Chapter 120
Katie was at a loss for words, obviously embarrassed.
“What’s wrong? Do you remember it now?” Howard glanced at his watch and reminded. “I have other matters to attend to. Please escortUpton back immediately.
Yes. Alt. Lawson”
Initially, Katie shrunk back in guilt. However, seeing him insist on making her leave, she stubbornly argued, “If you wantto leave, fine. But I must take the other women in your
ansion with me!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHoward’s expression turned frosty, and his patience wore thin. “There are no other people, let alone women, in my mansion.”
Katie scoffed. “What about Hannah, Jennifer’s sister, the heiress of the Moore family? Is she here? I must take her today!
“Who’s Hannah? I’ve never seen her before. Show your proof before accusing me.” Howard’s tone dripped with cynicism as he motioned for more guards to enter, “Escort them away.”
“I have every right to take away other women from my future husband’s house! Open the door now!”
“Katie, my patience has its limits,” Howard warned.
“No matter what you say today, I’m taking Hannah with me! There’s no negotiating on this matter!”
Katie raised her head defiantly, showing a strong stance for the first time.
Howard sneered, “Whether there’s any negotiation isn’t up to you. If you don’t leave, I don’t mind calling off the engagement.”
Katie stepped back in shock. Livid, she started yelling hysterically, “What?! You’re willing to break off the engagement because of that woman in the room?! Don’t even dream about it! Even without the Lawson family, the Upton family has status and influence in Svelton, and you can’t end the engagement just because you want to!”
“Let’s see about that,” Howard said and called Yuri.
“What have I done wrong for you to be so heartless?” Tears welled up in Katie’s eyes, and she cried, “Is it all for Sheena? She’s divorced, has no background, and has no power. What good can she bring you? Are you really so infatuated with her?”
“You’re incomparable to her. Don’t humiliate yourself.”
“Since that’s the case, I have sbad news for you.” Katie’s hatred was palpable, and a gleam of satisfaction flashed in her eyes as she pretended to lament. “That bitch had a fatal accident on her flight last night. Isn’t it surprising?”
Katie burst into laughter, relishing Howard’s gradually shocked expression. Her heart filled with delight before adding, “What a shame. The Sheena you treasured is already dead!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHoward could not believe it, and his face turned pale. “Impossible.”
“Whether you believe it or not, the facts are right in front of you.”
Seeing the pain in his expression, Katie felt a strange mix of heartache and jealousy.
Why did that bitch get all of his affection? Even though Sheena was dead, she still could not make Howard love her.
“Even if you want to break off the engagement today, I’m still taking Hannah with me!”
Suddenly, the sound of high heels tapping the floor echoed through the room, and a
nonchalant yet powerful female voice resounded from downstairs.
“I heard someone spreading rumors about my death. Now that I know it’s Ms. Upton, I’m not surprised at all to hear all the screaming while coming in.”
