My Sweetheart novel Chapter 367

At Ocean University.

Kathy had just come back after a full day of classes. When she reached her dorm, she found half a dozen miscalls from Jennifer.

“Mom?”

“Billy has come to. Do you want to come visit him?” Jennifer couldn’t hide the exhaustion in her voice.

“No, I’m not close with him anyways,” Kathy said in an expressionless tone.

“All right. Do you want to come over and have dinner together this weekend?” Jennifer asked.

“I’ll have to check my schedule first,” Kathy replied.

Hung up the phone, Kathy headed into the ward.

Done with the testimony, Billy decided to sue Veronica.

Jennifer wanted to stop him. “Billy, you hurt that girl yourself back then. Now you still want to get back on her?”

“Look what she did to me. You think I’ll let her off? No, mom, I’ll put her into jail. Only then will she learn the lesson.” Billy said furiously.

Back when Veronica beat him up, she was really trying to beat him to death.

She will not let him off.

He could only strike first and get the upper hand.

“You will only get yourself in trouble with the Joseph family if you do this,” Jennifer said.

“I’m already in bad terms with them anyways,” Billy insisted.

“I’m saying this for your own good. You know the situation Hilton Group is in right now. If you let Veronica off, maybe they won’t come after you.” Jennifer.

“Mom, even if I let this slide, the Joseph family will definitely not let me off, they will only come at me harder.” Billy.

Jennifer fell silent. She understood they needed to bring this whole affair with Veronica to an end for everyone’s sake.

“Are you really going to sue her?” Jennifer.

“Yes!” Billy.

The Joseph family soon find out about the lawsuit.

Afternoon that day, Veronica was brought to the police station.

Joseph rushed there immediately, but Veronica was already under a temporary detainment with no bailment allowed.

Kathy only knew about this when she went over to Jennifer’s for dinner.

“I tried to talk some sense into Billy, but he just won’t listen to me.” Jennifer sighed.

She didn’t want the conflict between the Joseph and Hilton family to deepen any further, but it seemed no one was willing to back off in this war.

“Will Veronica be sentenced?” Kathy was worried.

Veronica had had some psychological health issues ever since she got hurt. She wouldn’t be able to handle it if she was sentenced into prison.

“Billy has hired the best lawyer in town,” Jennifer replied implicitly.

Kathy understood what she meant.

Billy was trying to put Veronica into jail for more than just a couple years.

“Why did Billy do what he did to Veronica back then?” Kathy asked nervously.

“He was drunk. He regretted it a lot, but he was about to inherit the Hilton’s Group, so he couldn’t bear to have any scandal. That’s why the Hilton family suppressed the media, and the news didn’t leak out. However, the Joseph family never forget about this affair.” Jennifer sighed again.

“If Veronica is sentenced, what’s coming for Billy won’t be pretty.” Kathy frowned.

She knew Joseph would definitely seek vengeance for Veronica.

“I know, but that kid is too stubborn, and I don’t have the right to interfere in this matter,” Jennifer replied.

It was already in the late evening when Kathy left. Bertie, who had just got back, met Kathy and offered to send her back home,

Kathy got into the car and didn’t say a word.

“You don’t seem very well. What did you girls talk about?” Bertie asked.

“It’s nothing.” Kathy simply shook her head.

“Is it about Veronica?” Bertie took a guess.

He knew Kathy would care about whatever related to the Joseph family because of that man.”

“You’re thinking too much,” Kathy replied.

“Kathy, do we have to act so distant with each other?” Bertie took a sudden brake on the car.

Kathy stunned for a short moment and came back to her senses.

“Sorry, I’m just in a bad mood tonight.” She forced a smile.

Which she knew didn’t look good at all.

Bertie frowned and let out a deep sigh.
