Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 72 

This time, Oliver saw her.

He grabbed the bouquet and ran in front of her car to stop her.

When she saw Oliver, Katherine couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

She lowered the window of her car to face him.

"What are you doing here, Mr.Collins? Is there something wrong? " she asked, puzzledly looking at him.

He sincerely responded, "I was too rude to you the other day, and I came here to apologize"

"Tsk." she clicked her tongue in disbelief.

Only now had she met a man who would bring a bunch of red roses into someone's house just to apologize.

"No need to do that, Mr.Collins.It does not offend me in the least.If there's nothing else, then please move aside.I'm going in."

Katherine said with a smile.

The gate was already open.

Katherine's car had stopped in front of it and was about to drive in, but she was stopped by Oliver.

"Since it's still early, how about having a dinner together?" he suggested as he peeked through his fairly expensive watch.

That didn't escape Katherine's sight.

She was familiar with the watch.

It was Clement's classic mechanical wristwatch.

It cost more than two million dollars and was almost as expensive as her car.

She knew what he was up to.

In Katherine's opinion, these tricks were as ludicrous as a child boasting about how many toys he owned.

And she was not the type who would fall for such a ruse.

"No, I don't want to go out for dinner.” she instantly declined.

Oliver was thick-skinned, so he didn't mind Katherine's refusal and urged her again.

"Then, can I bother you and come in to your house to have some water? I'm feeling thirsty" Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The smile on Katherine's face gradually faded.

"Water supply in my house, for now, was turned off"

Katherine seemed to be getting annoyed.

"Then, I'll order a drink and ask the delivery guy to bring it over.Do you mind if I go in and take a sit?" he continued to insist.

"I do mind, '' she bluntly stated.She disliked wasting her time on such pointless conversation.Katherine opened the door and stepped out of the car.She lifted her finger and pointed at her car.

"Mr.Collins, I assume you recognize this car, right?"she asked as she looked at him with indifference.

"Yes, I do!"he proudly exclaimed.

"This is the latest edition of Ferrari that was auctioned last year.It's limited edition, and there are only a total of 100 models sold around the world, and each one costs more than 3.2 million dollars!"

Katherine let out a small grin and nodded.

"Are you also aware how much each house costs here at Y City?"

"I don't know much about the house prices here, but I have heard that the average price is 18 million.Your house is closer to the lake.This should cost 50 million, am I correct?"

Oliver thought he understood what Katherine was trying to express.

He then began to brag, "I see...do you like cars or houses? If so, I can give them to you”

Even though 50 million dollars was a large sum of money, it would be worth it if it meant getting Zack's ex-wife.

Katherine's brows furrowed.

"You misunderstood me, Mr.Collins.You may not know, but I bought this car and house myself"

Oliver was stunned for a moment.

He'd be a complete moron if he didn't fully grasp what Katherine was trying to imply.

He felt his cheeks heat up as he remembered how he looked when he tried to show off his watch to her.

Everyone in the business world, however, was aware that Zack's ex-wife had left the house when they got divorced.

He couldn't believe that she could afford to buy this villa herself.

Katherine knew what he was thinking, so she continued to speak.

"This villa is nothing, I can afford ten more houses like this, if I do say so myself? she snorted coldly.

"So, Mr.Collins, I advise not to waste any more time on me.Because it will only make you look like..."

She paused for a second.

Her peach-blossom eyes curved up, and she appeared charming yet cold at the same time.

"Like you're asking to be humiliated."

Every word she said was like a slap to Oliver's face.

"Ms.Katherine, don't be so shameless! We all know where your money comes from.You shouldn't think highly of yourself just because Zack gives you his money!" he finally snapped in anger.

Katherine frowned.

She was about to say something but was interrupted by the sound of a beeping car from their side.

She glanced over unconsciously.

The headlights were a little too bright, so she raised her hand to block the light.

The door of the car was pushed open, and in the next second, Zack walked out from it.

Katherine was taken aback for a second.

She looked at Zack, who slowly but surely, approached her.

Needless to say, she was a little confused.

"What's the problem here?" he butted in.

Zack took a glance towards Oliver, who was so enraged that his face was almost turning red.

"When did Mr.Collins began pursuing women using force?" he asked in a rigid tone.

Since he was a child, Oliver had always been compared to Zack.

He used to get irritated because he knew he couldn't compete with him.

As time went by, he started to recognize the difference between him and Zack, so he chose to be tactful when Zack was around and walked away whenever they met.

Katherine piqued his interest, partly because she was Zack's ex-wife.

Oliver believed that Zack wasn't the type of man who could ever get a hald of a woman such as Katherine.

So, because he was an insecure man, wouldn't it be triumphant if he were to win his ex-wife over? Now that Zack was here, Oliver couldn't help but turn pale.

"You're the one who likes to use force!"

Oliver retorted, "How could I hurt such a delicate lady like Ms.Wilson? When did I use force to pursue her?"

Oliver stuffed the bouquet of roses into Katherine's hand.

"I'll go first, Ms.Wilson.I'll contact you some other time.” Oliver returned to his car and drove away after he said that.
