My Sweetheart novel Chapter 291

“Grandfather, I’m afraid that I can’t.”

“I know that in the next 3 years you want to continue with a post-graduate degree. When you are finished with your studies, you will succeed all the businesses of the Booth group.”

Zack didn’t allow Kathy to decline.

“Rest assured, Bertie will assist you.”

Kathy pursed her lips. Bertie…

Once she walked grandfather back to his room, Kathy went down to the living room.

Bertie came back without her noticing and stood behind her which startled her.

“Why are you so scared of me?” Bertie raised his eyebrows.

Kathy glared at him with disdain. “Don’t bother me.” She wanted to be left alone.

“What did grandfather say to you?” Bertie sat down beside her.

Kathy pursed her lips and looked at Bertie who seemed to have keen insight into all matters.

When she thought about having to learn from Bertie how to run a business … she felt truly repulsed!

“None of your business.”

Bertie spoke for his own interests, “Let me guess. Did he say that you are to learn from me at the Booth Group? After all, grandfather intends to hand over the Booth group to you.”

Kathy was deep in her thoughts.

“You can’t refuse, can you? Or do you want to hand over the Booth Group to me submissively?” Bertie twitched his eyebrows.

“In your dreams!” Kathy retorted instantly.

She pondered about her next three years of studying clinical medicine which had nothing to do with the business sector. If she can’t become a doctor in the future, then what she will be studying for the next three years would be useless.

“I know what you are struggling with. That’s why you can hand over the Booth Group to me and then just take the annual dividends.” Bertie said.

Kathy was unfamiliar with Bertie’s capabilities.

He looked to be barely thirty years old and had earlier succeeded Marshall Group and Booth Group was only another portion of his portfolio.

Why did Zack trust him so much?

Kathy can’t help but look at Bertie. This man’s steadfastness and maturity were unquestionable but, in her opinion, he lacked personality.

“From the way you are looking at me, I will feel that you have fallen for me,” Bertie smirked.

“In your dreams, I’m not blind.”

“Grandfather’s time is limited and you had better think carefully. But then again, you no longer have any choice.”

Bertie laughed, “Actually, do you want to consider divorcing Joseph and get married to me? Then I can help you manage the Booth Group properly.”

Kathy, “… Shameless.” She went back to her room thereafter.

Bertie narrowed his eyes sinisterly and went to look for Zack.

“Grandpa, I can’t convince your granddaughter. She really likes Joseph.”

“She can’t remain together with Joseph. Bertie, even with unscrupulous means, you must get them to divorce.” Zack said angrily.

“Grandpa, what suggestions do you have?”

“This Sunday is my birthday celebration. Spend the night with my granddaughter in the same room and I’ll get the reporters in on the next day!”

“But what if Kathy refuses to?”

“You just shut her up!”

Bertie laughed at the thought and found it exciting.

“Grandfather, since you don’t accept Joseph, then why did you allow them to be married?”

“There were too many incidents at the wedding. I originally thought that my granddaughter would be blissful being married to Joseph but I was wrong. She would encounter countless dangers being with that man. My time is limited and I must make arrangements for my granddaughter’s future.”

Bertie frowned. Indeed Kathy’s status was awkward. She was also considered a member of the Hilton family. But the Joseph family and the Hilton family had long been in a conflict.

What happens in the future will also affect Kathy.

“I knew you since you were young. Bertie, I trust you and I can see that you like my granddaughter very much.”

“Grandpa, I do like her but she doesn’t like me.”

This woman’s heart was cold as ice.

He felt that Joseph wasn’t any better than him and he felt that he was more suitable for her.

“I suspect that Joseph knew about her identity before he married her. You must tell her this and not let her continue to be fooled by Joseph!”
