My Sweetheart

Chapter 253 The Ball Is Not in Your Court

Kathy was in married status. If Bertie kept disturbing her, he would have ruined his reputation.

“You’re so naive, still concerning for others at this moment.” Joseph discontented.

He hoped that Kathy would concern more for him.

Joseph would worry if Kathy always concerned for others.

Kathy smiled, “You always dote on me and make me naive.”

Joseph showed his doting sight, pinched her chin, lowered his head to kiss her.

Yup. She allowed.

…

Three days later, Kathy checked her results of the examination. She was the third in writing exam. She got second runner-up in her written exam and entered the interview section successfully.

Although she was confident with herself, her results made her surprised.

Joseph had contributed a lot in helping her to get good result.

All the important notes that he highlighted for her had come out in the exam. One month before she sat for the exam, she was angry with him. However, he still marked the key points for her.

He smiled slightly because she was thinking to share the good news with him first.

Just then, Kathy’s phone rang. It showed a stranger’s number.

“Hello?”

“Kathy, I am your grandpa.”

At the entrance of the Joseph’s Group, a luxurious Rolls-Royce parked by the roadside.

Kathy saw it instantly.

Grandpa…

She did not expect her kinsfolk to meet her except Jennifer Booth.

She did not ready for that.

The car was wide. Kathy entered the car nervously. Zack Booth was aged, his hair was white in colour but his strict face made people awe of him.

He was dominant in controlling the market when he was young.

The word “grandpa” stuck in Kathy’s throat, she was unable to say it out.

She felt uneasy to face the old man.

“I know you’re surprised but Kathy, you’re indeed my granddaughter. Our Booth family does not have any male descendants. However, according to our rules, the Booth’s Group must be inherited by a male. So, I inform my daughters, either of them gives birth to a baby boy, she will inherit the Booth’s Group. Jennifer was controlled by the Hilton family at that time, she had no choice but to adopt a baby boy and sent you away. I just aware of this incident recently.”

After listening to these sentences, Kathy showed no expression on her face.

His words did not match with the truth that Joseph told her.

Till then, she realized that she was being abandoned merely because she was not a boy.

The Hilton family was involved too.

She was not depressed by the truth. She was blissful to grow up with Angela’s care and love.

“I know you cannot accept your identity right now, but you’re my granddaughter, it’s a truth that cannot be reversed,” Zack said firmly.

“Grandpa, I am indeed unable to accept these sudden changes,” Kathy answered honestly.

During previous period, she was busy preparing for her exam and so, she did not concern about it.

Nevertheless, after her exam, she still could not accept it.

She had made up her mind that Angela was her only family member.

“Don’t you curious about why I meet you in person?” Zack looked at her.

In the midst of their conversation, he kept panting, his health was not in the pink.

His steward took care of him all the time.

“I cannot survive over half a year. It is me who is muddled and makes you homeless. I decide to pass my property to you and let you inherit.”

Kathy was stunned and could not make a response.

She did not know that although Zack had distributed his property, he still had the control over the industrial chain of the Booth’s Group in Europe. His wealth was enough for him to buy several countries!

The Rolls-Royce was moving towards the bungalow on the outskirt of the city. Kathy was still in a state of confusion at the moment.

Jennifer’s identity had made her surprised, Kathy had always thought that she was the hostess of the Hilton family.

Kathy was stunned again when she saw the luxurious castle-like bungalow.

It was as majestic as a palace. She wondered whether she was dreaming.

“This place is…”

“This is our Booth’s old curtilage. Follow me, my granddaughter.”

They stepped on the road paved with cobbles. The plants were trimmed nicely by the maid.

“Am I dreaming…” Kathy patted her face. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She must be dreaming!

But it was painful.

She could feel it.

“Kathy, you’re my only granddaughter. This will be your home.”

Zack held his walking stick while the steward supported him to walk.

Kathy was confused, Zack was not giving her surprise but more to shock.

“Grandpa, I…”

She stepped backward instinctively and wanted to leave.

Something must be going wrong…

The bodyguards were blocking the door, Kathy could not leave.

The steward invited Kathy to the living room. Zack sat down, his face was strict.

“Sit down, grandpa has not finished talking.”

Kathy was nervous, could not stay calm.

At the moment, she still thought that the happening was not real.

“I know you have just finished your exam but Ocean University is not suitable for you. Here are the top three overseas universities. You can choose one, grandpa will apply for you.”

“Grandpa…I already choose Ocean University, I will not change my decision anymore,” Kathy calmed down slowly.

But the bombs kept thrown out to her one by one.

“You’re Booth’s descendant, you must study at the top university. Choose one!” Zack said with no expression.

Kathy was shaking, she never thought of going overseas.

She did not have much money, she did not want to rely on Joseph.

But, Zack seemed to have decided for her at the moment.

She shook her head firmly, “Grandpa, if you treat me as your granddaughter, please respect my decision.”

She had prepared to enter Ocean University for a long time, she was confident that she would pass.

She did not want to rely on anyone.

“Even though you enter Ocean University successfully, grandpa will not allow you to study there!” Zack was stubborn.

Kathy stood up furiously, “If you want to disrupt my decision merely because I am a part of Booth’s family, then I wish I am a normal people.”

“The ball is not in your court.” Zack knocked his walking stick heavily.

Kathy had indeed upset him. He did not look well and panted severely.

Kathy frowned. Her grandpa’s emotion was not stable, she did not dare to talk anymore.

The steward immediately passed the medicine to Zack. He then looked better after eating medicine.

Kathy worried about her grandpa’s health. So, she did not say offensive words anymore to upset him.

But, she had the right to make her own decision.

“Grandpa, you rest for a while, I have to leave now.”

She could not bear with the strange situation.

She did not feel a sense of belonging even in the luxurious place.

Kathy ran out instantly. She took out her phone and called Joseph.

At the moment, Joseph just arrived at the Joseph’s Group after dinner. He picked up the phone.

“Joseph, where are you…”

“Where are you?” Joseph showed his serious face. Although he was asking for the address, he already found out the location.

The Booth’s old castle…

His eyes shone cold.
