Chapter 30 I Was Stupid
“Hendrick…”
Kate’s voice trembled as she took a deep breath and whispered to Eric, “Eric, I…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard Eric’s indifferent voice, “Hmm, go ahead, don’t wander around.”
Looking at Eric with a mix of surprise and gratitude, Kate nodded heavily.
A smile then appeared on her face as she quickly walked towards Hendrick’s direction, giving him. a big hug without hesitation.
The sudden hug caught Hendrick off guard. He looked at Kate in disbelief and after a moment, hesitantly raised his hand to hug her back, his voice trembling as he said, “Kate, you’re finally making up with me?”
Hendrick’s heart was in turmoil.
Three years ago, when he refused Kate’s request to marry Simon and instead let her marry Eric, Kate had a falling out with them, even wanting to cut off ties with them. But even when she threatened to die, she couldn’t change the outcome; she still married Eric.
It was not because they were not open–minded and insisted on a business marriage, but because. Simon was not a good match. Marrying him was not a good choice.
And Eric wasn’t as terrifying as the rumors made him out to be.
But no matter how they explained, Kate did not listen. After she married Eric, she cut off contact
with them.
Heartbroken, her parents went abroad to relax, while her older brothers were busy expanding their overseas business. The Lowe Group’s business back in the nation was handed over to him.
It had been three years since he heard his sister call him by his name.
“Hendrick, it was my fault before.”
Wiping away a tear from the corner of her eye, Kate smiled and said to Hendrick.
Her gaze seemed casual, sweeping past the people around Hendrick, finally pausing for a moment on a young and beautiful woman.
The woman was dressed in a silver evening gown, standing dignified and elegant next to Hendrick, with a professional smile on her face. She exuded an air of arrogance, but when she saw Kate, a hint of mockery and disdain flashed in her eyes.
Although faint, Kate noticed it.
Chapter 30 | Was Stupid
She must be the secretary, Anna Sommers, who caused Hendrick to have a scandal.
Finished
She had only seen the photos of the scene after the incident, with the woman on the bed looking disheveled and panicked, exuding a sense of vulnerability. It was like a completely different person compared to the aloof Anna now.
“Let’s go;
let’s sit over there and talk.”
Suppressing his excitement, Hendrick took Kate’s hand and led her to a private room on the side.
Kate allowed him to pull her, and the few people who were originally talking to Hendrick also silently made way, watching Hendrick and Kate enter the private room.
As soon as they sat down, Hendrick looked at Kate with a desire to speak but stopped, as if he wanted to ask something but swallowed it silently, not knowing what to say for a while.
“Hendrick, do you want to ask me about me and Eric?” Kate lowered her voice, with a hint of a smile on her face.
Hendrick nodded gently, and then said with some helplessness, “I heard that you stabbed him; did he … not do anything to you?”
Speaking of this, Hendrick nervously scanned Kate up and down, seeing no obvious external injuries on her, he breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at her with concern.
Hendrick knew very well what kind of temper his sister had.
Kate had been pampered since childhood. She was the darling of the Lowes, inevitably displaying some spoiled princess tendencies. Although they had no contact in the three years since she married Eric, Hendrick had always quietly kept an eye on Kate and Eric.
He also knew that his sister was very lively and often clashed with Eric.
Previously, it was just minor disagreements, but this time, Kate had indeed crossed the line.
Kate looked at Hendrick earnestly and said, “Brother, I was immature before, always arguing with Eric, and even thought that Simon was the perfect man for me. But now, things have changed.”
“I have come to realize, I know how kind Eric has been to me in the past three years, he would never do anything to harm me. As for Simon… he is not trustworthy at all.”
Hendrick gazed at Kate in disbelief, slightly parting his lips.
Did she really say all that?
How did she suddenly transform into a different person, even recognizing the true nature of Simon?
