My Sweetheart

Chapter 312 My Ex-wife Is Full of Thorns

“Didn’t Alexia say that we will remarry?” Joseph raised his eyebrow.

“Who wants to remarry with you? Not me!”

“You are angry with me because I agreed to divorce.” Joseph narrowed his eyes.

“How do I dare to.” Kathy was fuming.

Joseph was fully aware of her emotions. Her chin was pinched by Joseph and forced to look directly at him, “My ex-wife’s body is full of thorns, what won’t you dare to do?”

“That’s because of your unreasonable actions.”

Joseph laughed softly, “Yes, I’m unreasonable. But that’s just to you.”

The aircraft landed at N City airport two hours later. Kathy alighted the aircraft first and left the airport and intended to go home by herself. Joseph knew that she would reject. Without asking, he grabbed her wrist and led her to the car. Kathy was furious but he was calm and collected.

“I won’t bother you after I send you home,” Joseph said solemnly.

Kathy frowned and looked at Joseph’s firm expression and her disappointment gradually spread throughout her.

“Then please stop sending someone to check on my movements, Mr. Joseph.” Kathy composed herself quickly. From the time Joseph appeared at TC Mountain, she realized that she had never escaped the sights of Joseph. Whether he sent someone to follow her or to protect her, she didn’t like to be monitored.

Joseph’s expression changed when he heard this and said sarcastically, “You don’t want me to find out about your date with Bertie?”

Kathy wanted to retaliate but quickly changed her tone, “It’s great that you know.”

The atmosphere in the car suddenly turned very cold and Kathy clearly felt Joseph’s fury. Neither spoke from then on. After sending Kathy to AN road, Joseph’s car quickly disappeared from Kathy’s sight. She stood at the balcony and looked down for a long time.

She didn’t know what she was looking at. Perhaps she was hoping that Joseph didn’t leave.

…

B Country, the Booth Mansion.

After Zack’s passing, the Booth residence became very desolate.

Billy was waiting in the living hall when Jennifer came home.

“You haven’t gone back to N City?” She frowned.

“Mom, can I stay a few more days to keep you company?” Billy’s tone was warm.

But Jennifer could detect a hint of chill.

“I need to attend to matters at the Booth group. You should go back earlier. The Hilton group is busy as well.”

“How can the Hilton group compare to the Booth group? Zack’s assets must be more than ten times the value of the Marshall group. Mom, why didn’t I get a single bit of these assets?” Billy’s expression turned cold.

“What are you trying to ask?” Jennifer stopped.

“You are not my mother.” Billy’s tone was very certain.

Jennifer’s expression was not flustered. She knew that sooner or later Billy will know the truth.

Now she only wanted to give her motherly love to Kathy. As for Billy, she couldn’t bring herself to get close to him anymore.

“So, you know it all.”

Billy laughed, “Of course. You neglect me so obviously and grandfather doesn’t even want to see me. How can I not know about it?”

“Child, I’m sorry.” Jennifer looked down. She felt guilty when it came to Billy.

That’s why she had already laid out a path for his future to take over the Hilton group and not to be involved with the Booth family.

“Mom, you adopted me to gain status in the family and as a result, I have my position now. You have nothing to be sorry about.”

Jennifer looked at Billy and clearly saw his hatred for her in his eyes. She knew how ambitious he was. To him, even the Hilton Group was insufficient. But the Booth family wasn’t his home.

“But I wish to know that since I’m not your son, why do you prevent me from courting Kathy?” Billy asked coldly since he had no blood-relations with her.

“Officially you are still my son and this will never change.”

“So, am I still under your control?” Billy’s eyes start to turn red because he was upset.

His life’s decisions had always been decided by Jennifer. He never had the right to decide for himself. That’s was why he rejoiced when he found out about his true identity. He thought that he was finally set free.

Jennifer’s face turned pale as she understood what Billy meant. He grew up with her and even if they were not related in blood, she still loved him.

“Whatever I did for you was for your own good.”

“I don’t need them.” Billy retorted.

“All that you have and your position now are given to you by me, your mother. Billy, unless you don’t want to be the director of the Hilton group!”

Billy was silent, indeed authority and status were what he had sort after all along.

He knew all along that only when he was sufficiently strong can he attain whatever he wanted. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

He can’t imagine losing everything…

“Mom, you’ve always been ruthless,” Billy said in defeat.

Jennifer didn’t deny his accusations.

…

School had re-opened.

Kathy went to register her attendance on Monday.

Tuition fees were due on that day and Kathy was informed that her fees had already been paid.

She was stunned and asked, “But I haven’t paid my tuition fees.”

The teacher in charge checked, “Your mother came yesterday and paid for it.”

Kathy frowned. She still couldn’t contact Angela so it couldn’t be her.

So, it must be… Jennifer.

She immediately called Jennifer.

Jennifer expected Kathy to ask about the tuition fees and said, “I’m your mother and of course I will bear your tuition fees.”

Kathy was silent, she couldn’t deny her relationship with her mother.

“I will repay you the money.”

“Kathy, are you still angry with me?”

“No, but please don’t interfere with my life anymore.”

“I allow you to continue with your graduate school studies at Ocean University. I will respect your decision whether you want to take over the Booth Group.” This was the limit of Jennifer’s compromise.

In the afternoon, Kathy went to the University administrative office. The word of her graduate school Professor Benedict Watson accepting a research student, which was extremely rare, had spread throughout the Ocean University.

Hence, on the first day, Kathy’s information had gone viral.

Her results as the third in her examination and first in the re-examination was envied by everyone. Furthermore, she was beautiful and her online profile was a picture of her in a white dress which made her look pure and angelic. She had many fans soon after.

She seldom checked her Weibo account and she became uneasy when the number of her fans grew so quickly.

But these were the least of her concerns.

According to the school regulations, research students must stay in the school hostels. Kathy didn’t expect that her roommate turned out to be Zofia.

The two of them met once and when Zofia saw Kathy, she was equally surprised.

“You are… Kathy?” Zofia looked at her from top to bottom.

She couldn’t see how her brother can be so smitten by this woman.

On the aspect of looks, there were many women who were prettier and sexier than Kathy around Bertie.

“How are you?”

“I specialize in surgery, what about you?” Zofia asked.

“I’m in neurology.”

“Neurology? Are you the only student that Professor Watson accepted?” Zofia was startled.
