Chapter 249
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 249<\/p>\n
\u201cMy dear fianc\u00e9e.\u201d<\/p>\n
There was still a little distance left from the gate of the manor when Bertie walked over.<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned and looked at him warily, \u201cSir, I told you I am not Sue.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bertie paid no attention to her words, instead he said, \u201cMy mother is here, Miss Sue. Would you not like to accompany me to meet her?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy looked up at him angrily, \u201cPlease stop harassing me. I don\u2019t know you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t cooperate with me in acting, you won\u2019t be able to leave tonight.\u201d Bertie approached her again and wrapped his long arms around her slender waist.<\/p>\n
She was wrapped in his embrace.<\/p>\n
Kathy was trembling from head to toe as she tried to push him away with all her power.<\/p>\n
Bertie didn\u2019t let go until the end.<\/p>\n
\u201cBertie, let me go!\u201d Kathy was furious.<\/p>\n
Bertie\u2019s thin lips curled into a smile as Kathy\u2019s scent made him even more reluctant to let go.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince you even know my name, why are you still saying you are not my fianc\u00e9e?\u201d Bertie narrowed his eyes.<\/p>\n
Kathy pursed her lips. She really couldn\u2019t understand why Bertie continuously thought of her as his fianc\u00e9e.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s impossible that you don\u2019t know. In any case, we are going to get married. This fact cannot be changed.\u201d Bertie said solemnly.<\/p>\n
Kathy kept her face calm. The only thing she knew was that Fletcher family did not approve of Lincoln and Sue being together.<\/p>\n
So, in order to separate the two, they arranged a marriage partner for Sue.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince we both can\u2019t refuse, why not work together?\u201d Bertie proposed.<\/p>\n
Besides them, John stood a little anxious. If his wife was involved with Bertie in some way, boss was going to be very angry.<\/p>\n
\u201cSir\u2026 I don\u2019t know what are you talking about!\u201d Kathy pushed him away.<\/p>\n
Bertie had always been a proud man and the women who wanted to get close to him were countless. He was accustomed to throwing himself at women again and again but this was the first time he was rejected.<\/p>\n
It was clearly written on her face that she was not interested in him.<\/p>\n
He frowned; his mood was ruined.<\/p>\n
He just wanted her to obey him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to disappoint my mother, Sue. Besides, if you had the power to say no to this marriage, you won\u2019t be here, right?\u201d Bertie said hitting his mark.<\/p>\n
Indeed, Sue was forced too.<\/p>\n
No one had a way out of this.<\/p>\n
However, she was just not Sue!<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Marshall, you have no shortage of women, why ask for trouble and be trapped in the cage of marriage. Sue will never agree to this marriage, you\u2019d better make other plans.\u201d<\/p>\n
She finished speaking coldly and walked out of the manor quickly.<\/p>\n
Bertie stared at her retreating back. His haughty temper never allowed for him to chase a woman.<\/p>\n
However, this one made him feel very strange.<\/p>\n
She was also quite different from the rumors.<\/p>\n
\u2026<\/p>\n
In the car, Joseph\u2019s sullenness increased as he held her hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you want to help Sue, call it a day.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI also don\u2019t plan to do anything anymore.\u201d Kathy knew that Joseph must have seen Bertie touch her.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave Sue and Mr. Lincoln already left?\u201d She asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, they went back to City N.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy aren\u2019t the members of the Fletcher family here?\u201d Kathy asked suspiciously.<\/p>\n
Since, Sue was going on a blind date tonight, the Fletcher family must have been keeping an eye on her.<\/p>\n
But all of this went so smoothly.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Lincoln had it arranged in advance; the Fletcher family hasn\u2019t arrived yet but it won\u2019t take long.\u201d Joseph said lightly.<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned in worry.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry too much about them, okay?\u201d Joseph hugged her affectionately.<\/p>\n
He knew that she had a good relationship with Sue, but he didn\u2019t want her to get involved in the Fletcher family\u2019s business.<\/p>\n
The old master of Fletcher family always had ruthless manners. If he knew that Kathy was meddling, he was not going to care for his image in the city.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
She looked at Joseph. Because she was going to Country C, Joseph had been accompanying her continuously. Thinking about this made her heart soft.<\/p>\n
Who made her like him.<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>\n
He hooked his thin lips into a smile, placed a hand on the back of her head and leaned in to kiss her deeply. Kathy stepped back subconsciously but he kept her in place with his hand and deepened the kiss.<\/p>\n
\u201cBastard!\u201d She cursed in rage.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis bastard behaves like a bastard only to you.\u201d Joseph\u2019s smile became deeper.<\/p>\n
Kathy was slightly embarrassed. Joseph looked so refined and self-restraint but sometimes he said things completely opposite to that.<\/p>\n
He really teased her sometimes.<\/p>\n
The person who came along for the meeting was Johnson. Recently NCHV Medical Company and Joseph Group were cooperating to investigate the cause of Sammy Champ\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
Although, NCHV Medical had released a statement claiming that the cause of Sammy\u2019s death had nothing to do with NCHV\u2019s drugs, the police still needed professionals to participate in the investigation and NCHV decided to be involved in it.<\/p>\n
At the present time, Johnson had already uncovered some clues; however, this matter was complicated and not that easy to investigate.<\/p>\n
Kathy mainly took notes of some key information. She initially doubted that Sammy must have taken some poisonous drugs.<\/p>\n
After the meeting, Johnson led the senior management team of NCHV Medical to leave, leaving only Kathy and Joseph behind in the office.<\/p>\n
Kathy was a little tired as she hadn\u2019t attended such a high-intensity meeting in a long time.<\/p>\n
Moreover, regarding Sammy\u2019s matter, she did not expect Joseph to take over the investigation.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoseph, why are you doing this?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs long as something involves you, I will always go to the bottom of it.\u201d Joseph held her hand.<\/p>\n
Before Peter slandered her again and again. He did not want her to be continuously suspected. If this matter was not investigated properly, Kathy was going to continue to be the suspect.<\/p>\n
Kathy\u2019s heart moved with emotions. When her thoughts cleared, she found Joseph\u2019s face extremely close to hers.<\/p>\n
She pushed him away subconsciously.<\/p>\n
But this time, she was pressed against the office desk by him, with nowhere to run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-915","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/915","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=915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
