My Sweetheart

Chapter 516 Sharing Your Burden

The loud honks behind her interrupted the stalemate. Kathy turned her head and was astonished by what she saw.

Three super-luxurious extended Rolls-Royce cars stopped at the entrance of the dormitory. The man who came out of one was wearing a light blue shirt, elegant and noble.

"Heavens.... These are limited editions. They are so hard to get."

"It's Professor Joseph! He is here to pick up his girlfriend. I'm so jealous of Kathy...."

"He is so handsome. I must be dreaming.... Why isn't my boyfriend Professor Joseph?"

Screams went on. When Kathy regained her composure, Joseph was before her.

Reece looked annoyed.

Joseph was putting up a front, which broke Reece's stride.

Kathy asked blankly, "Did you just buy cars?"

Joseph smiled faintly and said, "They were in the garage all along. You just didn't notice them."

Kathy didn't know what to say.

She rarely drove, so she never went to the garage in Joseph Bay....

"Are you here to pick me up?" she asked uncertainly.

"Yes, I am here to help with your luggage." With that, he held her hand and walked into the dormitory.

Another wave of screams came. The girls were eaten up by jealousy.

Kathy felt she was some sort of celebrity because of Joseph.

Ever since his love video was posted, she had felt she was being watched.

"Joseph, what a waste for the cars to carry my luggage." Kathy walked out of the balcony. The three Rolls-Royce cars were so imposing.

Although she knew Joseph was rich, this was too much!

Fortunately, she was no longer a student at Ocean University. Otherwise, she would have to face jealous gaze on a daily basis.

"I disagree," Joseph said indifferently.

He felt girls would have plenty of things and feared one car would not be enough, so he asked the driver to bring two more cars.

Kathy was lost for words.

"That's all my luggage," she muttered.

The back seat of a car was enough.

Kathy sat in the luxury car at the front and looked at the students who stopped out of curiosity. She felt she had been a superstar....

Joseph was used to this and remained calm.

"Joseph, don't do this anymore."

"Alright," he replied.

Kathy smiled and cuddled up to him. "I don't like how Reece pours on the charm to you."

He confessed.

He saw red when his woman talked to the man he hated.

Kathy looked down. She had had no idea Reece would show up.

"He and I share a mentor. I am afraid we will bump into each other a lot." Kathy frowned.

Moreover, Reece was hostile to her, which bugged her.

Joseph tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and his eyes became even colder.

In University F.

It was afternoon when Reece came to the new campus. His mentor Dona was already lecturing.

"Are you feeling good today? You actually came over to help me with my research."

"I'm in a foul mood," Reece said.

He didn't know why he went to Kathy's dormitory today just to talk to her.

He didn't understand why he felt that way and was in need of distraction.

"So, you're here to blow off steam." Dona smiled faintly.

"I dare not. You're my mentor. Shouldn't I share your burden?"

"I am already happy when you don't cause me trouble." Dona shook her head helplessly.

"What do you think of those graduate students?"

"I don't remember any of them." Reece obviously didn't want to answer the question.

"I like that transfer student Kathy. You gave her a hard time. Don't assume I can't tell." Dona looked up, her eyes sharp.

"Is that so? I think my questions were fine," Reece denied it.

"I thought you had a crush on her. Your eyes never left her ever since she came in."

Reece frowned. "Professor, why are you fixating on that?"

"I am just saying. Hurry up and help me...."

Reece returned to Joseph's family house after midnight. Then he received a call from his sister. She said something bad happened in the family.

Joseph also got the call and returned immediately.

Kathy looked at the man beside her with worry, asking, "What happened?"

"Grandpa fainted. Veronica said someone poisoned his food."

Kathy was surprised. When she regained her senses, Joseph had already left.

When the seat next to her became empty, she felt a little lonely.

In Joseph's family house.

Veronica had her bodyguards hold Ella. "Ella, you're the only outsider in the house. Did you poison Grandpa?"

"No way. Why would I do anything to hurt Grandpa? He is so nice to me...." Ella was sobbing and shaking her head.

But Veronica didn't believe her. This was the first time something like this had happened in her house, and it was not long after Veronica had moved in.

"Search her room!" Veronica ordered.

"No, you're invading my privacy." Ella's eyes were brimming with panic.

"Privacy? You're killing my grandfather. I don't care about your privacy!" Veronica was furious.

Veronica was quite terrifying when she was mad.

Quinn remained silent.

But when Veronica was about to go to Ella's room, Quinn came over and said, "It shouldn't be her."

"Then who do you think it is?"

"The butler is investigating every servant. We will hear from him soon," Quinn comforted her.

"Quinn, are you defending Ella?" Veronica's eyes widened. "You are actually on this bitch's side?" Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Veronica, I said it wasn't me. What motive do I have to harm Grandpa...?"

"Motive?" Veronica frowned. She was much calmer now.

Indeed, Mathew wanted Joseph to marry Ella. If he died, she would be cast out.

However, she still felt Ella was the most suspicious.

"Maybe this is your family's doing," Veronica said coldly.

Reece trotted over.

Ella was irritated to see her brother.

"Who gives you the right to bully my sister?" Reece approached and easily pulled Ella to his side.

"You Bridges want to kill my grandfather!" Veronica roared.

She was scared her grandfather wouldn't wake up.

"Don't talk nonsense. My sister is kind. She would never do such a thing. Since you don't want her here, I will take her away."

"No, Ella is a suspect! Get her now!" Veronica ordered.

However, Reece knew how to fight, and the bodyguards were no match for him. He knocked them down with ease.

Veronica's face turned pale.
