Katherine couldn't handle how Alice was acting.
She drew her arm back from Alice's hold and said, "Alright, alright.Stop with the crying act.I'll promise
you what you want"
Katherine paused for a moment and suddenly remembered something.
She asked Alice, "Didn't Luke buy the estate you liked, Seaview Villa? Why do you still need to save
money?"
Alice beamed at her friend and explained, "Yeah, but that's the house I want.I should return the favor
and also buy him a house that he wants!"
Katherine regretted asking Alice about it.
She should've kept the question to herself.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be forced to sit and listen to Alice gushing about her love life.
All of a sudden, Katherine's phone was ringing.
Alice stole a glance at the phone's screen and noticed only a string of numbers.
She had no idea who was calling her friend.
Katherine also looked at the caller ID and slightly lifted her brows.
She wasn't familiar with the number at all.
She decided not to answer and immediately rejected the call.
Just as Katherine swiped at her phone, Alice wasted no time to gossip.
She winked at Katherine and teased, "I heard that you and Anthony went to his parent's house for
dinner.What happened? Is there something going on between the two of you?"
"Between the two of us?" Katherine smiled.
Before she could continue, the phone that she had just put away in her bag rang again.
"Nothing's going on"
She insisted while taking out her phone.
The caller ID was the same as the previous one.
If that number called her twice in a row, it should mean that they intended to talk to her.
Katherine waved the phone at Alice before tapping on the answer button.
She pressed the phone to her ear and asked, "Hello, this is Katherine.Who's calling?"
"It's me, Miss Wilson"
When Katherine heard the voice, she immediately recognized it as Queenie's.
She couldn't help but wonder why she called.
"Miss Johnston, what's the matter?"
On the other side of the phone, Queenie replied, "I think I still have some doubts about the vase.Do
you have time to discuss this over lunch?"
Katherine couldn't help but think how Queenie was almost the exact type of person as Chloe.
They were both arrogant, domineering, and unreasonable daughters of affluent families.
When Katherine asked Celine to send six thousand dollars to the Johnston family for the vase, Celine
told her that Queenie almost drove her out on the spot.
To Katherine's surprise, Queenie actually called her in just a few hours after the incident and "calmly"
invited her to lunch.
She didn't expect that Queenie was capable of such a sneaky and shameless move.
"Sure” Katherine agreed.
She didn't have much going on these days, and it was good to have something interesting to spice
things up a bit.
"Then, let's meet up at half-past eleven.See you in Golden Spoon Restaurant's private room.I'll make
the reservations” Queenie informed her.
Katherine accepted the invitation before hanging up the phone.She looked up to find Alice's curious
gaze on her.She told the latter, "It's Queenie"
"Queenie?"
Alice frowned at the mention of her name.
She continued, "Isn't she the eldest daughter of the Johnston family? She's also on good terms with
Chloe, right?"
Katherine smiled at her friend.
"Your memory is not too bad, Alice"
Alice snorted and asked, "Why is she looking for you? Didn't she say before that the only reason you
could enter their house was because of Zack?"
That night, Queenie had insulted Katherine in person and deliberately colluded with Chloe.
They rebuked her and filmed the whole thing.
They also posted the video all over social media for everyone to see.
At that time, the incident was seen as a joke in their circle, and Katherine naturally became the
laughing stock.
When Alice saw the video back then, she was so angry that she almost went to Queenie to settle the
score.
In the end, it was Katherine who stopped her and calmed her down.
Although it had been more than two years since then, Alice was still angry when she thought about it.
She hated her so much that every time she heard Queenie's name, her instinctive reaction was that of
physical disgust.
Katherine briefly explained to Alice why Queenie called.
She even suspected, "This lunch could be a set-up"
After hearing Katherine's explanation, the expression on Alice's face finally sweetened a little.
"Hmph! They're all a bunch of snobs! I'm just waiting for the day when those people find out that you
are the chairman of Future Technology"
"I like to keep a low profile” Katherine replied with a smile.
Alice cracked up and said, "Low profile, huh? It's kind of funny how this low profile can easily spend
several millions of dollars just to buy a yacht!"
