Chapter 243

Hearing how insistent Zack was, the smile on Katherine's face gradually faded as she looked at him.

"You don't have to do this, actually." She could do it herself, so she didn't need anyone's assistance.

"I'm just trying to help you" Zack continued to insist.

But he could sense Katherine's indifference after he said that, so he only pursed his thin lips, feeling
helpless.

She seemed to have built a high and thick wall between them a long time ago and had already moved
on.

That was the reason why Zack couldn't find a way back into her heart in the eight months that had
passed since they'd split up.

It seemed that if she said that she didn't love you anymore, it was undoubtedly true.

With that realization, Zack's heart suddenly ached as if it had been stabbed by something sharp.

Due to his regret over his past decisions, he couldn't help but sulk.

He intensely looked up at Katherine, not wanting to give up on her.He admitted that he didn't know
Katherine that well.

However, during the months they spent together after their divorce, he discovered that she was not as
hard-hearted as he had assumed.

It was just that the wall she had built was too thick and needed to be overcome bit by bit.

He had been with her for three years, so eight months was just nothing.



Moreover, he could not let her go now.

"But I don't want your help” Katherine straightforwardly said.

Both of them were determined, making the atmosphere somewhat awkward.

But nothing could persuade Zack and Katherine to surrender.

Zack could let Katherine win in any other situation, but not in this one.

Never! He would make sure of it, no matter what! Katherine, on the other hand, didn't really want to
force out anything.

She also didn't want to quarrel with Zack as this would indeed affect her mood, which she didn’t want to
happen.

No one dared to speak for about five seconds.But Katherine shifted slightly as the necklace popped up
in her mind, so she brought it up.

"How much did you spend on the bracelet, by the way?"

Zack looked at her first and then answered, "Just the original price"

Katherine knew that her grandmother didn't sell it at its original price.

So, she smiled and said, "Can you lend me your phone?"

Without any hesitation, Zack immediately took his phone from his pocket and handed it to her.

But as Katherine opened it, the lock screen appeared.

"Password?"



"0716” Zack casually said as if it were nothing.

Katherine's thumb paused for a moment after hearing that.

‘That's my birthday.July 16th” she thought.

But she just ignored it and typed the numbers.

Just as she did, the lock was opened.

She directly tapped the PayPal application and opened the receipt.

Then, she took out her phone, went to her PayPal account, and transferred around 45,000 dollars to
his account.

Just as Katherine grabbed his phone, Zack suddenly remembered the last time she took it and left him
in the suburbs, making his eyebrows twitch for a while before he nervously called out, "Katherine?"

However, Katherine had already finished her goal in less than seven or eight seconds, so she had put
his phone back in front of him.

"We're finished now.You can leave.I won't walk you out anymore.I have some work to do later"

Katherine said, ending their discussion.

At this point, Zack realized that staying any longer would only irritate her.So, he picked up his phone,
but not before remembering their meeting with Nelson.

"About the meeting with Nelson, when will you be free?"



Wanting Zack to leave, Katherine just surrendered, saying, "You made an appointment tomorrow night,
right? Then tomorrow night.”

"All right, I'll pick you up then"

Zack said, hoping that she would let him.

Unfortunately, Katherine refused, "No need to worry.I'll go there by myself"

Zack sensed that it was better to stop at that point, so he simply agreed, "Okay, then.See you
tomorrow."

"Take care, Mr.Colburn” Katherine said as she stood up.

Zack then walked to the door but looked back at her first.

He actually wanted to say something, but he hesitated and ended up saying nothing.

After giving her an intense look, he finally walked out of the door.

As soon as he did, Katherine shut the door and returned inside.

Just as she walked up to the second floor, he heard a car engine outside, implying Zack was now
leaving.

Katherine raised her eyebrows and walked to the balcony.She watched as the black car slowly drove
away.She then averted her gaze and proceeded to the third floor in the study room to prepare for the
virtual conference.

The live broadcast lasted for two days before it finally subsided.

Discovering that Katherine was determined to sue them, panic enveloped Amelia's body.



She considered going to see her granddaughter to make amends.

However, when Atty.Parson relayed this information to Katherine, she refused.

After Zack left that day, Katherine asked Celine to cancel her dinner reservation with Nelson.
