the transparent wine glass, she met eyes of Joseph, who was sitting on the opposite sofa.<\/p>\n
She took it expressionlessly and drank it in one gulp.<\/p>\n
The bitter taste spread in her mouth, but it was not as bitter as the bitterness in her heart.<\/p>\n
Lincoln looked at her in astonishment. The alcohol was quite strong, yet Kathy drank all of it\u2026<\/p>\n
With his hair standing on end, he looked at Joseph.<\/p>\n
However, Joseph\u2019s attention was completely on Kathy.<\/p>\n
Did they quarrel?<\/p>\n
He finally realized that when those people were still in the private room just now, they didn\u2019t know that Joseph and Kathy were a couple.<\/p>\n
He cleared his throat and looked like he was about to slip away. \u201cIt\u2019s getting late. I should go back. Joseph, Kathy, you guys take your time \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
As soon as he finished speaking, he left extremely quickly, afraid that Joseph would hold him accountable.<\/p>\n
Kathy drank a glass of wine. Her cheeks were rosy and she was dizzy. She forced herself to open her eyes. In her blurry vision, the man opposite her seemed to have walked over.<\/p>\n
She smiled and said, \u201cJoseph\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
But there were no feelings in her words.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-866","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/866","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=866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
