Katherine had just walked out of the police station when Atty.
Parson returned.He was only gone for less than half an hour.
"Miss Wilson, Ms.Curtis," he greeted.
Katherine nodded in acknowledgment and smiled at him.
"Thank you for your hard work, Atty.Parson."
"Of course.It's what I should do"
Katherine then turned her attention toward Celine, who followed her out of the precinct.
"Miss Wilson”
"Speak."
The two of them stood by the alley.It was past nine o'clock in the evening, so the road was almost
empty.
Although cars were passing by from time to time, there were no pedestrians.
They were not concerned that other people might overhear their conversation.
It had been six or seven hours since the incident.
Given Celine’s ability, she had most likely found out the culprit behind the matter.
Celine looked at Katherine and revealed the details they had discovered.
"During the New Year, Mr.Colburn followed you to C City.During that period, Natalie paid someone to
spy on you.After discovering the feud between you and your grandmother, she specifically instructed
someone to tell Mrs.Wilson that you have become successful in Y City.Coincidentally, Carrick spent the
new year gambling.He borrowed 50,000 dollars in high-interest loans from loan sharks.Now, he owes
them over 200,000 dollars, and they don't have the means to pay it off.Having heard of your wealth,
Mrs.Wilson brought him to Y City to ask you for money"
Katherine clicked her tongue lightly, feeling amused.
"It seems that Natalie has been quite idle recently" She thought that Natalie was focused on being a
top celebrity.
Apparently, even if Katherine had not planned on taking any action against the latter, Natalie already
had something up her sleeve against her.
Katherine curled her lips in disdain.
"I got it.It's getting late.You can go back.Thank you for your hard work today."
"This is what I should do, Miss Wilson.I'm glad I could help" Katherine smiled and looked at the time on
her phone.
"Then, I'll go ahead."
"Should I send you home, Miss Wilson?" Celine asked.
Katherine's car was still at the company parking lot.
The car keys were inside her bag when Amelia stole it, which was why she had not driven it earlier.
It was Zack who brought her to the police station.
But it was already late.
Celine would arrive at her own house past ten o'clock if she sent Katherine home.
Katherine gently refused, "Don't bother.I can always take a cab."
The two of them then left the police station.
Just as they walked out, Katherine saw Zack standing beside his car.She gave him a brief glance
before heading out to look for a taxi.
Celine had also seen Zack.She had always had a poor impression of him.
Other people may not have known about the marriage between Zack and Katherine, but Celine, as
Katherine's secretary, had been well aware of it.
Furthermore, Katherine was not only her superior but also her idol! Celine had always been courteous;
however, this time, she did not put on a polite smile when Zack approached them.
Zack glanced at Celine.He recognized her as the secretary of Katherine.
"Miss Wilson, let me send you home’ Celine offered to drive for Katherine before Zack even had the
chance to speak.
Katherine put her phone inside the bag, looked up at Celine, and smiled, "Okay."
Celine felt thrilled that Katherine agreed to ride with her.
"Miss Wilson, please wait here.I'll drive the car over”
"No need, I can take her home."
A low male voice suddenly interrupted, and Celine was displeased.
Despite being a subordinate, she did not wait for Katherine to speak and coldly replied, "No need to
trouble Mr.Colburn.I'll send Miss Wilson home."
Katherine was surprised to find out that Celine was dissatisfied with Zack.She raised her eyebrows in
interest.
As if she had not heard and seen Zack, she told her, "Let's go."
Celine was momentarily stunned as she didn't think Katherine would agree with her.She then quickly
led the way.
Her car was parked nearby.
Celine was afraid that Zack would catch up with them, so she walked faster, even in her high heels.
Katherine followed her at a leisurely pace.
Celine had walked for several minutes before she realized that she was walking too fast and had left
Katherine behind.
She was stupefied and annoyed at herself for her behavior.
She hurried back towards Katherine and apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss Wilson.I was a bit anxious and
walked too fast"
Katherine teased, "Why? Is there a dog chasing after you?"
Celine almost nodded in response but managed to regain her professionalism and muttered an excuse.
"The wind is a little strong tonight, and I was afraid you'll feel cold"
"Let's go." Katherine smiled and did not expose her lie.
Soon, the two of them entered the parking lot and got into the car.
Celine was feeling jubilant when the car drove out of the parking lot.
