Chapter 234
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 234<\/p>\n
Three days later, the case of Boston University bribery officially came to trial.<\/p>\n
Joseph came over to accompany Kathy.<\/p>\n
The investigation of this case yielded a clear result. Kathy, sitting quietly on the witness stand, was indifferent to the gazes people cast on her.<\/p>\n
This case went to court because of her. Yet it had something to do with the corruption and bribery in universities, so many people were hostile to Kathy.<\/p>\n
Kathy lowered her eyes. She listened quietly to the judger\u2019s verdict.<\/p>\n
To her surprise, Herbert got the lightest sentence, one-year imprisonment, for her crime.<\/p>\n
Peter, on the contrary, was found guilty of damaging Kathy\u2019s reputation and defamation. All those teachers involved in the case got their due punishment.<\/p>\n
Peter was sentenced to thirty-year imprisonment. In the court, Kathy could clearly perceive Peter\u2019s eyes shooting at her with venom.<\/p>\n
She turned her head indifferently. It was time for her to leave the court.<\/p>\n
She did not have much objection to the court\u2019s verdict, because she believed the justice of law.<\/p>\n
Kathy left the witness stand, but Billy stopped her with his tall figure.<\/p>\n
\u201cAren\u2019t you curious about the reason why Peter was regarded as the chief plotter?\u201d Billy asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe police have investigated it clearly. The school teacher slandered me under his order. Isn\u2019t his punishment due?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat was Peter\u2019s motive for hurting you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBilly, what do you want to say?\u201d Kathy looked at him vigilantly.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeter has no support, so it\u2019s reasonable he was punished in this way. Yet how about Herbert?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf someone helps Herbert to reduce her penalty, it would be you, doesn\u2019t it?\u201d After all, the Herbert\u2019s group was merged into the Hilton\u2019s group. Besides, both families were kindred.<\/p>\n
Billy smiled and said, \u201cKathy, the man who can do anything in City N? Think about who he is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph.<\/p>\n
When the name popped out, Kathy was in a chaos.<\/p>\n
That was impossible.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n
Billy stopped when he ensured Kathy had the answer. He thrust his hands into pockets and spoke indifferently, \u201cI just warn you. Believe it or not, the fact is there. Anyway, I have no evidence to convince you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy stood in the corridor. Billy heaved out of sight.<\/p>\n
The chill in the corridor stung Kathy. She shook her head. No, she couldn\u2019t take Billy\u2019s words serious.<\/p>\n
However, the suspicion in her heart went rampant. All evidence was against Herbert, but Peter was arrested because of the same crime. Just now, the verdict was not in accordance with the police\u2019s findings. Kathy knew it.<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Joseph.\u201d Joseph\u2019s deep voice jolted Kathy out of her rumination. Then Joseph saw Kathy\u2019s pale face.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you tired?\u201d Joseph hugged her.<\/p>\n
Kathy did not reply but she suddenly pushed Joseph away fiercely.<\/p>\n
Joseph\u2019s eyes could chill people to death.<\/p>\n
Only then did Kathy realize that she overreacted.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d She nodded and dissimulated her feelings.<\/p>\n
Joseph didn\u2019t ask any further. He left with Kathy with one hand around Kathy\u2019s shoulder.<\/p>\n
However, Billy\u2019s words lingered in Kathy\u2019s mind for a long time.<\/p>\n
In Joseph Bay.<\/p>\n
Kathy was browsing the reports about today\u2019s case on the internet. Today, only some law violators of the case were sentenced. Many people were involved in this case, so the case was still under investigation.<\/p>\n
The reputation of Boston University plummeted.<\/p>\n
After all, Boston University was Kathy\u2019s alma mater; Kathy had more worries than disappointment.<\/p>\n
The following day, Kathy rushed to Boston University to get her diploma after she received a call from the president.<\/p>\n
Without the president\u2019s help, Kathy wouldn\u2019t have completed the defense of her dissertation so smoothly.<\/p>\n
Surely, to Kathy\u2019s knowledge, it was Joseph who helped her.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, sit down. Take it easy.\u201d In the office, the president said kindly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened in Boston University has been the hottest topic in the city. I\u2019m afraid I will resign soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy couldn\u2019t dodge his kiss. They kissed for a while before they could speak in a normal tone.<\/p>\n
Kathy said seriously, \u201cThe president told me to be careful in the future. Could it be that there lurk some dangers?\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing that, Joseph\u2019s eyes evinced a glimmer of chilly light.<\/p>\n
He said in a deep voice, \u201cThose who hurt you will get their due.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cReally?\u201d Kathy looked at Joseph\u2019s ebony eyes.<\/p>\n
Her tone was somewhat uncertain.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Mrs. Joseph\u2019s safety is my top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy was disquieted with Joseph\u2019s words.<\/p>\n
Joseph was always a mystery for her.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you decided which school you would apply?\u201d Joseph asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cOcean University. What do you think?\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph\u2019s complexion changed at Kathy\u2019s answer, but he concealed it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t interfere with your decision. However, I don\u2019t recommend that university to you. In my opinion, Northern University may be your best choice.\u201d<\/p>\n
Northern University and Ocean University both boasted their research institutes. Kathy also considered Northern University.<\/p>\n
However, if she chose Northern University, she had to leave this city. That was not her wish.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d Kathy asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat university has comprehensive strength. Anyway, it\u2019s up to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy hesitated when she heard Joseph\u2019s answer.<\/p>\n
However, she preferred Ocean University.<\/p>\n
In the end, Kathy applied for the graduate school in Ocean University.<\/p>\n
Joseph\u2019s displeasure wasn\u2019t unknown to Kathy. During that period, their relationship had undergone some subtle changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-900","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/900","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=900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
