I gave Catherine a slight nudge, after she had her fill of chastising. It was time to make our exit!
I didn't bother with Olivia's mood, motioning for Catherine and Hannah to follow me through the crowd.
As we walked, I turned to Catherine, "You've got some nerve! You didn't even use any explicit words.
Had your fill of the drama?"
Catherine, a wicked grin on her face, whispered, "I just wanted to let it simmer a bit. How's that for a
ticking time bomb?"
I shot her a glance, but held back my laughter.
"Boom! Stirred the pot, didn't I? If I could stir thing up for the Bradlee family and teach that bitch a
lesson, then it's all been worth it!" Catherine chuckled mischievously.
Suppressing my laughter, I said, "That's a Molotov cocktail!"
We all burst into laughter.
Hannah chimed in, "But I feel like there's something off about this Irving guy, and their divorce terms
are the key!"
I shot Hannah a quick look, praising, "Smart! But, the truth won't stay hidden for long. Now that Janetta
is conscious, all will be revealed!"
"That should give the mistress something to think about!" Hannah laughed, clearly enjoying the
situation.
"Let the joke sink in, it'll hit harder! I just want Irving to be under siege!" Catherine added, then turned to
me, "Why is Ronan here?"
"He's from the Richardson Group, and his name is Bennett now!" I quickly whispered, reminding her,
"Be careful not to mention his name as Ronan. Watch your tongue!" RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Catherine nodded solemnly.
Just then, I saw Jaylan weaving through the crowd, making a beeline for us, extending a hand in
greeting from afar. Interestingly, by his side was the event's female host!
Catherine was not pleased, "What the hell is this? Changing his partner on the spot? He's moving too
fast, isn't he? The audacity!"
I pulled her back a bit, saying, "Shh... let him make a fool of himself."
"Do you know her?" Catherine asked me.
"The host?" I replied, "Do you know her?"
"Hah... know her?" Catherine scoffed, "Of course I do! I was too caught up with Olivia earlier, forgot to
give you the rundown on her. She's a TV host from Goldenvale Town, goes by Renata. Quite the drama
queen! There was a scandal about her a while back, just got swept under the rug, and here she is
stirring things up again. She really has no shame!"
"What's the story?" I asked Catherine in a hushed voice.
"You haven't heard about her affair?" Catherine seemed surprised, "You really don't keep up with the
gossip, do you?"
"Who has time for that, constantly stirring the gossip pot to make a living? I don't have that sort of time!"
I retorted, slightly annoyed.
"Hey! If you had the time to dig into this matter, you'd know. She made quite a spectacle of herself.
Apparently her dress went viral, even had a flash sale! People joked it was the 'mistress cloth'!"
Catherine revealed, making me wish I could look it up right then and there to understand this drama
queen.
"What kind of values are these?" I complained, sure it wasn't anything good.
Catherine looked in the direction of Renata and Jaylan, " Birds of a feather flock together!"
"Seems they've been in cahoots for a while!" I noted, casting a glance at Renata.
Catherine turned to me, scrutinizing, "You're just going to see him flirting with that bitch?"
"Let him. Whoever starts the fire gets burned. You have to give him the opportunity, right?" I reassured
her, "We just need to keep our distance to avoid getting scorched."
Upon hearing my nonchalant response and calm expression, Catherine finally relaxed, "Let's just watch
the drama then! As long as you're not upset, I'm at ease!"
"Right, there are still people who won't stand for this!" I added quietly, noticing Geneva's figure among
the crowd.
Tonight was indeed a celebration. Even the higher-ups were in attendance with their wives.
In such a setting, anyone who dared to challenge the status quo would face backlash. I was curious to
see the consequence of Renata's impatience.
