My Sweetheart novel Chapter 225

With everything set, the cabin door was slowly closed.

Hope retreating to the backdoor, Kathy had to face Peter, because her shoulders were gripped by him.

“Peter, it’s not late for you to let me go,” she persuaded him.

“That’s not possible. Herbert has turned herself in, and she will definitely rat me out. I don’t want to be behind bars!” Peter’s tone was hoarse and desperate.

He didn’t work hard for so many years just to rot in prison.

Now he only needed Kathy.

His eyes grew passionate as he gazed at her delicate face.

Kathy avoided his gaze and focused her attention on the view outside the window.

The cabin door was closing, while she looked at the same direction. Then she noticed a familiar black car approaching the helicopter.

Hope lit up her eyes. At a closer look, she was sure that it was Joseph.

However, the helicopter was slowly ascending.

The black car stopped. John quickly aimed at the helicopter and reported, “Mr. Joseph, Peter and your wife are both on the plane.”

Joseph squinted. “Are the jets ready?”

“Yes, standing by to attack.”

Joseph got out of the car. The helicopter just took off, but was surrounded by four fighter jets, unable to fly higher.

Kathy had been looking down at Joseph, extremely nervous.

“Mr. Champs, we are under attack.” The pilot turned around with an ominous expression.

Peter stuck his head out and realized that four fighter jets had cornered him. He gripped Kathy’s wrist.

“I really underestimated Joseph.”

Kathy sneered, “You can’t escape.”

“Says who?”

With that, the man wrapped his long arm around her neck. As the cabin door slowly opened, Kathy stared at Peter in panic.

What did he want to do?

“We can’t ascend. Should we land? When they start firing, we won’t be able to hold long,” the pilot reminded Peter.

Peter squinted coldly and dragged Kathy to the door. They were only five meters above the ground, so Joseph could see them.

Peter was holding Kathy as hostage!

“Joseph, your wife is in my hands. Tell your jets to fall back, or else I will push her down.” Joseph heard every word Peter said.

Joseph looked up and met Kathy’s eyes which were filled with tension. His fists were tightening.

Kathy was a little afraid of heights, and Peter’s words made it worse. Her legs were so weak that she could hardly stand.

Although the ground was not that far away, a fall to the hard surface like this would leave her in a perilous condition.

“Peter, you’re so despicable,” Kathy cursed angrily.

“That would be your work. You never give me a second option!”

“You have broken the law and deserve to be punished!”

“No, you should blame Herbert. I’m clean!”

“Peter, don’t go down this dark path,” Kathy whispered.

She knew that Peter was a madman now, a completely different stranger.

However, he had no way out.
