Chapter 266 Fashion Design Exhibition
By the time Fric and Kate returned to Summer Estate, it was already very late.
Even so, Betty had prepared a table full of dishes waiting for them, as neither Kate nor Eric had eaten dinner.
After eating and drinking to their fill, Kate lazily nestled into Eric’s arms. While gently poking his abs, she curiously asked. “Why did Scott say that we forced Lana to jump off the building?
Eric had Kate in his arms and a laptop on his lap, his fingers quickly tapping on the keyboard. Hearing her question, he paused for a moment and calmly said. “He’s trying to shift the blame.”
He wanted to take action against Lana, but before he could, Lana had already jumped from the building and fell so tragically.
The most important thing was…
A hint of anger flashed in Eric’s eyes.
Jumping off the building was one thing, but she scared Kate!
How could Scott have the nerve to blame them for this? He hadn’t even gotten around to blaming Lana for scaring his Kate by jumping
Kate’s little face scrunched up like a bun as she muttered. “Even though Lana is really annoying and has never liked me, always going against me, she’s not the type to jump off a building so easily. She’s afraid of death”
“Even when the Sadler Group went bankrupt and she had to work as a waitress at a Western restaurant, she didnt think about dying. Suddenly jumping off a building is really strange.”
She rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. It seemed like everything was happening all at once lately.
Sadler Group went bankrupt and was liquidated, Simon died, Ruth got pregnant and was temporarily released on bail, and Lana jumped off a building.
Eric looked down at Kate’s scrunched–up face, reached out, and gently smoothed her brow. In a soft voice, he said, “All right, Kate. Don’t overthink much about it.”
He paused for a moment. His eyes deep as he looked at Kate, and with a slight smile, he said. “There’s an international fashion design exhibition in Krusada in five days. Want to go check it out?”
“Hmm?”
Kate was a bit surprised. “A fashion design exhibition? How come I didn’t know about it?”
With a hint of confusion in her eyes, she quickly took out her phone and searched for it. There was indeed such an event, but it seemed to be recently organized,

time. The next fashion design exhibition was three months later, in Maridonia.
Could it be that in her previous life, this exhibition was organized at the last minute, so Ruth and her group didn’t get in and didn’t boast about it to her?
The organizers originally planned to hold it next month, but for some unspeakable reason, it was moved up to five days from now,” Eric said with a smule.
“Do you want to go”
“Yeah!” Kate responded without hesitation.
A talented designer naturally wanted to progress by exploring more and meeting more people. This opportunity was one Kate couldn’t miss.
She paused and looked eagerly at Eric. “Will you come with me?”
Eric’s expression turned apologetic. “Sorry, Kate. I have other matters to attend to and can’t accompany you. But I’ve already informed Hendrick, and he’ll go with you.”
Kate’s eyes widened in delight. “Hendrick will go with ine
Eric’s gaze softened. Yes. The flight is tomorrow night, and your tickets are already booked.”
Kate stared at Eric in surprise and furrowed her brows suddenly. “Tomorrow night? So soon?”
It seemed Eric had already booked their tickets without mentioning the fashion design exhibition to her beforehand.
“To get familiar with the surroundings in advance.
Before Eric could say anything else, Hendrick’s call came through,
Kate sat up straight and answered Hendrick’s call, her face lit up with a smile.
Eric sat quietly beside her, silently watching. In his deep, dark eyes, all that reflected was her silhouette.
