Chapter 323
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 323<\/p>\n
Kathy went back to her room after she had dinner with Jennifer. She was still not used to staying here. After all, there was someone else that she didn\u2019t wish to see.<\/p>\n
After she showered, someone knocked on the door and Kathy peeked to see who it was and it was Billy.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s the matter?\u201d She asked coldly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe servant made some desserts.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not hungry.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen come out for a chat anyway.\u201d Billy frowned.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to bed, Mr. Hilton.\u201d She shut and locked the door after she said.<\/p>\n
Billy was outside and looked at the time, it was barely ten o\u2019clock\u2026<\/p>\n
But Kathy naturally couldn\u2019t sleep as it was still early. She read a book but her head was still thinking about what Herbert said just now.<\/p>\n
Even if the financial situation of the Joseph\u2019s Group wasn\u2019t healthy now, by selling the rights to their bestselling medicine, wouldn\u2019t it put itself in a more precarious predicament?<\/p>\n
She opened the news homepage and looked at the latest news regarding the Joseph\u2019s Group. The reputation of the Joseph\u2019s Group had been severely affected by the arrest of Macie. Today, a reporter came to interview Diego. Not only did he not defend Macie, but he confirmed her guilt, causing the Joseph\u2019s Group\u2019s reputation to be affected even more.<\/p>\n
Kathy didn\u2019t have a good impression of Diego. Furthermore, Joseph didn\u2019t seem to regard him as his father.<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t understand the complexity of the Joseph family.<\/p>\n
\u2026<\/p>\n
At the Joseph residence.<\/p>\n
Veronica was having dinner with his mother.<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, surely you didn\u2019t eat well in the police station,\u201d Veronica said with tears welling in her eyes.<\/p>\n
Macie was very calm, \u201cJoseph had made arrangements and I didn\u2019t have a difficult time in there.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMom\u2026\u201d Veronica sobbed.<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t remain calm when she thought about Sammy\u2019s court case next week and the chances of her mother getting sentenced were very high.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you crying? I don\u2019t regret my actions but I didn\u2019t expect Diego to find out about this.\u201d Macie said solemnly.<\/p>\n
The original clues that were linked to this case had been disproved but Diego was still able to find new clues. His influence in City N was indeed remarkable.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou shouldn\u2019t have taken revenge for me, Mom. Although I can\u2019t forget that incident, I certainly don\u2019t wish that it ended up like this.\u201d The person getting punished shouldn\u2019t be her mother!<\/p>\n
\u201cNow that Sammy is dead and Peter is in prison, the only person remaining scot-free is Billy. Mom can only help you to this extent. I won\u2019t let my daughter suffer injustice\u2026\u201d Macie murmured.<\/p>\n
Ever since Veronica\u2019s incident, she had thought about exacting revenge every day. How could she suffer such injustice as an eighteen-year-old girl?<\/p>\n
Veronica had been receiving psychiatric treatment and she had isolated herself all these years.<\/p>\n
But she had never given up the chance to eradicate Billy and all those who were involved in that incident!<\/p>\n
\u201cBut Mom, how can I be at peace when you are in prison. I\u2019ll get brother to think of something.\u201d Veronica shook her head. She must not let her mother be sentenced.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis time Diego wants me to be imprisoned. Then he can marry Nell, Veronica, I will definitely be sentenced and I am mentally prepared for it. I only didn\u2019t expect Diego to do this for the sake of that woman.\u201d Macie was absolutely disheartened.<\/p>\n
After all, they had once been deeply in love and that it could come to this extent now.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is a scoundrel. He doesn\u2019t have any status in the Joseph household. Grandfather also doesn\u2019t want to see him. Grandfather will not let him marry Nell. If he dared to, then I\u2019ll immediately kick up a fuss!\u201d Veronica said furiously.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t make matters worse. Stay by your brother\u2019s side and he will protect you. Don\u2019t get involved in the other family matters.\u201d Macie said sternly.<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t want Veronica to be involved in the conflict between the Joseph family brothers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always listen to brother but why isn\u2019t he back yet?\u201d Veronica realized that he was the one who picked mom up but she was the only one who came back.<\/p>\n
\u201cLooked like Joseph left with another woman. Was that his ex-wife?\u201d<\/p>\n
Although Macie had been overseas for many years, she always stays abreast with the matters of the Joseph family.<\/p>\n
She knew all about Joseph\u2019s marriage and divorce.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre the lawyers ready for the court hearing next week?\u201d She asked.<\/p>\n
Joseph nodded and frowned.<\/p>\n
\u2026<\/p>\n
Sammy\u2019s case will be heard in court a week later and Kathy was one of the witnesses and will also appear in court.<\/p>\n
The black Maybach had already stopped below the dormitory. Kathy frowned and did not get into the car.<\/p>\n
She walked as Joseph drove slowly beside her, attracting a lot of the surrounding attention.<\/p>\n
Not wanting more attention, Kathy took a deep breath and opened the front passenger door angrily.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoseph, why did you come?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTo pick you up,\u201d Joseph simply said.<\/p>\n
Kathy realized that Sammy\u2019s case involved the Joseph family and he had to attend as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t have to come specially to pick me up.\u201d She said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s on the way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned. The Joseph residence and Ocean University were on either side of the city.<\/p>\n
When she got into the car, Joseph pointed to the compartment.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave your breakfast.\u201d He said.<\/p>\n
Kathy saw that there were a sandwich and a packet of milk in the compartment.<\/p>\n
She hadn\u2019t eaten her breakfast and had planned to buy from the canteen.<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks.\u201d She said softly as she felt a warm sensation through her heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-989","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/989","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=989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
