Chapter 485

Since that dinner, Julian couldn’t understand what Katherine saw in him.

She was only 23 years old, from a well–off family, pampered and cherished. Although she had faced some hardships and encountered fraudsters, her family background could quickly help her recover.

But Julian wasn’t like that

His parents were criminals, one detained and the other on the run.

Even if Ruth’s crime wasn’t severe and she might not end up in prison, Julian couldn’t escape the fact that she was his biological mother. He knew better than anyone how Valerie had suffered over the years. He couldn’t drag Katherine into this mess too.

Julian glanced back at the large cat cafe. The sunset cast a warm glow, and he could see her silhouette on the second floor. He sighed. She wasn’t someone he could afford to entangle with. They should keep away from each other.

Katherine deliberately sat by the window.

She saw Julian’s glance back at her. She thought he would call her and apologize, but after waiting for a long time, Julian returned to his fruit shop instead

Katherine Fumed with anger.

Then she received a phone call and immediately barked, “Who is it? Speak up!”

On the other end, Angel was taken aback and displeased. “Katherine, what’s your problem? Can’t you speak properly!”

Katherine used to be intimidated by Angel, but after what happened last time, she no longer had any illusions about Angel. Now, she saw Angel only as a troublemaker. Besides, Katherine was in a bad mood.

Katherine said, “Get to the point, or I’m hanging up”

Angel bir back her anger and said, “I heard Valerie was found“”

Sure enough, it was about Valerie. Katherine sneered. “Yes, she’s been found. She’s doing well, and the Anderson family has acknowledged her as their long–lost granddaughter. From now on, she’s with the Anderson family, Didn’t you always say Valerie wasn’t a match for Mr. Grant Well, now you don’t have to worry. They’re a perfect match. As for you, focus on your acting career. Maybe you’ll get a rich husband, or else wait for the family to arrange a marriage for you.”

Angel couldn’t believe how infuriating Katherine was

But when marriage was mentioned, Angel let out a strange, cold laugh. “Katherine, I heard you’re getting close to Valerie’s poor brother. Think carefully, don’t be foolish and fall for another poor guy. Otherwise, the family will definitely arrange your marriage first.”

Katherine said, “Mind your own business, you hag!”

Angel said. “You dare call me a hag…”

Angel was furious, but Katherine had already

dy hung up. Hearing the dial tone, Angel swallowed her anger.

Getting angry at Katherine was useless. The real issue was confirming the Anderson family’s acknowledgment. This was urgent

Angel quickly got into her car and drove to the Anderson family.

At the Anderson family, Olivia was already making arrangements to prepare the mansion for her granddaughter’s return. The long–quier house had to be lively.

Not only that, she was also planning to have Owen announce that the Anderson family’s granddaughter was back, inviting all the notable guests in Kranson City to meet her. Olivia could hardly wait.

Although Matthew insisted on investigating thoroughly, there were still some suspicious points in this matter

Ethan hadn’t been found, and the Anderson family’s high–profile actions were actually inappropriate. But Owen couldn’t say much more. After all, Olivia had been deeply troubled by Sarah’s disappearance, and now that she had finally been found, Olivia couldn’t help but want to publicize it. Ir was understandable

Angel arrived just as Olivia was in the living room, overseeing the preparations. “Move quickly! Bring all the gifts up. Get rid of that cabinet, and put up the crystal chandelier. Is the upstairs room ready?”

“Everything is ready, Olivia,” Leon responded. “We’re just waiting for the young lady to come back. We’ve prepared everything just as it was before she left, including her favorite foods.”

Olivia was overjoyed. “That’s right! When Sarah comes back, I’m going to throw a grand party to show her how much we’ve been waiting for her! I’ll give her the best of everything!!”

Thinking about the hardships Valerie had endured for over a decade made Olivia furious. Her foster parents hadn’t treated her well, turning the lovely lady into this state.

But Valerie was finally back. Punishing the wrongdoers could wait. The Anderson family’s influence would make them pay.

Olivia’s face was beaming with joy. It seemed like the first time in years she had smiled so genuinely, making Angel feel a pang of jealousy. It looks like everything Katherine said is true. Angel thought.
