My Sweetheart

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.
