Katrina doesn"t catch the following conversation.However, an important piece of information is captured.
Anderson"s Real Estate Enterprise is now struggling and heavily indebted.
Since she broke away from Anderson"s family, she has never paid attention to the news of them.
Carl Anderson spent his whole life in this company. She can"t expect that, for such a period of time...
Anderson"s Real Estate Enterprise goes down like this.
But it"s reasonable.
The company handed over to Samuel, such a playboy who wastes time every day, can"t develop at all. It"s only a matter of time before the company declines.
Although she feels a little pity when she thinks of the past, now that her relations.h.i.+p with them has been completely cut off, what they"ve encountered has nothing to do with her.
Afraid that Randy has waited for a long time, Katrina hurries to check out at the cas.h.i.+er"s desk with what she is holding.
As soon as Katrina and Randy come home with what they bought, one of the servants comes up and says, "Miss. Miller, a middle-aged woman, came to you just now and said that she knows you and gets along well with you. It may not be good for her waiting outside, so I let her in."
"A middle-aged woman?"
Katrina is slightly dismayed at the servant"s words.
Since she became pregnant, apart from caring for her small family, she has little contact with the outside world. When does she get along well with a middle-aged woman?
Perhaps that"s her mother"s best friend, Carly?
No, Carly cares herself so well that she should not be called a middle-aged woman. She should be called a lady anyway.
"Where is she?"
Katrina takes off her bag and hangs it on the shelf beside her. She looks into the living room.
The servant looks back and panics. "She was just here."
"She said she wanted to visit around. I warned her not to move around at will, especially upstairs. It"s your room..."
As the servant says, she goes around looking for the woman.
Katrina looks upstairs...
She suddenly thinks of the baby in the room, immediately increasing vigilance.
Whoever comes, she can"t put her baby in danger.
She must go upstairs now.
Katrina rushed upstairs quickly.
When she runs to the door of their room, she sees a strange figure in it, surrounding the small crib, and tries to reach out to hold the baby in the bed.
At that moment, Katrina raises her whole heart.
Out of the protection of a mother for her child, she shouts angrily, "What are you doing?"
Then she rushes in regardless of anything.
Katrina shouts angrily and then the middle-aged woman finally turns around.
It"s at this moment that Katrina suddenly recognizes that the woman in front of her is Winnie Green.
The moment she sees Winnie, Katrina shows a face of surprise.
Ever since she broke up with Anderson"s family, she has never thought of having any contact with them.
And she never thought Winnie would come to see her.
Without the host"s consent, she impolitely breaks into the bedroom and even tries to take her baby...
At that moment, Katrina has an unexplained feeling of disgust, and her tone isn"t very gentle, "What are you coming for?"
Seeing Katrina holding her baby in her arms on the alert, Winnie keeps smiling, "Katrina, don"t be nervous. I just heard that you"d had a baby. I just wanted to come and see you and the baby. Your baby is so cute that I didn"t hold back for a moment and wanted to hold him."
When she was at their house, she was used to Winnie"s indifference and harshness. This is the first time Katrina sees Winnie speak to her in this tone.
Smile on the face and flattery in the tone really make her uncomfortable.
Just then, the servant and Randy follow in.
The servant looks at Winnie in surprise since she just broke into Katrina"s room, and says with a panicked face, "I told you don"t walk around! This is Miss. Miller"s bedroom! You can"t get in without permission!"
Winnie refutes with no evasion, "Katrina lived in our house for so many years before. She"s almost my own daughter! I certainly can come to see my grandson."
Her words silence the servant, and the servant doesn"t know how to react.
Hearing her answers, Katrina feels a burst of disgust.
Her own daughter?
She had never thought of her as a daughter at home before.
She"d better call her the enemy!
She was always cynical about her and even slapped her in the face of her colleagues when she wronged Carl and Katrina for an improper relations.h.i.+p.
Even when Carl died, she went to see him for the last time...
Winnie threw her flowers into the rubbish can just after she left.
Everything is still visible.
Now, how can Winnie call her as her own daughter?
Katrina doesn"t want to deal with her hypocritical face in front of the baby.
Katrina asks the servant, "Take care of the baby."
After the servant takes over the baby, Katrina looks at Winnie standing in front of her and says, "Aunt Winnie, let"s go downstairs if you have anything to say?"
She can"t stand that a woman she dislikes broke into her room.
She would call her "Aunt Winnie" instead of asking her to get out of here because she still appreciates what Anderson"s given her.
Katrina takes the lead in turning around and walking downstairs, followed by Winnie.
Winnie keeps talking when they walk downstairs, "Katrina, why didn"t you inform us of your engagement? We didn"t know such a big thing until we watched the news!"
Hearing her "greeting," Katrina feels even more disgusted.
Inform her?
Why should she inform someone she dislikes?
They"ve cut everything off, haven"t they?
What does it have to do with them about her engagement?
When they come to the living room, Katrina sits on the sofa casually with arms crossing, and asks impatiently, "Sit down. Just say, what do you want?"
She"s too tired to listen to her pretended greetings and has no time for her to beat around the bush. If she has anything to say, just say it plainly.
Winnie sits down on the sofa, and speaks with a praying face, "Katrina I have come from so far to visit you indeed for something. I want to ask for your help."
"Katrina, your brother"s company... has already borrowed billions of loans for the project. But now the capital chain is broken, and the bank asks us to pay back, along with the project uncompleted. We are anxious every day and don"t know what to do. Katrina, you are so rich now. Can you help your brother through this difficult time? I beg you!"
