Chapter 197

Nicholas‘s daughter wanted to stop Katherine.However, she stopped as Nicholas glared at her.She
didn't bother to reach out to Katherine.

Katherine had destroyed the Walker family and brought them into this mess before she left less than
half an hour ago.

Nicholas narrowed his eyes as he watched Katherine walk away from them.It turned out that his first
impression of Katherine was wrong.It seemed that Katherine was so much more powerful than him.

Nicholas finally heard the sound of a car engine starting from outside the villa a while later.

Indicating Zack and Katherine had left.

Nicholas looked back to his study room and gritted his teeth.He had no choice but to hold back and
swallow his rage.

Not to mention that Zack was backing Katherine up in everything.

Once Katherine hands the evidence that she gathered about Nicholas, not only would he be affected,
but the entire Walker family would be destroyed.

Nicholas was already fifty-eight years old this year.

In the next two years, he would be sixty.

He wasn't a teenager anymore that has all the freedom in the world.He had six children that relied on
him.He had to think about what was better for them, not himself.He became less and less daring as he
grew older.He became more terrified at the thought of death at his age.

Lily ran back inside from looking over the balcony.



"Dad!" she called.

"Who was that woman? Was she insane? Why didn't you let me call the police on her?"

Nicholas looked at his children, who seemed worried.

He took a deep breath and said, "You have to keep the events of tonight a secret.I will not forgive
anyone who would speak about this outside!"

"Who was that woman, Dad?" Lily asked again.

"Just leave Katherine alone! She's not someone we can mess with!" Nicholas ordered.

"Do you understand?" No one responded.

No one could swallow this anger.

Only the people who were part of the Walker family were the ones making a scene outside from the
start.

Now that others were threatening them, how could they possibly bear the humiliation? Nicholas did not
care at all.

"It's all because of you!" he snapped as he kicked Robbie.

"You still dare to provoke her after this? Don't come crying to me later if you don't listen to me at all"

Nicholas turned back to his study room after he vented out his irritation.

The door was wide open, and the inside was extremely messy.



Katherine smashed a couple of things during her time there.She destroyed the things that were
expensive along with the cheap ones.

The things that Katherine destroyed were approximately worth about ten million dollars tonight.

Nicholas clutched his chest as he walked back to the room.

He felt heartbroken at the sight of his trashed room.

Nicholas initially thought that Katherine was easy to bully.

However, she turned out to be quite strong and intimidating.

And now that Nicholas tried to mess with a person such as Katherine, he had to endure the chaos that
it would bring.

The traffic wasn't that heavy, and the road was very quiet.

It was almost one o'clock in the morning when Katherine and Zack left the Walker family's villa.

Katherine finally collected herself and calmed down after leaving the Walker family villa.

"Why didn't you try to stop me?" Katherine asked Zack, who was focused on driving.

Zack turned to her and asked, "Why should I stop you?"

Katherine looked at him with her eyebrows raised and mouth slightly open.She then turned to lean her
head against the window and admired the scenery outside instead.She felt as if the place was a bit
familiar and strange.

The car finally stopped after driving for twenty minutes.



They stopped before the place where Katherine lived.

Katherine opened her eyes and unfastened her seatbelt immediately.She felt a little dizzy and sleepy.

"Thank you," she muttered.

It was already one-thirty in the morning.

It has been a long time since Katherine last stayed up this late, so she yawned constantly.

Katherine saw that Zack was watching her as she stopped yawning, so she dropped her hand that
covered her mouth to her lap.

The corner of her eyes watered as she felt sleepy, and then she wiped them away.

She said softly, "I would rather think that we are strangers, Zack."

In their three years of marriage, Katherine expected Zack to be a good husband and that he would treat
her nicely, but he didn't.

Now that they were divorced, Zack wanted to get back together; however, she didn't want to anymore.

Zack's eyes lingered on her for a moment.

He then reached to open the storage box and grabbed a smaller box from inside it.

"Happy New Year, Katherine."

Even though New Year has already passed, and he was not the first one to say 'Happy New Year' to
her, he still said it to her anyway.

Katherine smiled wryly, "Happy New Year."



She only stared at the box that was in his hand and didn't take it at all.
