My Sweetheart novel Chapter 289

Jennifer was playing cards with a few ladies, and she didn't know what happened in the banquet hall until later. When she left, Kathy had already left with Joseph.

She made a phone to her daughter.

“Kathy, are you ok?” asked in concern.

“I’m fine, mum, I left early.”

“I know. I’m not worried as long as you’re with Joseph.”

After hanging up the phone, Kathy looked at the man beside her. He was looking at the tablet computer in his hand, and there were still many official matters for him to handle.

“How are things in City N?” Kathy asked.

Joseph had always stayed in City B before, and now Mathew was old and hardly dealt with the affairs of the Joseph's Group. Would it really be okay if he was not there?

“Well, now the Joseph's Group is managed by Diego and Julian.” Joseph said softly.

“Julian? What's his relationship with you?”

This was the first time that Kathy heard this name.

“He is Diego’s son.”

Kathy was shocked.

So he was Joseph's elder brother or younger brother?

Obviously they were not close.

"Why did he come back?"

She remembered that Joseph said that the roots of the Joseph family were in Country C, and their relatives were all over there.

Julian did not show up at their wedding, why did he just come back at this time?

“Grandpa is here, he may hardly sit still.” Joseph sneered.

Kathy paused. Joseph was gloomy and frightening.

She didn’t ask any more.

Bertie Marshall did not come back that night, and Kathy hadn’t seen him for the next few days.

The results of HIOD’s Phase IV trial showed that there was still rejection.

Everyone was in a terrible fix.

That meant the launch would be delayed.

Bertie, the person in charge of monitoring this project, held an emergency meeting on the same day.

He proposed to introduce some other professionals to participate, but Edith Wesley rejected it.

“Mr. Marshall, it’s not a good idea to add people in the late stage. I don’t think the problem lies in the ability of our researchers.”

“Then what do you think the problem is?”

"On the contrary, I think there are too many irrelevant people, which interfere with the entire research and development of the project and affect train of thought."

All eyes were on Kathy at once.

During these days，she was the only one who join the team late in the project.

“Edith, it’s just an excuse.”

“Oh really? Then what did Kathy do during these days? She didn't help much on the project, but raised various questions. And I had to spend vast energy on solving her problem. I don’t waste my time on such things.”

“Edith, since I'm now in charge of the Booth Group, I have the right to know everything about this medicine. If you evade these questions, it can only show that you are unreliable.”

“What do you mean?” Edith said with a straight face.

“Stop it now. This is no time to dispute. There is still two months before HIOD launch, Edith, no matter what, the drug will must be tested and marketed successfully.” Bertie said in a deep voice.

"As long as Kathy doesn't trouble me, I promise that there will be no problems."

Kathy smiled blandly,” That's not possible.”

“Well, Mr. Marshall, don't blame me for the slow progress.

Edith dropped the file and went out just when she finished talking.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They all knew that Edith was the most important person in this research and development project. The project would be difficult to continue if she didn’t cooperate.

The news quickly reached Zack Booth's ears, and he was so angry that he was almost sick.

Bertie rushed back to comfort him, "Grandpa, there won't be any problems with the launch of HIOD."

“Now Edith doesn't cooperate, what are you going to do?"

“I have communicated with her, and she promises to finish the whole project well."
