"Queenie, watch your..."
Sean wanted to warn Queenie, but she had already left before finishing his sentence.
He cast a glance at Queenie, who had already walked far away.
He contemplated whether he would call Zack or not, but he pulled out his phone anyway.
Sean had no choice.
He was, after all, a good friend.
On the other hand, Zack did not consider his kindness a good thing.
He hung up the phone call after call.
Sean realized and felt that Zack would not pick up his phone.
So, he had to send a private message and then decided to return to the dinner table.
When he returned, the people at the dinner table were still calm.
Sean thought he'd be safe tonight, but he had no idea he'd be used to start a fight and a simmering
tension.
Beatrice introduced him to Katherine as soon as Sean took his seat, saying, "Katherine, this is my
nephew, Sean."
When Beatrice finished speaking, Queenie, seated at the side, rudely complained.
"Mom, why are you wasting your energy? We know Zack and Sean's connection.How can she not
know him?"
Queenie's words were odd.
Nevertheless, Katherine sat there with the same calm expression on her face.
"Miss Johnston is right.I know Sean, Mrs.Johnrson’’ she said.
Beatrice gave Queenie a warning look, but Queenie refused to budge.
"Why are you staring at me like that, Mom? I didn't say anything wrong, and who isn't aware of Miss
Wilson and Zack's divorce?"
Beatrice was keen on saving Anthony's face as her adopted son.
Whether she liked Katherine or not, it was a different matter.
Anthony brought Katherine over to eat, and Queenie's words embarrassed Katherine.
So, Beatrice would naturally not tolerate it.
"Do you want to eat or not? If not, go back to your room.You talk so much.Why haven't I seen you
being interviewed for a job?" she said, giving Queenie a warning look for the second time.
Queenie was abashed and frightened by her mother's words that she stopped talking about Katherine.
Anthony understood the situation a little.
"Should I take you away?" he whispered.
Katherine smiled as she tilted her head and looked at him.
"No, I'm fine.It's nothing.This was nothing compared to what she had gone through before.Her
sufferings were incomparable.Even if Queenie continued to lowkey rile her up and embarrass her”
Katherine had plenty of ways to avoid making a fuss to enrage her.
Katherine then glanced at Beatrice and confidently said, "Miss Johnston is correct.Everyone is aware
of my divorce from Zack.However, I believe the Jordan family does not have specific requirements or
qualities to prohibit Anthony from marrying a divorced woman, right?"
‘’Yes, regardless of how much Queenie complained and how Beatrice strongly disliked me, it won't be a
big deal.”
Anthony is a family member of the Jordan's, not the Johnston's, anyway, Katherine thought to herself.
Beatrice's face stiffened, but she quickly responded with a smile.
"Katherine, don't mind her.She can't find a job.So, after being at home for a long time, her temperament
turned like this.But this is just how she usually treats people, not just you.Eat! Come on, let's eat.This is
a lobster I especially requested from Australia.Try it and see if you like it.
Queenie wasn't a knucklehead.
She heard Katherine's words.
She hummed a few times as she looked down, afraid to say anything else.
Sean was taken aback.
He used to think Katherine was calculating, a material girl, and a bitch who liked to play the role of a
meek and innocent lady.
Tonight, she proved him completely wrong.
Today was the first time he'd seen Katherine so straightforward.
‘‘I missed it! I would have recorded Katherine's words if I had known she would be like this” Sean
thought wickedly to himself.
"Thank you, Mrs.Johnston"
Katherine politely thanked her, but she did not even eat some of the lobster meat she had picked.
It wasn't that Beatrice liked Katherine now.
She was considered Anthony's elder as his godmother, and Katherine had addressed her as
"Mrs.Johnston" when she walked in.
So, she had to act like a respectable elder.
‘‘But, if this is how Katherine thinks and behaves...could it be she still didn't like Anthony enough?’’
Beatrice thought.
Beatrice's facial expression suddenly became down.
This was how people were.
You'd think that if they were interested, like how Katherine was in a relationship with Anthony, they'd
want something in return.
Meanwhile, if they were uninterested, they would think they didn't know what was best for them.
This was Beatrice's type of thinking.
It could be said that whether Katherine genuinely liked Anthony or not, she didn't like it.
She was unhappy with their relationship.
Nevertheless, it was an incredibly filling dinner.
The dining table had a lot of delicious food, and through this, Beatrice regarded Anthony as her own
son.
Meanwhile, the little drama before the dinner did not faze Katherine at all.
After dinner, they sat on the sofa in the living room to rest.
At this moment, Anthony asked Katherine if she needed to leave early, but she refused.
She didn't want to offend the Johnston family, but she didn't want Anthony to have a strained
relationship with the Lewis family too.
Anthony observed that Katherine was comfortable around the place, so he didn't push her to leave.
He restrained himself, although he was the one who wanted to go.
Katherine, Beatrice, and Queenie were not on good terms.
Anthony witnessed it, but he had no idea what had happened or why things were the way they were.
