Chloe, who had always looked down on Katherine, stood up for her at that time.
As a result, Zack felt that Katherine was too devious.
Due to his hatred toward her, he barely let her stay by his 7 side.
There was a sudden commotion in the middle of the garden, and Sean pulled him to check out the
situation.
Only then did he see Katherine getting out of the pool, soaking wet.
The people around him were all laughing at her.
Sean was also laughing beside him.
Zack was mocking her for her petty tricks just to get his attention.
He was disgusted with the thought that she even had to resort to pretending to act pitiful to gain
sympathy.
He stood not far away and watched her slowly walk toward him.
He felt that those people were not only ridiculing her but also laughing at him.
Her face looked terrible.
She walked up to him, looking disheveled with her clothes dripping with water.
"Zack, I feel cold”
Her pale face made her look pitiful, but all he felt was contempt.
He gave her a cold glare before turning to leave.
Looking back, he realized that she might have really felt miserable that night.
She had clearly told him that she was cold in front of the guests.
She probably thought that as her husband, he would at least take her away out of duty, even if he did
not feel any care or compassion toward her.
Unfortunately, he did not.
In hindsight, Zack felt uneasy.
He stared at Katherine, who stood more than a meter away from him.
Her delicate and beautiful face looked cold and aloof.
Her alluring eyes were filled with indifference, far from the fragile and pitiful Katherine that he had seen
that night.
It was as if that image of her was only in his imagination.
It finally dawned on him that he had driven her away.
His heart was heavy with guilt and regret.
"I'm sorry.He looked straight at her, his pitch-black eyes like a bottomless pit.”
Katherine chuckled, "It doesn't matter now.It's all in the past"
After all, she held a grudge.
She would settle these old debts one by one.
Immediately after she spoke, her smile faded, and her face looked cold.
She then turned around and walked out.
Zack watched as she walked away from him.
The sea breeze was biting, just like the indifferent look she gave him.
He took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked while he stood in the darkness.
He was aware that Katherine was avoiding him like the plague.
The more she loved him and longed for his love in the past, the more she hated him now to the point
that she was repulsed by the mere thought of being near him.
He took a long drag of the cigarette.
His throat felt constricted, and he swallowed with much difficulty.
He then put out the cigarette and turned to leave.
"Mr.Colburn, long time no see" A man's voice came from behind.
Zack frowned upon hearing his voice.
He turned around and came face to face with Anthony.
"Mr.Jordan" he said, clearly displeased.
"Mr.Colburn doesn't seem to like me very much"
"You can say that; Zack scoffed.
He walked to the side and threw the cigarette into the garbage bin.
Anthony smiled as he said, "Katherine told me about you.She complained that you've been pestering
her"
Zack's expression turned cold almost instantly.
He looked Anthony straight in the eye and asked, "So? What does it have to do with you?"
"She is my girlfriend now.Of course, it matters to me."
Zack sneered, "Even married couples get divorced.How sure are you that you won't break up?"
"I'm sure of it.After all, I'm not Mr.Colburn."
His words were laced with sarcasm, aimed directly at Zack.
Undeterred by Zack's demeanor, Anthony was still smiling, as if he had just spoken casually.
Zack's face turned gloomy.
After a while, he asserted, "She doesn't like you."
Having said that, he turned around and left.Anthony stood behind and looked at Zack's departing
figure.His face gradually relaxed.
