Chapter 24
Eileen gushed, "Sir, this is the cutest kite I've ever seen, and you even drew little hearts on it for me. Thank you."
Jonathan loved hearing Eileen's sweet voice. "As long as you like it. You guys play safely in the yard."
Kyle and Zachary were already racing each other. Jonathan took advantage of their distraction to slip back into the house and call Ben.
Ben answered immediately, "Mr. Berkeley, what do you need?"
"Kathie just left. I need you to follow her and report back on who she meets."
"Mr. Berkeley, this is the first time I've seen you so concerned about a girl.Do you like Dr. Cavendish?"
Jonathan made a displeased sound, and Ben quickly corrected himself."Sorry, Mr. Berkeley, I spoke out of turn. I'll get on it."
"And arrange for someone to protect her discreetly. I'm worried she might be in danger."
Ben thought to himself that Jonathan was clearly worried about Kathie,but he didn't dare say it out loud. Instead, he respectfully replied,"Understood, I'll take care of it."
Kathie arrived at the Starlight Palace Hotel, where Randy was waiting at the entrance.
Kathie hadn't dressed up as Randy had suggested. She wore a simple white shirt and jeans, but her unique charm stillshone through. Randy said. "Kathie. I've prepared some red wine and your favorite snacks.Let's go to the room and talk."
Kathie nodded and followed him to the presidential suite.
As soon as she entered, she saw the floor covered in flower petals,the room filled with fresh flowers, and the air thick with perfume,which was so strong it made her feel nauseous.
On the bed was a set of lingerie, indicating Randy had some plans.
"Kathie,we're going to have a wonderful day here."
"You're quite thoughtful."
"Of course, this is to make up for our wedding night."
Kathie cursed him silently. Then she forced a smile. "In that case,let's not waste time. You go take a shower first."
Randy suggested, "How about we shower together?"
Kathie glared at him. "I don't like that."
"No problem, I'll go shower. You wait for me." Randy didn't want to ruin the mood; he planned to get intimate with her first.
As Randy rushed into the bathroom, Kathie used her phone to hack into the hotel's surveillance system. She saw that Shirley had already arrived at the hotel entrance. The show was about to begin.
Kathie also found two hidden cameras in the room, likely placed by Randy to gather blackmail material.
She had been foolish to ever be interested in someone as despicable as Randy. When Randy came out wrapped in a towel, there was a knock at the door.
Kathie asked curiously. "Who's knocking so urgently? You should go check."
Randy was annoyed. Who was ruining his plans now?
He angrily opened the door, only to be met with a slap.
"Randy, you bastard! You promised me yesterday that you had nothing to do with Kathie, and today you're here with her. Howcould you betray me and our child?" Shirley shouted.
Randy was shocked. He hadn't expected Shirley to show up.
"Stop yelling. Go back, and I'll explain later," he said with an annoyed expression.
Shirley was furious and pushed the door open. When she saw Kathie, she lost it. "You shameless pair! Kathie, you're my sister! How could you do this behind my back?"
Kathie laughed. "I remember you saying you didn't have a sister. Now you're claiming me?"
Shirley decided to go all out. She started shouting, "Everyone, come see!My man is cheating with my sister, abandoning me and our child. I don't want to live anymore!"
Shirley's cries attracted a crowd, and people started pointing at Randy and Kathie.
"She's so shameless. She's so pretty, why seduce her sister's husband? It's not like all the men in the world are dead."
"Yeah, young people these days are hard to figure out. How can she treat her own family like that? Doesn't she feel any guilt?" "These adulterers have no conscience. They only care about their fun in bed."
"Let's record a video and expose them. Everyone should avoid these scumbags."
Amidst the accusations. Kathie stepped out with a marriage certificate and opened it for everyone to see. "Everyone, look closely. This man and I are legally married. This woman causing a scene is the mistress. She seduced my husband, had a child with him, and is trying to force us to divorce.Just as we were reconciling, she came to cause trouble again."
Shirley was stunned.
The crowd was shocked, and their attitude quickly shifted.
"What? So she's the wife, and you're the mistress? How dare you slander her? You're so evil."
"Yeah,we almost wronged her because of you. You're shameless."
"Mistresses should die. You bully the wife, and she has such a sister, how unlucky."
Some people also pointed out Randy's faults. "This man isn't good either.
Even if he was seduced, how could he betray his wife?"
"Exactly, he's a scumbag. Miss, you should leave him."
Randy's face turned ugly. He blamed Shirley for causing this scene.
The crowd's scorn overwhelmed Shirley. She had been pampered all her life and had never been humiliated like this. All this pain was Kathie's doing.
Kathie approached her. "Shirley, how does it feel to be on the receiving end of public opinion?" Shirley shook her head. It wasn't supposed to be like this. She had been with Randy for four years.She should have been his wife.
"This isn't right. It's all your fault. Why don't you just die?" Randy retorted.
Kathieslapped her. "You're a mistress and still so arrogant. You must have learned this from your mother. You probably want to kill me and marry my husband."
Shirley couldn't take it anymore and lunged at Kathie. "How dare you hit me? I'll fight you."
Kathie dodged nimbly and tripped her,making Shirley fall face-first.
Kathie sneered, "You want to fight? You're no match for me."
Shirley got up and charged again. Kathie slapped her twice more, leaving Shirley dazed.
The crowd grew larger, and Randy couldn't let them keep fighting.He stepped in to break it up, only to be kicked twice and slapped by Kathie.
Randy was stunned. "Kathie,how could you hit me too?"
Kathie looked innocent and even a bit concerned. "Oh, did I hit you? I was so angry. Why did you come over? You could get hurt. Does it hurt?"
Randy thought it was an accident. He knew she still cared about him.
Shirley couldn't stand Kathie's fake concern and lunged again, only to be beaten up once more.
Kathie had long wanted to deal with these two scumbags. Today, she had her fill.
Staff arrived to stop the fight, ending the drama. Kathie left gracefully. Randy had booked a suite but got nothing out of it, only humiliation.Among the crowd, he had seen some familiar faces. If this got out, he'd have no dignity left.
Thinking about this, he grew even more annoyed with the crying Shirley.
He yelled at her, "All you do is cause trouble. Have you thought about how we'll face people after this?"
