My Sweetheart

Chapter 238 We Can’t Be Together in the Future

“It seems that you have a good relationship with Joseph.” There was a hint of mockery in Billy’s words.

Kathy could tell that he was mocking her.

“In my opinion, Angela will always be my mother. As for Mrs. Hilton, I might need some time to accept her as my biological mom,” Kathy said.

At least for now, she didn’t know how to face Jennifer.

“If you need someone to talk to, I’ll be there for you at any time.” Billy’s voice became a little gentler.

“Thank you, Billy.”

She never had any special feelings towards him.

But she remembered that he had helped her many times.

When Billy left, Joseph had just returned.

At the entrance of the elevator, they bumped into each other. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Mr. Hilton, did you come to look for my wife?” Joseph’s voice was cold.

“Yes. You should know her identity. She is my sister.”

“Did she accept that?” Joseph frowned.

“Sooner or later, she will accept me as her brother. Joseph, she is my family member.” His tone conveyed a warning.

With an indifferent look, Joseph said, “She is my wife. Billy, please remember that.”

After going back home, Joseph saw Kathy cooking in the kitchen.

After her resignation, she always cooked meals and her skills had gradually improved.

“You came back so early today?” Kathy looked at him in surprise.

Joseph usually got home late, so she had been used to cooking at night.

“Yes. I can’t wait to see you.” Joseph hugged her, with his chin resting on top of her head. His voice was gentle.

Kathy smiled, “You can see me every day.”

“That’s not enough.”

After turning her face to his side, he kissed her. Then he pushed her against the wall and gave her a more passionate kiss.

Kathy had always been unable to resist him, but the soup she cooked was about to overflow from the pot, so she had to push him away.

He put on a dissatisfied expression.

“Don’t disturb me. Can you go out?” Joseph was still kissing her on the back of her neck. How could she cook if this continued?

“Let me cook. You can go rest.”

“I’m almost done, so don’t cause me any trouble!” Kathy looked grave.

Joseph pinched her little nose dotingly and agreed with her.

In the living room, his phone rang. It was a call from John.

“Mr. Joseph, I’ve already had a thorough investigation into the Booths. The results have been sent to your email address.”

Joseph went to the study and browsed through the email. He put on a gloomy expression.

“Keep an eye on the Booths. If they take any action, let me know immediately.”

“OK, sir.”

…

There were still two months to go before the graduate entrance examination, and Kathy had been preparing for it wholeheartedly. Joseph also came back as early as possible to help Kathy with her study.

She was a quick learner, but after all, she had left school for almost four years. Therefore, she had to relearn a lot of knowledge.

In the evening, she received a phone call from Sue. Recently, the NCHV Medical Company had been cooperating with the Joseph’s Group. Sue would return to City N tomorrow, and she wanted to meet Kathy.

After staying at home for so many days, Kathy also wanted to relax, so she agreed. She would meet Sue at the downtown shopping mall

The NCHV Medical Company Pharmaceuticals was no longer under the control of the Joseph’s Group. It was now developing well in Country A.

However, the Joseph’s Group had invested a lot to support its operation.

“Does Lincoln know that you are back?” Kathy asked with concern.

“I came back secretly, but I’m going to the Joseph’s Group tomorrow. I’m afraid I can’t hide from him.”

“Johnson also came here, right?”

Sue shook her head. “He always goes to Country B on business recently. I don’t know what he’s doing. He also asked me to come back alone.”

“Country B?”

Alexia was in Country B.

Kathy was sure that Johnson didn’t come there to look for Alexia.

“Could it be possible that Johnson is in love?” Sue suddenly asked.

Kathy was stunned, and her expression changed.

“You’ve worked for NCHV for so many years. Don’t you know any gossips about Johnson? I heard from Lincoln that Johnson falls in love with a woman. Is that woman from NCHV?”

Kathy pursed her lips and nodded slowly.

“Do you think Johnson is busy dating?”

Sue nodded with certainty. “Otherwise, why does he always go to Country B? There’s no business there.”

“So who is that woman?”

“She’s a good friend of mine, but she’s already married. I’ve always hoped that Johnson would stop pestering her,” Kathy said disappointedly.

However, this was not the case in reality.

“What? A married woman? How could he be so shameless?” Sue’s face turned cold. “He used to hang out with other girls when he had a fiancée. It’s retribution that the woman he loves is married.”

“His engagement can’t be dissolved, right?”

“Of course not. It’s not something Johnson can decide. People in our social class have no right to choose their lifelong partners. This is also our misfortune,” Sue said with a sigh.

She had already accepted this fact.

However, she sometimes wanted to fight for her own fate, but the result was just even more depressing.

Kathy fell silent. She sympathized with Sue, but she couldn’t help her.

She had witnessed that Lincoln and Sue encountered many difficulties in their love. Only they themselves could solve the tricky problems.

“You also need to cheer up. Don’t give up so easily,” Kathy comforted her.

“I’ve already given up on him. We can’t be together in the future,” Sue said sullenly.

The outcome between her and Lincoln had long been determined.

Back at Joseph Bay, Kathy sent a message to Alexia.

During this period of time, they still kept in touch with each other, but they never talked about Johnson.

Thinking of Sue’s words today, Kathy was a little worried.

Not long after, Alexia called her.

“Kathy, I don’t want to lie to you. I’ve seen Johnson recently.”

“You…”

“We’re just ordinary friends. I’ve always known who I am.”

“Alexia, do you regret it?” Kathy asked her.

Alexia just kept silent.

Kathy had known her for many years, so she soon understood her feelings.

“There’s still time, but don’t hurt anyone else,” Kathy said with concern.

“I see. You should focus on preparing for the exam. Don’t worry about me. You must come and play with me after the exam, okay?”

“OK. I’ll definitely stay with you every day.”

“That’s a deal!”

After chatting for a while, Kathy continued to review.

Since she had been reviewing the courses of politics recently, she developed the habit of watching the news every day.

She saw a piece of news entitled “Kingston’s daughter Herbert had her sentence commuted and was about to be released from prison”.

Billy’s words suddenly occurred to her. Now that the Herberts had already lost their high social status, how could they be able to help Herbert commute her sentence?

Could it really be…?

Kathy shook her head. It was impossible for her to doubt Joseph.

She watched the news carefully, including every picture on it.

She scanned almost every piece of news, and then she fixed her eyes on one picture.

Herbert was getting on a Rolls-Royce. The license number on the photo had been pixelated, but she found a clearer one on the Internet.

She had seen this license number in the garage of the Joseph’s old mansion.

She suddenly became bitterly upset.
