My Sweetheart novel Chapter 245

Kathy smiled, the answer she got was the answer she expected.

But hearing it directly made her terribly uncomfortable.

“Then don’t treat me so nicely, alright?” Kathy asked in a soft voice.

Didn’t he know that she would step right into his trap like that?

She wasn’t like him.

Joseph squinted his eyes, there was an obscure look in his eyes.

“I’ll allow you to fall in love with me.”

He said in a deep voice after staying silent for a while.

Kathy looked up, her eyes were red.

How about him?

Well, the truth could already be found in his answer.

“I don’t like you,” answered Kathy coldly as she took a deep breath.

“Mrs. Joseph, you are the only person that I’ll be nice to. This is my promise to you.” Joseph then kissed Kathy on the lips.

He was so gentle, yet so lethal.

Kathy pushed him away coldly.

She was back in Joseph bay again, everything was still as familiar and nothing had changed.

But this time her state of mind had been turned upside down.

Kathy felt relief the next day as Joseph had to go on a business trip.

Sue was looking into some matters for Kathy in City N, but there was no outcome.

The fact that the Fletcher family couldn’t find dirt on the incident could only mean that the person behind Herbert, was somebody even more powerful and mysterious than the Fletchers.

“Let’s go shopping nearby, it’s not good for you to stay home all day and not leave the house,” said Sue to Kathy as she came by.

Kathy accepted the suggestion happily, she would love to go out and shop. It was just that she was preparing for the exam for so long, her studious mood was still there, and she was used to be reading all the time.

Sue was a pretty woman and she had very refined makeup on. She turned many heads at the shopping district.

But it seemed like she was used to attracting attention.

She brought Kathy to a few boutiques. She was a VIP at the shops and the salesperson welcomed them with a very warm attitude.

Kathy usually shopped online to fulfil her every need. She had not been to shopping for a long time ever since Alexia left City N.

Sue looked at what Kathy was wearing, and she frowned.

She pulled Kathy to her side, grabbed a few dresses, and gave it to her.

“Try them on one by one and show them to me.”

Kathy was a bit reluctant.

The dresses were all rather short and had spaghetti straps. She never owned a dress like this before.

“Kathy, you shouldn’t always dress so simply and casually. As women, we should show off our figure when we can.” Sue winked at her.

“Well, I don’t have a good figure.” Kathy grimaced.

Sue had a great set of boobs and a nice butt, she was also tall. Her body type was superior, and she had a queen-like charisma.

She turned heads everywhere she goes.

“Who said that? Just go try them on!” Sue pushed Kathy into the changing room.

Kathy slowly changed into the dress that seemed like it had the most fabric on it. She looked at herself in the mirror and she felt embarrassed.

Her long legs were showed off with the pair of high heels she put on. She was skinny and didn’t have an hourglass figure, but her body proportions were nice. She gave off a gentle aura.

“It’s not bad, change into the next one.”

Kathy looked at herself in the mirror again and couldn’t help but think that Sue had good taste in clothes. The dress she tried on flattered the good part of her figure and covered up her flaw.

But she was shocked when she looked at the price, it had 5 digits on it…

Kathy quickly took it off and gave it back to the salesperson.

“Kathy, did you not like it?” Sue sounded disappointed.

“I won’t usually wear it, it would be such a waste,” answered Kathy as she shook her head.

She especially wouldn’t dare to dress like that in front of Joseph. She didn’t have the courage to expose her collarbone and her back like that.

Sue frowned, she then grabbed the dress from the salesperson without hesitation.

She then walked into the jewellery shop, ignoring Herbert’s existence.

She didn’t care about what happened in the past anymore, but she couldn’t give Herbert a pleasant attitude.

Herbert frowned and walked out of the shop. Her gaze was fixed on Sue.

She recalled that Sue was adopted by the Fletcher’s family. She never would’ve thought that Kathy and Sue became so close.

She then made a call, “Mr. Fletcher, I saw your granddaughter today.”

…

“Kathy, it is fishy that I can’t find anything about Herbert.” Sue frowned deeply.

She didn’t tell Lincoln about this. She used the Fletcher’s family connection to investigate the matter and it was next to impossible that there was no information found.

She only managed to find public information on the Herbert’s family, but she got nothing on Herbert.

The Herbert’s family had lost power since long ago, they shouldn’t have the ability to exercise such rights.

Though, she did find out about one thing.

“Kingston recently announced that he wanted to stay overseas after his retirement and Billy gave him some money.

Kathy frowned at the name.

Billy repeatedly told her to be careful around Joseph.

But what was he doing?

“I see, thank you for your help.”

This was within Kathy’s expectation, and she intended to believe Joseph until the end.

It wasn’t him, it wasn’t him…

Sue smiled, “I hope I manage to help you out. If such injustice happened to me, I couldn’t have just taken it for so long as you did.”

Kathy lowered her eyes, she sounded a bit helpless, “I wanted to find out the truth back then as well, but I didn’t have any connections. I reported and complained about the incident but to no avail, that was why I gave up.”

“And Joseph finally lend you a helping hand?” said Sue with an eyebrow raised.

Kathy nodded, “That’s why I don’t know if I should be suspicious of him. He helped me out a lot, but at the same time his relationship with Herbert is not simple.”
