Chapter 272

When Katherine insisted on pursuing the matter of Amelia and Carrick, Carrick's wife called Atty.

Parson, expressing how she wished to meet Katherine and settle the case as quietly as possible.

After all, according to her, since they were family, it wasn’t necessary to make things more
embarrassing.

Katherine found it extremely amusing.

When Carrick and Amelia accepted bribes to hype up negative news about Katherine and used a moral
kidnapping to coerce her, why didn’t they think Katherine was their blood-related family? They did not
even hesitate to accept Natalie's offer of 75,000 dollars.

Now that this matter had blown up, Katherine wasn't so easy to bully compared to when she was
young.

But now, Carrick's wife was playing the ‘affinity card’ on her?! What the heck was this woman thinking?
As if it would work on Katherine.

‘Tch, what wishful thinking!’ she pondered.

Katherine first texted Celine: [Don't worry about it.]

Then, she put down her phone and planned to make a simple dinner.

Because Liam took Katherine home, her car was parked at Future Technology's parking lot.

The next day, Katherine deliberately woke up half an hour earlier than usual, worried that getting a cab
might be difficult for her.



However, just as Katherine left the villa, she immediately saw Liam's car parked on the roadside.

Seeing Katherine, Liam immediately honked the horn to get her attention and said through the half-
open window, "Get in the car.I'll drive you to the company."

With her brows slightly arched, Katherine walked towards his car, folded her umbrella, and after she sat
in the passenger seat, she asked, "What brings you here, Mr.Smith?"

Liam turned to her and asked back, "Didn't I say I'd drive you to work the next day?"

Katherine chuckled.

"I thought you were just joking."

She didn't really expect Liam to really do what he had said.

Liam cocked his head, and as if he was in great pain, he sighed.

"Well, I didn’t have the heart to allow such a lovely lady like you to ride the bus to work!"

"Thank you." Katherine answered casually.

Still, she didn't believe a word that came out of Liam's mouth.

Liam was famous for having more girlfriends than friends.

Upon hearing Liam speak such sweet nonsense to her, Katherine got to admit that he had a knack for
saying words that could capture the hearts of women.

Anyway, Katherine would be foolish if she would be easily swayed by him.

Liam smiled and asked, "Did you have your breakfast?"



Katherine politely replied, "Yes, I have.How about you, Mr.Smith?"

Liam straightforwardly answered, "I woke up a little late, so I haven't."

Katherine felt a little embarrassed, thinking that she was causing inconvenience to him.

In the end, she kindly said to him as she pointed, "If you turn left from that junction and drive ahead for
three hundred meters, you will see a cafe where you can have your breakfast."

Liam lightly answered, "Okay."

Then, he gave her a sidelong glance, noticing that she was in good spirits today.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Katherine nodded lightheartedly.

"Yes, thankfully."

Liam smiled widely and remarked, "No wonder.I can tell you're looking a lot better today."

Katherine just smiled when she heard his compliments.

It was still early when Katherine arrived at Future Technology's Building since she left home ahead of
her usual schedule.

After Liam dropped her at the entrance, he drove straight away.

Seeing the car's retreating figure, Katherine breathed a sigh of relief.

Katherine was quite concerned that Liam had other reasons when approaching her.

After all, she didn't want to make things difficult and awkward for him.



Katherine seldom came to work at eight o'clock in the morning.

As of now, she was the only one in the office, so she decided to review the documents for a while
before the employees arrived.

As time passed by, all employees that had seen Katherine were definitely surprised to see her
presence so early in the morning.

Katherine looked amused upon seeing the expression on Celine's assistant's face.

She raised an eyebrow at her.

"Yes, you're not mistaken.It's me."

Celine’s assistant had a shocked expression on her face and hastily greeted her, "Miss Wilson."

Katherine smiled and nodded.

"Once Celine arrives, tell her to come and find me." Celine’s assistant replied, "All right, Miss Wilson."

On the day of Liam's party, Katherine and Rhy had a meeting and agreed that Katherine would invest
an additional $2,250,000 to the RY Company.

In exchange, Rhy and other shareholders would then transfer a total of 15% shares to Katherine.

Katherine now had 35% shares in her hands, including the 20% she owned previously.

Thus, making her one of the biggest shareholders, as her shares were equal to the company’s founder,
Rhy.

Katherine was still extremely pleased with this 15% additional shares, so her mood was quite good the
whole day.



In the end, Katherine no longer objected to attending the party that she had previously refused to
attend.
