Chapter 240

Katherine debated whether or not she should wear a scarf after changing her clothes.

Although the weather was beautiful today, the wind was extreme.

When she turned around, her clothes accidentally knocked the bag she had placed on the shoe rack.

The bag then fell to the ground, revealing a familiar jewelry box.

Katherine was stunned for a while.

As she looked closely, she instantly remembered why this jewelry box was so familiar to her.

How could it not be? This was where she put that necklace before placing it in her bag.

In fact, Katherine initially prepared this necklace for Alice as a wrap-up gift for congratulating her after
finishing her shooting, but who would have thought that Amelia would steal it and eventually sell it.

Though Katherine planned to look for it again, she didn't expect this necklace to come back on its own.

Katherine bent over and picked up the box.

Sure enough, when she opened it, she discovered that the stolen necklace was inside.

She clicked her tongue and raised her brows.

‘Unbelievable.Will the missing necklace turn up on its own?’ she meaningfully thought, though she
could guess who took such pain to get this necklace back.

Although Zack didn't tell her, Katherine was sure that he was the one who found the missing necklace
and discreetly put it inside her bag.

As for how he found it, he was probably the only one who knew.



This necklace was a limited-edition Camellia series, with only fifty pieces in total, so it was pretty
challenging to get it.

Celine was able to acquire one after contacting several people.

Strictly speaking, Zack couldn't possibly get another one in such a short amount of time.

So, the only possibility left was that this necklace was the same as the one Katherine intended to gift to
Alice.

Katherine flipped the inner buckle of the necklace.She looked for a number written on it to confirm its
batch number.

Katherine could guess from the inscription that this was the thirty-fifth necklace in the series.

Looking closely, she could see and trace a "0.350" on it with her fingers.

Katherine took the bag from the ground as she held the jewelry box with the necklace in it.

Flipping its cover, she contemplated whether or not to return it to Zack.

Although the necklace was initially hers, after Amelia sold it, it went missing.

For Zack to find it in such a short period of time, Zack probably spent a lot of money to get it back.

On the other hand, Alice had been eyeing this necklace for quite some time.

Even after contacting several people, Alice wasn't able to purchase it.

So, after Katherine managed to acquire it with great difficulty, she'd intended to surprise Alice with it.

Hence, now that Katherine got this necklace back, she was reluctant to return it to Zack.



As if arriving at a conclusion, she helplessly thought, ‘Forget it, forget it.Treat it as though I owe Zack a
favor’

In the end, Katherine had no choice but to choose Alice's happiness.

As she sighed heavily, Katherine couldn't help but think in exasperation, ‘Who asked Alice to be so
fascinated with this necklace?’

Katherine was worried about losing the necklace again, so she immediately placed it in the jewelry
cabinet, not planning to take it out.Since it was past nine in the morning, she had completely missed
the rush hour.

As a result, Katherine arrived at the Silverlight Entertainment Building without difficulty, taking less than
twenty minutes as there were only a few cars on the road.

Katherine paid the parking fee and walked into the building holding her bag.

The Production Department was having a meeting today to discuss the adaptation of the three novels
they reviewed yesterday.

At first, Katherine had no intention of attending it, but since she was already here, she decided to
participate.

The meeting was only concluded at half-past eleven, so when Katherine came out, it was already
lunchtime.

Gabrielle followed Katherine out of the conference room.

As she noticed the time, Gabrielle couldn't help but ask, "Miss Wilson, what do you want to have for
lunch?"



Katherine smiled as she looked at her.

"There's no need to worry; I'll take care of it myself"

After that, she switched the subject.

With a frown on her face, Katherine asked, "That type of novel is quite appealing now to the market,
right?"

Was it because she was unable to keep up with time? Gabrielle was flustered as she nodded and
explained, "At present, this kind of novel is a current trend in the market, so we could guarantee that it
will yield us a good return on our investment"

Katherine frowned slightly.

"Then, what's the point of making such a huge amount of investment if it's only based on such
assurance?"

Hearing such a strong opinion from Katherine, Gabrielle, no matter how oblivious she was, understood
that Katherine was dissatisfied with the books she had picked.

She then carefully asked, "Then, what do you intend to do, Miss Wilson?"

Katherine shook her head and solemnly said, "These three books won't do.Our job is to make an
adaptation, so we must focus on successfully turning the novel into a movie.We can't just take
advantage of the popularity of the original novels to earn easy money.Also, we need to pay attention to
the quality of our adaptation to attract more people and make a promising revenue.And to achieve that,
we have to find the best novels with interesting plots and protagonists."

Gabrielle nodded after she heard Katherine's explanation.



She sincerely said, "I understand, Miss Wilson."

Katherine begrudgingly finished the three novels yesterday.

Although she could say that the plot was good, it lacked any distinctive quality, so it was not that
impactful.

It was simply a dream if they were aiming for an adaptation that would later become a hit.

Katherine paused on her way to the door and smiled at Gabrielle, who looked terrified.

"What are you scared of? I don't eat people" Katherine playfully said to ease Gabrielle.

Gabrielle was embarrassed at her decision regarding this matter, but as she got her senses back, she
declared in a determined voice, "Forgive me, Miss Wilson.Next time, I won't let you down."

Katherine smiled and nodded at her.

"All right, tell me what you want to eat for lunch, and I'll treat you"

Caught off guard by Katherine's sudden offer, Gabrielle was so happy that she could not react for a
moment.

Then, as she gazed at Katherine, she spoke in a trembling voice, as if she couldn't contain her
excitement.

"I...I am okay with eating anything.Just order what you want to eat, Miss Wilson"

Katherine amusedly chuckled at Gabrielle's reaction.

"Then, I won't be modest."



Gabrielle hurriedly nodded, still trying to maintain her composure in front of Katherine.

"Okay."

But on the inside, she couldn't help but squeal.

Who would have thought that someday, she would have the opportunity to eat with her idol from high
school to university! Gabrielle was so delighted that she felt like she was on cloud nine!
