Chapter 135


    Catherine''s POV


    "Catherine,e on. We''re working together already. Why are you still treating me like an outsider? Why didn''t you tell me that you''re King ke''s mate? You have no idea. I''ve been living on the edge of my stomach these past few days, afraid that King ke is going to give me a hard time. Catherine, would you put in a good word for me with King ke? I''ll be sure to support your work in the future. You are truly one of the most talented and stylish designers I''ve ever met, and it would be my loss not to work with you." Lorelei was a true showbiz woman. She could be as honey-tongued as she wanted.


    I couldn''t help but smile. "As I said just now, it was ourpany''s fault. Ms. Pope, I hope you will put this behind you and continue to work with us."


    "Of course. I''m a very easy person to talk to. Catherine, I''lle to you in a few days for new design drafts. Don''t worry. I won''t rush you. Since you''re with King ke, I''m sure you won''t have much time to draw. I understand." Lorelei smiled.


    I was well aware that her sudden change of attitude was because I was now ke''s girlfriend.


    A person like Lorelei fitted showbiz perfectly.


    "Ms. Pope, if nothing else, I''ll hang up now." I didn''t want to hear any more of her hypocriticalpliments.


    "OK! I''ll leave you to it!" Lorelei immediately hung up the phone.


    I threw my phone back into my purse and thought for a moment. It didn''t seem like it was Lorelei.


    After ruling her out, there were only two people left, and both of them were most likely to harm me.


    Howard stood next to me with Ash in his arms and said indignantly, "Let ke find out who did this, and make sure the one gets off hard."

    Fortunately, the one behind the scenes was not smart.


    Henry easily found out who the rogue met by looking at the car log and the photo. He spotted her in the surveince footage.


    It was Vanessa.


    Although she covered herself from top to bottom, she showed her true colors under several surveince cameras.


    ke looked at the sneaky Vanessa in the surveince footage, and his face was utterly gloomy.


    Fortunately, the ce rogue chose was the forest not far from thekeside vi. Though the ce was remote, it was the route ke''s car had to take to get around, so ke could get there in time to save me.


    In the afternoon, after eating, I was lying on the balcony on the second floor with my eyes closed to rest when I received a call from ke.


    "The woman has been caught. Do you want toe here and question her yourself?" ke asked me in a low voice.


    My face suddenly turned pale, and I clenched my hands. "Yes. I want to ask her myself."


    "OK. I''ll ask Dowen to arrange a car to pick you up." ke responded softly.


    I sat in the car and went to the council hall of Sayreville''s royal pack.


    Some of the royal members'' business was conducted in the council hall, and there was also a royal prison here.


    I stood outside the door, and I saw ke''s motorcade parked out front very conspicuously. He was also here.


    As I looked at those domineering ck cars, I felt strange.


    It was hard to describe what it felt like, but I didn''t seem to hate him so much anymore.


    People would always be grateful to the person who helped them sincerely, though gratitude was just a kind of pure feeling.


    However, it would also trigger a chain reaction. Perhaps the next time they saw the person who helped them, they would be more friendly unconsciously. Such a change could be found both in words and expressions.


    I walked into the council hall and saw ke in a meeting room.


    He wore a ck suit and a white shirt. He did not wear a tie. He left the first button of his shirt undone, making him a little more easy-going. He lookedzy, yet as a man, he was still elegant and sexy.


    As soon as I stepped into the council hall, I couldn''t help but look at him, meeting his deep and obscure eyes.


    ke waved at me. "Come here."


    I walked to his side and saw him chatting with a middle-aged man next to him.


    "This is the Gamma of the royal pack, Gerrard. He did the most to get her into custody." ke said.


    Gerrard smiled slightly and said, "Ms. Wyatt, the offender is in the next room. You can go in and talk to her."


    "Thank you!" I stood up.


    "Do you need me to be with you?" ke suddenly reached out and gently shook my hand.


    I said in a low voice, "No. Thank you for helping me. I want to ask her myself."


    There was a faint sense of loss in ke''s eyes. He released his fingers holding mine.


    "Alright."


    I saw the already tied-up Vanessa in the room next door.


    The rope was soaked with the juice of the poisonous weeds, which could prevent her from shifting.


    When Vanessa saw me, she immediately gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment.


    "Catherine, you''re so lucky that you didn''t die!" Vanessa began to curse at me.


    "Vanessa, why did you harm me? Just because I embarrassed you at work?" She was simply so irrational. The winning and losing of work were too important to her, which was what doomed her.


    The vast majority of people who got frustrated or failed at work bounced back. They found out their shorings and made another attempt.


    How many people would die every day if one was set to kill their opponent after failing once?


    Vanessa seemed to realize how stupid she was. She kept her head down and said nothing.


    After she entered thepany, she hooked up with the boss. She didn''t meet any obstacles during work, and no one treated her poorly.


    She relished the feeling of being treated well.


    However, my presence dented her sense of superiority, which was why she held a grudge.


    "Catherine, you shouldn''t have provoked me. You asked for it. You deserve it." Not realizing the enormity of her mistake, Vanessa looked up and gave me a nasty look.


    I sneered, "It''s pretty clear who''s asking for it now, isn''t it?


    "You could have found another job to live a good life, but you have been caught because you wanted me dead. You are regretting it now, aren''t you?"


    "What''s the use of regretting? Will you let me go if I say I regret it? You hook up with King ke, and that''s why you''re so arrogant. I am unlucky, and that is all. My man is inferior to yours." Vanessa''s eyes suddenly reddened.


    I suddenly felt there was no point in talking to her. The conversation was meaningless.


    I turned and was about to leave when Vanessa suddenly called out to me, "Catherine, fine. I know I shouldn''t have done this to you. I was wrong. Can you ask them to go easy on me? You''re fine, aren''t you? I promise I won''t hurt you again."Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.
