Chapter 7 Won’t It Just Embarrass You?

  • "Have we arrived?" Katherine asked without looking up.
  • The driver cleared his throat. "It's quite congested up front; you'd better walk over by yourself."
  • Katherine raised her eyes and looked at the tree-lined road in front of her. There were not many cars or people. How is this congested?
  • "Alright." Katherine did not argue with him; she just opened the door and got out of the car.
  • During this period, the driver neither stepped forward to help nor opened the door for her. He treated Katherine as a lowly woman the whole time.
  • Katherine then went around the front of the car and came to the driver's seat.
  • "Mr. Leen?" Katherine glanced at his badge, and just one glance made this man's heart tremble.
  • "Anything?" He reflexively covered his badge.
  • Thinking of his employer, he had to do this if he wanted to keep his job.
  • "It's nothing." Katherine smiled slightly, raised her hand, and patted his shoulder. "Good luck."
  • This move came suddenly and ended as quickly. Before the driver could react, Katherine had already left.
  • The driver burst out foul language in his heart and drove away.
  • However, it was only a short distance away when the car went out of control and skidded into the greenery up ahead.
  • With a loud bang, a burst of white smoke came out of the hood.
  • Katherine watched as the driver was hit in the face by the airbag as he called for help, then turned and left with a snort.
  • No one noticed as she put away a few silver needles.
  • A driver who dares to despise his employer's family?
  • Katherine knew that there was a problem, but she was too lazy to think about it, so she took another cab to the mall.
  • As it was not her own money, she did not show any mercy when swiping Jorge's card.
  • She spent so much that Jorge called to question her.
  • At that time, Katherine was looking at some accessories at the counter of a certain luxury brand, and she could feel Jorge's rage through her phone.
  • "Kathy, what did you buy that is so expensive—"
  • "I heard that Rosemary's limited-edition bag was purchased from your secondary card."
  • "Kathy, how did you become like this? You're so arrogant and extravagant—"
  • "I heard that Rosemary's car was also purchased from your secondary card."
  • "Kathy, you'll have it all after marrying Joaquin Levisay. Can't you save some money now?"
  • "If I save money now, won't it just embarrass you?"
  • Jorge fell silent on the other end of the phone.
  • Katherine had always been very talented at picking someone's weak spot.
  • She looked at the bracelet she was trying on. The style was novel and intricate, and every line was meticulously carved.
  • "It'll cost you a rich son-in-law if you penny-pinch, Dad. Right?" Katherine's voice was light and soft.
  • Jorge felt like he was being conned, but after weighing the pros and cons, he could only say, "Buy it then. Buy a bigger one."
  • "If that's the case… Thank you, Dad."
  • With that, she put on the matching ring, and the sound of swiping the card was particularly pleasant to her ears.
  • When she was about to go back, she received a text message on her phone: 'Miss Cornell, someone has been following you. Do you need us to solve it?'
  • Katherine turned slightly to the side just in time to see a few suspicious individuals pretending to look at the products on display.
  • She ignored them, turned around, and replied to the text message: 'Don't worry, I will solve it myself.'
  • She thought it would be something new, yet it turned out to be an old trick.
