A Tale Of Redemption And Passion by Isidore Walsh (Chapters 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186, 187, 188, 189, 190)  

Chapter 181

“You! Kate, are you afraid of me? You’re hiding in the car and not daring to get out, right?” Grace tried to goad her. Kate smiled. “That’s right. I’m quite afraid of you, Miss Weaver. I’m even more afraid that you will slap me. Then I can’t help but retaliate, so you might not be able to go out for a few days.”

“Kate, you offended me first. How dare you retaliate!” Grace pointed at her.

Kate was amused. “Miss Weaver, you’re really funny. If you hit me, why can’t I fight back? I’m not a fool.”

Grace stamped. “Are you getting off or not!”

Kate shook her head. “Miss Weaver, I don’t think I’m at fault for what happened yesterday. Although you liked Alfred a lot in the past, if he is willing to marry you now, will you say yes? Since you gave up on him, what’s wrong with him coming to me? What does it have to do with you?”

Kate did not think that she was in the wrong. It was Grace who despised Alfred’s impotence and crippled legs and abandoned him to find richer men.

But now that Alfred treated Kate better, Grace was jealous and even called to scold her. Kate only said a few words of truth, and Grace was already so angry. Today, she even came to her in person. This woman was so greedy that she allowed no one to approach what she had dumped.

But Alfred was not a thing. He was a living person.

Grace widened her eyes in anger. “I don’t care. Anyway, Alfred can’t be good to you or other women. Even if he is impotent and crippled, he can only be good to me. Whoever gets special treatment from him is my enemy.

“Kate, if you know what’s good for you, immediately move out of the Davidson family and promise not to see Alfred again. He treats you well, but you can also reject it. Belinda has always been designing gowns and rarely touches daily clothes. Even if I, Grace Weaver have to flatter her nicely just to get some. How could a bumpkin like you get 40 sets at once?”

The more Grace spoke, the angrier she became. Jealousy made her face twist.

Kate’s ability to get 40 sets of clothes from Belinda could just make Grace moderately jealous, but not enough to make her so mad.

But when Alfred personally made this request to Belinda, Grace fell into the violent winds and huge waves of envy and almost drowned.

Kate raised her head. “Yeah, it’s me, a bumpkin, got 40 sets of daily clothes designed by Belinda. Miss Weaver, would you like to buy half of them? Belinda’s works are definitely top-notch. I’ll sell one set for 100 thousand dollars. It should be a nice deal, right?”

Kate still remembered that in order to attend Grace’s birthday banquet, she especially went to buy a few evening gowns from Belinda, each of which cost tens of thousands of dollars. So 100 thousand dollars was really a good price. She did not ask for an exorbitant price just because Grace was her love rival.

Grace’s face was livid. “Kate, get out immediately. Nobody wants your clothes.”

“I don’t. What can you do to me?” Kate crossed her arms. “You are afraid of me.” Grace sneered.

“That’s right. I admitted it just now. I’m really afraid of you, Miss Weaver. You’re the daughter of the Weaver family, so high and mighty. How can a bumpkin like me breathe the same air with you? So I’m afraid. I’m so afraid that I’m trembling. Miss Weaver, please spare me. Hurry up and move your car away.” Kate hoped that Yael would not arrive so quickly. Otherwise, she would be finished.

Grace’s finger trembled as she pointed at Kate. “Kate, you’re so shameless. You’re lying through your teeth. Do you believe I will dare to pull you out of the car?”

Kate said, “I do. Of course, you dare. Maybe because a beast has more guts.”

Grace was reduced to silence. She could be considered to have a sharp tongue, but when bickering with Kate, she was obviously at a disadvantage.

Grace suddenly came forward and raised her hand. At this moment, Kate rolled up the window swiftly. And Grace’s palm landed on the cold and hard glass.

Kate did not know if Grace’s palm hurt. In any case, the car window sounded painful. Fortunately, it was not shattered. Grace hadn’t been strong enough to shatter the car window with one palm.

If it were Kate, she would hit it into pieces with a single slap! She mocked Grace in her heart. ‘How dare you fight with me for Alfred with such abject skills? You stupid woman is simply overestimating yourself.

Grace shouted. “Kate, get out of the car. If you don’t, I’ll barge into your company and complain to your father!” Kate rolled her eyes and pushed open the door. “Grace Weaver, why can’t you just let me go? If you’re in a bad mood, go to the beach and shout at the sea. I guarantee that you’ll feel better. I won’t refuse to see Alfred, nor will I leave him. You despise him, but I don’t. And why should I listen to you? By the way, he doesn’t seem to treat you well either, right?”

Grace was furious. “It’s none of your business. Who told you he treats me badly? You’re just his nanny. Do you know what that means? Alfred is simply taking revenge on you. Do you think he is pampering you?”

“If that’s the case, Miss Weaver, why are you pestering me all the time?” Kate shrugged.

Grace was silent. Then she raised her hand again, making another attempt to slap Kate.

Kate squatted down and Grace’s slap flew across the air. She was so angry that she kicked.

But Kate instinctively grabbed her leg and took off her shoe, shaking it in the air as if she was showing off her trophy.” Miss Weaver, you’re actually racing in high heels and didn’t get into an accident. That’s God’s blessing.”

“Kate, return my shoe to me, you damn bumpkin. You’ll regret it!” Grace warned.

Without a shoe, Grace stepped on the ground with one foot while the other was hanging in the air. It was not easy for her to keep balance so she jumped a few times.

In the past, as long as people knew that she was the Weaver family’s daughter, they would curry favor with her, afraid that if they accidentally offended her, the Weaver family would take revenge.

However, Kate did not take her seriously at all, probably because she had Alfred’s back.

He had personally asked Belinda to design Kate’s daily clothes, shockingly 40 sets. This meant that he valued her so much.

Thinking of this, Grace’s mind was boiling with jealousy.

Chapter 182

“Miss Weaver, I grew up in the countryside, so what?” said Kate. “Are any country bumpkins inferior? You keep calling me a country bumpkin. Without us country bumpkins, can you eat money as food no matter how rich you are? Which of the things you buy isn’t planted by the country bumpkins?” “Kate, return my shoe to me immediately!” said Grace, who only wanted her shoe back.

It wasn’t pleasant for her to hop like that, which was too embarrassing.

Grace would tear Kate apart if the media photographed her like that.

Kate looked at Grace’s shoe, which was diamond-studded.

“If you want your shoe back, hop over and pick it up,” said Kate.

Then Kate threw Grace’s shoe away.

The shoe drew a beautiful arc in the air before falling to the ground, far away from Kate and Grace.

“Kate Sutton!”

“Miss Weaver, I’m not deaf. I can hear you. You don’t have to shout so loudly.”

“Kate Sutton, fetch my shoe right now, or I’ll show you no mercy.”

“Whether I pick up your shoe or not, Miss Weaver, you won’t show me mercy.”

“You!”

A bodyguard car approached them from afar.

The driver was Yael.

He saw Kate arguing with Grace from afar. Worried Kate would suffer a loss, Yael quickly stepped on the accelerator.

Then, his car rolled over Grace’s shoe.

Kate saw the scene and sadly said, “It’s embedded with diamonds.”

Can I go over and pick up the diamonds now?’ thought Kate.

Grace was speechless.

She was already dizzy from Kate’s shamelessness and could faint at any moment.

Grace immediately hopped over when she saw the car that had crushed her shoe was the bodyguard car of the Davidson family.

Yael was dumbfounded.

Grace had actually hopped over, wearing only a shoe. Where was her other shoe?

In Yael’s eyes, a rich young lady like Grace was like a princess. Her every word and action exuded a noble aura. She would not do such an indecent thing as hopping. Who forced Grace, the dignified lady of the Weaver family, to this state?

Yael secretly gave a thumbs up inwardly. “The person is amazing. It seems to be Kate,” thought Yael.

Yael realized what had happened and sighed in his heart.’ Kate is such a character!’ thought Yael.

Yael got out after parking the car.

“Yael,” Grace called out to Yael.

Without waiting for Yael to reply, Grace instructed Yael,” Yael, go and help me pull out the tongue of Kate, the country bumpkin. Don’t worry, I’ll bear all the responsibility and won’t implicate you.”

Yael looked at her feet and said, “Miss Weaver, do you want me to buy a pair of shoes for you first?”

“No. I have a few pairs of shoes in my car. Go and get one for me.”

Grace handed her car key to Yael.

After a while, Grace realized how stupid she was. She thought, ‘Why didn’t I go to my car to change my shoes before walking over? Wasn’t the way I hopped around funny just now?’

“Yael, you can’t tell Mr. Davidson what happened just now, said Grace.!”

Yael took the car key from her and said indifferently, “I’m not that talkative.”

Alfred was not interested in Grace and did not like to listen to any gossip about Grace. If Yael gossiped once, Alfred would punish Yael by repeating what Yael had said for the entire night without stopping!

Yael took the car key and opened Grace’s car door. He also felt Grace’s parking skills were too lousy, so he moved the direction in which Grace’s car was parked and then parked it at the side of the entrance of the Sutton Group. So the car would not block anyone’s way.

Grace was speechless.

Kate was silent.

Yael, you’re too late to help,’ thought Kate.

Even if Kate wanted to go in, she did not dare to touch the steering wheel in front of Yael, Mr. Davidson’s number one confidant.

Yael took the shoes and handed them to Grace. After Grace put them on, she slammed the shoe she had taken off toward Kate.

Yael was shocked, but it was too late for him to stop her. Kate steadily caught the high heel Grace threw at her.

Upon seeing Grace rushing over angrily, Kate threw Grace’s shoe aside. When she remembered the shoes were embedded with diamonds, she blamed herself for being too impulsive. She had not even removed the diamonds yet.

Grace was still using the same trick, either slapping or kicking.

With Kate’s skills, how could Grace touch her? Grace was so angry that she shouted, “Yael, come over and help me take Kate down. I’ll reward you handsomely!”

Yael was silent.

He wouldn’t dare to take down Kate no matter how bold he was.

It would be odd if Alfred didn’t skin him alive.

Kate was Alfred’s favorite. Alfred couldn’t even bear to lay a finger on Kate.

“Yael,” said Kate, “women fighting has nothing to do with men like you. Just watch the show aside. Go to the security room and get a coffee if you feel bored. You enjoy watching the show while drinking coffee.”

Yael was at a loss for words.

‘Kate is awesome!’ thought Yael, admiring Kate greatly.

Yael did not interfere with them because he could not get in.

He knew what Kate was capable of. She did not need his help.

Anyway, not only did Grace not touch Kate but she was also pissed off by Kate.

Finally, the actions of Kate and Grace, of course, alarmed Leland and Kyla who were in the company. They quickly came out. Kyla stopped Grace, so Grace was not pissed off by Kate.

Leland was originally worried Grace would injure Kate because when he came out and saw Kate could only dodge and escape, he thought Kate was at a disadvantage. After Kyla stopped Grace, Leland pulled Kate aside and looked at her with concern. He was relieved to see Kate was calm and composed without even a trace of injury.

On the other hand, Grace’s face was ashen. It was obvious she was furious. Even her hair was messy.

“What’s going on?” Leland asked Kate in a low voice.

“Mr. Sutton, you’ve raised a good daughter. I won’t give up.

Just wait, the Sutton Group!” said Grace.

Grace felt she had been humiliated and hated Kate.

However, there was nothing she could do about Kate. After shaking off Kyla, she threw threatening words at them. Then she got into her car and drove away.

“Grace, Grace!”

Leland frowned because of what Grace said before she left.

He would surely panic and blame Kate for causing trouble again if it were in the past. Now, he only wanted to know what happened.

Leland knew Kate very well. If one didn’t offend Kate, Kate would never offend one.

She was a typical person who did not offend anyone. However, if one offended her, she would pay one back double.

“Kyla, chase after Miss Weaver. You two have always been on good terms, so apologize to her properly.”

Although Leland had the Regency Group as his backer, he was not afraid of the Weaver Group. Unwilling to make an enemy, he asked Kyla to go after Grace.

Chapter 183

Kyla glared at Kate and said, “Kate, how many times have I told you? Please think of the Sutton Group every time you do something. Don’t always make enemies for the Sutton Group.”

The people Kate provoked were all the big shots in the city. Others could not wait to curry favor with them, but Kate was the one who did the opposite.

Kyla was pissed off!

“Kyla, I can’t not fight back when someone comes to me. It’s not that I want to make enemies for the Sutton Group. It’s that the enemy who took the initiative to find trouble with me.”

Kyla glared at her and left to chase after Grace.

After Kyla left, Leland asked Kate, “Kate, tell me, what’s on earth happened? How did you and Miss Weaver get into such a big fight?”

It alarmed everyone in the company.

Although Grace had always been arrogant and

condescending, Grace wouldn’t be so furious if Kate didn’t do anything,

In the eyes of so many people in the company, Kate’s move was undoubtedly making an enemy for the Sutton Group, which was not conducive to Kate taking over the Sutton Group.

Now, they still favored Kyla inwardly.

If Kate took over the Sutton Group, those people would definitely think the Sutton Group was over.

Leland was not an old-fashioned man. If Kate only knew how to cause trouble, for the future of the Sutton Group, he would still choose to hand the company over to Kyla, his adopted daughter, to manage. At most, he would ensure Kate, his biological daughter, would not have to worry about her life in the future.

However, now that Kate was married to Alfred, he would have nothing to worry about Kate for the rest of her life.

Leland nodded at Yael. Although Yael was a bodyguard, Leland did not dare to underestimate Yael because he was one of Alfred’s trusted subordinates.

“Dad, Miss Weaver was jealous and deliberately found trouble with me,” Kate said helplessly. “She wanted to hit me, but I avoided her. She didn’t give up and kept hitting me. I didn’t fight back either. I just dodged to prevent her from hitting me. I don’t want to become an enemy with Miss Weaver. It’s all Alfred’s fault.”

“Kate!”

Leland scolded his daughter in a low voice and glared at her. He quietly pouted in Yael’s direction and reminded Kate not to badmouth Alfred in front of Yael.

‘What does it have to do with Alfred?’ thought Leland.

Leland wanted to ask, but he understood what Kate meant when he recalled Grace’s love and pursuit of Alfred. He asked lightly, “Has Miss Weaver found out about your relationship with Mr. Davidson?”

Alfred did not actively publicize their relationship. Leland still kept it a secret now. Even Kyla did not know Kate was already Mrs. Davidson of the Davidson family.

“I don’t know. Alfred asked Belinda to design forty sets of clothes for me. When Miss Weaver found out, she was upset. She came to me and told me to get out of Sherpsel and wanted me never to see Alfred again. She kept calling me a country bumpkin. Dad, I didn’t do anything and was very patient.”

Leland said nothing and thought, ‘I see. I really can’t blame Kate. If I want to blame someone, I should blame Alfred for being too outstanding and captivating for many women.’

Leland recalled his wife had been sighing since she returned from the Davidson family. She felt Kate had jumped into the fire pit of the Davidson family. As Kate’s parents, they were helpless because their background was not as powerful as the Davidson family.

Leland started to feel sorry for Kate.

Grace was not the only admirer of Alfred’s.

Any one of Alfred’s admirers was not easy to deal with. Alfred and Kate’s relationship had not been made public. Just because Alfred was good to Kate, many troubles had come knocking on their door. If their relationship was made public, wouldn’t those admirers be queuing up to find trouble?

“Dad, Alfred is about to get off work. I promised him we would have lunch together. Look, Yael is already here to pick me up.”

Yael had come to pick her up in advance. Alfred was still in the company.

After silence, Leland said, “Then you can leave with Yael. I have a lunch appointment and have to leave, too. Please let me know if anything happens to you in the future. You don’ t have to do it alone. Don’t take Kyla’s words to heart. She thinks too highly of the Sutton Group.”

“Dad, I won’t argue with her.”

Kate didn’t mean what she said.

Leland had feelings for Kyla, his adopted daughter.

Kate knew her father would not make a final choice before she could take over the Sutton Group.

Yael picked Kate up and quickly left the Sutton Group.

The Sutton Group was very close to the Regency Group. Within minutes, Kate reached the Regency Group.

Kate would feel nervous every time she entered the Regency Group. The main reason was the atmosphere there made her feel depressed. The Regency Group and the Sutton Group were both large companies, but the Sutton Group would not have such an atmosphere.

It was the time to get off work, but no one was moving.

Kate guessed Alfred was still at work, so the employees were afraid to leave first. It was also possible Alfred was still working. Because his work efficiency was too fast, it made it difficult for the people below to follow him. If Alfred got off work first, their work would pile up.

The high-intensity work made the Regency Group’s employees nervous.

Kate knocked on the door of Alfred’s office alone.

She wanted Yael or Lily to accompany her but was rejected. “Come in!”

Alfred’s voice sounded. Kate took a deep breath. She felt she had not done anything wrong and should not be criticized. She pushed open the office door and walked in. As Kate entered, she smiled sweetly and said, “Alfred, I’m here to pick you up from work.”

“Close the door,” Alfred ordered her coldly.

Kate turned around and closed the office door.

Alfred sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back facing Kate. It was unknown if he was looking at the blue sky and clouds outside or thinking about something. Kate also smelled tobacco.

When she got closer, she saw he was holding a lighted cigarette in his right hand.

It was the first time Kate had seen Alfred smoke after marrying him for so long. She had always thought he would not smoke.

“Alfred.”

Kate turned around and squatted in front of Alfred. She smiled sweetly and said, “It’s time to get off work. Let’s go.” Then she reached out to take the cigarette he was holding, saying, “Why are you smoking? You should smoke less.”

“You mind my own business?” said Alfred.

“Yes, I do. You are my husband. I care about your health, so I must mind your business.”

Kate answered matter-of-factly and domineeringly.

After she stubbed out his cigarette and threw it away, she returned to him. Alfred stared at her quietly for a long time before gesturing for her to bend.

“Want to whisper to me?” asked Kate, who did as instructed.

Then, Alfred flicked her forehead ruthlessly.

“Alfred, you’re playing with me again. I knew it wouldn’t be good if you asked me to bend.”

Kate quickly straight up, touching where she aggrievedly had been flicked. She looked at Alfred aggrievedly. Her expression made Alfred’s heart soften. He sighed silently and pulled her to sit on his lap, hugging her.

Chapter 184

“Tell me, what did you do this morning? Did you ever listen to me?

“You said I’m your husband, and you have to control me for my health. So, for your safety, I have to control you too. How often have I told you not to drive by yourself? It feels good to race again, huh?” Alfred said sternly.

Kate was lost for words.

‘Does he have clairvoyance and clairaudience? How would he know I raced again? Of course, it felt good to race,’ wondered Kate, but she had no guts to say that aloud. “Honey,” Kate called out softly.

“Nope. It’s not working on me,” said Alfred.

“Please, don’t be mad. You’re the most forgiving man in the world. You’re the best to me, aren’t you?” Kate pleaded.

Alfred did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Kate always knew how to ease his temper.

“One of my men was following Grace,” said Alfred.

Kate was surprised before she left his embrace. Her pretty face stiffened, and her eyes widened as she asked sourly,” Alfred, did you arrange for someone to follow Grace and protect her? I’m your wife. Why didn’t you ask your man to protect me?”

She added, “I know. You used to like Grace, but the accident happened before you could confess your love to her. You didn’t want to drag Grace down, so you were cold to her and forced her to give up on you, right? People like you like to make arrangements silently. It must be like this. Alfred, say something! I don’t care who you liked in the past. After we get married, you must be loyal to me, physically and mentally! I’ll never share a man with another woman. I find it disgusting!”

Alfred waited for her to bombard him before saying helplessly, “Babe, calm down. Can’t you hear me out before you get jealous?”

However, Kate’s jealousy pleased Alfred. It showed how much she cared about him.

Kate said, still fuming, “Alright, go ahead. Let me see how you explain yourself.”

‘No wonder Alfred knows about my racing. His man was keeping an eye on Grace! How would he not know I was racing since Grace had been chasing after me?’ Kate thought.

“I did it for you.” Alfred explained gently, “Grace is overbearing and arrogant. I asked Belinda to design clothes for you. Grace knew it and looked for trouble with you, didn’t she? I was worried she would hurt you, so I asked my men to follow her.

“I didn’t let anyone follow you because I didn’t want to give you the illusion that I was watching you. If I wanted to know what you’re doing every day, I could have known, but I didn’t do that. I know you don’t like that, so I respect and give you enough freedom.”

Kate’s anger dissipated in an instant.

If Alfred had arranged for someone to follow her, she would feel Alfred was spying on her. She would also feel she did not have the slightest freedom.

Kate had to admit Alfred knew her very well and was attentive and considerate.

“Alright, I’ve explained it. Now, how should I punish you?” Alfred changed the topic, and his tone became serious. Kate said, “How about I write a long self-reflection letter?” “Did you hand in the letter last time?” Alfred asked.

“I-I’ll write double this time, alright?” Kate said.

Alfred could not stay mad at her. He pulled her back into his arms and said dotingly, “Kate, promise me you won’t race anymore. If anything happens, it’ll be too late to repent. Let the driver send you wherever you want to go. I’ll tell James to arrange for a driver to be on standby. A car will await you whenever you leave the company.”

“Okay,” Kate agreed.

“Alfred, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose. I couldn’t help it,” she apologized.

Alfred understood.

Before he was crippled, he would sometimes drive to the suburbs and seek the excitement of racing.

“Alfred,” Kate suddenly said.

“Yes?” Alfred replied.

“I offended two people in a row today. What should I do?” Kate asked.

She nestled in Alfred’s arms, smelling his fragrant scent and listening to his steady heartbeat. She looked like she had gotten into big trouble.

“Who did you offend? Grace? Didn’t you offend her long ago?” Alfred was curious.

“And Melanie,” Kate told Alfred what had happened. “I’m not a troublemaker. They’re the ones who’ve gone too far. Grace keeps finding trouble with me. Alfred, this is your fault. If you weren’t so outstanding and had charmed so many women, they wouldn’t have found trouble with me. Grace is too much. She abandoned… She’s already given up on you, yet she doesn’t allow me to be with you.”

Alfred laughed and said, “Alright, it’s my fault. I implicated my love. Please forgive me.”

“Alfred, call me that again.” Kate felt so sweet.

Alfred did not disappoint her. He called her his love a few times in a mellow and intoxicating voice.

Kate’s smile was as bright as the sun outside.

Like a beam of light, it shone into Alfred’s world.

“Kate, whether it’s Melanie or Grace, you don’t have to fear them. If they offend you, fight back. No matter what happens, I’ll always support you. Remember, you’re my wife. You don’t need to be afraid of anyone,” Alfred said sincerely.

Kate smiled, “Alfred, you’re too nice to me. You’ll spoil me, you know? You’ll need to clean up my mess if I annoy people everywhere. How can you stand me like that?”

Alfred lowered his head and planted a kiss on her lips. He said hoarsely, “I like to dote on you till only I can accept and tolerate you. You’ll be mine for the rest of your life when no one else can stand you.”

“Don’t worry, if you don’t chase me away, I’ll never leave you. No, even if you ask me to go, I won’t leave. You can’t be rid of me,” Kate promised.

Alfred grinned. “I know it. You forced me to marry you the moment you woke up. Kate, how did you ever dare to say such those words to me?”

She had said either he married her or she would marry him. Why did Alfred agree to Kate in the end?

Alfred thought perhaps it was Kate’s domineering attitude that made him reevaluate her and agree to her request. Of course, he had wanted to teach her a lesson as well.

Alfred thought about everything they had been through and could not help but laugh in his heart. He could never have imagined it.

He was used to dominating everything and believed it was his right to do so, but it did not work on Kate.

“Kate, you don’t need to compromise, understand? No matter who it is, there’s nothing your husband can’t settle. You don’t have to tolerate the others,” said Alfred.

Kate raised her chin. She narrowed her eyes and said sweetly to Alfred, “Honey, I’m so touched that I want to kiss you.”

Alfred did not reply.

He closed the distance between them, and their lips touched.

It was not the first time they kissed, but Alfred still felt his heart palpitate every time they kissed.

He loved the feeling of kissing her.

After the passionate kiss, Alfred’s slender fingers lingered on her red lips. His deep eyes overflowed with affection.

“Honey, I think I’m in love with you,” Kate said softly.

Chapter 185

Alfred asked, “Of course. Who else do you dare to be in love with?”

As if she dared!

Alfred let go of the fact that Kate used to love Chris, but Kate could love no one else but him ever after. “No one. I can’t stop loving you even if I want to. You’re too good to me. I’m intoxicated and can’t extricate myself. I even smile when I dream of how nice you are to me,” Kate said.

“But I often see you wake up crying in your dreams,” Alfred said.

Kate rolled her eyes. “Alfred, you’ve ruined it. You’re terrible at chatting.”

Alfred laughed. “That’s something I’ll have to admit. I’m used to ordering people around and negotiating.”

Doing business was the same as negotiating.

Alfred gave orders in the company and even at home.

He always put himself in a superior position.

Only his good friends could chat with him.

At the thought of his friends, Alfred looked a little down. Ever since he was crippled, even though his good friends still treated him as before, he had somehow felt inferior and did not want to be with them anymore. Oswald said it had been long since Alfred last hung out with them.

“Kate, do you want to go out this weekend? How about I take you to our racecourse this weekend?”

Kate’s eyes lit up when she heard that. “That’ll be great. I want to ride a horse.”

Alfred nodded. “I’ll ask Yael to inform the racecourse to be prepared. We’ll go there this weekend. We can invite our friends to join in the fun. Do you have any friends other than Xena?”

“Only her in Sherpsel. The others despise me for growing up in the countryside and don’t want to be friends with me.

My old friends are all far away. They’re not in the city. It’s hard to get together. Besides, they don’t have time. They’re all busy taking care of their children,” Kate answered.

Her friends married early. Although they were about the same age, some of Kate’s friends had already given birth to a second child.

When Kate reunited with her biological parents, she had not dated anyone for a long time.

“Alfred, will you look down on Xena? Xena is nice. It’s just that her hobby is not decent in people’s eyes.”

“How would I look down on my wife’s best friend? Invite her. Oh, right, have you found her?”

“I have. Xena said her phone was out of battery, and she was penniless. She walked home after leaving the Purchas family’s house but took the wrong path, so she only

reached home this morning.”

Kate did not believe Xena’s words but did not point it out.

She had always suspected Elijah.

“Have you looked for Elijah?” Alfred asked.

Kate hesitated for a moment before admitting honestly, ” Yes. Elijah promised to help find Xena. But soon after I left Purchas Group, Xena’s mother called and said Xena had returned home.”

After that, Kate quickly explained, “Alfred, I went to look for Elijah because I was worried about Xena. Otherwise, I would have stayed far away from him. Don’t misunderstand, I don’t have any feelings for Elijah either.”

Elijah’s attitude toward her made Kate a little afraid.

Alfred’s face was solemn. He suppressed his jealousy a moment later and said, “I knew you would see Elijah for Xena.”

“I’m sorry,” Kate said apologetically.

“You don’t have to apologize to me. You did that for your friend. I wouldn’t fall for you if you were heartless,” Alfred said tolerantly.

“Alright, let’s grab some lunch. My appointment with the school founder is at 1:10 PM. It’ll be just in time after lunch,” he added.

“Thank you, Alfred.” Kate was sincere “That’s so sweet of you to arrange everything for me.”

The best thing she did in her second chance of life was to marry Alfred.

Alfred gently pinched Kate’s lips and loved the way it felt. He lowered his head and kissed her mouth again. It was not until Kate was almost out of breath did Alfred let go of her.

Forgetting to say anything else, Kate meekly pushed him out.

The couple naturally went to Cheval Blanc.

Theo was there waiting for them.

Seeing them, Theo went over to greet them with a smile.

“You have a lot of free time these days?” Alfred asked his younger brother coldly.

Alfred did not like his brother being around Kate. Even though he knew that Theo could not have other intentions, Alfred just did not like it.

“Alfred, it’s lunchtime now. No matter how busy I am, I have to eat, right?” Theo said helplessly.

Theo was afraid his brother would send him on a business trip overseas.

He did not want to go somewhere remote and preventing him from charming the girls in the city.

Alfred snorted and fell into silence.

“Kate, something seems to be wrong with you.” Theo turned to Kate

He noticed Kate was always smiling secretly, and her lips were a little swollen. Theo asked with concern, “Kate, are you alright?”

Alfred turned his head to look at his wife behind him and happened to see her smiling gently at Theo. He was annoyed and said sternly, “What could be wrong with Kate?

Is she wearing her clothes or her pants backward?”

Theo asked, “Alfred, why do you have to talk to me with a chip on your shoulder?”

He wondered what he had done to offend Alfred.

Kate came back to her senses and hurriedly said, “Theo, I’m fine. I was just thinking about the future of your brother and me. It was a smile of happiness.”

Theo sighed. “What a sweet pair of lovebirds.”

He regretted to ask Kate.

Alfred’s annoyance disappeared without a trace.

It turned out Kate was not smiling at Theo. Instead, she was thinking about their future happiness and smiled from the bottom of her heart.

Alfred secretly swore to make Kate the happiest woman in Sherpsel.

Alfred ordered a full table of dishes, many of which were Kate’s favorites.

Theo ate with his brother and sister-in-law. When he noticed most of the dishes on the table were those he liked to eat, he could not help but complain to Alfred, “Alfred, I don’t recall you like these dishes. Why do you always order them recently?”

“You don’t like them?” asked Alfred.

“My taste is about the same as yours. You know that,” Theo replied.

“I ordered them for Kate. These are her favorites. Do you have a problem with it? If so, don’t sit here. You can leave right now and order something you like,” Alfred said.

Theo immediately lowered his head and ate.

He wished he could take back his words.

Suddenly, Alfred put some food Theo disliked on Theo’s plate.

“Alfred!” Theo protested with a long face.

Alfred glared at him.

Theo did not dare to make a sound anymore. He lowered his head again.

Alfred had barely put any food on Theo’s plate. No matter what it was, Theo would swallow it down.

Not to mention that the food Alfred picked for Theo was quite tasty.

“Alfred, you don’t like these dishes?” Kate asked.

However, ever since she started eating with him, they had ordered those dishes many times. Kate had thought Alfred had the same taste as hers.

Chapter 186

“I’m not a picky eater. I’m easy to take care of,” Alfred replied, glaring at his younger brother…

Theo lowered his head even more and mumbled, “Kate, I’m picky. I don’t like sweet and sour food. My brother eats. everything.” He didn’t want to provoke Alfred.

“Theo is good at cooking. That’s normal.” Kate said, “Theo, when are you going to cook for me? I’d like to have a try.” She thought, ‘The dishes cooked by the general manager of Cheval Blanc must be delicious. Mr. Davidson said his brother was a top chef, so he let him manage the restaurant business under Regency Group.’

Theo raised his head and looked at Kate. He wanted to refuse, but he noticed from the corner of his eye that Alfred was staring at him. Theo quickly changed his words and agreed. “How about the weekend? We can throw a party. I’ll cook.”

“But your brother and I have planned to go out this weekend,” said Kate.

“Where are you going?” Theo asked. He was happy to hear that Alfred was willing to spend some time outside. He liked Kate even more. He could feel that Alfred had been changing due to Kate.

Ever since the accident, Alfred had refused to have a vacation, no matter how their grandma had persuaded him. Alfred had been going nowhere but home, company, and the hotel. Everyone in the family was worried about him. “To our racecourse. Do you want to come along?” Alfred asked indifferently. It’d be more fun if Theo joined them.

It had been a long time since he had fun with his brothers.

Unlike Theo, Alfred’s younger brother, Alfred’s cousins didn’t dare to pester him except for when it came to business.

Alfred had dozens of younger cousins, all respected him very much and treated him as the leader both at Davidson’s residence and the company.

“Of course, if you don’t mind. I haven’t ridden a horse in a long time. Alfred, why don’t we bring Robin and the other brothers too?”

Alfred’s expression was indifferent. “Up to you. If you want, inform them. But I don’t force them to go.”

Theo grinned and said, “You don’t have to force them. I am sure they’ll be glad to join. I’ll send a message to the group.”

Kate picked up some food for Alfred. Alfred’s gaze softened and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

“Mr. Davidson, I haven’t seen your cousins yet.”

It was said that the men in the Davidson family were all handsome because their parents had good genes…

Kate had met the ladies in the Davidson family. All of them were well-maintained. For example, her mother-in-law, Lena, looked young enough to be Alfred’s sister.

“Some of them are away on business, and some are still overseas. There are only nine people left in Sherpsel at the moment. If you want to meet them, I’ll tell them to come together at the weekend. But don’t pay too much attention to them.” Alfred emphasized.

Kate was speechless.

“If you want to watch handsome boys, watch me. I am not being arrogant. But I dare to say I am the best-looking among all.” Alfred bragged about himself. But he was telling the truth. Both his ability and his appearance were outstanding. The only thing bad about him was his personality. His cousins were much more easy-going than him.

Kate laughed. “Mr. Davidson, are you jealous? Don’t worry, Mr. Davidson, my heart has no room for anyone else. It’s all yours.”

Alfred looked at Kate deeply.

Theo thought to himself, ‘They are showing off in front of me to make me envious. I’ll show off in front of them too when I get a girlfriend.”

After dinner and a short break, Alfred went to Sherpsel etiquette school with Kate.

The principal, John Miller, was already waiting at the school gate. When he saw Alfred’s cars slowly approaching, he immediately smiled. He was afraid that he had waited for nothing.

Looking at the time, the principal couldn’t help but praise in his heart: ‘Mr. Davidson is really punctual.’ They even arrived two minutes early.

The driver parked the car in the parking lot outside the school gate.

Yael got out of the car first and moved Alfred’s wheelchair out of the car. Kate then helped Alfred out of the car.

“Mr. Davidson.” The principal and a few leaders of the school walked over with a smile.

“Mr. Miller, sorry to keep you waiting.”

Alfred sounded cold. But he didn’t mean any harm. It was just out of habit. But his tone often made other people wonder if they had offended him.

“No, no. We just came out of school,” said John.

“Mr. Miller, this is my wife, Kate Sutton.” This was the first time Alfred introduced Kate as his wife.

John was very surprised to hear this, but he quickly put on a smile and shook hands with Kate.

They welcomed Alfred, Kate, and two bodyguards in. The others stayed outside and waited.

The Sherpsel etiquette school was the best and most famous among the Sherpsel etiquette schools. Many of the upper-class ladies of Sherpsel had learned etiquette here.

After learning about all the etiquette schools in Sherpsel, Alfred finally chose this one.

Alfred did not like wasting time. So after entering John’s office and seating the guests, he went straight to the point.

John also knew that Alfred had come today to enroll for someone but he didn’t expect it to be Kate.

No one knew when Alfred married. They only heard that the

Davidson’s family had once gone to the Sutton family to propose marriage to the biological daughter that the Sutton family had just acknowledged. It must be Kate. After understanding the whole thing, John was instantly curious.

Everyone in Sherpsel knew that Kate refused the marriage but in the end, she still married Alfred. John wondered if she had given in due to the great power of the Davidson. family.

As the principal of an etiquette school, John daily got along with students from the noble family. Yet he did not receive any news about the marriage of Alfred and Kate. Oswald didn’t tell him the details.

“Mr. Miller, my wife is busy during the day, she can only come to class at night. I hope you don’t mind.”

John smiled and said, “No problem. Mrs. Davidson can come over whenever she is free.”

He knew that his school would be more popular if Kate graduated from there. If the Davidson family chose his school, it’d become recognized by the upper-class society. As Alfred’s wife, Kate was the most honorable woman in Sherpsel after all.

“Thank you,” Alfred said politely.

Kate also thanked him. She knew that if it wasn’t for Alfred, it would have been very difficult for her to enter Sherpsel’s etiquette school, let alone receive special care.

曲

Chapter 187

“Mr. Davidson, Mrs. Davidson, you are welcome. It’s our honor.”

John seemed to see rich people in the city, the neighboring city, and even the entire country sending their daughters to his school to learn etiquette. That was all money. He smiled and was very grateful for Alfred and Kate.

After leaving Sherpsel etiquette school, Alfred asked Kate,” Are you going back to work or going to the hospital to visit Anna?”

Kate looked at the time and said, “I’ll go to work first. I’ll visit Anna after work in the afternoon.”

As a newcomer, she didn’t want to take too much leave.

“Okay, I’ll get Yael to pick you up in the afternoon. I’ll accompany you to the hospital,” said Alfred.

Kate blinked.

Alfred pinched her nose in amusement, causing her to pout coquettishly. He liked it very much and got an urge to hold Kate in his arms.

He did so.

Kate was pulled into his arms and her nose bumped into his chest. She deliberately cried out. Alfred quickly pushed her away and asked anxiously, “Kate, did I hurt you?”

“You have a strong chest.” Kate patted Alfred’s chest and smiled. “It was hard. But it didn’t hurt. I did it on purpose.”

“Are you sure?” Alfred asked.

“Yup,” Kate confirmed.

Alfred held Kate’s face and examined it carefully. Seeing that she was fine, he was relieved. He could not help but bite her lips as punishment and say, “Don’t do this next time. I won’t be able to take it.”

“Okay.” Kate hugged his waist sweetly and leaned against his chest. “Mr. Davidson, do you really want to go to the hospital with me to visit Anna?”

“Why? Are you ashamed of me so you don’t want me to meet your mother?” Alfred teased.

Anna was not Kate’s biological mother, but she had raised Kate. And they got along very well.

Alfred was willing to treat Anna as his mother-in-law. “Nonsense. My husband is the most handsome man in the world. My love for my husband is like the surging of the Mississippi River water. It’s also like the sea, so deep that it can’t be measured.” Kate stopped talking and looked up into Alfred’s smiling blue eyes.

“Why did you stop? I’m listening.”

“I can’t think of any other beautiful sentences due to my limited knowledge,” said Kate.

Alfred could not help but laugh. “It’s always the same lines. I can almost repeat them.”

“At least I have some lines. What about you? I want to hear those three words,” Kate teased.

Alfred immediately pursed his lips. He couldn’t bring himself to say I love you. He was not good at sweet-talking. Kate looked at him and knew that he was prideful. She wouldn’t hear him say “I love you” any time soon. She decided not to force him. She could feel his love by his actions.

If Alfred didn’t love her, he wouldn’t be so nice to her. He was almost spoiling her. Alfred was the type of person who preferred to show their love through actions instead of words.

“Hubby, Can I lean on you and sleep for about ten minutes so that I don’t fall asleep at work?” said Kate.

“Okay.” Alfred held Kate’s shoulders tightly and let her rest on his shoulders.

Kate quickly fell asleep.

Looking at her sleeping face, Alfred was extremely envious of her ability to fall asleep so soon. He wished he could do so too instead of having the same nightmare again and again.

At Weaver Residence,

Grace returned. She went straight upstairs without even eating lunch.

Kyla chased after her but was blocked outside the door. Kyla, who was also hungry, knocked on the door until Grace opened the door and let her in.

Grace asked the servant to send the food into the room. Kyla helped her solve the problem.

“Grace, I know you’re very angry, but you shouldn’t skip meals for your health. Kate would only laugh at you. She won’t feel sorry for you.” Kyla said to Grace after having some soup. She had cursed Kate a million times inside.

She had sent Kate to accompany Willie to fish. Yet Kate still almost fought with Grace. Kyla felt embarrassed when she saw that scene.

She wondered if anyone had secretly filmed it. If it was on the news, the feud between Grace and Kate would become bigger and bigger.

Kyla wanted the two of them to become sworn enemies, but she did not want Grace to vent her anger on Sutton Group, which Kyla believed to be hers.

“Kyla, before I’m full, don’t mention that slut Kate. It will affect my appetite.” Grace was furious when she heard Kate’s name. Other than being mean in words, she could do nothing about Kate.

Grace thought she could slap Kate, but she didn’t get the chance. She regretted not having brought some bodyguards with her. She decided to do so next time and teach Kate a good lesson for provoking her.

“Alright, alright, alright. Let’s not talk about her for now. Actually, I’m also very angry with her. She is annoying,” said Kyla.

Grace did not reply. It was supposed to be her lunch break, but because of Kate, she didn’t even have lunch.

After the meal. Grace called the servants to go upstairs to clean up.

She got up and sat down on the sofa. When she accidentally saw the vase that Alfred had given her, Grace’s anger burned again.

On her birthday, Alfred actually gave her a worthless vase.

Even so, she still placed the worthless vase that was mocking her in her room, where she could see at any time. No matter what, this was the only gift Alfred had given her. ‘At the very least, Alfred came that night, so I do matter to him.’ Grace thought.

Yet at the thought of how good Alfred was to Kate, Grace wanted to smash the vase again. Of course, it was just a thought. She could not bear to do it.

“Kyla, did your father ask you to come here?” Grace asked. “Yes, but it was also my intention. You’re my good friend. I’m worried about you seeing you so angry because of Kate. God knows how worried I was when I chased after you and saw you racing. Grace, don’t do this again. It’s not worth it for someone like Kate.”

Kyla’s concern made Grace’s expression soften a little.

“Kyla, Kate has been in the company for some time. Why haven’t you fired her?” Grace asked.

“Grace. After all, she’s my parent’s biological daughter. She hasn’t been in the company for two weeks. In the beginning, she was with my father. Now, she’s cooperating with me to get an order from Walotronics under Regency Group. I’ve made an arrangement. Walotronics’s Willie has taken a fancy to her and wants to sign the bill. If she doesn’t sacrifice herself, she won’t be able to get it.” said Kyla. Grace’s eyes flickered as she said viciously, “You can help Willie by drug Kate. Make her… If you know what I mean.”

Chapter 188

Chapter 188 Who Gave Kate Courage?

Chapter 188 Who Gave Kate Courage?

15 bonus

Kyla suddenly remembered that she had been tricked by Chris and lost her virginity. She loved Chris and was willing to sleep with him.

After being trapped, Kyla could not hate Chris, but it was like a thorn in her heart. Every time she thought of it, she felt uncomfortable. She decided to make Kate experience the same thing.

Kate’s appearance changed her life. She hated Kate.

“I must be careful. If I’m discovered, my parents will definitely blame me, especially my mother. She doesn’t treat me as well as before.”

Her father still treated her well. Kyla felt that it was

because of her performance in the company. If Kate got familiar with the company’s matters, her father’s attitude might change as well.

Kyla was afraid of losing everything she had now.

“Then hint Willie to do it. So you can stay out of it,” said Grace.

Grace’s thoughts were very simple. In the past, no matter who she wanted to harm, she just needed to say it and her bros would do it for her.

Kyla shook her head. “Although Willie likes Kate, he has his rules. He likes young girls but would never force them. He’d at most give them a hint and if they agreed, he would continue.”

Regency Group wouldn’t let go of Willie if he dared to force any girls. It would damage the image of Regency Group as well.

Grace frowned and said, “Kyla, you can’t even handle such a small matter. How can you fight with Kate? She’s the Sutton family’s biological daughter after all. If she’s a little capable, you’ll lose. Are you willing to give up Sutton Group?”

“Who would you be after leaving Sutton Group? By then, you can only return to your biological family. Kyla, do you want this to happen? Now even though you are the daughter of Sutton Group, my parents still don’t want to accept you, even though Dominick likes you. Once you return to your biological family, the distance between you and Dominick will increase. It will be difficult for you to marry him.”

Grace almost said that Kyla was only fit to be Dominick’s mistress.

Kyla’s expression changed. Grace had grasped her weakness.

“However, Sutton Group is going to suffer. I won’t let Kate have it easy,” said Grace.

“Grace…” Kyla hesitated.

“Kyla, you don’t have to say anything. If I don’t teach Sutton Group a lesson, your father won’t teach Kate a lesson. I can’ t slap her. I hope your father will. I’m tired. You can go back.” Grace ordered Kyla to leave.

Kyla pursed her lips and said helplessly, “Grace, can you not vent your anger on Sutton Group on account that we’re friends? Other than the order from Walotronics, we’re working on a few other important projects. We’re almost done. If… if that happens, we’ll suffer heavy losses.”

Grace’s eyes flickered as she looked at Kyla, who winked at her. Grace sneered in her heart, but her face was cold. “Kyla, I’ve already spared Kate a few times on account that we’re friends, but she really needs to be taught a lesson.”

“Grace…”

“You can leave,” Grace said.

Kyla sighed and silently took her leave.

After leaving Room Grace, Kyla’s lips curled into a cold smile.

‘If Weaver Group took the important projects that Father is working on, he’d be mad. He couldn’t do anything to Weaver Group, but he could punish Kate. Grace was right. Father will teach Kate a lesson.’ Kyla thought. She could not wait to see her adoptive father slap Kate.

She went downstairs in a good mood.

As soon as she reached the first floor, her expression became gloomy. She did so because the servant was there. Inside the room, Grace paced to the balcony and watched Kyla come out of the house and walk to the parking lot.

She looked at Kyla’s receding figure as she called Martin. After Martin picked up the phone, she called out aggrievedly, “Martin.”

“Grace, what’s wrong? Who bullied you?” Martin asked with concern. Dominick also asked with concern, “What’s wrong with Grace?”

“Martin, I went to teach Kate a lesson.”

Grace sounded aggrieved and a little tearful. This made her two loving brothers heartache. They wished they could immediately teach Kate a lesson for their sister.

In Sherpsel, even Cynthia did not dare to bully Grace. But Kate, a country bumpkin did. They wondered who gave Kate the courage.

“I didn’t even get to touch Kate. She pissed me off and destroyed a pair of diamond-studded high heels. Martin, I need your help.”

Martin said, “Grace, did you only talk to her? I know your speed. If you wanted to slap her, her face would have been swollen now. How did you fail?”

Martin knew his sister’s temper very well.

Logically speaking, if Grace went to look for Kate to vent her anger, Kate would be badly hurt.

Grace felt her face burning. “Martin.”

“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll avenge you. Since I promised you, I’ll teach Sutton Group a lesson. Just wait. Leland and his wife will bring Kate to beg you, just like how Lennon and his father always beg Mr. Davidson.”

Chris was willing to take responsibility for Melanie because he wanted Weaver Group to protect the Cohen Group.

Martin wanted to secretly help the Cohen Group and strengthen his own strength.

Using his relationship with Moore’s family, he could openly help the Cohen Group get through the crisis they thought they were in.

Regency Group didn’t intend to destroy the Cohen Group. Yet the Cohen Group’s peers took the opportunity to attack it and caused the crisis.

This was the influence of the Regency Group. People who would help them take revenge as soon as they made a move.

“Martin, Kyla said that Sutton Group is trying to work with Walotronics. She and Kate are in charge of it. And they are also working on some other important projects which are almost done. Leland placed high importance on these projects.”

In other words, Grace wanted her big brother to take the business from Sutton Group.

As long as Sutton Group had not signed the contract, they could intercept it and the Sutton Group wouldn’t be able to do anything. That was the rule in the business world.

Martin’s eyes flickered. He took another look at Dominick and comforted his sister.

After a while, the siblings ended the call.

“Dominick, do you really love Kyla?” Martin asked straightforwardly.

Chapter 189

Dominick’s handsome face was slightly red, but he nodded. “Yes, it’s been a long time. It’s just that Kyla doesn’t want a relationship now. You know that she’s a member of the Sutton family now. It’s a little awkward. She has lived there for over 2 decades and now people told them it’s not her family and not her parents.” Dominick felt sorry for his lover. “Dominick, Kyla is very ambitious. Are you sure you can control her?” Martin asked.

Dominick said unhappily, “Martin if Kyla is willing to marry me, I will only love and support her. I don’t want to control her. Don’t use this word. It’s not ambition. She just wants to survive, both her and the Sutton Group. The world is cruel.” When Martin saw how protective his brother was of Kyla, he said helplessly, “This is your private matter. I don’t want to interfere. However, if Kyla marries you, I won’t allow her to enter Weaver Group.”

‘If Kyla betrayed Sutton Group for her own selfish reasons, she would betray Weaver Group too. She would even swallow Weaver Group for her ambition.’ Martin thought. He was confident about his ability, but he had to be wary of Kyla.

Some people could spend ten to twenty years or even a lifetime to satisfy their ambitions.

The women in their family were the same as the women in the Davidson family. They were all at home helping their husbands and raising their children. They lived the life of rich ladies and were not allowed to go out to work.

Dominick loved Kyla too much. Martin was worried that he would satisfy Kyla’s wish and let her continue fighting in the business world.

“She’s Sutton Group’s successor. She doesn’t have time to work for Weaver Group.” Dominick was full of confidence in her beloved, believing that she would definitely succeed.

Martin moved his lips, wanting to say something, but when he saw his brother’s unwavering trust, he gave up.

At the same time, Kyla had just walked to the parking lot of Weaver’s family when he saw a car drive in from outside. Soon, it stopped beside her car.

Out of instinct, Kyla naturally watched the person in the car get out.

When she saw Chris, she was stunned. ‘This car doesn’t belong to Chris.’

Just as she was about to call Chris, she saw Chris quickly walk around the car to the front passenger seat and open the door like a gentleman. Then, she saw Chris support a woman. It was Melanie, the woman Chris wanted to marry. Kyla knew Chris’s true motive for marrying Melanie. She told herself not to be jealous. Chris was still hers, both physically and mentally.

However, after witnessing how considerate Chris was with Melanie, Kyla’s eyes burned with anger. She wanted to slap Melanie for seducing her man.

Kyla tried very hard to suppress her emotions and looked at Chris and Melanie with a smile.

The two of them naturally saw her too.

“Ms. Sutton.” Melanie greeted Kyla politely.

She knew that Kyla was Grace’s good friend. In front of Grace, Kyla was more important than her, although she was related to the Weaver family.

“Miss Moore. Good afternoon,” Kyla said.

“Good afternoon,” Melanie said, holding Chris’s arm.

Chris did not dare to look at Kyla. He looked at Melanie’s side profile gently.

His guilty look made Kyla want to throw up.

“I heard that you guys are getting married. Congratulations,

I wonder if I have a chance to be invited to your wedding.” Kyla was so jealous that she was about to go crazy, but she could still maintain a smile on her face.

Melanie suddenly looked shy. She tilted her head and looked at Chris. When she saw that Chris had been looking at her with affection and gentleness in his eyes, she fell for him immediately. ‘He’s so handsome.’

She said, “Ms. Sutton, you and Chris have known each other for many years and are also friends. So of course, you will be invited. If you want, I’d like to invite you to be my bridesmaid. Chris, would you like me to have Ms. Sutton as my bridesmaid?”

Chris said in a pampering tone, “As long as Kyla agrees, I have no problem.” He glanced at Kyla. When he saw Kyla glaring at him, he quickly looked back at Melanie.

He thought to himself that he was really unlucky today. He brought Melanie to fish, but he encountered Kate. Melanie was even thrown into the river by Kate. He had no choice but to drive a car all the way to buy a new set of clothes for Melanie.

Melanie lost interest, so he accompanied her to the Weaver family to complain about Kate. But then, they met Kyla.

Kyla’s fierce gaze made Chris’s heart tighten.

He was afraid that Kate would tell Melanie the thing between him and Kyla. If that happened, both he and the Cohen Group would be doomed.

Kyla cursed Melanie in his heart, but she said

apologetically, “Miss Moore, I’d like to be your bridesmaid. Unfortunately, I’m too busy with work and I’m afraid I won’t have the time. However, I’ll definitely go to your wedding.”

Melanie said regretfully, “What a pity!”

“Miss Moore, I still have something on. I’ll leave now.” Kyla said goodbye to the two of them, got into the car, and quickly drove away.

After she left, Chris let out a long sigh.

“Chris, let’s go in. Grace should be on her lunch break. I’ll accompany you in to apologize to her again. On my account, she’ll forgive you.”

“Okay, Melanie, thank you,” said Chris.

“What for? Since I’ve decided to marry you, we’re husband and wife. We’re in the same boat. I won’t just watch you get into trouble,” Melanie said.

Chris quickly kissed her face and promised, “Melanie, when I get home, I’ll ask my parents to visit your parents and discuss our wedding.”

To humiliate Kate, his mother had already prepared a lot of wedding gifts.

Of course, the wedding gift for the Moore family had to be halved.

Melanie’s status could not compare to the Sutton sisters. She was not Chris’s beloved woman.

Chris and his mother didn’t intend to spend much on the wedding gift, as long as the Moore family was fine with it. Chris and Melanie held hands and walked affectionately towards the house.

At the door of the main house, Chris’s phone rang. He took out his phone and looked at the caller ID. It was Kyla.

He picked up the call as if nothing had happened, but he did not speak. Soon, he hung up the phone and said to Melanie with a serious expression, “Melanie, I’m sorry. There’s an urgent matter in the company. I need to go back and deal with it.”

Chapter 190

Melanie said disappointedly, “We’re already here. Aren’t you going in?”

Seeing Chris’s serious expression, she quickly said considerately, “Alright then. I’ll apologize to Grace on your behalf. Remember to pick me up later. Let’s have dinner together tonight.”

“Okay.” No one was around. Chris hugged Melanie and quickly kissed her on the lips. When Melanie was shy, he let go of her and left in a hurry.

Only when he was out of sight did Melanie turn around and enter the house.

Chris soon left Weaver Residence.

Kyla did not go far. She was waiting for Chris nearby.

When Kyla saw Chris, she revealed a smug smile, thinking, Melanie is no match for me. Even if Chris is going to marry her. He came out as soon as I called.’

Chris parked the car next to Kyla and got out.

Kyla unlocked the car but did not get out. She waited for Chris to come up.

“Kyla.” Chris opened the car door and was about to ask her why she called him out in such a hurry. But she wrapped her arms around his neck.

The smell of her perfume assaulted his nose, and then her soft and fragrant lips pressed against his.

It was not a good place to make out. Chris still had some sense.

People of the Weaver family may pass by at any time. He didn’t want people to see him kissing Kyla.

Chris pushed Kyla away, but Kyla leaned closer and hugged him even tighter, pulling his upper body into the car. She let go of her usual nobility and dignity and acted like a prostitute.

Under her intense and provocative seduction, Chris finally gave in.

They let go of all their worries and listened to their desire.

They had a crazy moment. Kyla did not dare to believe that she would actually do such an embarrassing thing. Although it was embarrassing, she felt very excited.

After a few minutes, they quickly tidied up their clothes. Kyla quickly took out a small mirror from her bag to fix her makeup.

Chris checked his neck in the rearview mirror to make sure there wasn’t any traces left. He needed to go back and pick up Melanie later. If Melanie saw it, he would be in big trouble.

Fortunately, Kyla did not deliberately leave any marks on his neck. But there were many scratches on his back.

Relieved, Chris looked at Kyla gently as she fixed her makeup. From time to time, Chris even leaned over and kissed her earlobes and cheeks.

“Kyla, are you jealous?” Chris’s self-esteem was greatly satisfied.

In the past, when he pretended to like Kate, Kyla would also be jealous. However, she was not as jealous as she was this time. She had lost her 26-year-old composure and recklessly had sex with him in the car.

It was thrilling and exciting. And it left a lingering aftertaste.

“Yes, I am jealous.” Kyla suddenly grabbed Chris’s tie and said domineeringly, “Chris, you are mine, even if you’re about to be a groom. Remember, you’re not allowed to touch Melanie.”

Chris wrapped her hand that was around his collar and said dotingly, “Kyla, you’re the only one I loved, love, and will love in the future. Don’t worry, I promise, I won’t touch Melanie. She will live like a widow. You know why I’m marrying Melanie. When the crisis in the Cohen Group is resolved, I will use cold violence against Melanie. She will take the initiative to divorce me when she can’t stand it. Then, we can be together openly.”

“Since you are to marry her, you have to make use of her to make the Cohen Group stronger. When you get a divorce, don’t let her take away the assets under your name. They belong to me,” said Kyla.

Chris smiled. “Alright, alright, alright. All the assets under my name are yours. Don’t worry, we will register my assets before marriage. She won’t be able to take anything.” “Really?” Kyla asked.

“Yes. I swear.” Chris promised.

“When is the wedding?” Chris thought for a moment and said, “My father wants us to do it as soon as possible, so the wedding might be held next month.”

The Moore family was very satisfied with Chris. However, they didn’t really trust him when he said he was taking responsibility. They heard that Chris and Kate had broken off all ties, and Chris even returned Kate’s gifts.

The Moore family had specially checked and found it was true. Only then did they believe that Chris was sincere to Melanie.

Melanie could not resist Chris’ handsome appearance and his gentleness. The two families began to discuss the wedding.

Even if Chris said that he had to marry Melanie for the Cohen Group, Kyla was still jealous.

“We’ve been in love for so many years, but we never announced our relationship. Now you and Melanie are getting married. You have barely met for 2 months.”

Chris said pitifully, “It’s always been you who refused to announce your relationship. After Kate returned, you even pushed me away. Kyla, it was more unfair to me.”

In the past, when Kyla was still the Sutton family’s only daughter, she said that she was busy with work and did not want to announce her relationship for the time being. Chris always felt that she was wavering between him and Dominick, even if she said that the person she loved was him.

After the drama, Kyla changed even more. She found out that Kate had fallen in love with Chris at first sight. To take over Sutton Group and make her adoptive parents continue to love and trust her, she asked Chris to pretend to be in love with Kate.

If Chris hadn’t schemed against her, their relationship would definitely ended.

Chris couldn’t swallow the fact that he had got nothing over the years. He felt much more at ease now that they had had sex. Even if she left him in the end, he would have no regrets.

Now, his greatest regret was that he was so devoted to Kyla that he didn’t touch Kate when they were dating. He lost the chance to taste both the sisters.

Kyla said, “Alright, it’s my fault.” She wrapped her arms around Chris’s neck and exhaled. “Chris, give me a kiss. Then go back to your fiancée. I have to go too.”

Chris kissed her hard on the lips. After the kiss, Kyla calmed down. She was no longer as jealous as before. She said calmly, “Get out of the car. I’m leaving.”
