At his words, the flirtatious glint in Katherine's eyes turned cold, and the playful smile on her lips curled
downwards in a frown.
She straightened up and bored her eyes at the man in front of her.
"So what? Does it have anything to do with you?" she retorted.
Her words seemed to hit a sore spot in Zack's heart.
With his eyebrows knitted together, he snorted in response and abruptly changed the topic.
"Did you forget your diploma at my house?"Katherine pursed her lips at his question. Confusion flashed
in her eyes.
"No, I took it with me."
His gaze was unfathomable as he stared at her for a moment.
"Then you should go back and check if your diploma is real."
After he spoke, Zack made his way to the black car that had already been waiting for him.
Aidan followed suit and also passed by her.
He politely greeted Katherine, his face somewhat guilty as he followed Zack to his car.
She turned around, and her eyes followed Zack as he climbed into the car.
She waited for their car to drive away before getting into her Ferrari.
Katherine took out her diploma and checked it when she returned to her villa.
Her eyes narrowed as she continued to scan the certificate.
She found some suspicious signs that told her that it was not genuine.
If Zack didn't mention it, she would not realize that her diploma was a fake one.
‘Who did this?’ Katherine didn't even need to think twice to know the perpetrator.
She drove directly to the Colburn’s residence.
It had been five months since she left this place, and Katherine was surprisingly calm when she
arrived.
The red Ferrari stopped at the door of the villa.
Katherine got out of the car and closed the door.
Her boots clicked against the ground as she walked to the front door of the mansion.
Then, she finally rang the doorbell and waited.
The front door was pulled open, and the Colburn family butler came out.
He was stunned when he saw Katherine standing outside.
"Miss Katherine?"
She nodded as to confirm his thoughts.
"Yes, please open the door and let me in.I have some business with the Colburn's"
Freddie used to look down on Katherine, but now he felt even more disdain for her.
How could she shamelessly come back after getting a divorce? Upon hearing her words, the butler
gave a sarcastic smile.
"I apologize, Miss Katherine, but both Madam Victoria and Miss Chloe are sleeping, so we cannot
accept guests right now.You can come back at another time."
He denied her entry.
A hint of ridicule flashed in his eyes.
However, Katherine wasn't fazed at all.
"In that case, I can only call the police."
She pulled out her phone from the bag and opened its dial screen.
Her fingers were ready to type the actual number to call the police.
The butler was alarmed when he heard that she intended to call the police.
"Then wait a moment.I'll go ask Madam Colburn"
How could she not know that the butler was planning to ditch her?
"Freddie, you only have three seconds to open the door.If you don't, then I'll call the police"
She gave him a meaningful smile, and she started tapping on her phone screen.
Then, she raised her phone and showed the screen to the butler.
The hotline number of the police had been keyed on her dial screen, and it served as proof that she
wasn't lying.
It wasn't just a mere scare.
She would really call the police.
Freddie's face turned pale, and beads of sweat started to appear on his forehead.
He turned around and hurriedly pulled open the door.
Katherine glanced at him, her lips slightly curled up in a smirk.
"Then I need to trouble you, Freddie, to inform your madam to come down and see me"
In the past, every time that Freddie scolded Katherine, she wouldn't talk back and stay docile like a little
lamb.
But now, every word that came out from her mouth was like a thorn, and it rendered him speechless.
His expression was awful, and he tried his best to restrain his emotions because he didn't dare to
provoke the current Katherine.
He felt that Katherine seemed to have transformed into a new person.
She was completely different from the meek Katherine from before.
"Please wait a moment."
He shot her an apprehensive glance as he gestured for her to enter.
After he said that, he immediately went upstairs.
Katherine made her way inside, and her eyes roamed around.
She spent many years in the Colburn family villa that she was already too familiar with.
Katherine thought that she would never step into this place again, but she did not expect to come again
after five months.
She also went upstairs and decided to wait in the living room.
After a while, she heard some movement coming from the third floor.
At this time, all the servants were resting, and the villa was silent.
The only sound that could be heard was Chloe coming downstairs, and it was particularly loud due to
the quietness of the place.
The dull sounds of Chloe's slippers echoed across the room, and even before she reached the last
step, she began to shout.
"What is she doing here? Freddie, what's wrong with you? We don't welcome undistinguished people in
this house."
