Chapter 269

Zack was still standing by the side as he watched Katherine leave.

Sean felt a little disappointed as he also observed.

"Are you sure that you're willing to waste such a good opportunity, Zack?"

Zack turned to him with a grim face and a cold gaze.

The corner of his mouth twitched as he muttered, "Don't say that, Sean."

Just now, Sean wanted to drive Zack out of the poker room because he thought Zack bothered him.

Sean suddenly felt guilty and muttered, "I mean..."

Sean then suddenly chuckled.

Zack snorted and started to turn around to leave when he suddenly saw a reflection of light on the
ground.

Zack paused and leaned down.He saw the diamond stud that was shining on the carpet.

Zack picked up the diamond stud and observed it for a while.

He took his handkerchief from the pocket and then wrapped the diamond carefully.

Then, he returned the handkerchief.

It was Katherine's diamond stud earring.

Back at her home, when Katherine took a shower, she started to take off her earrings and found that
the one on her right ear was gone.She couldn't help but frown at the discovery.



Alice designed the earrings she wore as a birthday present for her.

Her name was engraved on the earrings; she saw it with a magnifying glass.

The left piece had the letter "K," and the right had "W" on it.

The initials for her name, Katherine Wilson.

Katherine had already looked everywhere today, and she still hadn't had any clue as to where her
earrings fell.

Moreover, it was such a small earring that she wouldn't be able to find it even if she knew where it fell.

Katherine did not sleep well because of her missing earring.She had a nightmare.

Her head was soaked with sweat when she tried to wake up.

Katherine thought that she had slept for a long time, but when she looked at the time, she found that
only two hours had passed by.

Katherine turned the lampshade on, got up, and then grabbed a glass of water.She felt a little cold after
she took a sip.

"Alexa, boil some water, please."

"Yes, Master," the Al answered.

After a couple of moments, she went back to bed and fell asleep.

Throughout the night, she didn't have any dreams at all.

The sky outside was already bright as soon as she woke up.



The curtains were slightly opened, and streaks of light brightened the room.

Katherine narrowed her eyes because of the brightness.

Katherine had an early meeting today.

The meeting started at nine o'clock, and it lasted for two hours.

Then, the meeting ended at eleven o'clock.

Katherine walked out of the meeting room and started walking towards Celine.

She asked, "How has the Quest Company been?"

Celine briefly explained the company’s situation, and Katherine nodded as she finished.

"Pick a time next week and help me make an appointment with Rhy."

It was already time for them to talk about the second round of their investment.

"Okay, Ms.Wilson," Celine answered.

Katherine did not sleep well last night, and all she wanted was to go back to sleep.She quickly nodded
and said, "I'll be leaving first."

"Okay." Celine nodded slightly and smiled.

Celine had been very busy lately, so Katherine didn't bother sending her off.

Katherine had just walked out of the company when she heard a voice calling her behind.



Katherine turned her head and then saw a man walking towards her.He held a black umbrella and
looked at her meaningfully.

Katherine had an excellent memory and quickly recognized the man, Liam.

"Mr.Smith?" she asked as she raised her brows at him.

He walked over to her quickly.Liam looked down at her and then said, "Long time no see, Katherine."

"It really has been a long time," Katherine answered.

The last time that they met was two years ago, so it really had been a long time since they saw each
other.

"My secretary said that your secretary rejected my invitation a few days ago," Liam said.

He tilted his head to the side and asked, "Why did you reject my invitation? Do you think that I wasn't
embarrassed enough?"

Katherine knew that Liam had always been a chaotic person at first glance.She was not at all surprised
that she heard this from his mouth.

Katherine smiled subtly and then calmly said, "Mr.Smith, you misunderstood the situation.It's just that I
haven't participated in parties like that before.You know who Summer is.A lot of people in the industry
don't know about her."

Liam raised his eyebrow at her.

"In that case, I was fortunate enough to know about her because of my father."

“Mr.Smith, you must be joking," Katherine replied as she chuckled.
