Kathryn refused to enter Chris' bedroom no matter what."I'll take care of myself," Kathryn spoke incoherently as she was terrified. Chris' eyes became fierce. "You have no idea what happens after you have a fever. How are you going to take care of yourself?"What Chris said was true. Kathryn had been sleeping like a log every time she had a fever. She would have long been dead if she had been left to her own devices. "I won't be that weak. I've had a fever twice." Kathryn recalled how Chris cared for her past two fevers and blushed. She felt that her body was getting warmer as well.Chris grew tired of engaging in a pointless conversation with her as she displayed a mix of submissiveness and stubbornness. He sneered. "I see you've been reading a lot about furnishing and renovating recently. Are you planning to renovate your house?"Kathryn could hardly breathe as she heard that. She couldn't figure out his intention in asking about the renovation of her house. A sense of uneas

Chris raised his brows and glanced at Kathryn coldly. He couldn't comprehend the sudden change in her attitude. Kathryn said, "Hurry up and have your meal, or else it will become cold."Chris sneered and took a bite of his breakfast.Kathryn knew she hadn't succeeded in cheering him up. It was evident from his sneer. She tensed up for a bit."Just don't be angry," Kathryn coaxed once more."Why am I angry?" Chris asked."Wasn't it because I went to sleep on your bed? I swear, I didn't mean it. I—""Shut up!" Chris scolded with a low tone before Kathryn could finish her words.It made the corner of Kathryn's lips twitch. She couldn't understand why her attempts to make Chris happy only made him angrier. As she met him in the eyes, she decided to stop trying to cheer him up. "Okay, then. I'll stop talking about it, and you'll also stop being angry."It was clear to Kathryn that she had no idea how to appease him any further. Her lips almost went numb because of it.Chris cast

Kathryn's disgust for Wendy grew stronger. On her way to the hospital, the police called her again. She surmised that it was about Wendy. She didn't answer the phone.No matter what their intentions were, Kathryn wouldn't get involved. Wendy always liked causing trouble. Kathryn wanted Wendy to realize that stirring things up wouldn't solve anything. "Kathryn, you must learn from my mistakes when you get married next time. Know where to draw the line," Jessica cried, wanting to say more. "There must be a limit!" Jessica had been crossing the line repeatedly because she couldn't stand Wendy's harassment. How could others withstand Wendy's harassment when Jessica herself couldn't stand it and was also resentful?"Stop crying." Kathryn handed a tissue to Jessica.Jessica continued, "I'd been asking you to cross the lines with me for the past two years as well. Without your money, I guess the Quinton family would have pushed me to divorce much earlier."For the last two years,

Kathryn didn't bother to fetch Wendy. She thought Wendy would only pester her about her marriage or continue to harass Jessica.It was already 11:30 am when Kathryn arrived at Ascot Racecourse. A server approached her as soon as she stepped out of the car. "Are you Ms. Michaels?""Yes.""Mr. Albert is waiting for you." The server led the way respectfully.Kathryn nodded. "Thanks."Kathryn had been to Ascot Racecourse several times but still wasn't familiar with it. After a few turns, they arrived at a building adorned with glass and lavish decorations. Kathryn had never been to this building.Kathryn was then brought to a room. She heard noises from the room before she even went in. The people inside seemed to be playing card games.The server knocked on the door. Someone inside opened it immediately. Kathryn instantly frowned when she caught a whiff of the strong cigarette smell inside the room. They were playing card games, indeed. Kathryn could see the table with cards insi

Kathryn didn't know how to play card games at first, but she learned as she always had to accompany Chris to various engagements, per Markus' order.When playing with Chris' clients, she was taught not to win against them, and she had never won a game before."Sure. You can have all the winnings." Chris was stunned for a second but nodded immediately after. He then ruffled her hair dotingly, and everyone saw it.Kathryn nodded. "Okay!"Her interest in the game grew as she heard she could keep all the winnings.A smile crossed Chris' lips as he saw Kathryn's behavior. He took his phone and left the room. Kathryn looked at the cards Chris got. Marco looked toward her. "Kathryn, have you never won a game before?"Marco suspected she had never won a game. He wondered if she could win after asking a question like that.Kathryn nodded. "Yeah, I've never won before."She was honest, but Marco and Victor thought she was just a beginner. However, Kathryn wasn't. To their surprise, she
