Herbert??s face was deathly pale. She ran over and grabbed Billy??s arm. ??It really has nothing to do
with me. It??s not me. It??s Peter behind the plot.??
Billy stopped and narrowed his eyes as he coldly looked at Herbert. ??Peter Champs???
Herbert nodded solemnly. ??It??s him.??
??Herbert, you know the consequences of lying to me.?? Billy narrowed his eyes coldly.
Herbert bit her lip and panic flashed in her eyes. She whispered, ??How dare I lie to you???
??
The next day, Kathy came to Boston University to confirm the information. She was about to call
Joseph when leaving. After she went downstairs, someone suddenly grabbed her shoulder and pulled
her to the classroom at the end of the corridor.
??Who are you??? Kathy??s face turned pale. The person holding her was so skillful that she could
not struggle away.
When the door was opened, a familiar figure appeared. It was the dean, Laura!
??Kathy, I??ve wronged you.??
Kathy glared at her. It was her again. She aimed at her both yesterday and five years ago.
??Why did you do this??? Kathy was pushed away by the people behind her, and she staggered a few
steps and fell to the ground.
Her hands had been tied, and she could not move at all.
Laura smiled and squatted down, pinching her chin. ??I also work for others. What do you think???
??Herbert???
??Smart. I??ve helped her with so many things, but she blame all on me. Kathy, what do you think I
should do??? Laura narrowed her eyes and hatred appeared in her eyes.
??Since you have broken the law, you should be punished.??
??Me? I??m just a scapegoat. You have ruined my life! I don??t accept it.?? Laura said sinisterly,
pinching her neck hard.
It hurt so that her face turned even paler, but she was unable to resist.
??Let go of me. It is Herbert who hurt you!??
Herbert.
Laura??s expression changed. Seeing that Kathy was about to faint, she opened her grip a little.
??If you hadn??t defend yourself, nothing would have happened!??
??Your matter will be exposed sooner or later. You should report Herbert so that you can protect
yourself!?? Kathy said calmly.
She already understood what Laura meant. Five years ago, Herbert asked her to replace her thesis,
but now, Laura was left to take the blame alone.
However, she was the victim from beginning to end.
Laura bit her lip tightly. If she could do that, she wouldn??t be so desperate now.
??What if I want you to help me against her?? Laura said in a deep voice.
??Do you have evidence??? Kathy looked up at her.
Laura shook her head. Right now, all the evidence proved it was her. Herbert was always behind the
plot. It was hard to accusing of her.
??Why did you conspire with her to frame me???
??I don??t know the reason. I was short of money back then. The Herbert gave me a huge sum of
money, so I agreed.??
??So it was Herbert who ordered you not to let me pass yesterday??? Kathy asked coldly.
Laura paused and slowly nodded.
If Kathy were allowed to pass the defense, she would still be reported.
??I can??t help you.??
??Kathy, then I can only use you to threaten Joseph.??
After saying that, Laura instructed the man to tie Kathy to the chair. She found Kathy??s phone.
There were real names in Kathy??s contacts, and Laura could easily find Joseph??s number.
It was quickly picked up, and Joseph immediately knew that it wasn??t Kathy.
??Who are you???
??I??m Laura. What??s your relationship with Kathy??? Laura wasn??t sure of Joseph??s relationship
with Kathy.
Everyone could tell that Joseph had always defended Kathy yesterday, so she had guessed that their
relationship would be very intimate.
It would be great if he could help her get off the hook with his power.
??I??m her husband.?? Joseph told the truth.
Laura was shocked. She had never expected it.
Joseph was married.
??Mr. Joseph, I need your help.??
??Where is my wife??? Joseph??s voice was extremely cold.
??As long as you promise to help me get off the hook, Kathy will be safe.??
??Where is she??? Joseph did not answer Laura??s question and asked again.
He was so intimidating that Laura was too scared to hold her phone.
??Mr. Joseph, please help me. It was Herbert that set Kathy up. It has nothing to do with me.??
??I want to bring my wife back first. As for what you said, if it??s true, I won??t let Herbert go.??
Laura hesitated. If Joseph took away Kathy, it would not be so easy for her to get out of the police
station again.
The evidence Herbert had submitted now shifted all the blame onto her.
??Mr. Joseph, please promise me,?? Laura said with a pleading tone.
She had no choice but to do so.
??Address,?? Joseph said coldly.
Laura paused for a moment and said the address through her gritted teeth.
Kathy looked at her, clenching her hand.
??Kathy, I didn??t expect you to be Mrs. Joseph. He will help me, won??t he??? Laura asked
nervously.
??You can??t get away with this. Although Herbert plotted everything, but you helped her carry it
out.??
??I??m not! I??m did it for the money. I have no intention,?? Laura explained.
??Your relationship with the Herbert?? isn??t simple, either,?? Kathy said calmly.
??Yes, Herbert and I are relatives, but I did it only for money.??
??How on earth did you get to the dean of students???
Kathy frowned. She hadn??t investigated Laura before, but she was very suspicious about how she
became a dean of the Boston University.
Her ability was not up to the job.
Panic flashed Laura??s face when she heard it, but she did not answer.
Kathy saw her panic. Her mouth curled up into a sarcastic smile.
??The Herberts helped you with it,?? Kathy said confidently.
??Don??t talk nonsense!?? Laura interrupted her.
??I??ll find out it.??
??You!?? Laura walked over and covered her mouth tightly. Her words made her more panicked.
??You can??t find anything!?? Laura couldn??t control herself.
A burst of footsteps came from outside. The bodyguards outside stopped Joseph, but he pushed them
away easily.
When he entered the classroom, Laura was still covering Kathy mouth. Joseph narrowed his eyes
coldly and pulled Laura??s collar. She was fiercely thrown away by him.
Kathy??s cheeks turned red because of lack of breath. The moment she saw Joseph, her eyes
became wet.
??Joseph ???? she murmured and hugged him.
Laura stood up against the wall. She looked coldly at them. ??Joseph, I didn??t hurt her. I just hope
that you can prove my innocence.??
??Five years ago, did you replace my wife??s thesis??? Joseph narrowed his eyes and looked at
Laura.
Laura trembled. ??Yes.??
??Then how dare you say that you are innocent???
