Matthew was still as arrogant as ever. He said coldly. Thatâs none of your business.
Louis was angered by his attitude. âAngel and Lindsey really misjudged you back then!â)]
Valerie frowned.
This was not the first time she had heard the name Lindsey.
The last time Sophia was around. Matthew mentioned it once. Although he claimed to be merely helping out at someoneâs request, he treated Lindsey like a sister. However, with Valerieâs intuition and the scent of perfume left on Matthewâs coat, Valerie guessed that Lindsey might have feelings for Matthew.
She was already a little overwhelmed by this.
Why was there another person called Angel now!
Moreover, Valerie did not know if it was her imagination, but when Louis said this name, Matthewâs eyes were even gloomier than before.
âWho exactly was that Miss Angel? Valerie said.
Valerie looked at the two of them in confusion, especially Matthew. How many good sisters did he have! She really knew nothing about her husband.
Valerie felt a lade strange and had mixed feelings
Louis then shifted the conversation and thanked her again. âMiss Warren, thanks for your help with Katherine. If you ever encounter any trouble in the future, feel free to come to the Santos Group and look for me. Everyone at the Santos Group will do their utmost to assist you.
âMr. Santos, youâre too kind. Iâm just a friend of Katherineâs, so itâs only natural to help. Valerie smiled, but her mind was still filled with confusion from earlier. âWhy did Matthewâs expression turn so serious when he heard the name Angel? Valerie thought.
Moreover,
time.
Just as she was feeling puzzled, Louisâs phone suddenly rang. His expression changed when he heard the call.
âKatherine is missingâ He came here to deal with Caleb and sent bodyguards to Katherineâs apartment to pick her up. couldnât find her
However, the bodyguards
âWhat?â Valerie was shocked. She quickly called Katherine, but as before, she didnât pick up
Considering Katherineâs recent state of distress and disappearance at such a critical moment, Valerie speculated the worst Matthew said, âDonât be nervous. Think about where Katherine usually goes.â
Matthewâs voice remained composed and calm, but Valerie couldnât shake off her unease. She was still deeply pondering Katherineâs possible whereabouts when her phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was Julian calling, Valerie answered, intending to explain that she was currently unavailable. However, she was completely taken aback when Julian informed her that he had seen Katherine.
âWhat? Really?â Valerie was shocked
Julianâs voice was affirmative as he said, âValerie, I recognized that girl I remembered seeing her in your social media posts. She looked distraught, and I wanted to ask if she needed help. But she didnât say a word and just went straight to the rooftop of the opposite building. It seemed like she was in a very desperate state. Hurry over here!â
འའ༠à½à½à¼ à¼à¼à¼à¼à¼à¼
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the people changed. They y quickly left the bar and rushed to Ashland Street.
Valere remembered that Katherineâs building was located on Ashland Street. She had even considered asking Julian to help check out the site before. Given everything that had happened, it was understandable that Katherine, in her distress, went there.
Julian informed Valene that Katherine was in a very bad state, standing on the edge of the rooftop, appearing distressed. He had already called the authorities for help.
Valerieâs heart ached when the brand that âBrother, please help me calm her down!â
Valerie sat in the car with Matthew driving, whule Louisâs car followed closely belund, speeding down the road. Taking the opportunity, Valerie filled Julian in on the situation with Caleb. At this critical moment, her brother was the only person she could rely on.
Julian fels a panc
sympathy: Katherine was around the same age as Valerie, and he couldnât bear to imagine if Valerie had encountered someone like Caleb. He reckoned he would be furious. But no matter how sad Katherine might get, punishing herselt for the wrongdoings of a scoundrel

wasnât the solution.
The adjacent building was still being advertised for rent, so all the passages were open. Emergency services hadnât arrived yet Julian, after leaving the fruit store, went straight to the opposite building. When he saw Katherine standing on the balconyâs edge, his heart skipped a beat.
âMiss Santos, Valerie has already told me about your situation. Iâm Valerieâs brother. If you donât mind, you can call me Julian. Listen to me, donât do anything foolish!â
Katherine looked at Julian blankly, tears immediately welling up in her eyes. âJulian, please, donât say anythingâ¦â¦.â
âAlright, please come down. In this world, apart from life and death, thereâs nothing insurmountable. If youâre not afraid of death, what else is there to fear?â Julian said.
Katherine broke down emotionally, shaking her head repeatedly. Just as Valerie and the others rushed over, ready to approach and persuade her. Katherineâs distress only intensified when she sax them. Tears streamed down her face even more profusely.
âDonât come over. Please donât come over. I canât take it anymore⦠Katherineâs expression was filled with sorrow, Tm pregnant with Calebâs child, and now heâs abandoned me. Iâm a complete failureâ¦
So that was the reason
Valerie could almost envision how Caleb, on one hand, accused Katherine of being responsible for her own suffering and, on the other, used the child to manipulate her, leading Katherine into a spiral of guilt and selfâdoubt, subjected to his manipulation.
Katherine, usually so optimistic, had been forced into this state, just driving Calch out of Kranson City seemed too lenient for him!
Valerie was about to console Katherine when Julian preemptively spoke up. He didnât attempt to persuade or lecture. Instead, with a relaxed tone and a smile, he said. I thought it was some major issue, but it turns out youâre just pregnant
Katherine was stunned and looked at Julian in confusion
âEven if youâre pregnant, youâre still you. The sky wonât collapse because of this, and the people who really love you wonât be prejudiced against you because of this, right?â Julian said.
Julianâs words stunned Katherine again. She looked at Valerie and Louis in a daze. When she saw their concerned gazes, her eyes gradually moistened.
Julian, who seemed to be smiling, took advantage of the moment when she relaxed her attention, Coupled with the fact that the two of them were relatively close, he went forward and hugged Katherineâs waist, pulling her back from the balcony.
Seeing this, Louis heaved a sigh of relief and quickly went forward to help.
Valerie also wanted to go forward. Matthew silently looked at her abdomen. He moved faster than her and controlled Katherine with Louis,
