My Sweetheart novel Chapter 234

Three days later, the case of Boston University bribery officially came to trial.

Joseph came over to accompany Kathy.

The investigation of this case yielded a clear result. Kathy, sitting quietly on the witness stand, was indifferent to the gazes people cast on her.

This case went to court because of her. Yet it had something to do with the corruption and bribery in universities, so many people were hostile to Kathy.

Kathy lowered her eyes. She listened quietly to the judger’s verdict.

To her surprise, Herbert got the lightest sentence, one-year imprisonment, for her crime.

Peter, on the contrary, was found guilty of damaging Kathy’s reputation and defamation. All those teachers involved in the case got their due punishment.

Peter was sentenced to thirty-year imprisonment. In the court, Kathy could clearly perceive Peter’s eyes shooting at her with venom.

She turned her head indifferently. It was time for her to leave the court.

She did not have much objection to the court’s verdict, because she believed the justice of law.

Kathy left the witness stand, but Billy stopped her with his tall figure.

“Aren’t you curious about the reason why Peter was regarded as the chief plotter?” Billy asked.

“The police have investigated it clearly. The school teacher slandered me under his order. Isn’t his punishment due?”

“What was Peter’s motive for hurting you?”

“Billy, what do you want to say?” Kathy looked at him vigilantly.

“Peter has no support, so it’s reasonable he was punished in this way. Yet how about Herbert?”

“If someone helps Herbert to reduce her penalty, it would be you, doesn’t it?” After all, the Herbert’s group was merged into the Hilton’s group. Besides, both families were kindred.

Billy smiled and said, “Kathy, the man who can do anything in City N? Think about who he is.”

Joseph.

When the name popped out, Kathy was in a chaos.

That was impossible.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Billy stopped when he ensured Kathy had the answer. He thrust his hands into pockets and spoke indifferently, “I just warn you. Believe it or not, the fact is there. Anyway, I have no evidence to convince you.”

Kathy stood in the corridor. Billy heaved out of sight.

The chill in the corridor stung Kathy. She shook her head. No, she couldn’t take Billy’s words serious.

However, the suspicion in her heart went rampant. All evidence was against Herbert, but Peter was arrested because of the same crime. Just now, the verdict was not in accordance with the police’s findings. Kathy knew it.

“Mrs. Joseph.” Joseph’s deep voice jolted Kathy out of her rumination. Then Joseph saw Kathy’s pale face.

“Are you tired?” Joseph hugged her.

Kathy did not reply but she suddenly pushed Joseph away fiercely.

Joseph’s eyes could chill people to death.

Only then did Kathy realize that she overreacted.

“Yes.” She nodded and dissimulated her feelings.

Joseph didn’t ask any further. He left with Kathy with one hand around Kathy’s shoulder.

However, Billy’s words lingered in Kathy’s mind for a long time.

In Joseph Bay.

Kathy was browsing the reports about today’s case on the internet. Today, only some law violators of the case were sentenced. Many people were involved in this case, so the case was still under investigation.

The reputation of Boston University plummeted.

After all, Boston University was Kathy’s alma mater; Kathy had more worries than disappointment.

The following day, Kathy rushed to Boston University to get her diploma after she received a call from the president.

Without the president’s help, Kathy wouldn’t have completed the defense of her dissertation so smoothly.

Surely, to Kathy’s knowledge, it was Joseph who helped her.

“Kathy, sit down. Take it easy.” In the office, the president said kindly.

“What happened in Boston University has been the hottest topic in the city. I’m afraid I will resign soon.”
