Chapter 5

I rolled my eyes and then turned around with a sweet smile and said, "Kathryn, stay for dinner today! I'll make you some soup!"

Kathryn, looking a little confused, nodded dazedly. "Ah... okay."

I glanced at that damned duck and couldn't help but show a victorious grin.

An hour later...

"Lois, I didn't expect you could cook! This is even better than the three-star Michelin chef at my family's place. You're amazing!"

Kathryn took a bite and nodded furiously, her eyes sparkling as she looked at me.

I looked down in embarrassment and chuckled, "Kathryn, it's just a simple home-cooked meal. I thought you wouldn't like it."

We were enjoying the meal when suddenly, the door was kicked open with a loud bang.

The sound startled me, and I almost dropped my fork.

I glanced at the door frame, wincing in pain. This door was worth millions of dollars!

Matthew was at it again, full of that unshakable arrogance!

"Kathryn, I've put up with everything you've done in the past, but this time, you've gone too far!"

Matthew stormed in with cold eyes, locking them onto Kathryn.

I immediately put down my fork and cast an ambiguous glance at Nancy, who was standing behind him.

The person I had a conflict with was me, but she went and told Matthew about Kathryn's situation.

How typical! She knew exactly how to pick the easy target.
