Chapter 265

She threw herself at Nathan’s arms and looked at him with resentment without saying another word.

He was also looking for an excuse to retaliate, so he questioned Jasper, “Is this the way you speak?

Who do you mean by b*tches?”

Jasper laughed, raising his gaze to look at Nathan. Compared to the latter’s frustration, there was no

hint of any offense in his eyes. However, it was precisely because of his humble attitude that his words

were even more infuriating. “Apart from Katie, the rest of the women who want me are b*tches. If you

like to put yourself in this category, suit yourselves!”

Nathan’s face was very sullen, as if dark clouds had covered his entire face. Looking extremely

offended, he suddenly smiled coldly and looked at Kate as he said spitefully, “Your taste in men still has

a lot of room for improvement. Though you change boyfriends often, their quality seems to be worse!”

Kate smiled with warmth. “Well, I don’t mind at all—as long as your taste is good enough.”

Nathan snorted before saying, “My taste is indeed much better than yours.”

Her pupils narrowed as her face darkened before looking at him with a cold expression. “In that case,

why don’t you return home and look at her for the entire day? We haven’t even started eating, so

please don’t stand here and affect our appetite!”

“Well, I was about to say the same thing. After staying here for such a short while, even our appetite is

gone!”

With that, Nathan pulled Melanie away while Kate tried to suppress her rising anger.

Then, Jasper smiled. “What was that? Is he your ex?”

Kate didn’t want to elaborate, so she vaguely replied, “No. Thanks for everything.”

He looked at her in shock. “For what?”

Upon looking at his serious expression, she added, “Nothing.”

He was just helping me out earlier. If I talk too much about it, it’ll make me look like I actually believe

him!

However, he resumed the topic and patiently explained to her, “When I said that I’m yours earlier, I

really mean it!”

She froze. In fact, she felt his intimacy, but her heart had already belonged to another person seven

years ago. What can I give him now?

She laughed lightly. “Let me tell you this—the price has already been fixed. No matter who you are to

me, there’s no discount!”

He laughed out loud. “I’m not telling you that to obtain a discount!”

“No matter what, there’s no discount whatsoever. Everything has to be calculated accordingly, even if

you’re my brother.”

He did not plan to let her off the hook just like that, so he asked again, “What if I’m your boyfriend?”

Kate’s heart skipped a beat. “That won’t do. In this day of age, a boyfriend is the most unreliable

person nowadays.”

Jasper was exasperated by her attempt to pass it off as a joke. “Fine, since you don’t want to talk about

relationships, let’s discuss work.”

Upon hearing that, she smiled. “I have no problem with that.”

...

Olivia, George, Kate, and Nathan gathered at a five-star hotel the next evening.

Kate had arrived at the same time as Olivia and George, but Nathan was late. On top of that, he wasn’t

alone as he brought Melanie along.

Olivia slightly frowned when the three of them saw Nathan with Melanie. He clearly knows that this is a

private gathering for the few of us. Why did he bring that woman? Does he want to make us disgusted?

Kate felt similar emotions—she kept convincing herself not to care about it anymore during the period

and thought that she had succeeded.

However, as soon as she saw them arriving together like a pair of Siamese twins, she finally knew that

she was feigning that she didn’t care at all. As Jasper was around yesterday, she felt less lonely due to

his presence. Perhaps it was their jabs at each other that made her feel more at ease.

However, since it was a private gathering tonight, they shouldn’t have brought anyone whom they liked.

After all, their topics would surround this past. If he doesn’t have the intention to be with her forever, he

won’t bring her here along.
