Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 60 

Some people began to speculate that Katherine had married Zack back then for his sake.

However, those kinds of comments were few and far between.

Before they could stir up anything on the Internet, another issue about Katherine came out.

This time, it was a direct attack on both her and Luke.

The article had talked about how they met multiple times in private, even before her divorce.

They were suspected of having an affair.

It was pretty apparent that someone had paid for the post to be on the trending list.

It took the top spot as soon as it came out.

The public's opinion of her changed back and forth.

As much as there were comments that criticized her, there were also ones that defended her.

The series of posts about her immediately gave Katherine a headache when she found out about them.

She quickly pulled up her contacts and called Alice.

"Didn't I tell you not to play tricks?"

For her sake, even Alice's own boyfriend hadn't escaped her antics.

In the end, Katherine couldn't help but chuckle at her friend's shenanigans.

When Alice heard her laugh, she immediately let out a sigh of relief.

The guilt she felt before vanished in an instant.

She countered, "I didn't do anything! I just wanted Luke to tell everyone the truth" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"You're still insistent on denying it?" Katherine asked back.

"Alright, alright.I was wrong, okay? I'll get someone to take down that post right away.’ Katherine raised her hand and rubbed at her temple.

Exasperated, she said, "Isn't that just gonna come off as a lousy attempt to deny the issue? They will even assume I'm trying to hide something.Don't worry about it anymore.Let's just let the issue run its course.In the meantime, Can you help me check if Natalie had anything to do with the post speculating I was having an affair with Luke?"

She wasn't concerned about what Natalie had done the last time.

But Katherine's limits were being tested this time, and she had to do something about it.

"Sure, I'm on it! I'll get someone to look into it now.Alice's voice sounded through the phone.Admittedly, things like these enticed Alice very much.She was already intrigued and couldn't wait for things to unfold.She didn't know why, but she really enjoyed watching Katherine give hell to anyone who crossed her.”

After hanging up the phone, Katherine got into her car and drove to Future Technology Company.

When she arrived at the building, she made her way directly to Luke's office.

She barged in and greeted him with a question.

"Why are you agreeing to do everything Alice wants you to?"

Luke glanced up at Katherine's when she came in.

He sighed, "You know I can't refuse her.’ Katherine couldn't stand how Luke was being so mushy when it came to Alice.

She instructed him, "Stop whatever you're doing and get up.Let's have a meeting."

She turned on her heels and walked to the conference room when she was done speaking.

Their meeting lasted for two hours.

Henry, Luke's secretary, ran over and greeted Katherine when the two came out of the conference room.

"Ms.Wilson.Right after” he turned to Luke and reported, "Mr.Hoffman, Mr.Colburn is already here."

Having heard this, Katherine raised an eyebrow and shot a questioning look at Luke.

"Mr.Hoffman, care to tell me what this is about?" Luke's expression remained stoic.

He explained, "It's your ex-husband.Q City Corporation wants to order some of our newly developed intelligent patrol robots.Their Design department's manager asked to meet with me when we set up the appointment.I have no idea why Zack was the one who showed up here this morning."

Luke's words had something in them that Katherine pretended she didn't catch.

She dismissed him and said, "Okay.Then, I'll exit through the back door"

"Are you avoiding him?"

Luke asked in an attempt to get arise from her.

Katherine didn't give him the satisfaction.

She smiled at him and warned, "Are you provoking me? Save it, Luke.It's not going to work on me"

Luke replied, "What about your ex-husband?"

Katherine was taken aback for a second before realizing that she was already being dragged somewhere.

She still wanted to say something, but the two of them had already arrived in front of Luke's office door.

As soon as Henry pushed open the door for them to enter, Katherine was instantly met with Zack's dark and intense gaze.
