Justin still believes that Katherine will do nothing wrong with him. No matter what she does, he still believes in her morals and boundaries. She will definitely not cross them. Although most corporate leaders would choose more discreet and private locations for collaboration discussions, as restaurants in shopping centers are less likely to have private rooms. But there will always be exceptions.Justin trusts Katherine, to trust in their love, so he doesn’t follow her inside but waits outside. His hands tap nervously on the steering wheel. Despite thinking so, despite trying to suppress other thoughts, there’s one thing he’s not admitting to himself, that he’s afraid, he’s afraid that Katherine might do something behind his back, might do something wrong. His inaction, both a choice to trust her and an act of fear and cowardice, he’s not facing the truth. What if Katherine truly betrays him?Thinking this, Justin’s fingers unconsciously tighten on the steering wheel. And he feels li

"What!? Locked?Katherine seemed to be attacked, she looked at the cashier incredulously. Facing everyone's skeptical eyes, she got angry for no reason.“There's no way the card could've been blocked. Surely the card swiping machine is faulty, please try again quickly.”Katherine rolled her eyes, banged her hands on the table, her attitude extremely fierce and impatient.At this moment, Belle said:“Sister Katherine, please calm down. If you can't swipe your card, you can transfer money or cash. How can you make it so difficult for people?Of course, Katherine couldn't transfer money or use cash because she didn't have it. She had already spent the money that Laramie gave her a few days ago. Lately, he only buys things for her and doesn't give her money.Katherine began to panic, she immediately pushed Belle away, then shouted at the cashier:“Let me try again, there's no way the card is locked.”“I've tried again three times, clearly the card is locked.”The cashier was extremely awk

Justin’s words struck directly into Katherine’s black heart, leaving her with only one thought: that Justin was insulting her, and she couldn’t believe anything else! Katherine clenched her fists, thinking that Justin had done enough wrong to her already, yet now he was raising his voice to scold her. Who gave him the right to criticize her?“That’s enough!” Katherine snapped, continuing, “You have five minutes to apologize to me.”Justin felt genuinely amused after hearing that; he couldn’t believe Katherine had changed so much. Indeed, the Katherine now and the Katherine before seemed like two completely different people. If it weren’t for this familiar face, he would have thought that the person sitting in front of him now was someone else. Not her, not the person he had once passionately loved, nor the kind of girl who had disregarded everything to save him.“Are you giving me orders? Katherine, up to now, I still don’t see you being wrong. I’m not apologizing to you,” Justin reto

At this moment, Katherine couldn’t think much. She only knew that if she were dismissed, it would be the end for her. No more status, no more wealth. Everything that had come to her had vanished in the blink of an eye like a shooting star.And Laramie seemed to have lost patience with her by now. He found her troublesome, and as soon as he discovered Katherine was married, he had already kept her only as a short-term amusement. Now that she had caused such a big issue, it affected his reputation as well. He had intended to keep her around a little longer, considering her as a mere plaything, pretending not to know anything and enjoying her company every day, joking about the future, and giving her some money, to which she obediently listened and poured sweet words into his ears. He found it all very amusing.But now, unexpectedly, he was turned into a joke.In everyone’s eyes, he did not differ from a fool. Once cunning like a fox, but now like a rabbit, being outwitted by a despicabl

Justin turned back to look at her, and at this moment Julie had also run up to him, grabbing his hand and then timidly looking at the woman in front of them.At this point, he still hadn’t recognized who the woman in front of him was, as time had worn away her appearance. But the woman, seeing him staring at her intently, approached and said, “Oh dear, don’t you remember me? I’m Aunt Laura. I used to take care of every meal and bedtime for you. How could you forget me? It’s truly heartbreaking.”The name “Laura” triggered a series of memories in Justin’s mind, memories filled with beatings, curses, slaps, and torment. Aunt Laura, Justin remembered now. She used to be the head of the housekeeping team, the first to enter Kimberly’s house, with extensive experience, skilled in flattery, and adept at winning the mistress’s favor, so her status was not ordinary.When Justin was young and living in Kimberly’s house, she, then thirty years old, wreaked havoc there. While the house was equip
