My Sweetheart
Chapter 367 He Will Get What He Deserves

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 replace 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.

"I hope you can be happy," he said.

Kathy smiled. With her fingers, she pulled the corners of her lips upwards into an arc.

Bertie's tense expression was finally alleviated.

He held himself back the moment he wanted to reach his hand out to comfort Kathy.

It was already late in the night when Kathy got back to her dorm. Zofia was still awake.

And there was a familiar figure beside Zofia.

Veronica?

Kathy looked at her in surprise, and soon realized she came to look for Zofia, since she was sitting on Zofia's seat.

"Kathy, Veronica will stay here tonight, do... do you mind?" Zofia asked in fidgety.

Veronica didn't let Zofia know before she came over. And since she was obviously in a bad state, Zofia felt bad for her as well.

"I don't mind. Don't mind me, I'll go take a shower," Kathy replied.

Veronica looked at Kathy and stayed silent for a long while.

"Veronica, what about we go to the hotel..." Zofia frowned.

"Never mind, I should just go home. You have class tomorrow, I shouldn't bother you." Veronica looked disappointed.

She came here right after she found out Billy was going to sue her.

Zofia was her best friend, she needed Zofia's consolation and company.

In fact, she had already felt much better after telling Zofia about what had been bothering her.

"Veronica, I'll call Joseph and ask him to come get you." Zofia was worried.

"It's okay, my driver has been downstairs all this while. And don't worry, I'm not afraid of Billy," Veronica said coldly.

Zofia sent her downstairs. On the way down, Zofia patted her shoulders, trying to comfort her.

Suddenly, her eyes were welled up with tears.

"Zofia, I won't let Billy has it easy. He will get what he deserves, right...?" she said.

"Yes, of course he will," Zofia replied.

Zofia was feeling grave. Billy had all the evidence he needed to sue Veronica.

The court will begin soon. Since Veronica was guilty of deliberate offence, if Billy went hard on this case, Veronica would most probably be going to jail.

When Zofia got back to the dorm, Kathy was just coming out of the bathroom, drying her hair with a towel.

Kathy asked indifferently when she realized Veronica was nowhere in sight, "Isn't she staying for the night?" "She just went back," Zofia replied.

"Kathy, do you know about Billy's current situation?" after a short pause, Zofia asked.

Kathy frowned. "He's still recovering. But he has a severe brain damage, perhaps it will take a while for him to recover fully."

"Can you ask him to revoke the lawsuit?" Zofia asked again.

Kathy knew how Zofia was feeling. In fact, she didn't want Veronica to be sued too.

But Jennifer told her today, Billy was determined to do this.

"For now, that seems to be impossible," Kathy answered.

"Joseph will definitely work out a way for this," Zofia said firmly.

Upon hearing this name, Kathy went into a short daze. It was Friday the next day, Joseph would probably show up to give his lecture.

Since she didn't receive any notification about the class being canceled, and he was already discharged from the hospital.

The next day, Kathy got up early and went to get her breakfast at the canteen.

However, she was a slender figure surrounded by a small crowd in a distance.

Even though she could only get the rear view of the figure, Kathy could tell it was Joseph.

He came to the canteen?

Would he be okay with the food being served here?

Kathy decided to ignore it and went on to sit in the corner. But Joseph saw her.

He walked across with long strides and sat down right in front of her. Kathy looked at him in a daze.

"Joseph, what are you doing?" she asked.

"Taking my breakfast," he replied.

"There are plenty of seats over there!" Kathy got a bit mad.

She got uncomfortable with the way his fans looked over at them...

"I want to take my breakfast with you," Joseph said in a soft and luring tone.00
