My Sweetheart novel Chapter 171

Edith shuddered and raised her head. Billy’s deep gaze was as cold as ice.

She smiled grimly. “What are you talking about? Mr. Hilton?”

“You knew what I mean. If anything happens to Kathy, I’ll not let you off easy,” Billy said with a somber tone of voice.

Edith snorted. “I didn’t know Mr. Hilton is fond of that kind of woman.”

Billy was expressionless. He knew Joseph would save her out after he entered, and he turned, preparing to leave.

“What’s so good about Kathy? How could I be worse than her?” Edith muttered. She started out to the balcony subconsciously having realized Joseph was coming out.

Kathy was carried in Joseph’s arms. She lowered her head and pulled his sleeve noticing she was being brought out of this dark place. “Are you sure you want to take me out? The banquet outside is not yet over.”

Joseph did not reply. The emergency door was opened humbly by the manager and his courteous voice was heard. “I’m sorry, Mr. Joseph. I don’t know who has locked the door and I’ll check the surveillance footage this instant.”

Joseph gave a cold reply and he was about to emerge out of the corridor to the outside where a lavish banquet was organized. Quite many people had noticed the commotion and Kathy became the centre of attention at once.

She pushed Joseph gently and said, “My legs are not numb anymore. Put me down, I can walk by myself.”

Joseph wrinkled his eyebrows and cruelty flashed across his eyes.

“Joseph! Let go of me! I don’t want you carry me!” Kathy lowered her voice and she refused to let Joseph touch her at all upon thinking of the scene which he was together with Edith.

Joseph squinted. His threatening look made her shuddered, yet she was still bold enough to give him a bite on the shoulder. Joseph could not help but let her down at once. “Kathy Owens!” Joseph went outraged and he rarely did so in front of her.

“Joseph, thank you for saving me just now, I’ll not bother you now, as I shouldn’t be here after all,” Kathy said blandly and turned, heading towards the main entrance.

It was at this moment Alexia ran excitedly towards her. She had overheard the conversation between Billy and Edith and knew it was Edith who trapped Kathy. She was so furious that she looked for her immediately and did not expect her to be just beside the swimming pool. She then seized the opportunity and pushed her into the pool.

“Kate! I’ve punished that woman!”

“What?” Kathy did not get her meaning.

“Actually…” As Alexia was just about to speak, someone from the balcony yelled. “Miss Wesley has fallen into the pool!”

Alexia gloated and spoke. “Looks like there’s gonna be a good show to watch.”

Kathy frowned. She looked at Alexia and lowered her voice. “It’s you?”

“Of course. That bitch dared to lock you up, therefore I certainly have to teach her some lessons,” Alexia said with an exasperated look.

“How did you know it’s her?” Kathy asked doubtfully. She had thought of everyone yet she did not expect it was her.
