My Sweetheart novel Chapter 281

"Grandpa, during this time, I just wanna be with you." Kathy wrinkled her forehead.

"Of course I know, but it just so happens that Bertie is going to do research and development. You go there to help him and learn from him. Besides, you can also get to know Booth Group better," Zack said sincerely and earnestly.

"I'm sorry that I'm not interested," Kathy said blandly.

"Is it because of me?" Bertie narrowed his eyes.

"Of course it has nothing to do with Mr. Marshall. It's just that I have to prepare my lessons recently, so I can't pay much attention to this project. I'm worried that the whole project will be delayed." Kathy appeared calm and indifferent.

Bertie could see that she was more stubborn than anyone else.

"Kathy, don't you obey me?" Zack was a bit ratty.

"Grandpa, I didn't mean it. But now, I don't feel like participating in any projects. I hope you can understand."

"You're my granddaughter, the only granddaughter! I don't want to force you, but…it's your responsibility!" Zack slapped the table angrily.

Kathy's eyelids droop while her body trembled slightly.

Responsibility.

The identity and responsibility that she didn't even know in the past twenty-five years suddenly fell upon her shoulders.

She gave a slight, sad smile.

"I'm not interested in Booth Group."

Zack's face was getting paler and paler. When he heard Kathy's words, he was so angry that he could hardly stand on his legs.

Bertie immediately stepped forward to support him. Zack pointed at Kathy, feeling helpless and angry.

"Kathy, let it go at that," Bertie said solemnly.

Kathy sat quietly, watching her mother and Bertie helping her grandpa go upstairs. After that, she took out the phone and called Joseph.

But at this time, he was in a meeting and his phone was not around.

After dozens of minutes, Kathy's phone rang.

At this moment, the doctor had gone upstairs to Grandpa's room, while she was standing in the hallway.

"Mrs. Joseph." Joseph's soft voice rang in her ears.

Kathy bit her lips, and after a while replied in a low voice, "Yes."

"Has anyone bullied you?" Joseph asked observantly.

"No."

"Yes. Tell me, ok?"

"It's true. I just miss you. "

"If you don't tell me, I'll come to you immediately tonight." Joseph flipped through his itinerary.

This was only the first day she left him, but he missed her very much.

He really shouldn't let her leave him.

"Kathy, Grandpa is awake." At this moment, Bertie walked toward Kathy.

Upon hearing a man's voice, Joseph couldn't help frowning.

He knew that man was Bertie.

His eyes gradually became deeper.

"I'm busy now, goodbye." Kathy hung up the phone.

Joseph listened to the busy signal on the phone, his handsome face gradually became sullen.

He called John in, "Cancel tomorrow's schedule."

"What're you doing?" Suddenly, a deep and resonant voice came from outside. Then, Mathew walked in.

Joseph frowned, "Grandpa, what brings you here?"

"Tomorrow is the day of the board meeting, you must stay here," Mathew said. "Julian will be there too."

When Joseph heard Mathew's words, Joseph's face clouded over.

"Didn't he never attend domestic board meetings?"

"He is in City N now. I heard that he has established partnerships with many domestic enterprises in the name of Joseph's Group," Mathew told him seriously.

He finally couldn't control himself and started to take action.

Joseph's expression was as indifferent as usual. He had known Julian's ambition long ago.

It was impossible for him to be satisfied with staying in Country C solely. That place was never the main business of the Joseph's Group.

"Well, Grandpa, please represent me at tomorrow's board meeting."

"Where are you going?" Mathew asked solemnly.

"The Booth Mansion."
