Chapter 257

Zack growled in a warning tone, "Thalia!"

They were all from the same circle, so naturally, they knew that one could never say anything directly
no matter what happened.

Thalia could say this without reservation because she believed Katherine didn't have the same
background as them.

As such, Thalia didn't see the need to have a superficial relationship with Katherine.

Hearing Zack's blatant warning, Thalia's momentum weakened a little.

Still, she was adamant about expressing her opinion.

"Did I say anything wrong? If she genuinely wants to leave you, she should stay away from Y City, get
a job, and marry someone who is her equal! But no! She's deliberately attracting your attention every
day, and you are falling for it, Zack.Even if you can't see that she’s only playing hard to get."

"Only playing hard to get?"

Katherine's voice echoed in an incredulous tone.

After that, she sarcastically laughed while looking at Thalia.

Then, as she turned to Zack, she asked, emphasizing each word, "Zack, do you recall what I asked
Mr.Hall to tell you on the day of our divorce?"

Not waiting for Zack to speak, Katherine continued, "It doesn't matter if you don’t remember it because
I do."

Katherine stopped for a bit before clearly repeating the words she'd said that day.



"I said, to avoid misunderstandings, we should treat each other as strangers when we meet again in
the future."

Shaking her head, Katherine said in a firm tone, "And not once did I not follow the words I've spoken
that day."

At this point, Katherine sighed before she continued, "I didn't anticipate that someone would think
otherwise and believe that I was only playing hard to get and wouldn't even let you go, Zack.Maybe
Miss Price is right.I should marry someone who is my equal, someone who's worthy of me.But you,
Zack..."

Katherine scoffed, her expression turning frigid, "You are simply not worthy of me."

Although the corridor was empty and her voice was not loud, it was still quite impactful to the two
groups of people present.

So, the words which were spoken in a soft and gentle manner were loud enough for everyone to hear
clearly.

Sean couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard Katherine say those words.

If it hadn't been for the awkward yet frigid atmosphere, Sean would probably rush towards Katherine
and give her a thumbs up while yelling, "Awesome!"

For Sean, after being friends with Zack all these years, this was the first time he'd heard a woman
declare that Zack wasn't worthy of her.

After witnessing such a fervent exchange, Sean was thrilled and stunned at the same time.

And obviously, he wasn't the only one who had a similar reaction.



Even Thalia, who despised Katherine so much, was caught off guard by Katherine's unrestrained
remark.

While looking at Katherine, Thalia thought in disdain, ‘This woman, how could she say such shameless
words without even blinking?’

As if Katherine didn't notice their reactions, she indifferently walked past Zack and stopped beside
Thalia after she'd finished saying that.

Katherine snorted after she met Thalia's eyes.

"Thank you for reminding me, Miss Price, that I should definitely find a man worthy of me."

Deeply angered by Katherine's nonchalant behavior, Thalia yelled, "Katherine Wilson, how shameless
can you be?!"

Katherine didn't even react and only averted her gaze before she walked away.

Katherine left in an unhurried manner.

Nonetheless, Thalia stood there watching Katherine's retreating figure, unable to feel the happiness
that she'd anticipated once Katherine left.

As she thought about it, Thalia then realized why.

Katherine didn't appear to be running away or flustered.

It was more like she was leaving with an arrogance that belonged to a queen that just won in her own
battle.

Charles frowned and turned to face Zack, who was wearing a cold yet hurt expression.



He asked Zack in a serious tone, "Are you not going to chase after Katherine?"

Zack only gave Charles a sidelong glance after hearing Charles' remarks.

Sean, however, didn't have the patience and shook him, hurriedly saying, "Zack, listen to me.There will
be no future between the two of you if you don't chase her now!"

Being ruthlessly shaken by Sean, Zack appeared to regain his senses at this point, raising his leg to
chase Katherine in the direction she had gone to.

Upon seeing this, Sean breathed a sigh of relief.

Honestly, after having a handful of interactions with Katherine, he was starting to believe that, aside
from her, there was no one else who deserved Zack.

Although what Thalia said just now was too harsh, they, too, had an unfavorable impression of
Katherine before she married Zack and up until they divorced.

At that time, they assumed that Katherine didn’t deserve to be married to Zack because Sean and the
others heard Katherine say something on a video recording that made them think negatively of her.

But after Katherine and Zack divorced, it was as if the clouds parted, and they could see more clearly
what kind of person Katherine was.

They then realized that the woman they always accused of being cunning or scheming was merely
someone who wanted to marry the guy she had admired for ten years.

Perhaps Katherine's coldness toward them stemmed from the fact that they were once someone like
Thalia, who judged her without first getting to know her.
