Marrying Chapter 763


    Chapter 763


    “I understand. Let the cards stay canceled for now, just take good care of my mom,” she said before


    hanging up. Vivian’s attempt to cut off her financial resources was a real challenge. Katherine


    wondered what she could do to start earning money


    The Cat Cafe had always been funded by her previous savings. If Katherine stopped now, there


    would be no point, especially with so many cats to care for. The immediate priority was to start


    earning money–after all, the child she was expecting would need a lot of financial support in the


    future.


    Thinking about this, Katherine couldn’t help baut sigh. She regretted not learning more about


    business management from Louis. With her cards canceled, she truly had toe up with a


    solution on her own now,


    Katherine nced across and noticed that the fruit store, which used to belong to Julian, seemed to


    be up for lease. “Tomas, has that fruit store across the street been vacant for a while?”


    The staff, Tomas Melendez, nced over and nodded. “Yes, that store has been up for lease for a


    while. It’s been difficult to find a suitable tenant because of itsrge size, but there have been some


    inquiries recently. Are you thinking of opening a branch?”


    Katherine chuckled. “I don’t have the money to open a branch, but I need to think of other ways to


    make money.”


    Tomas shrugged and thought. ‘Business is tough. Even just maintaining the Cat Cafe has been a


    struggle. Opening a new one would be even harder with such fiercepetition”


    Katherine touched her belly and thought, In today’s world, it’s often easier to earn money through


    women and children, Looking at the storefront’s location with its foot traffic, and the nearby schools


    and residential areas, she saw a lot of potential for high customer volume.


    Katherine pondered the situation, did some online research, and realized that despite herck of


    business acumen, she was well–educated and came from a wealthy family, so she had some skills


    to offer. After calcting her avable funds and considering current property prices, she estimated


    that she could afford the small shop. With that in mind, she called the rental agency to inquire if the


    landlord would be willing to sell the property inurad


    Katherine had a personal motive as well. Since Julian wouldn’t be returning, keeping his previous


    fruit store would serve as a keepsake of him.


    The real estate agent contacted Valerie, who had already taken over the shop. She was initially


    surprised to hear someone wanted to buy it. Just as she was about to decline, she reconsidered,


    With Julian now sessful, keeping the shop seemed wasteful. Initially, it was kept as a fallback in


    case Julian struggled out of town. Since business was booming now, she decided it was best to sell


    the property.


    Valerie agreed readily. Once the real estate agent confirmed this to Katherine, they arranged a


    meeting to discuss the details. When both arrived, Valerie was surprised to discover that the buyer


    was Katherine.


    “Katherine, it’s you? Are you the one buying this shop?” Valerie asked.


    Katherine felt a bit awkward, not expecting Valerie to be the current owner. She smiled and said,


    “Valerie, yes, it’s me who wants to buy it I’ve moved out and need a new ce.”


    “What’s going on? Why did you suddenly move out? Valerie asked, puzzled. She had sensed


    something was off during their call, but she didn’t expect Katherine to have moved out of the Santos


    family.


    Katherine gave awry unile and said, “My mother and I had some issues, so it’s more convenient for


    me to move out and live on my own” She didn’t borate further, as she wasn’t ready to discuss


    the details about her pregnancy just yet.


    Valerie understood the situation immediately, she pondered, Mrs. Santos must have been


    pressuring Katherine again, or she wouldn’t have moved out so suddenly Valerie offered. “Alright


    since you’re buying, let’s go with the original purchase price I paid for the shop.


    “Thank you, Valerie!” Katherine said,


    “No need to thank me! But what kind of business a are you nning to open with the shop!” Valerie


    asked,


    “I’m thinking of opening an oil painting ss. There’s an elementary school nearby, and I believe


    my skills are quite good. I could teach the students, and it would be a rxed job. Plus, it would help


    support the Cat Cafe–otherwise, those cats might not even have enough food!” Katherine replinit.


    Valerie chuckled, knowing how challenging running a Cat Cafe could be, and how finicky the cats


    could be. After they signed the contract, Valerie patted Katherine on the back, saying, “Turi forget


    us when you’re sessfull You need to write a piece for me to keep. One day, when you’re a


    famous painter, it’ll be worth a fortune!”


    ng that Valer


    Katherine couldn’t help but feel relieved, seeing Valerie didn’t suspect anything. “Don’t worry,


    Valerie. I’ll write a whole piece for you to frame. And when ites to Hugo’s paintings, I’ll make


    sure to give it extra attention!”


    “No problem!” Valerie smiled, but before she could continue, a ringtone interrupted her. Valerie


    nced at her phone and saw it was Charles calling. She answered, and his voice came through,


    “Mrs. Grant, the arrangements you requested are nearlyplete. When would you like to


    proceed?”

    :had been a while, and Owen had been the only one causing trouble. Thest time, they had dealt


    with Fred and used him to set up a trap verything was almost in ce, just waiting for Owen to walk


    into it. Hearing this news, Valerie smiled and said, “In that case, let’s start creating i uzz–make it as


    big as possible. We need to make sure the Anderson family knows that this time, there can be


    absolutely no mistakes!”


    Alright, I’ll get started right away, Charles replied.


    atherine couldn’t help but ask, “Valerie, is something going on? Anderson family? Is this rted to


    Mr. Anderson!”


    alerie nodded and said, “Yes, Mrs. Anderson is fine, but Mr.Anderson is another story. I don’t trust


    him; he’s been a thorn in my side multiple imes. With Matthew not around, he’s be even more


    aggressive”


    learing this, Katherine was a bit surprised but quickly came to her senses. “Don’t worry, Valerie. I’ll


    support you. Mr. Anderson doesn’t seem rustworthy at all. You should teach him a lesson and show


    him that young and beautiful women like us are not to be messed with!”


    Exactly, being young isn’t a sin, and looking good isn’t a crime either. If he underestimates me, I’ll


    make sure he knows that even if Matthew isn’t sack yet, the Grant family is not for him to dictater


    Valerie said firmly.
