Chapter 10 Call Her Lina From Now On

Catalina furiously grabbed that jacket and tried to throw it back to Bennett. However, she realized why

he had done it when she looked at her clothes: she was in a total mess.

Catalina's cheeks turned red instantly.

When she turned to face the man who had thrown her the blazer, she noticed he had returned to the

restroom.

Catalina's heart began to race. In embarrassment, she wrapped the blazer tightly around herself and

fled the room as quickly as possible.

When she left the room, she was surprised to notice that all the men were staring at her like a spotlight.

Darnell locked his gaze on her as if his eyes were x-rays attempting to see through her.

Catalina was embarrassed, but she had no idea what to say.

Catalina pretended she didn't see them, then quickly bolted away while lowering her head.

She left the villa in a hurry without even changing her clothes. Emery was serving coffee to a guest

when Catalina entered the front room, but she dragged her away anyway.

"What happened? You got the evidence?" Emery asked suspiciously.

"Stop asking! Just go."

Catalina and Emery stood on the side of the road to hail a cab.

However, many taxis drove right by them without stopping. They seemed to be all booked up.

"Lina, you don't need to be in such a rush. Did they caught you while you were filming? No, that won't Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

be the case. You couldn't have escaped safely if you had really been caught."

Catalina had no idea why she was in such a hurry. "It's not like he'll come after me anyway." She

thought to herself.

"Whose blazer is this? It appears to belong to a man."

Emery asked after noticing the jacket.

"Could it belong to that big shot? Wow! He's so sweet to you!"

"This blazer is from the top luxury brand amiu! Oh my goodness! They only do haute couture, and a

suit will set you back several hundred thousand dollars! Is it true he gave you his jacket? I still can't

believe it!"

Catalina knew that Bennett was wealthy enough to live extravagantly for the rest of his life, but she had

not anticipated his jacket to be so pricey.

"Really, Lina, he gave you his blazer? Is this a sign that he's interested in you? You don't have to work

anymore if this is the case. You'll be living a luxurious life if you can be his lover."

"Don't be ridiculous!"

Catalina patted Emery on the back of the head as if trying to wake her up from her daydream. "May I

stay the night at your house?"

She knew she wasn't prepared to confront Bennett.

"That won't be a problem!"

Emery smiled and made an "OK" gesture to her.

A taxi with red lights slowly drove down the street from across the way. Upon seeing the cab pull up,

Emery shouted, "Here!"

The next thing they knew, a black Bentley pulled up in front of them.

Catalina and Emery both took a step back in shock.

A well-dressed man stepped out of the car as soon as the passenger door was opened. "Ms. Grant,

please get in," he said as he opened the back seat door with a bow.

Catalina's heart started racing because she had been in a similar situation before.

Emery let out a shocked gasp and stared in disbelief at what was happening.

Catalina got into the car after she realized she wouldn't be spending the night at Emery's house.

Emery was stunned for a long time and hurriedly got in the car when she noticed Catalina had already

done so.

"Lina, please pinch me! I'm not hallucinating, am I? Here I am, riding in a million-dollar luxurious car."

Catalina was in no mood to reply to Emery's joke.

Catalina noticed that the limousine she was riding in was the second in a line of vehicles, and a dozen

black limousines followed her.

The limousine in front of them was significantly more expensive and luxurious than the one she was on.

Catalina had a feeling Bennett was in the car in front of them.

Emery soon realized the same thing, so she leaned close to Catalina's ear and whispered, "Is that big

shot sitting in the car in front of us? Who is he, anyway? Look at all those fancy cars!"

Catalina shook her head without saying anything.

After about 30 minutes, the car pulled up in front of an apartment complex.

"Here we are, Miss Stein."

Emery, still stunned, stepped out of the car and asked, "How did you find out I live here? That I didn't

even tell you!"

Catalina was speechless as she realized Bennett had already checked everything about the people

around her.

"What's going on here? You're not going to spend the night at my house tonight, are you?" Emery

asked Catalina after she left the car.

Catalina had a headache because she didn't think Bennett would let her spend the night at another

person's house. "Perhaps next time!"

All the cars headed for Shaffer Mountain after Emery left.

Sitting in the first limo, Darnell couldn't help but ask, "Ben, what the hell is going on? Are you sure you

want to bring this woman back to Sophora Villa? She's a call girl! Do you think that's the right thing to

do?"

"Did you hear her just say I'm her husband?"

Bennett interjected Darnell and asked.

"What's the big deal? You're going to marry her just because of that? You have no idea that many

women would give anything to be your wife."

"To put it another way, I'm married."

"What?"

"You can call her Lina from now on."

Darnell's eyes widened in terror as if he was struck by lightning.

"What the hell? Is he married? How is this even possible?" Darnell thought to himself.

Cars arrived shortly after at Sophora Villa, halfway up the hill.

"Please take Mr. Wyatt back to Poplar Villa," Bennett said to the driver after getting out of the car.

"Sure!" The driver replied.

Darnell exclaimed in the car, "Ben! I haven't finished my sentence yet!"

Bennett ignored him and marched straight through the door.

All the servants greeted him at the door with respect. "Mr. Shaffer, welcome home!"

Catalina was still sitting in the car. She was too afraid to get out of the car, so she just sat there and

looked around.

The driver reminded Catalina, "Mrs. Shaffer, we're here."

"Okay."

Catalina nodded but remained seated in the car.

She slowly and awkwardly climbed out of the vehicle after briefly checking what was happening inside

the house.

Catalina didn't see Bennett when she entered the house.

When Ralph noticed Catalina continuing to look around, he asked, "Mrs. Shaffer, are you looking for

Mr. Shaffer?"

"I'm not at all." Catalina shook her head, waved her hands, and abruptly stopped searching the area.

Ralph continued, "He's in his room."

"Oh. Fantastic." Catalina breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like she had dodged a bullet.

She entered her room while wearing Bennett's blazer.

While standing on the stone bridge, Catalina noticed the lights of the picturesque villa in the lake's

middle.

Bennett regarded that area as his personal property. No one, including Catalina, was allowed to enter

that villa, while his few servants and Ralph were the exceptions.

Catalina sat on the bridge pier, staring at the villa.

The distance between her and the villa was similar to the distance between Bennett.

Mr. Shaffer would always be noble and superior, and she would never be able to match him because

she was only one of his many admirers.

Catalina took off that jacket and hung it on the pier of a bridge leading to Lake Compound.

"Thanks."

She murmured, then turned around and headed to her room.
