Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 125 

Beatrice was baffled by what Sean said.

"Sean, are you sure that is what you saw?"she asked.

She massaged her forehead out of dismay.

Queenie's face turned pale.

"Sean! Are you in your right mind? I'm your cousin! Why are you blaming me instead of that stranger?!"

Queenie furiously said as she pointed at Katherine.

Once again, Simon looked at Katherine intently.

Katherine was always calm, despite all the screams that Queenie gave her.

"Mr.Johnston, it's getting late.It's better if I leave now.I'll be sending someone to deliver my compensation” Katherine said as she turned to Simon.

"Can we leave now?"

Katherine said to Anthony and smiled sweetly at him.

Anthony was stunned for a moment.

But he shook his head and quickly responded to Katherine.

"Okay, let's go" he answered.

After speaking, Anthony faced Simon and Beatrice and bade his goodbyes.

Katherine also tipped her head towards them as a sign of respect.

After that, they left the house.

From the beginning, Katherine didn't even flinch at Beatrice and Queenie's remarks.

Simon observed Katherine until they left when he suddenly thought of something.

"Sean, wasn't Anthony's girlfriend Zacks’ ex-wife?" he asked Sean.

Sean couldn't get over what happened, so he absentmindedly answered.

"Yes, Uncle Simon, it’s her" Simon nodded.

"This girl is a tough one” he said as he frowned.

Sean quietly sighed.

‘‘Indeed, she wasn't an easy girl to deal with” he thought to himself.

Today, it seemed that Queenie became a laughing stock in front of Katherine.

Unlike Katherine, whose expression never changed, Queenie was loud and couldn't control her temper.

The gap was too high. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Queenie’s attitude was no match for Katherine.

Simon faced his daughter, Queenie, and gave her a cold expression.

"Have you got no shame?" he asked Queenie as he slapped her.

Beatrice felt bad for Queenie because she was Beatrice's only daughter.

Her motherly instincts immediately rescued Queenie from her father’s way of discipline.

"Simon, what are you doing?! Yes, what Queenie did was impulsive.But that's not enough reason to hit her!"

Beatrice said to her husband, Simon.

Simon grunted.

"A moment of impulse? Have you forgotten? Two years ago, she and Chloe caused me trouble during my father's birthday.Do you think that you successfully made fun of Katherine?" he said as he laughed sarcastically.

"You're dumb, aren't you? You could see it in Katherine's eyes that your actions made her amused!" he continued.

"Have you seen how Katherine acted? Have you seen her lose her temper or shout back at Queenie?" Simon asked.

He turned to Queenie.

"And what about you? You were born as a Johnston.You have everything you need in your life, unlike how I lived as a child.But look at yourself, you never fail to put a shame on my face as your father!" he further added.

How could Simon not know about his only daughter? In the past, the situation was different because Katherine was Zack's wife, and the Colburn family didn't like Katherine.

So, naturally, Simon wouldn't interfere.

This incident was different from what had happened before.

Simon had been in the business world for so long, and he knew people's attitudes at a glance.

Katherine was calm and reserved despite being in trouble.

A woman in her twenties could look into his eyes confidently yet politely.

Simon concluded that Katherine must be a woman with experience and capability based on her attitude.

Queenie froze in her spot when her father slapped her.

She held her cheek and didn't dare to say anything.

Since the atmosphere got even more awkward, Sean quickly left.

As soon as his car was out of the garage in his aunt's house, he called Zack and informed him about what happened.

When Zack saw his phone ringing, he didn't hesitate to answer Sean's call.

"Zack, I just came from my aunt's house.It's a pity that you weren't here.Something big happened!"

Sean immediately said.

Zack, who was on the other side of the line, sneered.

"With your IQ, aren't you afraid that you are the one being watched? Something big happened? Are you sure that it's not you who caused big trouble?" he said jokingly.

"Of course not! Okay, so this is what happened.”

Katherine came along with Anthony, and she took pictures of Uncle Simon's favorite vase, but she lost her balance because of Queenie; Sean said quickly.

"And, honestly, I didn't know who to side with.Should I lie to protect my cousin, or do I tell the truth? Also, I can't believe that your ex-wife cornered and forced me to be a witness” Sean continued.

Despite everything Sean said, Zack didn't respond to any of them.

"By the way, I noticed that Katherine seemed like a different person after your divorce.Why am I getting a feeling that this is the real Katherine?" Sean said.

He sensed something wrong with the smiles that Katherine gave him.

Still, Zack didn't reply.

"I swear! You don't know how terrifying her eyes were.She was smiling at me, but it felt like I was going to be in trouble if I didn't follow her? Sean continued to say despite the silence.Zack's jaw clenched, and he threw away his cigarette.

"Did you call me to say this?" he impassively replied.

"Of course! It's about your ex-wife.Don't you care about her?" Sean said.

Zack lit up another cigarette.

"If you care so much about Katherine, go ahead and chase her.I won't stop you.You're handsome and elegant, anyways.There's no need for you to go through me” he straightforwardly said.

Sean was getting pissed.

Was this something an ex-husband should say?
