Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 14

Katherine noticed that they were attracting more attention.

She was afraid that such a matter would go out of proportion and badly affect Alice, so she grabbed Alice's arm and pulled her away.

"Stop.Let's just get out of here"

Alice gave Natalie one last look and sneered as she let Katherine pull her away.

It was the second time that Chloe had been humiliated by one person in her entire life.She was mad.

"Alice, do you know what a scheming woman the one beside you is? Everyone in Y City knows that she married my brother for money!"

When Alice heard this, she almost went berserk.

Katherine stopped walking and motioned Alice not to say a word.

"You stand here and wait for me."

Katherine then turned around and walked towards Chloe.

"I have a question for you, Chloe"

Chloe looked at Katherine with disdain.

"Your not very skilled in changing the topic!"

Katherine ignored the remark and raised her eyebrows.

"Would you say that you have a good relationship with your brother?" Chloe stood still.

She was completely taken aback by the question.

Katherine didn't wait for her to answer and hurriedly said, "I'm sure since you have a good relationship with him.You would know that when I divorced him, I didn't take a single cent from him!"

She looked at Chloe.

The smile on Katherine's face faded away and was replaced by a chilling coldness as she said those words.

Her voice may not be loud, but everyone who was closely watching heard every word.

Katherine then turned and walked away.

Everyone knew that although Chloe and Zack were born from the same parents, Victoria had already divorced Zack's father when he was only three years old.

People later found out that she received a hefty sum of settlement money from the Colburn family for divorcing Zack's father.

Afterward, Victoria gave birth to Chloe and her brother, Cody Colburn, from Victoria's affair.

Therefore, Zack and Chloe maybe brother and sister but they had never loved each other like a real family.

Katherine had said those few words intending to let everyone know the truth and put Chloe in her proper place.

Katherine had made a graceful exit.

"Katherine Wilson, you are amazing!"

Alice watched as Katherine walked towards her and secretly gave her a thumbs up when no one was looking.

Alice took her to the open-air area.

They were almost alone, aside from a few people who were enjoying some fresh air.

Alice continued to give Katherine compliments almost to the point of exaggeration.

Before Alice could say another compliment, her phone rang.

She looked like a wilted flower when she saw Helen's name on the caller ID.

"Helen is looking for me.The boss of the jewelry brand is her.It's time for me to work.If you feel bored, you can always go home!"

Since Alice had already achieved her goal of bringing Katherine out here today, she also felt responsible for ensuring Katherine wouldn't be alone and cold here.

The boss of the jewelry brand was a patient man.

Although Alice was a little willful, she still made sure to act professionally.

Alice waved Katherine goodbye and picked up her dress to walk back inside.

Katherine smiled as she watched Alice retreating.

The place wasn't exactly teeming with many people, but wine and snacks were abundant.

Katherine glanced at the lounging chair near the swimming pool.

She raised her eyebrows and walked over.

Katherine was wearing high-heeled shoes and had been standing for nearly an hour.

She was a little tired, and no one would bother her here.

It was a perfect time for her to take a rest.

The lights in the floor-to-ceiling windows cast a bright red glow on the outside.

Katherine sat on the lounging chair and dazedly watched the sparkling pool water.

"Katherine."

She didn't know how long Natalie had been standing there, but she looked up at Natalie and stood up from the chair.

"Natalie? What is it?"

"You amaze me, Katherine.When I sent you the photo, I thought you wouldn't care.I didn't expect you to make such a bold move’ Katherine raised her eyebrows.

"So, you're reprimanding me?"

"Of course not” Natalie looked at Katherine then remembered what Zack's secretary said that day.

The smile on her face gradually faded.

"Well then, since there is nothing else, I will go first.’ Katherine smiled at Alice and walked back to the hall.

"Wait!"

She looked down at the hand holding her wrist and into Natalie's face.

She frowned and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"How about we make a bet, Katherine?" Natalie said urgently.

"A bet on what?"

"Let's make a bet.If we both fall into the water, who do you think Zack would save? You or me?" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Katherine followed Natalie's line of sight and found Zack watching them from the French window.

"No way.Zack and I have already divorced.There is no need to treat me as your enemy, Natalie."

From that angle, it was impossible for Zack to see her expression.

Natalie sneered and tightened her grip on Katherine's hand, intending to drag Katherine into the pool.

"This is not up to you.Katherine, I...ah!"

Before Natalie could finish, Katherine had already raised her leg and kicked Natalie on her shin.
