Chapter 188

"Oh, thank you, but I can't accept this.You can keep and use this gift card later.You are young, and you
have many friends.Let your friends visit our beautiful C City instead? the security guard humbly
replied.” Katherine slightly smiled and placed it on the chair in front of the security guard.

"I have a lot of this.I can't use it all.It would just be wasted."

"Oh, okay” the security guard affirmed.Katherine said no more and took the security guard's gift with
her inside the complex.Building C was located in the southern part of the complex, so Katherine
needed to walk for a while to get there.

Katherine pulled her scarf around her neck tighter because the wind was strong during the evening.

She was slowly walking when a female voice called her out of nowhere, "Are you Katherine Wilson?"

The person in front of her was not a stranger.

Katherine and her family had lived next door to each other for the past eighteen years.

Despite the fact that they hadn't seen each other in nearly ten years, Katherine instantly recognized
her.She suddenly stopped and greeted her, "Aunt Linda, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, Katherine! I haven't seen you in almost ten years.You haven't changed; you're still
beautiful, dear.Do you have a place here, too?" Linda asked.

Katherine shook her head and replied, "No, Auntie.But my friend lives here"

"Oh! You're turning twenty-six this year, right? Are you married? Do you have a child?" Linda
interrogated.

The neighborhood wasn't horrible, but it did have all of the typical neighborhood problems like gossips.



"Oh, Aunt Linda, I would really love to stay here and chat, but my friend is already waiting for me.I need
to go now."

"Hey! Give me your contact number.It doesn't matter if you are not married.I have a nephew who has
just graduated this year.Let me introduce you to him; Linda insisted.However, Katherine ignored her
and continued to get away from there as far as possible.”

Linda murmured to herself, "Why is she like that? She's already twenty-six years old and still hasn't
gotten married! She's like an impudent girl that no one seems to care about!"

"Hello, Ma'am" a deep voice greeted her from behind.

Linda was on her way to put out the trash earlier, and she didn't expect to meet her old neighbor's
daughter, Katherine.

Now, there was a handsome stranger in front of her.

Linda would have assumed the other person was a robber if it hadn't been for the fact that the man in
front of her was quite handsome.

"Hello, and you are?" Linda asked.

"I am Katherine's husband.." Zack paused.

Out of the four options that he had, whether he was her ex-husband, a suitor, her boyfriend, or her
husband, he couldn't believe that he decisively chose the husband part.

"Oh, so Katherine has married after all!" Linda exclaimed.

When Linda realized what she had just said, she got a little embarrassed, "I didn't mean to say that.It
was just that my mouth was uncontrollable sometimes, and I say irrelevant things!"



Zack nodded and slipped his wallet out of his pocket, emptying all of the money within, saying, "I'm not
here to argue with you.I just want to learn more about Katherine from you."

Charles had done some research on Katherine, but it wasn't particularly thorough.

It seemed as if someone assisted Katherine in concealing her situation, to the point where he only
knew her parents died in a car accident during her freshman year at the university.He had no idea how
much he still didn't know.

However, just earlier, when he saw the expression on Katherine's face when she received the security
guard's gift, his heart seemed to be moved by something.

That something gave him a slight pang in his heart.

Linda looked at the stack of money in Zack's hand and glared, "Okay, fine! Here's what you need to
know.Katherine and I have been neighbors for more than ten years.But I don't know anything about
their family!"

Zack responded patiently, "Well, I just need you to tell me anything that you know about her parents'
accident"

For Linda, what Zack was asking was not simple, but she still offered, "Well, you came to the right
person then! That day, I just happened to..."
