Chapter 162 
Valerie thought. What does she mean by that? 
Valerie was stunned for a moment before she came to a realization. Anger surged through her. 
In that matter, Katherine was a victim. She was simply fulfilling her duties as a bridesmaid, and some despicable men took advantage of her vulnerability to harass her. Whether from a legal or moral standpoint, the ones who deserved the most criticism were those scoundrels. 
If not for the fact that Katherine was unwilling to blow things up, Valerie would have fought those people to the end. 
Now that the incident was in the past, it was surprising to see that it still had an impact on Katherine 
Thinking of what Matthew had just said. Valerie tried her best to remain calm “Katherine, what did Caleb say 
about 
Katherine said. “Caleb said that there must have been something I did to give people the wrong idea and make them act that way towards me. He also said that as my boyfriend, he has always been faithful, but I betrayed him, and now I… am no longer as pure as before. 

“Bastard Valerie was furious 
“I actually think he shouldn’t have said such things. I feel he was too harsh, but I can’t control myself. And what he said is true. I owe him an apology” Katherine said. 
Valerie immediately interrupted Katherine, “Katherine, you’re crazy. You’re the real victim. You don’t need to apologize to anyone!” 
BUL 
At the side, Matthew suddenly appeared. 
His voice was cold as he said, “You indeed don’t owe him an apology, and he knows that. The reason he said such things is to manipulate you by taking advantage of your guilt, to achieve his own ends.” 
Matthew’s words hit Katherine like a bolt from the blue, leaving her sunned and motionless.. 
Valerie quickly took the opportunity to help Katherine up and let her sit down on the sofa. Then, she swept away the shattered porcelain glass on the ground to prevent Katherine from being hurt. 

After Valerie finished cleaning up, Katherine still seemed lost in thought, her thin figure indicating the toll the past few days had taken on her. Valerie couldn’t help but blame herself inwardly. When Katherine had claimed she was losing weight, Valerie had actually believed her. Little did she know, Katherine had been tormented by that scumbag. And yet, despite his own antics, he had the audacity to demand chastity from Katherine. It was disgusting. 
The more Valerie thought about it, the angrier she became. Unable to contain herself any longer, Valerie dashed out the door. Matthew came out of the kitchen with water just as she was entering the elevator, too fast for him to stop her. Matthew guessed she was going to find Caleb and hurried to catch up. But by the time he reached the ground floor, she had already left in a taxi. 
The landlord, seeing his furrowed brow, quickly said, “Hey, buddy, don’t worry. Your wife seems pretty gentle in character. She shouldn’t do anything rash” 
Of course, he knew that Valerie was gentle. 
But he knew better than anyone that, although she seemed gentle, in reality, she was more stubborn than anyone else, with clear distinctions. between love and hate. 
In the booth at the bar, Caleb was wearing a white suit and drinking with two exquisitely dressed noblewomen. 
Caleb was sweet talkin 
talking. He said something that made the two women laugli. 
One of the long haurd women took a sip of wine and asked curiously. “By the way, Caleb, how’s your relationship with your girlfriend? “Oh. Mildry, don’t even mention her to me! You know as well as I do, she’s juu average–looking and dull in personality throwing tantrums, and threatening suicide back then, I would never luve been with her. She’s such a disappointment, not even half as good as youı,
