Chapter 125


    Upon the realization, Katie was immensely relieved that Sheena had not actually died this time.


    Otherwise, her chances with Howard would have beenpletely ruined..


    She sat there weakly, contemting how to salvage her previous actions. After some thought, Katte


    picked up her phone and dialed Howard’s number.


    The phone kept ringing with a busy tone, making the waiting time feel unusually long.


    “What is it?” Howard’s impatient voice came through as he asked, “If you don’t have anything


    important, I’m hanging up,”


    “Wait! Don’t hang up yet! Howard, I really need to talk to you!” Katie gripped her phone tightly, afraid he


    would hang up at any moment,


    “If you’re trying to persuade me to lift your punishment, forget it. However, I’m still considering the


    engagement.”


    “No. 1 want to talk to Sheena. I don’t have her contact information. Can you please pass the phone to


    her?” Katie’s voice grew softer as she continued.


    “You want to talk to her? Ms. Upton, please stop having any more thoughts involving Sheena. I won’t


    let you harm her,” Howard warned.


    Katie bit her lip. “That’s not it. I want to apologize to her. Please pass the phone to her, Howard.


    Consider it a plea from me.”


    “Apologize?” Howard was even more surprised. Nheless, since Katie was far away in Svelton and


    confined to her home, she could not possibly do anything bad. Reluctantly, he agreed to Katie’s


    request.


    Howard lightly knocked on the door of the makeshift operating room and opened it slightly, waving


    Sheena over.


    Sheena nced at the still–focused Noah, who was performing the surgery, and quietly stepped out.


    “What’s the matter?”


    Howard handed his phone to her, saying, “Katie’s looking for you.”


    “Looking for me?” Sheena took his phone with suspicion, then nced at the screen. “What now? Are


    you trying to cause me trouble even though you’re back at home?”


    “No, I’m here to apologize to you,” Katie said, her voicecking its previous arrogance, but years of


    living as a wealthy heiress prevented her frompletely lowering her head.


    Then, Katie added, “I’m sorry for what I did before. I was wrong. As long as you don’t obstruct Howard


    and me from being together in the future, I’m willing to get along with you.”


    Sheena remained silent, believing that Katie had figured out her true identity.


    Sensing the silence on the other end, Katie felt a bit uneasy and continued, “To show my sincerity, I


    consider Hannah’s matter a gift to you.”


    “A gift for me?” Sheena chuckled. “Alright then, I’ll look forward to it.”


    Even though Sheena hung up the call, she did not get mad and dialed another number. Almost


    instantly, Jennifer answered the call.

    “How is it? Did you find Hannah?”


    “There’s no need to look for her anymore. She’s already dead,” Katie said coldly.


    “Really?” Jennifer’s voice was filled with joy. “Are you sure? Did it happen at Howard’s mansion? Was it


    your people who killed her? Hannah…”


    Katie interrupted Jennifer’s questions, “That’s enough. You don’t need to know so much. Just know that


    she’s dead. I’m calling to inform you that our cooperation is over.”


    Jennifer had not anticipated the sudden decision, and her eyes widened in shock.
