Chapter 25 Am I Hitting You Where It Hurts
After midnight, Kate finished her work.
She walked to the entrance of the hotel and was about to take the night bus home.
"Kate! Wait for me!"
A familiar voice was especially clear in this quiet night.
Kate recognized the voice. It was Daniel. 'Why is he here? Will he blame me for Betty?' she wondered.
Kate turned around and looked coldly at Daniel, who rolled down the car window. Without saying
anything, she continued to walk towards the bus station.
Daniel pushed the car door open and got off the car. While chasing after her, he shouted, "Kate, wait.
Can we have a talk?"
All of a sudden, Kate stopped and turned her head again.
Kate stared at the noble man in the dim light of night. He was tall and handsome, but she didn't like
him.
"Just say what you want to say. Don't waste my time." Kate was tough and didn't want to talk nonsense
with him. She didn't care whether he did it for the sake of Betty or not.
"Let go of Betty, okay?" Daniel stared at Kate. His tone was not as arrogant and domineering as before,
nor was he blaming or reprimanding her. He just hoped that Kate would let go of Betty.
Kate smiled and replied coldly, "No, you are wrong. You should persuade her to let me go."
"Kate!" As the young man from the rich family, Daniel was not that patient. When he saw Kate's
stubbornness, his vital energy rose slightly.
"What? Am I hitting you where it hurts?" Knowing that Daniel still held a grudge against her for
poisoning her sister, Kate deliberately provoked him.
Suddenly, Kate's words made Daniel lose his cool.
A gust of nameless anger surged up again, and Daniel's voice became louder in the night wind. He
roared, "You poisoned Betty by mistake and even blackmailed her five hundred thousand dollars!
You've gone too far! You are her sister. How can you do that?" Daniel couldn't help but bombard her
with accusations.
"I'm just using my own money. Don't make a big deal about it." Kate's heart was full of disgust. Why
should he blame her? She must take back the property of the Xiao Family, which was made by her
mother with a dowry. This family would belong to Kate in the future, not Jason.
"Unreasonable!" Daniel shouted.
"Then we don't need to have a talk. Don't pester me. It's late." Kate turned around and was about to
leave, as if she didn't want to talk to him.
"Kate, remove the spots on Betty's face!" Staring at the woman who turned around, Daniel ordered
frantically, and his suppressed anger could no longer be restrained.
"Okay, I can help you. But I need money. If you offer me a good price, I will think about it." Turning
around, Kate stretched out her hand and looked at Daniel's face in the night light. His face was a little
distorted and even furious, but it was none of her business.
"Material girl," Daniel gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Money is not everything, but you can't do anything without money. By the way, I like that title." Her soft
and realistic words completely irritated Daniel, who was boiling with anger. He gritted his teeth and
glared at Kate in front of him. He was so angry that he suddenly clenched his fists and his knuckles
crunched.
The street lights were on.
Daniel looked at Kate's cold eyes, which were calm and expressionless. There was nothing he wanted,
fear, begging, and even the deep affection she had for him before, which was completely gone now.
It was as if it had evaporated out of thin air! How was that possible?
A gust of cold night wind blew over his brain and gradually calmed him down. It was not until then that
Daniel remembered that he had something to tell Kate, "My grandmother will hold a private dinner the
day after tomorrow. You must attend it." His voice was grave, just like an order.
"I'm sorry. I think you got the wrong guy. You should go with Betty." Kate satirized Daniel on purpose
and he suddenly understood.
"You!" Daniel flew into a rage.
"Am I wrong? Why are you staring at me like that? You just wanted me to cure the purple spots on
Betty's face. Then you two can continue your story." Kate smiled, like the fragrance of the night, quietly
blooming in the night wind. Her smile was fresh and elegant, and soon, her smile began to be charming
and cold, like a dangerous flower in the night light, beautiful and intoxicating.
She was beautiful but very dangerous.
And she would not do whatever Daniel wanted.
Daniel's mood was completely affected by her smile. He waved his hand irritably, "Kate, you must
come."
"What if I don't go? What will you do? Will you kill me?" Kate asked.
"Your grandma has agreed." Daniel knew Kate's weakness. Kate's grandmother was her weakness,
and Daniel always used it to his advantage.
Suddenly, Kate changed her expression as she heard what Daniel said.
With a ferocious look in her eyes, Kate's lips turned cold and murderous. "If anything happens to
grandma, I will let the Gu Family pay the price! I'm serious!"
She was not kidding.
The cruelty in her eyes, the ruthlessness in her eyes, and the cruel words from her mouth made
Daniel's heart skip a beat. Although he knew that Kate's eyes were sharp and cold before, how could
she be so unscrupulous to say such cruel words in front of him? She said that she would let the whole
Gu Family pay the price. Daniel thought that she had bitten off more than she could chew. But Kate's
cold and vicious tone made him in a trance.
'She was so arrogant!' Daniel wondered.
Just then, a fancy car came over. A young man opened the car window, revealing a greasy face. With
Kate's memory, she knew it was Mr. He.
"Miss Xiao, would you like to drink with me?" Mr. He said in an oily tone.
"Of course. It's my pleasure." Kate smiled and said in a gentle tone.
Daniel was so depressed that his eyes almost popped out. He clasped his big hands and growled, "He
is a well-known playboy! Don't you know that? How can you go with him?"
"Yes, I know he is the playboy. But at least, he doesn't have two faces. But some men are handsome
and elegant on the surface, but in fact, he is depraved. He even has an affair with his sister-in-law.
What do you think? Am I right?" With a smile on her face, Kate cursed Daniel thoroughly.
"You!" Daniel was so angry that he stamped his feet.
In the car, Kate sat beside Mr. He.
Mr. He turned his head with a smile and asked, "Miss Xiao, would you like a drink?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. He. Please make it another day. I'm a little tired today." She turned her head and smiled,
with charming and amorous eyes. Then she joked, "Are you afraid that I will run away?" But Kate was
gritting her teeth secretly. She heard that Mr. He's vital part had been cut once, but he was not afraid of
being cut again. How could he come out to date girl so soon?
"Oh, babe, I'm not afraid that you will run away.
After all. We have a long way to go, right?" Mr. He said with a smile.
Not far from the bus station, several football cheerleaders were surprised to see this scene.
"How dare Kate seduce Mr. He?"
"I promise she will be dumped within a month!"
"In fact, she is pathetic enough."
"Yes, her sister stole her fiance!"
"Alas!"
"It turns out that I thought she was so infatuated with Mr. Gu. I didn't expect she will change her heart
so quickly."
"Her love is fake!" those girls discussed together.
Kate took the bus and went home. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Her grandmother hadn't fallen asleep yet. She put on her clothes and asked, "Kate, have you eaten
yet?"
"Yes, grandma. How about you?" Kate asked with concern.
"The food you cooked is getting more and more delicious!" her grandmother said with a smile.
"How are you feeling today?" Kate added. She helped her grandmother sit down and poured a glass of
water for her.
"I'm feeling good. Don't worry," her grandmother comforted her.
Kate raised her right wrist by accident and checked her grandmother's heart quickly with a light wave
device. An image immediately formed in her mind, her grandmother's heart was stable, but it was a
little depleted. The operation needed to be done as soon as possible, and her grandmother couldn't be
stimulated at present.
Kate had stolen the battery of the light wave device from the child's mother she had saved at midnight.
Because she needed to check her grandmother's heart regularly every day, and she couldn't be
careless at all, so she had to use a light wave device.
"Kate, the Gu Family will invite the member of the Xiao Family to have dinner in the TS Hotel the night
after tomorrow," her grandmother said.
"Okay. I see," Kate replied gently.
"After all, Daniel is your fiance, and his grandmother has invited you. It's not appropriate for you not to
go. We can't let that mother and daughter to be in the spotlight. We can't do that. We can't let Amy and
Carla get what they want." Kate's grandmother could see everything clearly.
"There is one thing I have to tell you. Amy doesn't have the surname Chen at all. She is the illegitimate
daughter of Jason. Jason has colluded with your stepmother for a long time, but kept your poor mother
in the dark," Kate's grandmother said with tears in her eyes.
"Your mother is so stupid!" The old lady choked with sobs, "Don't follow your mother's path, okay?" She
held Kate's hand and felt very sad. She knew that Kate was too weak. She was afraid that Kate would
get hurt.
"I won't follow my mother's old path. I swear." Kate's voice was less sad, but more firm.
Another night was over and the sun rose.
Two men appeared in the hospital.
Leaning against the wall lazily, David put his hands in his pockets and asked, "Mike, will you go to the
activity tomorrow night?"
"No, I won't," Mike refused decisively.
"Okay, then let's go for a drink," David said.
