Cathy drove up to the entrance of the Lata Café, across the street from the Café was the Haji Hotel, a very famous luxury hotel, and at this time the whole building was very lavishly decorated, with a lot of colorful balloons and balloons hanging up, it looked quite childish.
But Cathy didn't care about her surroundings at all, she was only nervous about the "battlefield" she was about to face.
Cathy took a deep breath, then walked into the Café with her head held high, her hands clasped together, doing her best to pose like the noblewoman she'd seen. She must not show her vulnerability to this hateful home-wrecker.
After pushing her way into the coffee shop, she looked around it for a moment before locking onto a lady sitting in the corner wearing a black dress.
"Excuse me, it's good to see you, ma'am." She slowly walked over to the table and stood still, speaking softly but not without sarcasm.
The lady in the black dress raised her head at the sound, Cathy had to admit that she was really pretty, her white face was not powdered much, her face was slightly flushed, and her features were very delicate, but at this time her eyes were filled with tears, the moment she raised her head, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and transparent tears flowed down her face, making her even more pathetic.
"I'm glad to see you too, Mrs. Lewis, please sit down," She hastily wiped away her tears and stood up, saying softly.
"Mrs. Lewis, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Gina," When Cathy sat down, she lowered her head, lowered her eyes, gently bit her lower lip, and rejoined, "Kevin and I have known each other since we were children, we were playmates, but after I graduated from junior high school, because of my family's reasons, I left, and it was only until I came back last year that I was reunited with Kevin again. I fell deeply in love with him after that reunion, and I had no desire to break your life, but ...... but love came too fast like a tornado, my heart was ravaged by torture and pain, so I couldn't bear it any longer ......Mrs. Lewis, I hope you'll never blame him, it's all my fault that our relationship has developed so far because of my pestering ......"
Tears covered her face as Gina spoke, her voice choked up so much that she couldn't speak anymore, and she cried with her hands covering her face.
Cathy really hated it immensely, and at the same time her heart ached violently as if it was cut by a knife, and her eyes reddened all of a sudden, but she had been holding back to keep the tears from flowing down her face because she didn't want to show her vulnerability in front of a shameless person.
So she raised her chin and looked at the anguished Gina in front of her with a scornful gesture and said sarcastically,
"It's obvious that you've been trying to paint a picture of how genuine your feelings are and how hard it is to hold them back, and you may just be a poor person lost in temptation, but please know that a person who truly loves herself doesn't allow herself to be a spoiler in someone else's love. The world of other people's relationships is not something you can just step into, and being a mistress only adds to your own disgrace, no matter how hard it is for you to hold back your so-called love."
Cathy kept saying the most stinging things she could think of and desperately resisted the urge to slap her because educated ladies don't do things like that. Looking across the table at Gina, who couldn't stop crying.
"As for your pregnancy, I'll give you five million dollars if you promise to leave Kevin and have an abortion. I'm sure that whatever ails you after you have the five million dollars will not be a problem."Cathy tried to calm her anger and spoke again.
Cathy took a check out of her handbag and placed it in the middle of the table.
Gina froze slightly when she heard this and looked up at the check without saying a word.
"I am not going to divorce Kevin, and I'm sure Kevin won't do it either. If you insist on having this child, then it will be a bastard and would you be willing to keep such a reputation for your child?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Cathy continued.
Gina's tears flowed down again, crying more and more as she lowered her head, her body trembling slightly.
Compared to Cathy, who was proudly tilting her head and straightening her spine, Gina's thin body looked thinner and thinner.
Cathy looked at her and felt both hatred and pity in her heart. It's not that she didn't understand how unreasonable feelings could be, but what she hated was Gina's shameless involvement in her and Kevin's marriage.
"If you've figured it out, contact me and bring me the test report at that time, " Cathy didn't want to continue to spend time with her, so she stood up and reached out her hand intending to reach for the check on the table while saying, "and I'll give you the five million dollars. If you don't, then ...... Ah!"
A sudden hand pushed her out of the way, and Cathy took the impact with a slam into the wall behind her, hitting her bones so hard they ached, and you could see how hard the push had been.
Cathy crouched down in pain, she felt sure that bruises would come out of her back, she looked up to see who was being so rude, only to look up and see Kevin who was looking at her with a cold look on his face.
Kevin in front of her was wearing a light blue shirt with a black suit, the suit jacket was unbuttoned, revealing a jewel-encrusted belt buckle, and the shallow crotch suit pants were the most popular non-traditional design of suit pants, overall loose but without losing poise.But the cold look made Cathy feel very unfamiliar, because Kevin had never shown this kind of expression in front of her, and he had never looked at her with such a cold look!Cathy was a little disturbed, she was just about to open her mouth to ask him why he was there when Kevin spoke coldly, "Cathy, you're such a disappointment to me, how could you turn out like this? How could you be so cruel?" "What do you mean Kevin, I don't understand what you mean." Cathy was a little uncertain as she stood up and asked suspiciously."I know all about it, you tried to use the money to get Gina to leave me, you even made a weakened Gina get an abortion! That's my baby, Cathy, how could you be so vicious? Why didn't you
"Cathy, leave away if you've done enough, what a cheek." Kevin had a pissed-off enough look on his face as he looked down and straightened his suit jacket, buttoning it back up.At this moment Cathy was on the verge of a breakdown, she didn't want to get close to anyone, her eyes stared hard at the man in front of her who was buttoning his suit at a leisurely pace. How could he, how could he be so heartless, so cruel, actually marrying her because she looked like Gina, was she just a stand-in?Cathy was stung by the word, her feelings became worthless, her three years of dedication, three years of being insulted and scolded by her mother-in-law, all of it, became so ironic at this moment!This man! The man she loved and believed in so much!And this darn Gina, she's been gone for so many years, why can't she be gone forever?Why does she have to show up when she's finally happy?She knew she wasn't favored by God, was fatherless and motherless, and life at the Jones Orphanage could on
Cathy was helped into the back seat of the car by Joe, and only when she was seated did she realize that it was old Mrs. Lewis sitting beside her."Mother." she hung her head low and whispered.Old Mrs. Lewis wasn't looking too good at the moment. She was sitting upright, her eyes flat in front of her, and she hadn't given her a look when Cathy got in the car.''You really made a big splash today!" Hearing Cathy's voice, she finally couldn't hold it in and sneered with a cold smile,"All the dinner guests have viewed your performance, seen your scandalous behavior, and know who you are! What a marvelous thing to do! Fortunately, no one knows that you're the daughter-in-law of the Lewis family, or else you've not only shamed yourself today but also shamed our family!"Cathy hung her head down, she remembered that when she and Kevin got married, they didn't hold a big wedding banquet, instead they only invited some of Kevin's friends to attend.At that time Kevin said that he didn't lik
At eight o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door."Are you up, My Lady? Madam will be up soon, do you want to get up early first?" And then Milah's voice rang out.Old Mrs. Lewis got up every day at 8:30 on the dot, and when she got up she made sure to see Cathy waiting in front of her room to greet her, otherwise Cathy would not be able to have a good time the whole day, because old Mrs. Lewis thought that a lady was never allowed to stay in bed, and it was a good thing to be able to insist on getting up early.So every morning Milah wakes Cathy up at eight o'clock. But today Milah waited for a few seconds after knocking on the door and found that there was no sound of her master coming from inside the room."My Lady? Are you awake? Are you alright?" She frowned and knocked on the door again and raised her voice a bit to call out.After waiting for a few seconds, she realized that something was wrong and opened the door without thinking about anything else.Milah excla
"Cathy, you and Joe go to the studio and ask how long it will take to finish the custom-made complete set of jewelry with that emerald gemstone I got at auction last time, I'm planning on organizing a party next month to show it off. Remember to stop by and see Director Andrew, you check that gown for me again, I always feel that something is not right, so tell Director Andrew to modify it again, otherwise I have no way to wear it out of the house. Ah yes, the smoky incense in the bedroom helps me to change a kind of it, I'm already tired of this smell, the brand that was introduced to me last time I went shopping is good, you go and help me to choose a few models to come back and I'll decide, you know, don't be too pungent, don't contain lavender, I don't like it."After breakfast, old Mrs. Lewis began her instructions for the new day. Cathy listened, feeling her vaguely aching headache even more.Actually, going out was a nice thing for Cathy to do, because it meant not having to se
"My Lady, would you like to take a break next, or go straight to the AKS?" asked Joe as he stood and watched her straighten the folds of her skirt on the mannequin table."Go straight to the AKS counter." Cathy felt tired at the thought of picking out perfume in a few moments, and Cathy felt a little dizzy, probably from this morning's medication wearing off, but it was bearable, so Cathy didn't ask Joe to get the new medication.Coming out of the studio, Cathy realized that the sky was dark and cloudy and the air had become overcast and breathless."Looks like we're going to get a big rainstorm, hopefully, we can get everything settled before it does." Cathy exhaled softly and bent down to get into the car.Inside the AKS perfume store, Cathy had just walked into the store with Joe and caught the attention of the clerk, a brunette with neatly coiffed hair greeted her with a smile."May I ask if you are Mrs. Cathy? We've picked out the right perfume in advance as per your request, let
Along the way, Cathy quietly looked out the window, her eyes lifeless. The sky was still gloomy, just like her state of mind at this moment.The speed of the car was very fast, so soon Cathy arrived in front of the villa, she saw the familiar black Mercedes Benz parked in front of the door, she smiled bitterly and realized that this was Kevin's car.When she was about to get out of the car, Cathy hesitated, she was a bit scared."My Lady, you're finally back." Milah noticed the vehicle parked at the door and realized it was Cathy returning, so she rushed out the door to greet her."What is it now?" Cathy got out of the car anyway, there was no use backing down at a time like this."The old lady and the lady are visiting in the back garden now and Mr. Kevin is still in the study." Milah followed behind Cathy and answered quickly."Mother and ......the lady are visiting which side of the garden ?" Cathy paused in her walking, and although she had guessed the answer, she asked anyway."T
A violent storm raged, and the trees along the roadside trembled in shock. In the distance, a purple bolt of lightning ripped through the void. The sound of sobbing wind, roaring thunder, and crashing rain mingled into one. The villa area was far away from the city, and there was only one figure on the wide road looming in the rain. The closer she walked, the more her figure gradually emerged, growing thinner and thinner as the storm washed over her. She walked slowly with her head down, letting the storm wash over her, and she did nothing about it. Cathy didn't know how long she'd been walking, she didn't know where she was going, she was just walking forward, she was drained. Kevin was once her lifeline, tugging at him, she had the motivation and direction to survive, so she put a layer of filters on all the people and things related to Kevin in her heart, and she looked at the world through the filters. But what's fake was still fake, and the filter couldn't cover up the false an
