An elegant vase caught Katherine's attention as soon as she entered the villa.
After glancing at it for a second, she followed Anthony upstairs.
The smile on her face turned into a frown when she saw Sean.
Even the latter felt the same.
It wasn't that Sean didn't want to see Katherine, but it didn't cross his mind that he would meet her at
such a place.
Because of that, he couldn't help but curse silently in his heart.
Not long after their arrival, Anthony's godmother came down from the third floor.
She said, "Is Anthony here? Is she your girlfriend? Oh, God! She's beautiful!"
Beatrice, Anthony's godmother, was a bit shocked upon seeing Katherine.
However, she had been a wealthy lady for decades, so she knew how to handle situations like this.
The trace of displeasure on her face disappeared in a flash.
Beatrice walked up to them amiably and asked, "Aren't you going to introduce her to us?"
Tonight was obviously not the first time that Beatrice met Katherine.
However, the former acted as if she did not know the latter at all.
She was a good actor.
Katherine slightly curved her lips, waiting for Anthony to speak.
Even with Beatrice's awkward reaction when she first saw Katherine, Anthony didn't find anything
suspicious at all.
He simply thought his godmother liked Katherine and didn't say anything much.
"Auntie, this is Katherine, my girlfriend!" he proudly introduced.
"Katherine, this is my godmother.I call her Auntie, but I treat her as my second mother.She's Beatrice
Johnston” Anthony added.
"It's nice to meet you, Auntie, Katherine greeted politely.
"Me too, young lady! I thought Anthony was just lying to me.I didn't know that he has such a beautiful
girlfriend!" Beatrice replied.
As she said that, she diverted her gaze on Anthony and scolded, "You brat! You really love doing things
in secret, huh? I will let your mother know about this.She should know that she'll have a gorgeous
daughter-in-law in the distant future! Ask your mother to keep an eye on her so that she wouldn't be
able to leave you”
Beatrice's words almost made Katherine believe her, but the latter knew none of them were genuine.It
was because when she and Zack visited Simon on his birthday before, Beatrice did not treat her like
that.
"Mom, is my brother, Anthony, here?"
A female voice interjected from somewhere.
Then, a woman came downstairs.
It was Queenie.
When Katherine and Zack came to celebrate Simon's birthday, Queenie arrogantly asked her if she had
ever attended such a grand birthday celebration.
Katherine didn't expect to meet Sean, Beatrice, and Queenie tonight.
She didn't know that they were related to Anthony.
‘‘Looks like tonight's dinner would be interesting” she thought.
When Queenie saw Katherine, her expression immediately changed.
"Mom, how could she..."
However, before Queenie could even finish her sentence, Beatrice pulled her to the side and said,
"Queenie, I'd like you to meet Anthony's girlfriend, Katherine."
"Girlfriend? But she's..."
Queenie couldn't finish her sentence for the second time as Beatrice pinched her side, causing her
mouth to twitch in pain.
This time, the awkwardness and indescribable tension between Katherine and Queenie didn't escape
Anthony's eyes.
"Do you know each other?" he asked as he faced Queenie.
"Of course! I know her very well, Anthony.Everyone in Y City knows her! Everyone but you, I guess’’
Queenie sarcastically replied.
"Don't mind Queenie, Anthony.She's just goofing around.You know that this girl has always been
naughty, right? Queenie probably met Katherine by accident before” Beatrice reasoned.
Anthony looked at Queenie, doubtful of Beatrice's response.
When he realized he wouldn't get a good answer from her, he then turned to Katherine and asked, "Do
you know Queenie?"
Katherine stood there with a faint smile on her face as she replied, "Yes.I've seen her a few times."
Seeing Katherine's expression, Anthony shrugged and did not bother to ask some more.
Beatrice hurriedly asked a servant to bring out the food, so the rest of the people present had no choice
but to proceed to the dining table.
Sean, who had been sitting on the sofa, had been hesitating whether to leave or not.
He initially had no plans to join them, but Beatrice unexpectedly called him out, saying, "Why are you
still sitting there, Sean? Come and eat!"
Helpless, Sean covered his forehead with his hands.
As much as he didn't want to get involved in the chaotic situation, he was already here.
Leaving right now seemed to be impossible.
"I'll join you after washing my hands” Sean replied.
He then proceeded to the kitchen to wash his hands as he said, but the door suddenly opened, startling
him to his core.
When he turned around, he saw Queenie standing beside him.
"Why do you look so scared?" she asked.
"Nevermind” Queenie shrugged, then added, "Do you know what Katherine is doing right now?
Obviously, Zack didn't seem enough for her, so she's trying to seduce my brother now? How dare
her?!"
Sean used to be biased against Katherine, so he never liked her.
However, ever since Katherine divorced Zack, Sean realized that he had judged her wrongly.
He even thought that Katherine seemed to be a nice girl.
Because of that, Sean didn't feel happy about what Queenie said.
"Where did you hear that? When Katherine divorced Zack, she didn't take any penny from him and
directly left their house!" Sean snapped.
As expected, Queenie refused to believe what he said, saying, "Only a fool like you would believe
delusions like that.I don't want to talk to you anymore.I want to see what tricks she is playing!"
