Chapter 291
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 291<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandfather, I\u2019m afraid that I can\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know that in the next 3 years you want to continue with a post-graduate degree. When you are finished with your studies, you will succeed all the businesses of the Booth group.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zack didn\u2019t allow Kathy to decline.<\/p>\n
\u201cRest assured, Bertie will assist you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy pursed her lips. Bertie\u2026<\/p>\n
Once she walked grandfather back to his room, Kathy went down to the living room.<\/p>\n
Bertie came back without her noticing and stood behind her which startled her.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you so scared of me?\u201d Bertie raised his eyebrows.<\/p>\n
Kathy glared at him with disdain. \u201cDon\u2019t bother me.\u201d She wanted to be left alone.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did grandfather say to you?\u201d Bertie sat down beside her.<\/p>\n
Kathy pursed her lips and looked at Bertie who seemed to have keen insight into all matters.<\/p>\n
When she thought about having to learn from Bertie how to run a business \u2026 she felt truly repulsed!<\/p>\n
\u201cNone of your business.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bertie spoke for his own interests, \u201cLet me guess. Did he say that you are to learn from me at the Booth Group? After all, grandfather intends to hand over the Booth group to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy was deep in her thoughts.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t refuse, can you? Or do you want to hand over the Booth Group to me submissively?\u201d Bertie twitched his eyebrows.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn your dreams!\u201d Kathy retorted instantly.<\/p>\n
She pondered about her next three years of studying clinical medicine which had nothing to do with the business sector. If she can\u2019t become a doctor in the future, then what she will be studying for the next three years would be useless.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know what you are struggling with. That\u2019s why you can hand over the Booth Group to me and then just take the annual dividends.\u201d Bertie said.<\/p>\n
Kathy was unfamiliar with Bertie\u2019s capabilities.<\/p>\n
He looked to be barely thirty years old and had earlier succeeded Marshall Group and Booth Group was only another portion of his portfolio.<\/p>\n
Why did Zack trust him so much?<\/p>\n
Kathy can\u2019t help but look at Bertie. This man\u2019s steadfastness and maturity were unquestionable but, in her opinion, he lacked personality.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the way you are looking at me, I will feel that you have fallen for me,\u201d Bertie smirked.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn your dreams, I\u2019m not blind.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandfather\u2019s time is limited and you had better think carefully. But then again, you no longer have any choice.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bertie laughed, \u201cActually, do you want to consider divorcing Joseph and get married to me? Then I can help you manage the Booth Group properly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy, \u201c\u2026 Shameless.\u201d She went back to her room thereafter.<\/p>\n
Bertie narrowed his eyes sinisterly and went to look for Zack.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandpa, I can\u2019t convince your granddaughter. She really likes Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe can\u2019t remain together with Joseph. Bertie, even with unscrupulous means, you must get them to divorce.\u201d Zack said angrily.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandpa, what suggestions do you have?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis Sunday is my birthday celebration. Spend the night with my granddaughter in the same room and I\u2019ll get the reporters in on the next day!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut what if Kathy refuses to?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou just shut her up!\u201d<\/p>\n
Bertie laughed at the thought and found it exciting.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandfather, since you don\u2019t accept Joseph, then why did you allow them to be married?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere were too many incidents at the wedding. I originally thought that my granddaughter would be blissful being married to Joseph but I was wrong. She would encounter countless dangers being with that man. My time is limited and I must make arrangements for my granddaughter\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bertie frowned. Indeed Kathy\u2019s status was awkward. She was also considered a member of the Hilton family. But the Joseph family and the Hilton family had long been in a conflict.<\/p>\n
What happens in the future will also affect Kathy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI knew you since you were young. Bertie, I trust you and I can see that you like my granddaughter very much.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandpa, I do like her but she doesn\u2019t like me.\u201d<\/p>\n
This woman\u2019s heart was cold as ice.<\/p>\n
He felt that Joseph wasn\u2019t any better than him and he felt that he was more suitable for her.<\/p>\n
\u201cI suspect that Joseph knew about her identity before he married her. You must tell her this and not let her continue to be fooled by Joseph!\u201d<\/p>\n
He knew her condition.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope that you back out of the Booth Group research and development project.\u201d Joseph went straight to the point.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d Edith was stunned and didn\u2019t expect Joseph to say this.<\/p>\n
But the research and development were at its final stages. Although there were some issues, she was confident that they would be resolved.<\/p>\n
\u201cBased on your current mental state, the Booth Group will not agree to let you complete this project,\u201d Joseph said.<\/p>\n
Now Bertie had already made arrangements for other R&D experts to take over.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy mental state is fine\u2026 hang on, Joseph, are you concerned for me?\u201d Edith asked anxiously.<\/p>\n
It had been ages since they chatted in such a calm manner.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, grandfather doesn\u2019t wish for anything to happen to you,\u201d Joseph said.<\/p>\n
Mathew already heard about this incident and he knew that Joseph is at City N and instructed Joseph to take good care of Edith.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandfather, so it\u2019s grandfather.\u201d Edith laughed sarcastically.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo not get involved with Booth Group\u2019s project, listen to me,\u201d Joseph said sternly.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you seen the report that I sent to you? I encountered some problems.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph frowned when he heard her.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve said all that I needed to.\u201d Joseph didn\u2019t reply and left quickly thereafter.<\/p>\n
Edith frowned and couldn\u2019t understand why Joseph insisted on her to back out of the project.<\/p>\n
But very soon she received a call from Bertie. Because of her medical condition, he had already arranged for other researchers to take over and all Edith needed to do was to have a proper handover.<\/p>\n
As to the subsequent issues, the Booth Group had full control over the R&D project and was of no concern to Edith.<\/p>\n
That meant that they wanted to totally undermine her as an investor.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy? I\u2019m totally fine and can be discharged from the hospital today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bertie said plainly, \u201cYou harmed Kathy. Do you think that Old master Booth will agree to let you remain?\u201d<\/p>\n
Edith\u2019s expression froze, Kathy\u2026 because of her again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-957","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/957","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=957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
