Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie)

Chapter 763

“I understand. Let the cards stay canceled for now, just take good care of my mom,” she said before hanging up. Vivian’s attempt to cut off her financial resources was a real challenge. Katherine wondered what she could do to start earning money

The Cat Cafe had always been funded by her previous savings. If Katherine stopped now, there would be no point, especially with so many cats to care for. The immediate priority was to start earning money–after all, the child she was expecting would need a lot of financial support in the future.

Thinking about this, Katherine couldn’t help baut sigh. She regretted not learning more about business management from Louis. With her cards canceled, she truly had to come up with a solution on her own now,

Katherine glanced across and noticed that the fruit store, which used to belong to Julian, seemed to be up for lease. “Tomas, has that fruit store across the street been vacant for a while?”

The staff, Tomas Melendez, glanced over and nodded. “Yes, that store has been up for lease for a while. It’s been difficult to find a suitable tenant because of its large size, but there have been some inquiries recently. Are you thinking of opening a branch?”

Katherine chuckled. “I don’t have the money to open a branch, but I need to think of other ways to make money.”

Tomas shrugged and thought. ‘Business is tough. Even just maintaining the Cat Cafe has been a struggle. Opening a new one would be even harder with such fierce.competition”

Katherine touched her belly and thought, In today’s world, it’s often easier to earn money through women and children, Looking at the storefront’s location with its foot traffic, and the nearby schools and residential areas, she saw a lot of potential for high customer volume.

Katherine pondered the situation, did some online research, and realized that despite her lack of business acumen, she was well–educated and came from a wealthy family, so she had some skills to offer. After calculating her available funds and considering current property prices, she estimated that she could afford the small shop. With that in mind, she called the rental agency to inquire if the landlord would be willing to sell the property inurad

Katherine had a personal motive as well. Since Julian wouldn’t be returning, keeping his previous fruit store would serve as a keepsake of him.

The real estate agent contacted Valerie, who had already taken over the shop. She was initially surprised to hear someone wanted to buy it. Just as she was about to decline, she reconsidered, With Julian now successful, keeping the shop seemed wasteful. Initially, it was kept as a fallback in case Julian struggled out of town. Since business was booming now, she decided it was best to sell the property.

Valerie agreed readily. Once the real estate agent confirmed this to Katherine, they arranged a meeting to discuss the details. When both arrived, Valerie was surprised to discover that the buyer was Katherine.

“Katherine, it’s you? Are you the one buying this shop?” Valerie asked.

Katherine felt a bit awkward, not expecting Valerie to be the current owner. She smiled and said, “Valerie, yes, it’s me who wants to buy it I’ve moved out and need a new place.”

“What’s going on? Why did you suddenly move out? Valerie asked, puzzled. She had sensed something was off during their call, but she didn’t expect Katherine to have moved out of the Santos

family.

Katherine gave awry unile and said, “My mother and I had some issues, so it’s more convenient for me to move out and live on my own” She didn’t elaborate further, as she wasn’t ready to discuss the details about her pregnancy just yet.

Valerie understood the situation immediately, she pondered, Mrs. Santos must have been pressuring Katherine again, or she wouldn’t have moved out so suddenly Valerie offered. “Alright since you’re buying, let’s go with the original purchase price I paid for the shop.

“Thank you, Valerie!” Katherine said,

“No need to thank me! But what kind of business a are you planning to open with the shop!” Valerie asked,

“I’m thinking of opening an oil painting class. There’s an elementary school nearby, and I believe my skills are quite good. I could teach the students, and it would be a relaxed job. Plus, it would help support the Cat Cafe–otherwise, those cats might not even have enough food!” Katherine replinit.

Valerie chuckled, knowing how challenging running a Cat Cafe could be, and how finicky the cats could be. After they signed the contract, Valerie patted Katherine on the back, saying, “Turi forget us when you’re successfull You need to write a piece for me to keep. One day, when you’re a famous painter, it’ll be worth a fortune!”

ng that Valer

Katherine couldn’t help but feel relieved, seeing Valerie didn’t suspect anything. “Don’t worry, Valerie. I’ll write a whole piece for you to frame. And when it comes to Hugo’s paintings, I’ll make sure to give it extra attention!”

“No problem!” Valerie smiled, but before she could continue, a ringtone interrupted her. Valerie glanced at her phone and saw it was Charles calling. She answered, and his voice came through, “Mrs. Grant, the arrangements you requested are nearly complete. When would you like to proceed?”

:had been a while, and Owen had been the only one causing trouble. The last time, they had dealt with Fred and used him to set up a trap verything was almost in place, just waiting for Owen to walk into it. Hearing this news, Valerie smiled and said, “In that case, let’s start creating i uzz–make it as big as possible. We need to make sure the Anderson family knows that this time, there can be absolutely no mistakes!”

Alright, I’ll get started right away, Charles replied.

atherine couldn’t help but ask, “Valerie, is something going on? Anderson family? Is this related to Mr. Anderson!”

alerie nodded and said, “Yes, Mrs. Anderson is fine, but Mr.Anderson is another story. I don’t trust him; he’s been a thorn in my side multiple imes. With Matthew not around, he’s become even more aggressive”

learing this, Katherine was a bit surprised but quickly came to her senses. “Don’t worry, Valerie. I’ll support you. Mr. Anderson doesn’t seem rustworthy at all. You should teach him a lesson and show him that young and beautiful women like us are not to be messed with!”

Exactly, being young isn’t a sin, and looking good isn’t a crime either. If he underestimates me, I’ll make sure he knows that even if Matthew isn’t sack yet, the Grant family is not for him to dictater Valerie said firmly.
