Chapter 70
While Aberama served the dishes, he noticed Joaquin following behind Katherine. He couldn''t help
narrowing his alluring eyes, asking the young woman icily, "Why is he still here?"
"For a meal," Katherine answered concisely as she ted the pasta for everyone, handing a te to
Joaquin after he grabbed a seat.
Aberama, on the other hand, was rendered speechless.
At the end of the meal, Katherine volunteered to clear the table. Meanwhile, Aberama shot a re at
Joaquin and warned, "You and Kathy aren''t a good match. You know nothing about her, and you don''t
know what she needs or what kind of man suits her. Let her go, Joaquin."
To that, Joaquin quirked a brow inly while giving Aberama a sidelong nce. "She probably isn''t into
s*ssies."
To think I''d lose to Joaquin in an argument! Aberama was so livid that he was heaving.
After chucking all the tes and cutlery into the dishwasher, Katherine came out to find a livid Aberama
and aposed Joaquin. She knew at once that the two had clearly bickered, and Joaquin had won.
However, she didn''t want to bother herself with the childish men.
She had to make a trip to Theodore''s research instituteter in the day as the clinical trial results for the
experimental medicine hade out, and this result concerned if the medicine could be used
practically.
Once the medicine could beunched and used widely in all the hospitals, she''d be able to bag a
fortune.
"Now that you guys have eaten, please leave. I still have to head out for somethingter in the day."
Katherine waved her hand and shooed the guys away unforgivingly.
"Where to? I''ll give you a ride." Joaquin stood up conscientiously, then added before Katherine could
turn him down, "It''s my duty as your fiancé."
Katherine looked at her so-called fiancé with narrowed eyes, desperately wanting to give him a solid
smack in the face.

I swear I would never have agreed to this marriage if I had known this man not only has two perfectly
functioning legs, but is also trouble-filled! I''ve really shot myself in the foot!
"That won''t be necessary. Someone''s picking me up." Katherine''s impassive voice traveled to Joaquin''s
ears just when he thought he had won against Aberama again since the young woman had fixed her
gaze on him for some time.
Joaquin paused his steps subtly as his gaze turned inexplicable.
He was so used to having things his way that he honestly thought Katherine was somewhat of a
novelty; she was the first woman that would go against his every order and wish.
Katherine didn''t bother herself with them but instead returned to her room to get changed.
Coincidentally, Theodore''s call came, and she answered it while heading out the door. "I''m heading out
as we speak, Professor Muller. Have you arrived? Wait for me at the entrance. I''ll be out real quick."
Joaquin had an acute sense of hearing, and he heard the words ''Professor Muller''. However, just as he
wanted to ask Katherine, the young woman had already left.
After a split-second hesitation, he chased after her, and Aberama followed behind him, not wanting to
be outdone.
It wasn''t until Katherine stood in front of the elevator that she noticed the two men had been following
behind her, one looking more unwilling to admit defeat than the other.
At that, she pursed her lips in silence until the elevator arrived and stepped in.
Needless to say, Joaquin and Aberama continued to follow Katherine, one standing on each of her
sides like Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
"Just how old are you guys?!" Katherine looked to her left and right, feeling utterly speechless.
To think the Joaquin Levisay would have such a childish side to him!
Both Joaquin and Aberama arrogantly raised their chins, but neither answered her.
Then again, Katherine didn''t want to bother herself with them either, striding out as soon as the
elevator reached the first floor.
There was a luxury car, specifically a Rolls-Royce, with the license te H.A00000 parked by the
entrance. Katherine knocked on the window, and the door opened immediately, allowing her to get in.
Meanwhile, Joaquin fell into silence when he saw the car.
There weren''t many who owned a Rolls-Royce in Hovington. In fact, there were only three: the highest
authority of Hovington, an old, retired political dignitary, and Theodore Muller.
Theodore held a magnificently high status in Hovington, and it wouldn''t be an exaggeration either to
say that he held a magnificently high status in Cechirus and even the world. He was a biological expert
through and through, one that used his biology knowledge in clinical practice,ing up with many
new drugs and curing many local patients.
The car''s owner… Joaquin mused as he looked at the departing vehicle. As he stood a distance away,
he could only vaguely see a row of zeros on the license te.
Only one person in the whole of Cechirus who would dare use such a bold license te—Professor
Theodore Muller.
What rtionship does Katherine have with the professor? To think the man woulde and pick her
up himself!
Joaquin honestly thought Katherine was getting increasingly mysterious. The more he engaged with
her, the more he realized she was filled with unknowns, so much so that one could never understand
herpletely.
Just when one thought they had unveiled her mask, they''d very quickly realize there was still another
one! Nheless, the feeling of revealing the truth was honestly addictive.
As Aberama watched the Rolls-Royce leave, his enthusiasm went along with it. "Hey, Joaquin, want to
chill at mine?" he suggested while swinging his car keys.
Joaquin took a gander at him, then nodded in agreement after some thought.
With that, Aberama went to get his car in the car park and drove Joaquin out of Soulin International and
into an upscale residential neighborhood in less than half an hour.
One might not be able to purchase a residency by Soulin International with however much money they
offer, but anyone could buy a house in the residential area Aberama was living in as long as they could
afford it.
Meanwhile, Joaquin grew increasingly curious as he looked at the surroundings of the residential area
before shifting his gaze to the frivolous young man next to him.
"How did you two meet?" Joaquin only casually asked after they got out of the car.
"Who? Kathy?" Aberama nced over his shoulder at Joaquin after locking his car.
"Yes." Joaquin nodded in affirmation.
"Well, it''s a long story. We''ve been through hell together, and I saved her life once," Aberama answered
smugly.
However, Joaquin didn''t believe him entirely.
Katherine was no in Jane. Even back when the Cornells cast her out five years ago, she probably
wasn''t as simple as she looked to be.
It seemed that a bloody storm woulde following her return.
"Joaquin, I was serious when I said you and Kathy aren''t a good match. You wouldn''t have the slightest
idea what she has been through nor what she has borne. Also, you''re a beacon for trouble. If you insist
on being with her, you''ll only add to her troubles. Well, unless your purpose is to use her as a decoy to
keep that woman by your side from harm''s way. But you also have to think this through; Kathy isn''t one
to ept betrayals, especially when ites to a romantic rtionship. The second she finds out that
you''ve lied to her, you can forget about ever receiving her forgiveness," Aberama warned as he looked
gravely at Joaquin.
Meanwhile, thetter didn''t make much of it—never did he imagine that Aberama''s warning would
come true one day, though.
