Jennifer pressed down between her eyebrows with fatigue.<\/p>\n<p>Billy paused for a moment. Suddenly, something flashed through his mind as he looked at his mother??s expression.<\/p>\n<p>However, he denied his guess at once.<\/p>\n<p>It was impossible.<\/p>\n<p>The next day, the Hiltons announced the cancellation of Billy??s engagement to Herbert, causing the share price of the Herbert??s group to plummet.<\/p>\n<p>Billy had just ended the meeting. Before he could return to his office, Herbert stopped him.<\/p>\n<p>??Sorry, Mr. Hilton, but I can??t stop Miss Herbert.??<\/p>\n<p>Billy narrowed his eyes and asked his secretary to leave.<\/p>\n<p>Herbert looked at the man with an indifferent expression. She thought that he finally did it.<\/p>\n<p>He maybe have been waiting for this day for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>??Billy, why don??t you discuss it with me in advance??? Herbert said angrily.<\/p>\n<p>Billy sat down elegantly on the sofa without casting a glance at Herbert.<\/p>\n<p>??Isn??t it good? I??ll let you go free,?? Billy said at will.<\/p>\n<p>??I want to be with you!?? Herbert approached, trying to hold Billy.<\/p>\n<p>But she was pushed away by him ruthlessly.<\/p>\n<p>A pile of photos were smashed into Herbert??s face. When she saw them, her face turned pale.<\/p>\n<p>In the photos, she and Peter were hugging and kissing in different occasions, such as in the mall, and in the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>How did he know?<\/p>\n<p>??Do you spy on me??? Herbert widened her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Billy did not answer, but she thought that he acquiesced it.<\/p>\n<p>These photos were enough to destroy her.<\/p>\n<p>??What do you want to do???<\/p>\n<p>Billy stared at her with a cold looking. ??Turn yourself in to the police.??<\/p>\n<p>??No.?? Herbert immediately shook her head.<\/p>\n<p>She had made someone her scapegoat. If she confessed, her previous testimony would be thrown out.<\/p>\n<p>??It had nothing to do with me.?? Herbert denied.<\/p>\n<p>??Do you think that even if I don??t investigate, Joseph will you let you go? When he takes an action, do you think you can still get out of prison??? Billy smiled coldly.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Herbert couldn??t support herself anymore and fell on the sofa in fear.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Joseph ??<\/p>\n<p>He definitely wanted to investigate Kathy??s matter.<\/p>\n<p>But she couldn??t turn herself in.<\/p>\n<p>??No! Billy, you said you would help me.?? Herbert staggered over, trying to grab Billy??s hand.<\/p>\n<p>He directly kicked her away, ??I will help you, as long as you behave yourself well. And, stay away from the women I love.??<\/p>\n<p>Herbert felt desperate when she heard the word ??the women I love??.<\/p>\n<p>She laughed at herself.<\/p>\n<p>??I??ll turn myself in, but can you protect my father??? Herbert pleaded.<\/p>\n<p>??What do you have to bargain with me??? Billy pinched Herbert??s chin with his slender fingers, and his tone was extremely cold.<\/p>\n<p>Herbert bit her lip, and hatred surged in her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>??Why do you all like Kathy? Why!?? Herbert couldn??t help but burst into cries.<\/p>\n<p>Billy??s eyes darkened.<\/p>\n<p>At first, he had only approached her because she was Mrs. Joseph, but later, he felt he couldn??t control his feelings anymore.<\/p>\n<p>He wanted her more and more.<\/p>\n<p>??I won??t let anything happen to the Herbert??s group. Your father has already planned to emigrate. He knows everything better than you,?? he said as he took a deep breath of cigarette.<\/p>\n<p>??Let me go!??<\/p>\n<p>??Let you go? Kathy, I really shouldn??t have let you off again and again. I should have killed you!?? Peter??s tone was very sinister.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy??s face was deathly pale. The car drove fast, and Peter??s eyes were filled with the intent to kill her.<\/p>\n<p>??A month ago, you arranged for someone to push me to the cliff, didn??t you??? Kathy glared at him.<\/p>\n<p>Peter narrowed his eyes coldly and did not deny it.<\/p>\n<p>??You and Herbert both want me dead,?? Kathy said confidently.<\/p>\n<p>That night, Herbert was also an accomplice, otherwise she wouldn??t have happened to get in that car.<\/p>\n<p>Peter wore a cold smile and said, ??Yes, Kathy, you must die. The incident five years ago is being investigated. You will kill me!??<\/p>\n<p>??Five years ago, why did you do this??? Kathy gave up struggling and an indifferent expression appeared on her face.<\/p>\n<p>At that time, she and Peter hadn??t broken up yet, but he had already conspired with Herbert to frame her.<\/p>\n<p>She didn??t understood why she would fell in love with him at that time.<\/p>\n<p>??I was threatened by Herbert. Kathy, I??m sorry, but I don??t regret it.??<\/p>\n<p>Kathy glared fiercely at the man. She raised her hand and slapped hard on his face.<\/p>\n<p>Peter did not dodge and stared at Kathy sinisterly.<\/p>\n<p>He tightened his grip on her neck. He could feel that her breathing was getting weaker and weaker.<\/p>\n<p>As long as Kathy died, he would have a chance to get off the hook.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing her slowly close her eyes, Peter trembled and finally let her go.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy had long lost her strength. She leaned against the back of the chair and tried her best to breathe.<\/p>\n<p>??Do you really want to kill me??? A cold smile curled the corners of her mouth. At that moment, she really thought that she was going to die.<\/p>\n<p>However, she was able to breathe again next moment.<\/p>\n<p>Peter narrowed his eyes and smashed his fist at the glass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-889","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/889","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=889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
