Chapter 19
"You're talking big, Alice! But believe it or not, I will let my son inform the person behind you that you will no longer be a part of the entertainment industry by tomorrow.’’ Alice almost laughed to death after hearing the words.
"I dare you, old hag.If you indeed manage to have me banned, I, Alice Jensen, from the entertainment industry, will then go to the Colburn family and prostrate myself in front of you!" Victoria was so angry that her face turned green.
"You, you, you are so uncivilized!"
"People's upbringing differs from people to people, you old hag.And you are not exactly fit to be part of the human civilization, so you don't need to be treated with class"
For so many years, Victoria suppressed Katherine, whereas Natalie had always tried to please her.
Victoria had thought everyone was afraid of her.
But now that she had encountered a person like Alice, Victoria couldn't help her temper from escalating.
Her face would turn from red to green and back.
Katherine had never once won against Victoria, although she tried her best to fight her.
Katherine was not so presumptuous then.
Victoria turned her glaring eyes to Katherine and spat out, "This is the type of friends you have? You are both uncivilized and have no class! No wonder you two get along so well.You're the same"
Katherine's face instantly turned cold.
She stood up and sneered at Victoria, "No matter how evil you may think we are, we can never compare to you, Madame Colburn.Remember how you abandoned your husband and son back then?!"
The whole Y City knew how Victoria took her settlement money after her divorce from Zack's father and took her lover away from the city.
It was a long time ago, and no one had dared to mention it now.
Victoria had almost thought that the matter was over.
But Katherine dared to mention it now and insult her! Victoria was not a simpleton even when she was young.
She knew then that the rich and powerful families had and would always care about their reputation, and Victoria had learned to mind her manners.
But today, Katherine had bared her darkest secret.
Victoria couldn't care less about her reputation! She became hysterical and threw the iron clothes rack at Katherine.
"You slut, shut up!"
Katherine side-stepped to dodge the clothes rack thrown at her.
Alice was momentarily startled but quickly protected Katherine.
Alice shouted, "You old hag, you dare to hit me!"
Katherine grabbed Alice and pulled the latter away from the fray.
She glanced at Natalie and sneered.
Katherine then took out her phone and called Zack's secretary.
Aidan had just come out of the conference room and didn't expect to receive a call from someone unexpected.
He was shocked but quickly pressed the answer button when he saw the caller ID.
"Miss Katherine?"
"It's me.Could you please ask Zack to come to the Nifty Clothes shop on the fourth floor of the Central Plaza? Tell him to take this old hag and his lover away! I'll give you thirty minutes.If you come later than that, then don't blame me if anything happens!"
"Miss Katherine, that is..."
Before Aidan could ask what had happened, Katherine had already hung up the phone.
He looked at the ten-second call logged on his screen, still disoriented.
It was the first time he had heard Katherine raise her voice.
In his mind, Katherine had always been gentle and meek for all the three years she had been married to his boss.
As Zack's secretary, he had never seen Katherine angry.
He could only assume that the ‘old hag’ was Victoria.
If not her, who else could it be? And Zack's ‘lover’ would probably be the most popular candidate for Zack's wife.
Aidan mentally shook himself and went to Zack's office.
"Mr.Colburn’
"Speak"
Zack was calmly and thoughtfully signing some documents as he spoke.
Aidan swallowed before gritting his teeth and said, "Miss Katherine just called"
Zack's hand suddenly stopped and hovered midway from flipping through the documents suddenly stopped and his eyes bored into him. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Oh, what did she say?"
Zack's mind was reeling, ‘Could it be that she's now regretting divorcing me?’
‘Heh! It's useless even if she regretted it.I will never remarry a woman like her!’
Aidan had no way of knowing what his boss was thinking, but he did know that he couldn't say outright what Katherine had told him, so he tweaked his story a bit.
"It seems that the Madame went shopping with Natalie today and encountered Miss Katherine along the way.I heard there was a bit of a problem, and I would like to verify if you would like to go and have a look?"
