Chapter 13

It was very rare for Katherine to stay idle.She didn't intend to do anything.

But after two days of lying down, Alice forced her to attend a dinner party.

She had just entered the venue and was looking for any sign of Alice when she met someone she
knew very well.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Isn't this my sister-in-law? Oh, wait.I forgot! you are no longer my sister-in-law!"

Chloe's high-pitched voice attracted the attention of the people around them.

Katherine remained calm and looked at her indifferently.

"Chloe, is something wrong?"

"Nothing at all.I'm curious, though, how did you get invited? Today's party was only for famous
people.You gold-digger, who did you come with?"

Y City may not be a large city by standard, nor was it small, and the people comprising it may come
and go, but there are still people who are remained.

The people who came to this kind of dinner party were basically from the upper circle.

In other words, the wealthy and famous ones.

The people who were watching Katherine make a blunder of herself were mostly the same people who
had treated her badly in the past three years.

As the eldest daughter of the Colburn family, Chloe had a lot of influence among the socialites.

She was the one who led them to reject people that she thought were beyond them.



Many of her followers were people who wanted to curry favor with the Colburn family.

Katherine let out a laugh.She raised her hand and pointed to Alice behind Chloe.

"Then you might have to ask Alice Jensen"

Alice had attracted a lot of attention as soon as she entered.

She was the spokesperson for today's event.

She wore jewels of different designs and sizes that complemented her wine-colored long dress.

Alice looked dazzling and regal.

From afar, Alice saw Katherine surrounded by people led by Chloe.

Even from where she stood, she could still hear how Chloe insulted Katherine.

Alice was so angry that her face turned red.

She walked with her four-inch high heels and pushed through the crowd to reach Katherine.

Alice put herself in front of Katherine and gave Chloe a chilling look.

"Chloe! It's not time for gossiping!"

Alice's words doused Chloe like cold water, and the latter's face turned pale.

She wanted to say something but remembered that Alice was a first-rate star and the spokesperson of
the jewelry brand showcased today.

The brand itself wouldn't drive Alice away.



Additionally, there had been rumors that Alice had a great sponsor behind her.

The rumors had been circulating for so long, but no one could dig up additional information about it.

Chloe could not afford to offend Alice, so she glared at Katherine instead.

‘How did Katherine get close to Alice?’ Katherine glanced at Chloe with a slight smile on her face.

She swept her gaze across the surprised faces of the people around for one last look.

Then, she picked up a glass of grape juice and turned to leave.

Alice followed behind her.

She was still wearing a cold facade that no one dared to strike up a conversation as she moved along
between the crowd.

Katherine went to a quiet corner to rest.

She clicked her tongue and said, "Not bad.You can really scare people!"

When she was sure no one was looking, Alice's cold facade melted away to a smile.

She asked, "Why are you dressed so plainly today?"

Katherine was wearing a simple black slim dress.

Her long hair was let loose and draped down her back.

Other than a pair of diamond earrings, she wore no other accessories on her body.

Alice, on the other hand, was wearing a simple off-shoulder wine-colored long dress.



It may not be the most gorgeous dress at that party, but the diamond necklace on her neck paired with
the tassel earrings on her ears looked gorgeous on her.

Katherine gave Alice a side-way glance as she drank a mouthful of grape juice.

Her slender brows were upturned, and a provocative smile was playing on her lips.

Alice let out a cry.

"Oh, that's unfair! Being good-looking isn't everything! Stop it! Stop looking at me like that.I don't want
people to know about us!"

Katherine knew Alice was only teasing her, so she only smiled and didn't say anything.

Alice coughed and said, "There is a display hall inside.Do you want to go take a look?"

Katherine knew Alice had always liked looking at shiny jewelry since she was a child.

Katherine smirked a little as she thought for a moment.

"Why not? I'm bored anyway.’’ The company had set up a display hall at the party.

Inside featured the new products of the season.

There were So many socialites coming tonight just to check out the display, so the event was designed
to cater to a small exhibition for the jewelry.

The jewelry showcased in the exhibition was no mere trinkets.

They were accessories that ordinary people could not afford to buy.



Looking at the display, the cheapest bracelet cost twenty-seven thousand dollars, and the lowest price
of necklaces was hundreds of thousands.

Katherine was not as enthusiastic about checking out the jewelry as Alice.

She came purely to accompany Alice.

The exhibition hall was crowded with people, and she knew that Alice wasn't too comfortable around so
many people.

Katherine watched as Alice looked at the display with controlled enthusiasm and found that Alice's
expressions were more interesting than the necklaces and bracelets on display.

"Miss Natalie, this necklace suits you well.It's practically tailor-made for you!"

Chloe's voice wasn't loud, but Katherine and Alice were only three display cabinets away from the
owner of the voice, and so they could hear her clearly.

When Alice saw Natalie, her expression turned cold once more.

She pulled Katherine over to a display case and said, "Don't you think this necklace looks good?"

Alice pointed at one of the diamond necklaces to show it to Katherine.She glanced at the necklace and
raised her brows.

"It's fine."

"Do you like it? If you like it, I will help you get one.I heard there are only three of its kind"

Katherine furrowed her brows as she lowered her head to Alice.They seemed to be speaking seriously.



After a while, Katherine whispered, "I don't like it."

Alice snorted.

"That's true.Although it looks good, I don't think it would suit you."

Between the two of them, Alice had always been the one with a calm temperament.

Just as Alice finished talking, Chloe and Natalie came over to them.

They looked at the necklace with interest.

Alice immediately pulled Katherine away and commented that the necklace was not worthy of
Katherine.

Chloe's expression turned ugly.

Just now, she was caught off guard and was insulted by Alice.

Chloe got mad and wanted to bite back.

"You can't afford it anyway, right?"

Alice stopped and turned to sneer at Chloe, "Are you telling me that I can't even pay a million-dollar
necklace?"

Chloe intended to insult Katherine, but she didn't expect that Alice would answer back.

Of course, Alice could afford such a necklace.

There was a rumor that her endorsement fee alone was more than ten million, so it wouldn't be
impossible for her to buy a one-million-dollar necklace.



"Alice, Chloe didn't mean it that way.”

"Then tell me, what did she mean?" Natalie's face stiffened.

Alice didn't back down and looked at Natalie with piercing eyes.
