Chapter 695

Max was about to reveal Julian’s identity when a commotion erupted behind him. “Dale is here!” someone shouted. Vivian turned around and saw Dale arriving with Katherine in tow.

Katherine quickly walked to her mother’s side. “Mom, I heard your voice just now. What were you talking about? Why were you shouting so ily?”

Seeing Katherine, Vivian immediately grabbed her. “What else could I be talking about but him?” She gestured toward Julian with her chin.

Katherine glanced in Julian’s direction and then at her mother. “Mom, what do you mean? This isn’t the place for such nonsense!”

“Nonsense? What did I say wrong?” Vivian was instantly displeased. “And you, are you still thinking about him?”

Katherine looked at Julian and the woman by his side, her face darkening. As Katherine remained silent, Vivian promptly gave her a sharp smack on the arm. I’m telling you, this guy obviously still has feelings for you. You must not be fooled. A man who rises through women’s support is not fit for our family!” Katherine was displeased. “Mom, how can you say that? He relied on his own ability to make a living. What’s wrong with that? Some people are even worse than him!”

Julian and Linda exchanged a glance. Vivian was infuriated and was about to step forward when Katherine stopped her. “What are you doing? This isn’t a place for you to make a scene.”

“Mr. Warren, I’m sorry. Please leave. I’ll talk to my mother.” Katherine offered an apologetic nod to Julian, who left with Linda immediately.

What they saw as worthless was actually priceless, Mr. Redfield mused, letting out a sigh before leaving. He didn’t know what they were thinking.

Katherine felt a sense of relief as Mr. Redfield left, but Vivian was furious. “You brat, are you still thinking about him? I’m telling you, that guy has his eye on that woman, pulling the same old tricks. There’s bound to be trouble. If you don’t let go of him, I’ll break your legs!”

Exasperated, Katherine replied, “Mom, stop already. There’s no possibility left between him and me. Please don’t slander him. Julian isn’t that kind of person.”

Vivian’s face turned red with anger, but she couldn’t say much more with Dale behind her. “Think carefully. If anything happens, I won’t let you off!” she hissed the warning under her breath.

With that, she left. Katherine narrowed her eyes as Dale approached. “Katherine, get this straight. I’m your boyfriend! Don’t make a fool of yourself. If word gets out, it will be bad for everyone.”

Katherine looked at him and chuckled coldly. “What right do you have to warn me? We’re just using each other for our own needs. Isn’t that clear to you? Or do you still want to talk about feelings? Don’t make me sick, Dale.”

Enraged by Katherine’s scornful eyes, Dale snapped, “Don’t regret it!”

Katherine said coldly, “Are you done? If so, you

leave now,”

Katherine couldn’t care less about him. Her indirent gaze only infuriated Dale further, but there was nothing he could do. Dale gritted his teeth and followed closely behind, but Katherine wasn’t giving him any chance. If they wanted her to attend this banquet, so be it. However, she wasn’t about to pretend to be a loving couple with Dale, especially not after seeing Julian.

Honestly, Katherine knew in her heart that she was still thinking about Julian, but he was now with someone else. She had no right to follow him around. She let out a bitter laugh, thinking, ‘I have no right to be thinking about him. She was already with Dale, and with the media coverage, Julian must have seen it. There was no point in trying to chase after him after he had rejected her.

Katherine looked around and saw that Louis had arrived. She immediately went up to him. “Louis!”

Louis, who arrived late, looked haggard from work. At least being busy kept him occupied.

“You should cover up those dark circles!” Katherine chided.

Louis smiled and said, “I’m already an old man. What’s the point? Where’s Dale? Didn’t he come with you?”

“He’s at the back,” Katherine replied, clearly irritated by the mention of Dale, as she pulled Louis along. “I’m your sister. Why’re you staring at him?”

“It’s all because of your relationship with Dale that our company’s situation has improved. I need to keep him in check and make sure he treats you better.” “Can Dale can really help you so much?”

“Yes, because of your relationship, the Santos Group has become a benchmark in the industry. A strong alliance between a wealthy family and a star. Katherine, I really have to thank you this time!”

Louis didn’t notice the bitter smile on Katherine’s lips. He only patted her shoulder. “I’ll go over there to take a look first. Stick close to Dale and don’t wander off.”

“Alright.” Katherine took a deep bre brother looked more exhausted today.

s she watched Louis walk away. Her

Valerie had given birth to a child, but Louis didn’t go to see her. Katherine understood his thoughts. ‘Fate was truly cruel, she mused. She turned around and was relieved to see that Dale was nowhere in sight. She walked over to a corner and sat down. She spotted Julian and Linda from a distance, who were dazzling as they moved through the crowd, feeling a pang of sadness.

When Dale found Katherine, he saw her drinking alone, looking desolate. His frustration grew as he thought about how the Santos family had used him. ‘They played me like a puppet, pretending to be affectionate in front of others when they needed me and kicking me aside when they’re done. The thought of another man still on her mind while she pretended to be graceful made Dale’s anger boil. Gripping a glass of champagne, he downed it in one go. ‘I refuse to believe that with my abilities, I couldn’t win her heart!
