Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 10 

Tyler was talented even before his career began.

When he was seventeen, he got accepted to study at the Central Academy.

At nineteen, he won third place in the Prada Awards with a copy of his piece Sunrise Impression.

From then on, his popularity extended overseas.

Several years I had passed yet nobody else in the country was qualified to win the award.

Despite these achievements, Tyler only took painting as his hobby.

When he turned twenty, Alice recruited him to debut in her company.

When he graduated from the university last year, another painting of him was selected for Prada Awards.

His excellence and success shocked the entire art and entertainment networks.

Because the public knew all that, his comments about Natalie's painting must have hurt.

Natalie wanted to work with him.

Not only did she want to use him as a pawn for her to be involved in his network and gain exposure, but she also wanted to use his fame for her reputation.

But since he refused, her plan failed.

Tyler initially declined Natalie's offer.

The media thought that he had a hectic schedule.

But today, he had personally attended Natalie's exhibit and commented that her painting was not good.

The live broadcast was bombarded with comments from netizens, especially Tyler's fans.

Katherine was totally satisfied with the outcome of their plan.

Looking at the barrage on the broadcast, she could not help but smile.

They did not notice how long it had been when the car had stopped.

Tyler was glancing at her from the side.

She raised her eyebrows and sighed as she unbuckled her seatbelt.

"I'm such a bad woman"

Tyler curled his lips and remarked, "I like bad women.’

Katherine rolled her eyes.

"Enough, Tyler.Stop teasing me.’ She then got out of the car and thanked him.

"Thanks for the ride.You did well today.Make sure to drive back to Alice's office and report to her"

Speaking of which, Tyler replied, "Aren't you going to treat me a meal, Katherine?"

The woman did not turn around.

"I don't know how to cook.Bye, Tyler.’ Without reconsideration, she then closed the villa's gate.

Tyler watched her for a while before he finally drove away.

Natalie invited Zack to be a special guest in her art exhibit and the media to cover a live broadcast.

Her plan was to make the trolls hype up their relationship.

She wanted to secretly step on Katherine and wait for Zack to marry her.

That way, she would not be named as the mistress.

Maybe she could make the media believe that she was innocent and let Katherine feel that she was not good enough.

But Katherine and Tyler ruined her plans.

Natalie did not even have the time to let the media interfere.

Just from Tyler's evaluation of her painting, a bunch of netizens was already stepping on her. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Natalie did not mind, though.

But it was unbelievable that there were actually netizens who favored Katherine.

She was too beautiful for Zack, they praised.

There were also some who noticed in the live broadcast that Katherine did not even glance at her ex- husband.

He, on the other hand, kept staring at her all throughout their encounter in the exhibit.

Katherine seemed to have moved on.

It was so cool of her that it made the public admired her.

Natalie wanted to step on Katherine.

But now, what happened? Ironically, things turned upside down.

Tyler's few but undesirable comments, which were evident all over the internet, especially made things worse.

It was obvious that somebody had planned all this to happen.

The netizens posted overwhelming comments.

In just a few hours after the exhibit, the public's attention had shifted to the discussion about a love triangle going on between Katherine, Zack, and Natalie.

Of course, the netizens imagined that in this love triangle, Katherine was the victim.

Whereas, Zack and Natalie were a couple.

Now, the trolls were spreading that Katherine and Zack divorced because they caught evidence of him cheating.

Somebody must have paid them to satisfy the public’s curiosity by feeding them with this ex-husband and mistress thing.

That somebody was none other than Alice.

Seeing the hot topic gave Katherine a headache.

"This is not good," she blurted out.

Alice, who was sitting on the sofa, frowned at Katherine's remark.

"How come?"

Her eyes expressed disbelief, so she reminded, "Tell me how many times Zack saw you in the entire three years you were married to him.” Katherine reminisced and the memories were a little

heartbreaking.

They had been married for three years.

But they seldom saw each other, mostly during the Colburn family banquet only.

Chloe had kept Katherine posted about Zack's whereabouts.

He had gone on a business trip eighteen times.

Eight times during that business trip, he had gone to see Natalie, not to mention the birthday of the woman's parents.

During their company's anniversary celebration, the two had been seeing each other a lot.

Seeing Katherine quietly lowering her eyes, Alice knew that she was right.

"What's more, before you married Zack, they spent the night alone in a hotel.You can ignore that, but I can't."

She continued to explain, "If we let them win again this time, the media would have bashed you.But just because Natalie lost this time doesn't mean she'd quit playing games with you.Don't pity them, Katherine."

Seeing that her friend was still bowing her head, Alice was a little disappointed.

"Katherine, you're not a bad woman for protecting yourself now.I already told you how many times they betrayed you, but it's still you who feels guilty.Haven't I been frank enough, or do you still want to endure hurting?"

Katherine's eyebrows moved.

She was facing Alice now.

She then explained, "I'm just looking for a picture of them displaying affection.”

She pointed at Alice's phone that had been beeping.

"Check your phone.I've already sent it to you.Let's take advantage of this moment and send out that one, too."

Alice raised an eyebrow as a grin flashed on her face.

"That's what I'm saying! Well done, Katherine."

Alice instantly downloaded the photo and opened it to take a look.

The evidence showing Katherine's ex-husband with the mistress immediately enraged her.

"When was this taken?"

"About seven months ago” Katherine casually replied.

The image did not really seem erotic, but catching Natalie and Zack wearing bathrobes was enough to make the public fill their imagination about what happened at that time.

What's more, Natalie herself was the one who sent it to Katherine.

Katherine believed that Zack still at least did not go too far at that time.

But back then, Natalie kept showing off as though something happened between the two.

Now that Alice thought about it, she absolutely could not take back what she said.

If Natalie could not wait to be a mistress, then they should satisfy her.

Alice was so furious that she could not wait to reveal Natalie's real intention.

"I'll ask someone to deal with it right away.Zack is a fucking cheater! It's disgusting to be with such a jerk.Don't get back together with him anymore!"

"I definitely won't.I don't need money."

Alice wanted to cry.

"I don't have money.Can you lend me some?"

Katherine tilted her head and glanced at her.

"If you sell the bags and shoes in your wardrobe, you won't be short of money” Annoyed, Alice exclaimed, "You bad woman!"

Although she knew that Alice did not mean what she said, Katherine nodded.

She lowered her head and curved her naturally alluring eyes as she smiled.

"Right, I'm a bad woman.I'm not worthy of anyone's love."

Alice was taken aback by her friend's sudden emotional statement.

She thought that her divorced friend was a bit hard on herself.

Alice seemed to be somewhat moved, but she was torn between comforting Katherine and avenging for her heartache now.

‘‘What should I do? I should be online.This is urgent!’’
