As soon as she spoke, Chloe turned her eyes to Katherine.
She remembered the matter about the court summons, and her expression turned sour.
"Sister-in-law, oh, I forgot, you are not my sister-in-law anymore.You and my brother have divorced
already.So, what are you doing here?"
Her gaze was full of contempt as she spoke hatefully.
Katherine only looked at her calmly, "Where is my diploma?" she asked.
If the diploma she had was fake, she was sure that either Victoria or Chloe hid it.
A trace of unease flashed across Chloe's face, but it faded quickly.
"What are you talking about? It's your diploma that was missing.So why are you asking me for it?"
she scoffed and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
Katherine was certain that Chloe knew where her real diploma was just by her reaction.
She didn't want to waste time anymore and spoke straight to the point.
"If you don't hand it over, then I could only call the police."
Chloe's eyes blazed with anger, and she yelled, "I don't know what you are talking about.Call the police
then!"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the stairs.
"Take it out!"
When she heard Zack's voice, Chloe was a little shocked, but she quickly defended herself.
"Zack, what should I take out? I didn't take her diploma!"
An aggrieved expression on her face flickered as if she was wronged, but Zack saw past her facade.
Zack stared at Chloe, his eyes fierce as if they wanted to pierce her soul.
"I saw you took it.I will give you five minutes to give her graduation certificate!" he demanded.
Chloe stiffened at his booming voice and nervously bit her lips.
She did not expect Zack to help Katherine, and she didn't think that he also knew that the real diploma
was in her hands.
Zack only said a few words, but Chloe was already afraid.
Without her brother backing her up, she could not be stubborn.
She gave Katherine a fierce glare before she turned back and ran upstairs to grab the graduation
certificate.
Shortly after, Chloe returned to the living room while holding a document.
"Hey, who cares? You clearly forgot to take it away!"
Chloe raised her hand and was about to throw it over, but when her eyes met her brother's stern and
harsh gaze, she froze.
Her hands trembled slightly when she reluctantly handed the diploma to Katherine.
Katherine took the diploma and checked it thoroughly.
She scanned everything from the top until to its official seal.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the document, she turned around and walked away
without saying anything.
Before she left, she glanced at Zack.
Her eyes were arrogant and cold.
Zack frowned, clearly unhappy with Katherine's standoffish behavior.
He gave her a hint about her fake diploma, and he rushed back from the company to help her get it
back.
Then, after all the fuss, this was how she would treat him? She just walked away like it was not a big
deal! There was no thank you at all? Then, she was being ungrateful! Zack rubbed his face in
annoyance and chased after her.
He reached out his hand and blocked Katherine from opening the car.
"This matter has nothing to do with me” he explained.
Katherine looked at him impassively.
"It doesn't mean anything to me.’ She tried pushing his hand away, but he prevailed.
Zack's face darkened.
His mouth was set in a hard line and his eyebrows furrowed.
Then, he seized her wrist and asked her, "Did you really love me?"
Katherine was taken aback by his question.
She huffed and gave him a sarcastic laugh.
"Since you doubt that I loved you, then I didn't"
A trace of fury was seen in her eyes.
With that, she shoved his hand away and pulled open the door.
Katherine climbed in and slammed the door shut.
Zack stood there and watched her slowly drive away.
He clenched his fists in anger, and his face became colder.
He knew it.
Katherine was only doing it for his money! The frustration that he felt had reached its peak.
Zack harshly pulled on his tie and returned to the villa with a gloomy face.
His gait was stiff, and his jaw clenched in vexation.
Chloe sat on the couch while having clam chowder.
Her hands shook when she saw her brother come in.
She started to feel nervous when she observed that Zack was not in a good mood.
Zack took long strides and stood in front of her.
He stared down at Chloe, saying, "If you provoke her again, don't blame me for being hateful towards
you."
When Zack said this, his expression was so bad as if he wanted to kill her.
Chloe was frightened, and the color was drained out of her face.
She sat there in a stupor as she stared at her brother's back.
She didn't dare to talk back in fear of aggravating his anger.
Chloe only came to her senses when she heard a car engine starting.
She hurriedly put down the bowl on the table in front of her and stood up.
Chloe walked towards the window and saw Zack drive out of their villa.
Only then did she let out a sigh of relief as the car was finally out of her sight.
‘‘What is going on? When did he care about how we treated Katherine?’’
‘‘Can it be that he really like Katherine?’’
When she thought of that, Chloe's entire face darkened.She was at a loss on how to react if that was
true.
