Memories Of The Night

Just then, Carl says, "By the way, Katrina, are you going to work tomorrow? The company is organizing a company outing tomorrow. If you don"t have work, you should go along and relax."

Katrina knows that Carl is well-intentioned. She is amazed at how well he treats her.

But she has other plans tomorrow.

Katrina smiles. "Thanks, Uncle Anderson. But I plan to visit my father tomorrow, so I can"t go."

When Katrina was eight, her father died while trying to save a man from drowning.

From time to time, Katrina buys her dad"s favorite drink and visits the cemetery to see him. During her visits, she confides in him and shares happy stories with him. Seeing the picture of her father on the gravestone makes her feel like he"s standing in front of her and showering her with kindness.

After being away for so long, she comes back after a lot of difficulties. She has to make time to visit her father. She doesn"t want him to worry and miss her after not seeing her for such a long time.

At Katrina"s response, Carl suddenly stops. A piece of meat falls from his chopsticks to the table.

"Uncle Anderson, what"s wrong?" Katrina asks when Carl suddenly freezes.

"Oh, nothing," he says, "I just thought about how I used to go out for drinks with your dad. I didn"t expect him to pa.s.s at such a young age. Whenever I think about it, I feel a little sad."

Katrina is moved to hear Carl"s words. Unexpectedly, there is someone else in the world besides her who still misses her father.

"Thanks to Uncle Anderson"s good relations.h.i.+p with my father, I am well cared for. If he were alive, my father would be extremely grateful to you." Katrina beams at Carl.

After her father died and she was sent to an orphanage, Carl adopted her and provided a good life for her.

At the mention of the past, Carl"s expression subtly s.h.i.+fts. He quickly changes the topic and helps Katrina to more food. "Let"s not talk about such a sad topic. Come on, Katrina. Eat more food!"

After dinner, Katrina stays the night at the Anderson house.

Although Carl always tells her not to be so polite and to treat the house as her own home, Katrina doesn"t feel at home in this place. It"s a good place to sleep over occasionally, but she doesn"t feel comfortable living here for an extended period of time.

As soon as Katrina retires to her room in the evening, she locks all the doors and windows.

After getting stabbed in the foot, Samuel doesn"t dare come back to hara.s.s her.

As for Sophie...

Even though Sophie has been dissatisfied with her for a long time, she doesn"t dare come onto her because Carl is at home.

When Katrina wakes up the next day, only Winnie and Sophie are at home. Carl and Samuel left early to organize the company outing scheduled today.

As Katrina goes out of her room, she finds Winnie drinking tea on the sofa. She doesn"t see Sophie in the living room. The girl probably isn"t awake yet.

Katrina politely greets Winnie, "Good morning, Aunt Green."

As if she didn"t hear a thing, Winnie doesn"t even look up.

Katrina is used to Winnie"s indifference. Ignoring the snub, she says, "Aunt Green, I"ll go ahead now."

At that moment, Eva comes out of the kitchen. "Miss Miller, breakfast is ready. Why don"t you stay and have breakfast before leaving?"

Katrina quickly shakes her head. "No, thank you. Eva, I"ll leave now."

Winnie doesn"t look up at Katrina the entire time. She certainly doesn"t want to ask her to stay for breakfast.

Stepping out of the villa of Anderson"s family, Katrina breathes a sigh of relief and walks to the bus stop a few hundred meters away.

Perhaps because of the traffic jam caused by the morning rush hour, the buses are delayed.

Katrina is the only person waiting for the bus because all the people who live in this neighborhood are either rich or influential. If they need to go out, they can just drive their own cars.

After waiting for a long time, the bus still hasn"t arrived. However, a BMW car slowly stops in front of her.

Sophie?

What is she stopping here for?

Katrina is surprised when Sophie opens the door and steps out.

She"s definitely not stupid enough to think that Sophie would be kind enough to offer her a ride when the bus is late.

From her grim face, Katrina a.s.sumes that she came to bully her.

In a blink of an eye, Sophie is in front of Katrina.

Before Katrina can speak, Sophie raises her arm and heavily slaps her face with a glare. "Katrina, you b.i.t.c.h! You promised me that you would never contact Marcellus again. Why are you seducing him the moment you come back?"

Sophie wanted to slap Katrina the night before.

Marcellus treated Katrina with noticeable tenderness while paying no attention to her. He even bought her favorite phone and gave it to Katrina.

Humiliated, Sophie can"t wait to vent her anger out on Katrina.

Katrina doesn"t expect Sophie to slap her suddenly. Caught completely off guard, she receives the strike without getting the chance to evade it.

A handprint appears on her cheek, and she can feel the burning pain from being slapped sideways. Her long hair covers most of her face and hides her reaction.

Katrina is completely stunned by Sophie"s strike.

In the Anderson villa, Sophie never dared hit her, despite how much she hates her.

A few seconds later, Katrina snaps out of her daze.

Getting slapped for the first time, Katrina feels a surge of anger. Looking at Sophie"s elaborate, domineering, and overbearing face, Katrina really wants to slap her back.

But for Carl"s sake, she clenches her fist and forces herself to endure it in the end.

Katrina looks at Sophie and says with a low and sharp voice, "Sophie, I have given you for four years, and you still haven"t gotten Marcellus"s heart. Even if you have forty years, Marcellus won"t like you back."

Sophie is outraged at Katrina"s words.

Yes, despite all her efforts, Marcellus still doesn"t give her a second glance. But without doing anything, Katrina can easily gain Marcellus"s concern and affections.

The fact makes Sophie hate Katrina even more.

At that moment, Sophie"s pristinely made-up face suddenly becomes ferocious and terrible. She screams at Katrina and rushes to her, "Katrina! You s.l.u.t! I"ll kill you!"
