Chapter 284
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 284<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides, isn\u2019t Mr Bertie working on Booth Group\u2018s affairs? Wasn\u2019t my grandpa training you to become his successor?\u201d Kathy asked calmly.<\/p>\n
Bertie Marshall raised his eyebrows, \u201cWow, I didn\u2019t know that you are paying so much attention on me. Indeed, your grandfather had the intention. But then, he called you back. It seemed like I had to give way.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides, we would be married if I was in charge of Booth Group.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re crazy\u201d. Kathy said coldly.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything is possible.\u201d Bertie laughed heartily and said.<\/p>\n
After leaving the building, Kathy was confused.<\/p>\n
Could all of this mess be prevented if she hadn\u2019t come to Country B?<\/p>\n
Even if she had a second chance, she would still come to Country B as she was worried about her grandfather\u2019s health.<\/p>\n
Returning to the the Booth family, Kathy reported her job on that day to her grandfather.<\/p>\n
She hesitated upon speaking when she thought about what Bertie said.<\/p>\n
Zack Booth figured out what Kathy was thinking, \u201cIs there anything you want to tell grandpa?\u201d he frowned and asked.<\/p>\n
Kathy shook her head as she refused to believe what Bertie had told her.<\/p>\n
Besides, grandpa might be emotional again if she mentioned about Booth Group<\/p>\n
\u201cRest well, grandpa.\u201d<\/p>\n
As she left the room, she had a phone call from Joseph.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you back home?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I\u2019m at the Booth family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy looked at her watch, it was 6 o\u2019clock.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t have to wait for me tonight, I\u2019ll be home late.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHmm, what are you busy about?\u201d asked Kathy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a transnational meeting to attend to later.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay then, don\u2019t forget to have your dinner. I\u2019ll wait for you if it\u2019s not too late.\u201d<\/p>\n
As Kathy hung the phone, Bertie appeared behind her.<\/p>\n
It seemed like she hadn\u2019t adapted to live together with Bertie.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s late now, why don\u2019t we cook together so that everyone can have their meals on time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned as the maid that went on a vacation has not returned yet.<\/p>\n
If that continued, wouldn\u2019t she have to cook with Bertie every day?<\/p>\n
Kathy didn\u2019t mind cooking for everyone; she just hated the feeling when she was with Bertie.<\/p>\n
As if she knew what Kathy was thinking, \u201cIt\u2019s ok if you don\u2019t want to, I was just asking. I can cook by myself if you\u2019re not hungry.\u201d said Bertie.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll help\u201d, said Kathy.<\/p>\n
Bertie smiled.<\/p>\n
Kathy then realized that Jennifer Booth had a dinner plan only when they had finished preparing dinner.<\/p>\n
Kathy brought porridge to her grandpa as he could only have soft food. After that, it was only her and Bertie by the dinner table.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow was your time in the lab today?\u201d asked Bertie.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, it was fine.\u201d answered Kathy.<\/p>\n
She was adapting well. Besides, the intensity of her work wasn\u2019t high today, that\u2019s why she wasn\u2019t that tired.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be working there recently, feel free to call me if you need anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy was Edith Wesley selected for this project?\u201d Kathy suddenly asked.<\/p>\n
Edith was married to the famous chief, Conor Nicholson. He even started a company for her.<\/p>\n
But the company wasn\u2019t very well known since it was a newly established company.<\/p>\n
\u201cEdith\u2019s company is also an investor in the drug HIOD. You should know that Booth Group requires her research and development skills as she has been a well-known professor in the medical field.\u201d Bertie said.<\/p>\n
Kathy wasn\u2019t surprised by what Bertie said.<\/p>\n
Thinking about how Edith had set her up in the past, Kathy felt uncomfortable about working with Edith.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have a problem with her?\u201d Bertie asked as he sensed something wasn\u2019t right.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, there are some conflicts between us.\u201d answered Kathy.<\/p>\n
Joseph had kicked her out of City N three months ago and forbade her from returning. Edith must be furious because of that.<\/p>\n
It was not safe to take a cab at this hour.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet her in\u201d.<\/p>\n
Edith couldn\u2019t hide her happiness, but as soon as she entered the car, she became nervous.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoseph, I want to apologize for what happened before. Can we go back to what we were before?” Edith looked at him feverishly.<\/p>\n
She wasn\u2019t hoping to get any closer with Joseph as she understood how he felt for Kathy.<\/p>\n
Although unwilling, she could only accept reality.<\/p>\n
\u201cEdith, our relationship has always been siblings, you\u2019ll always be my sister, but the condition is you must not go overboard.\u201d Joseph frowned.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be out of trouble, trust me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHmm.\u201d Joseph tiredly shut his eyes, not knowing if he really believed what Edith said.<\/p>\n
Edith was depressed and disappointed.<\/p>\n
As the car approached the Hunt family\uff0cEdith was heart-broken when she left the car.<\/p>\n
Her love towards Joseph was strong that it had already rooted in her heart. As a result, she became jealous.<\/p>\n
In the living room, Conor was on the couch. He looked at the cameras by the doorway.<\/p>\n
The man saw her getting out of Joseph\u2019s car.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs Joseph in Country B?\u201d Conor sounded calm.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you go to find him?\u201d Conor narrowed his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, we just met on the way back.\u201d Edith evaded.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs it?\u201d Conor said with much doubt.<\/p>\n
\u201cBelieve whatever you want.\u201d She quickly went to her room after speaking.<\/p>\n
As the doors closed, Conor grabbed Edith\u2019s chin and warned her, \u201cNever get near Joseph anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRelax, I know that I\u2019m Mrs. Nicholson.\u201d Edith smiled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-950","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/950","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=950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
