    Catherine''s POV


    I turned around and looked at her strangely. "What''s the use of regretting now? You have done me harm. I''m lucky that I didn''t die. I won''t plead for someone who wanted me to die. Get ready to face the royal sanction."


    "We used to be colleagues. Do you have to be so ruthless? If I ever get out, I will hunt you down. Do you hear me?" Vanessa instantly became angry and shouted.


    The two wolf guards behind her heard her threaten and immediately scolded her, "Shut up! You will never get a second chance."


    Hearing her words, I sneered fearlessly and strode out.


    Vanessa did not know that the threat she had just made would doom her, because ke would not let her off.


    ke would never allow any danger to lurk around him or his close ones, especially his family.


    Leaving the council hall of the royal pack, I sat beside ke. I was much more relieved, not as worried as before. ke reached out and patted the back of my hand gently. "Don''t think about it anymore. That woman won''te out and harm others again."N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    I turned to look at him in surprise.


    He smiled mysteriously. Instead of continuing the same topic, he asked me in a low voice, "It''s still early. Why don''t youe to mypany with me?"


    "I didn''t expect you to be here." I nced at his handsome face and then turned to the window.


    ke chuckled in a low voice. "I thought that you wouldn''t dare toe unless I did."


    I said disapprovingly, "Why would I be afraid? She almost killed me. I even wanted to p her to vent my anger."


    "Fine. I know you are brave. I was just worried about you." ke finally told me the truth.


    His gaze stopped on my face, and I felt that my face was burning hot. I wanted to flee.


    "Don''t think that I will think of you differently just because you keep saying those sappy words to me. You hurt me before. And that time at the mating gathering, you took Gina''s side and asked someone to throw me out mercilessly. Don''t tell me that you forgot about those things." I blushed and listed out the things he had done to me in the past.


    ke was slightly stunned.


    Then he raised his hand and slightly pulled up his sleeve, revealing the already healed bite mark.


    "Didn''t you bite me back? Let''s call it even."


    "Howe there''s still a mark?" I looked doubtfully at the faint bite mark on his wrist.


    Back then, I was so furious, so I bit his hand with all the strength I got.


    "I don''t know either. It just won''t fade away," ke said. He didn''t care much about it. "If you think I humiliated you that day, you can bite me again. But this time, can you bite me somewhere else?"


    The sunlight shone in from outside the window. There were only a few rays of sunlight through the tall trees, but they just happened to make ke''s smiling eyes shine.


    Even under such dazzling sunlight, ke''s eyes were still flickering charmingly, as if they were even brighter than the sunlight.


    My heart was beating even faster.


    I hated and feared this feeling. It was as if his eyes were like a huge ck hole that wanted to mercilessly suck me in.


    "I don''t want to bite you again. Let''s call it even." It was as if I had been forced to reach a peace agreement with him.


    While ke was making small talk with me, the car was already at hispany''s headquarters.


    The two buildings standing at the center of countless skyscrapers were spectacr.


    I looked at thezy man beside me.


    His thin lips curved into a smile as he looked outside.


    His perfect side face was with sculptural lines.


    I was stunned. When I realized that I was acting like a teenage girl, my entire body trembled.


    "Since we''re here, why don''t youe up and sit for a while? I don''t think you''ve been to my office yet."


    I thought that ke did it on purpose. He distracted me so that I had no time to reject him.


    "Seeing these two buildings reminded me of what Noah had said before," I said emotionally.


    ke was slightly surprised. "What did he say?"


    "When we first arrived, we saw your office buildings from afar. Noah said he wanted to go in and take a look."


    ke smiled. "Apparently, Noah and I already have a telepathic connection. He cane to my office building whenever he wants in the future."


    I was stunned for a moment, and then I regretted telling him this.


    However, entering the buildings to visit was Noah''s wish. By telling ke, I guessed I helped Noah fulfill his wish.


    A line of cars parked in the office building''s imposing lobby on the first floor.


    The car door opened, and after ke got out of the car, he turned around and stretched out his hand with a little expectation.


    I was a little stunned, looking at hisrge hand indicating his goodwill. I did not want to put my hand on it.


    However, I looked around and saw many people looking in our direction.


    If I refused ke, it would make him look bad.


    As I was thinking, my fingers had already touched his palm. He instantly clenched my hand.


    I felt an electric current rush into the depths of my heart, causing my entire body to tremble.


    All the people at the scene were utterly surprised.


    I took a deep breath, feeling that I was attending some fancy dinner party, while ke, who was holding my hand, was about to lead me to the high stage.


    It was so strange. Why would I have such a strange feeling?


    I was so nervous and bewildered.


    Perhaps it had been too long since I was treated gently by life. Now that someone was nice to me, I felt somehow uneasy.


    I couldn''t help but lower my head and mock myself.


    Yet ke was calm andposed. He nodded politely to people who came to greet him.


    I was certain that I was blushing.


    Finally, after passing through the giant hall, the two of us entered the elevator.


    ke turned to look at me. "You seem very nervous."


    "No... I''m not!" I replied hastily.


    "Your palm is full of sweat." ke chuckled.


    I was overwhelmed. I quickly shook off his hand, and then I touched my palm. It was indeed sweating. What was


    the point of denying it?


    "What''s there to be afraid of? Everyone knows about our rtionship." ke chuckled.


    "It takes a lot of courage to be your girlfriend. I''m afraid I don''t have the courage to face so many people''s envious gazes," I said self-mockingly, twisting my fingers.


    "But you should," he said in a low voice.


    "Why?" I looked at him strangely. He wasn''t me. It was easy for him to say.


    "Because you gave birth to my children, and there were two of them." ke gave me the best answer.


    I choked on his words.
