Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 12 

Alice had to admit that Katherine had a knack when it came to manipulating people's hearts.

Aidan had personally brought Q City's Ministry of Justice over.

He threatened to request a court summon the next day if Silverlight Entertainment failed to remove the posts and make a public apology.

Alice only wanted to help Katherine.

She wanted to teach Natalie and Zack a lesson, Natalie for embarrassing Katherine and Zack for making Katherine suffer for three years worth of hell in their marriage.

She had been in the entertainment industry for nearly ten years.

What Alice had done was the usual ploy in social media and the internet.

It was what she would have done if she was fighting for her real family.

Besides, it wasn't like Zack had been filial with Katherine during their three years of marriage! Zack was also to blame for the photos taken.

'He was not completely innocent when the photo was taken: Alice thought.

Alice did not expect that Zack's secretary would be so bold as to bring with him a lawyer to negotiate.

She watched as the two lawyers negotiated in front of her.

As she did, Alice couldn't help but feel a particular fear that this would be the end of her career.

But Alice was a professional, and she refused to show any indication of backing down.

She held Aidan's gaze and sneered, "With all the things you have said, Mr.Hall.

You did fail to ask where we got the photos, right?"

Aidan didn't expect the change in the direction of the ‘I discussion, that he didn't react right away.

After a while, he asked reluctantly, "Who?"

"Who else could it be?" Katherine shrugged.

"I mean, ‘I other than Natalie? So you see, it doesn't matter if we & withdraw our statements! They were merely a copy sent by Natalie to Katherine.If you have time to ask us, wouldn't it be better to ask Natalie to delete hers instead?" Aidan hesitated.

The sudden information made him unable to decide how to proceed in resolving the problem.

However, he had been Zack's secretary for seven or eight years now.

At critical moments like these, he had always thought on his feet.

"Miss Alice, may I ask, what is your relationship with Miss Katherine?"

"That's none of your business!"

Aidan Hall left with the two lawyers.

Alice watched them walk away before she took off her sunglasses and patted her chest.

"That was scary!"

Helen, who was beside her, didn't even look.

"Please be more mindful.We don't want anyone seeing you like this."

"Helen, relax! No one else is here! Ah, my phone is ringing.It's Katherine! I have to give her a full report!"

The corner of Helen's mouth twitched in disapproval.

Still, she gently closed the door and left in a foul mood.

Alice thought that Katherine was calling to hear about the results.

She was about to brag when Katherine spoke.

She said with a faint voice, "Alice, withdraw the posts online.Remove them as soon as possible.Don't make it a trending topic.Zack and I are over.Let's end it here."

Alice was stunned.

"Is this a prank? Is someone threatening you right now?"

"Stop messing around, Alice.I'm serious, and honestly, I'm a little tired"

The voice indeed sounded tired.

Alice pursed her lips but still said reluctantly, "Alright, but don't worry.We will still have each other in the future.The days of being single are going to be wonderful!"

"What kind of days are going to be wonderful?"

Alice heard a low male voice behind her that made her stood still.

She slowly looked up and found Luke standing behind her.

She quickly lowered her head and said with a small voice, "I didn't say anything!"

As opposed to her confident self a while ago, Alice now looked like a meek rabbit.

On the other end, Katherine just smiled when she heard Luke's voice and hung up the phone.

She then turned around and went into the kitchen.

She planned to cook a sumptuous and delicious dinner to appease her injured little heart.

An hour later, Katherine finally gave up and decided to order takeout.

All the posts had been withdrawn.

The love triangle between Katherine, Natalie, and Zack was just reaching its climax when it came to an abrupt halt.

Zack ensured that the matter was all taken care of, and when evening came, things finally calmed down.

But that night, Zack had trouble sleeping.

When Aidan told him that the source of the photo was Natalie, for some reason, he couldn't stop thinking what Katherine said, "You think too highly of yourself."

He disregarded it at that time.

Zack thought that Katherine had only said it out of embarrassment.

But now that he knew the truth, Zack felt a little unsettled.

‘‘Forget it! I'll have a quick smoke and go to sleep”

Katherine kept a low profile after that day, and not a word was said about her again.It was as if she had disappeared.

Everyone speculated that Katherine sadly left, hurt and heartbroken.

Although all of it is true, Katherine, was in fact, only been touring around Europe.

She went skiing, bungee jumping, and gliding through the snow mountain around the country.It was the best time of her life!

"Katherine!"

Katherine had stayed for more than a month and planned to return in two days.

At that moment, she was holding the shopping list Alice gave her.Katherine was quite surprised when she heard a familiar voice.She looked around and found Alexander Reid approaching her.

He was one of the famous young actors of Silverlight Entertainment.

"Alex? What are you doing here?"

Alexander Reid was only twenty-one this year.

He was a young man with delicate features.

Narrow eyebrows, aquiline nose, and soft lips.

When he smiled, he showed off his canine teeth.

It somehow made him look cute.

"I'm enjoying my days off.Then Alice asked me to come and pick you up."

Katherine picked up and threw three lipsticks into the basket and looked at him with a ghost of a smile.

‘What is Alice up to this time?’ Alexander was not as thick-skinned as Tyler.

Whenever Katherine glanced at the younger man, his ears would turn red.

Suddenly, Alex raised his hand and grabbed a handful of hair.

"The movie I starred in last year will be coming out soon, so Alice asked me to pick you up to take the opportunity to hype up the movie!"

"You're very honest" Katherine chuckled and tore the other half of the list she was holding.

"Could you help me find these three bags?"

"Sure!" Alexander eagerly agreed.

Katherine was on the plane at eight o'clock the following day.

lt was three o'clock in the afternoon when she returned to the country.

She had just gotten off the plane with Alex when she saw some paparazzi taking photos of them together.

Alice must have arranged it.

They were forced to stay in the capital for eighty minutes before returning to Y City.

It was past eight o'clock in the evening when they returned to the city.

Alexander's agent had arranged for a car to send them back.

Alice requested Katherine to buy a lot of things, and she couldn't carry them all by herself.

Alexander was kind enough to help her carry the other suitcase inside the car.

Katherine ordered the intelligent home service robot.

"Make some hot water."

After changing into slippers, Katherine went to the kitchen to wash two cups.

She then poured warm water into the two cups and gave one to Alexander.

"Katherine, your home service robot is quite interesting” Katherine sat down on the sofa and raised her eyebrows as Alex stared at the robot.

"Do you like it? If you like one, you can ask Alice about it.’’ The boy seemed to be very interested in these things.

When Alexander heard this, his face immediately showed excitement.

"Is this made by Luke's company? I don't think there is any on the market!" Katherine nodded.

"Yes, the designs are being approved and patented as we speak.It should come out on the market at the end of the year.If you like it, tell Alice in advance."

"Can I?"

"Why not?"

"Thank you, Katherine’ Katherine drank a mouthful of water.

"Don't thank me” Alexander left after a short while.

After sending him off, Katherine filled her bathtub with water.

She took out her pajamas from her luggage and went to take a bath.

She was exhausted.

After the trip and the fifteen-hour flight, Katherine immediately fell asleep in the bathtub.

Unknowingly to her, social media was once again buzzing.

The current hot search ranking third place on Twitter was "Alexander Reid's mysterious girlfriend"

Zack was just finishing his work when he suddenly received a Telegram message from Sean.

The message contained a photo.

It crossed Zack's mind that Sean might have been really bored for him to send such a message.

Together with the picture was Sean's message, [Zack, your ex-wife is really amazing.How long has she been in a new relationship with a younger man?] Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Frowning, Zack stared at the photo.It was Alexander, "the present dream lover of most girls, holding a beautiful, mysterious girl."

The photo only showed a third of the "beautiful girlfriend's" face, but Zack had recognized her at a glance.

The so-called mysterious woman was Katherine.The woman he just divorced three months ago!
