Lydia walked alongside Katherine, and then said, “I heard Lucas say that he had known this girl for a

while. In fact, I have always had a good impression. Lucas is introverted and shy hence he didn’t dare

to express it. I discovered it and asked him about it before he admitted. This kid, I don’t know what to

say about him. What so embarrassing to admit that he likes a girl.”

Whether or not this was said to Katherine deliberately, Katherine didn’t want to think about it so much.

A lot of things that Lydia said were deliberately said to her, but she didn’t care about it.

Her words were treated the same as earlier, treated as non-existent.

Lydia didn’t care whether she cared about her or not, and continued, “I heard that that girl is very good.

She comes from good family background, has a good character, has a high education, and has got a

beautiful appearance. She is worthy to be paired up with Lucas. If Lucas marries such a girl, I’d be very

satisfied.”

Katherine walked around along the path, while Lydia followed her.

While they walked and chat, she continued to blabber on about how good Lucas's girlfriend was.

Katherine didn’t want to listen to this, she thought she was a little noisy.

In the end, she couldn't stand it anymore, and said, “How’s Lucas's work going in the office? At the

dinner yesterday, I heard that the younger brothers and sisters of the third uncle’s family are also

coming back. They should be being hired into the company. They are all talented people. After going

abroad for work, now that they’re back, they should have a considerably high position.”

Sure enough, Lydia immediately shut up.

When it came to work matters, Marshall succeeded Lucas. Now, with the third extension of the family

back, how could Lydia felt comfortable if they were on an equal footing with Lucas.

Katherine laughed and didn’t continue to speak, but her intention was already very clear.

Lydia let out a groan as she walked, “It’s almost time, I have to go back and change. I’m rushing to the

company, so I won’t continue my walk with you. Kathy, walk slowly and pay attention to your safety.”

Katherine nodded as if she was about to smile.

Lydia stopped, turned around, and walked towards her house, and at the same time, the pretentious

smile on her face disappeared instantly.

Katherine felt that it was not wrong of her to put pressure on Lydia.

With Lydia’s character, she definitely deserved someone to put pressure on her.

She inexplicably missed Frances a little at the thought of this.

No matter how good Lydia was, even if Frances was now talkative, she would also not go step on her

toes when she meets Frances.

Although Frances’s personality had changed, her influence was still here.

Katherine sat in the garden and waited for Marshall to come back at noon.

The two returned to the main building holding each other’s hands.

Old Mrs. Grant was not surprised to see Marshall coming back at noon.

She called for Marshall to go over and sit with her, “Your dad won’t come back at noon. Does your dad

eat by himself for lunch, or does he have it with your second uncle and third uncle?”

Marshall looked at Old Mrs. Grant in surprise, “Grandma, haven’t you realized yet? How could my dad

eat by himself during lunch? How would he even have it with my second uncle and third uncle? He’s

always been having it with my mother.”

Old Mrs. Grant realized she made a senseless remark, “That’s right, my bad.”

Katherine laughed beside him and suddenly felt that she didn’t know when this family had become a lot

warmer.

After a while, the kitchen staff informed them that lunch was ready.

However, Katherine was not hungry at all. So, she sat and watch Old Mrs. Grant and Marshall have

their meal.

She mentioned encountering Lydia, and how she tried to show off that Lucas has a girlfriend when they

walked.

Marshall laughed uncontrollably, “People tend to show off things that they lack the most. We can just

treat it as a passing remark, don’t have to take it too seriously.”

Katherine laughed out, “She flaunted all the way. Then, when I mentioned about the third uncle’s family

is back and would probably go into the company, she instantly kept her mouth.”

Katherine felt achieved, “In the future, whenever she tries to flaunt that Lucas has a girlfriend, I’ll rebut

her with work matters.”

Old Mrs. Grant shook her head helplessly, “Only you and Frances can hold her back.”

Frances used to rely on messing around, while Katherine felt that she was different, as she outsmarted

her.

After all the talking and laughter, Katherine and Marshall rested a while after lunch before she followed

Marshall out.

They went to a warehouse under 池家公司 (the Grant Corporation?).

Many villagers were working in the warehouse.

Marshall had already informed them in advance.

These people were waiting at the dormitory.

Marshall went directly to their dormitory area with Katherine.

When Jack saw Katherine, he immediately ran over, “Katherine! Oh, how did you become so fat...”

He didn’t continue his statement. How’s that fat? Anyone with eyes could tell that she was pregnant.

The person next to him hurriedly came over, “Kathy, you are pregnant.”

Katherine nodded and touched her stomach, “It’s been more than three months. I was already carrying

it the last time I went back.”

The person started to nag, “Why didn’t you mention anything at the time? When you went back, you

even climbed up the mountain and visited the grave. What if something happened?”

Katherine laughed it off, “I’m very sturdy, you all know that. You’ve watched me since young.”

Katherine was really fit. She took on all the chores at home since young.

No other girl had ever suffered that much like her.

Marshall got someone to bring chairs over, and everyone sat around the entrance of the dormitory.

Katherine asked if they are used to working and if they were satisfied with their treatment.

These people nodded quickly, “There are jobs here all year round. It’s not like being at home where we

can only stay at home during winter. We can make a lot of money here as they take care of our meals

and lodging. Apart from the occasional smoking and drinking, we don’t have much to spend on. Gifts

are also given during the holidays, which is a lot better than our hometown.”

Katherine felt at ease after hearing from them.

Jack, who was next to him, added, “My family also asked me if we needed female workers here. If they

can be of any use, we have some relatives who would be keen to come over.”

She was unable to decide on such a matter, so she turned her head and looked at Marshall.

Marshall didn’t hesitate, “There’s a possibility that we still need to hire kitchen staff. For that, you can

talk to the supervisor and ask him if there are any vacancies. If there is, you can also bring some of

your people over.”

Jack laughed, “Kathy, we are all doing well because of you.”

Katherine felt a little bit emotional, “You’ll used to take care of me, this is nothing.”

In the past, when it was the farming season, whenever Katherine and her grandfather were unable to

finish their load, it was these villagers who extended their help once they were done with their duties.

Katherine and Old Mr. Jordan have inherited the affection of the villagers for so many years.

Jack looked at Katherine and said, “I heard from my family that your dad went back to the village after

we had left and stated his intention of wanting to sell the house.”

Katherine smiled, “He can sell it if he wants. I don’t really care.”

Some folks beside him weren’t happy, “He still has to see what the rest of us has to say if he wants to

sell his house. Based on his character, even if someone is willing to buy from him, the deal would also

probably fall through.”
