Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 222 

By noon, Katherine's eyes were a bit uncomfortable after reading more than half of the first novel that needed to be evaluated.

When Gabrielle came in with food, Katherine looked up and asked her, "Ms.Hill, how are things this morning?"

Gabrielle explained how she had asked for help from the security guards to drive Katherine's grandmother and uncle away.

To reassure Katherine, she continued, "I've already told the security guards to keep an eye on them so they won't come to the company anymore"

Katherine sighed and knowingly said, "As if you would be able to stop them if they show up again’

Even though it had been over a decade, Katherine could still faintly remember how rude and unreasonable Amelia was as a grandmother.

She hadn't seen Amelia and the rest of her relatives in ten years.

Katherine had a gut feeling that something was amiss, considering that they appeared out of nowhere. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

After some thought, Katherine picked her phone up and dialed Celine’s number.

When Celine saw a call from Katherine, she had assumed it had something to do with Natalie.

Nonetheless, now that Natalie didn't have a backer, Katherine didn't have to do anything.

After knowing that Natalie had offended quite a lot, Celine was confident at first that it was enough to make her feel uncomfortable and keep her occupied.

However, when Celine learned that Natalie had recently become acquainted with a well-known director and was eyeing the female lead position in "Divine Way" she couldn't help but assume that Katherine was now calling her because of it.

As a qualified secretary, Celine paid close attention to Natalie's current situation, anticipating that Katherine would later ask questions.

This time, though, she had guessed wrong.

Katherine did not inquire about Natalie but asked her to look into her relatives from C City, her grandmother in particular.

Celine was baffled as she voiced out, "Your grandmother?"

She had been working under Katherine for six or seven years, and this was the first time she'd heard Katherine mention her relatives.

Not hearing Katherine's answer right away was unusual, so Celine was quiet for a moment after sensing the oddity in Katherine's behavior.

After some time, Katherine lightly responded, "Yes, not only do I have a grandmother, but I also have an uncle, and I guess an aunt.Maybe one or two cousins too’ Katherine paid no attention to their relatives once her parents took her back to C City that year.

Celine had been with Katherine for so long that she couldn't have missed Katherine's sarcastic remarks.

She could tell right away that Katherine's relatives didn't care for her nor like her very much.

So, she tactfully replied, "I understand.I'll send someone to look into it right away”

"I really appreciate your efforts.Thank you Katherine had a faint smile on her lips after saying that.

Celine respectfully replied, "You have nothing to worry about.This is what I'm supposed to do, Miss Wilson"

After hanging up the phone, Katherine took a sip of her coffee.

That old woman had not looked for her in a long time, but she was now looking for Katherine.

She could probably guess what had happened that made them seek her help.

Amelia would probably not look for Katherine, the "worthless" grandchild of hers in this life, if Katherine's useless uncle had not been in trouble.

Ever since her parents died in an accident, Katherine rarely returned to C City.

She would only return to pay her respects whenever she was free.

She wouldn't even spend more than one day there as her return flight would always be on the same day.

Furthermore, none of her acquaintances in C City knew anything about her now.

So, it was incredible that Amelia was able to find her here.

Katherine clicked her tongue, raised her eyebrows, and directly threw the first IP case in front of her to the side.

It was rubbish.

Moreover, there was no logic in the plot at all.

However, several companies were competing to get this novel's film and television copyright.

‘‘Then, let them film it” she nonchalantly said to herself.
