My Sweetheart novel Chapter 180

Kathy picked up the file. It was an investigation on the spread of counterfeit MT Medicine. Herbert definitely had something to do with this issue from the exposed information.

It was her.

Thinking of Herbert preventing Nellie from signing the contract with NCHV Medical Company three days ago, Kathy never expected that Herbert would disclose the information of counterfeit MT Medicine.

Why did Herbert do that?

It seemed that Herbert had nothing to do with NCHV Medical Company.

When Kathy was inattentive, Joseph hung up the phone and sat down beside her. “The news about the counterfeit MT Medicine had something to do with Herbert.”

Kathy turned to look at him with her hands trembling.

Could it be that Herbert slandered NCHV Medical Company because Herbert didn’t like her?

Joseph clearly understood her thoughts. He frowned, “It is obvious that this incident cannot be planned by Herbert alone. It involved many figures from political and business areas. And Herbert wasn’t able to plan all of these with her insufficient background.”

“Who else did you suspect?”

“At present, I don’t have sufficient evidence. But, since Herbert is involved in this issue, I will conduct an in-depth investigation following this clue.” Joseph squinted his eyes.

“The Herbert’s group had already been acquired by Hilton Group and Herbert is Billy Hilton’s fiancée. If she is not capable, then it can only be that Billy helps her.” Kathy analyzed.

Joseph said, “You are quite smart.”

Kathy stared at him. She was smart.

“Just a guess. But I am afraid that she targeted me.” Kathy clenched her palms.

“If she dared to target you, then I would let her pay for it,” Joseph said coldly but his words scared people.

Kathy couldn’t tell her feeling deep down. There were too many things involved between her and Herbert. Herbert was hostile towards Kathy and it was not just because of Peter Champs.

They walked outside. It was late and most restaurants in hotels were closed. This wasn’t a bustling commercial area. Only some small stalls were still opened.

Thinking of Joseph’s distinguished status, Kathy was afraid that he wouldn’t sit on the street with her and eat. Kathy dared not think about it.

“It seemed that all restaurants were closed.” Kathy pulled him back.

“Eat what you want,” Joseph said directly.

All emotions of Kathy were caught by him.

Kathy frowned and pointed to the barbecue stall on the opposite side.

“Are you sure?”

Sure enough, his face darkened.

As soon as Kathy turned around and walked into the hotel, he arrogantly held her waist and led her to the barbecue stall to sit down.

Joseph was tall with long legs. He looked so awkward when sitting on the small chair on the side of the road.

Especially his legs couldn’t be bent, and they almost reached Kathy’s feet.

“Shall we pack the food back and eat?” Kathy looked at him.

“No.” Joseph answered coldly.

Kathy ignored him and ordered what she loved. Then she handed the menu to Joseph.

He didn't check the menu and asked Kathy to order.

“Pig blood, chicken kidney, powder intestine...” The boss of the stall confirmed Kathy’s order.

Joseph’s continuous cold countenance fell and finally picked up the menu in front of him.

After a while, he said solemnly, “I would like to have a bowl of noodles.”

“Don’t you like barbecue?” Kathy asked him.

Joseph’s gaze fell on the barbecue grill a few meters away. The fire was very strong, and the smell was very fragrant. He just looked at this messy place, then he finally couldn’t handle it anymore.

Especially, there was a creature across the feet of the boss of the barbecue stall.

Joseph stood up almost immediately, clasping Kathy’s wrist, and took her away.

Kathy was confused. At this moment, the boss of the store asked, “All the food is ready. Do you want to pack them?”

Joseph paused and habitually turned out a black credit card from his wallet. The boss of the barbecue stall was shocked. He couldn’t help but said, “Can you pay with Alipay?”

Kathy was also shocked. She immediately found her wallet and handed over the cash to the boss. She took the box packed by the store, and Joseph hugged her back quickly.

Inside the room, there was a trash can. As soon as Joseph entered the room, he raised his chin and said unhappily, “Throw it away.”

“What?” Kathy’s hands shrank subconsciously.

She was so hungry.

“Throw it away.” Joseph was angry. This time he took the packing box directly from Kathy and threw it away.

Kathy was angry. Why did Joseph go with her to the barbecue stall?

“What do you mean by that?” Kathy stared at him.

“They were not clean. Don’t eat them.” Joseph rubbed her head, but Kathy pushed him away.

She was mad and walked into the elevator. But Joseph came in quickly, holding her little hands.

“I thought I could eat them, but neither the environment nor the food is clean. You are not allowed to eat these roadside stalls in the future,” Joseph said in an imperative tone of voice.

Kathy twitched the corners of her mouth and understood why Joseph let her throw away the barbecue.

Although it was not clean, it was quite delicious.

Kathy and Alexia liked to go to these places before, especially in the early morning. Outside the school, there were many small vendors with smoke and fire, which were very lively.

“I think it’s okay. I am used to it.” Kathy refuted.

Joseph was mad and squinted his eyes.

“Don’t you follow my words?” His tone was also gloomy.

Kathy bit her lip. She knew that Joseph was caring about her, but... It was very uncomfortable to think that she wouldn’t be able to eat these things in the future.

“Okay. I will follow what you said.” She decided to compromise now.

Joseph looked down and he seemed to see through her thoughts.

“I will punish you if you are found to break your words.”

“What’s the punishment?” Kathy was mad. Now he didn’t trust her.

Joseph thought carefully. For a long while, there was a dangerous smile on his face.

Kathy felt so scared.

His hands suddenly pressed against Kathy’s slender waist, and then went down, kneading her.

Suddenly, Kathy’s face blushed. She wanted to push him away but failed.

“Huh? You know what I mean,” Joseph said ambiguously.

But Kathy knew what he meant from his eyes.

“No way!” she refuted. It seemed that the elevator arrived. She ran back.

But she was in one room with Joseph. Where could she hide?

Kathy thought that she would be hungry for the whole night. But when she finished her shower, there were full of delicious food on the table.

Steak, fried chicken, and French fries. This combination wasn’t like something Joseph would eat. He always advocated fresh and healthy food.

“Eating these at night would lead to poor digestion.” Kathy ignored the food. She was still mad that Joseph had thrown away her barbecue.

When she came back to the bedroom, she felt hungrier.

Lying on the bed, she tossed in depression.

Only when she almost rolled to the bed, Joseph hugged her firmly.

“Are you playing with me?” Joseph’s voice was low and sexy.

An itchy breath sprayed on her neck, and Kathy’s whole body was warm. Lifting her eyes, Joseph’s kiss had already fallen unpreparedly.
