Chapter 274

But now, seeing Zack defending Katherine in this manner made Chloe extremely disheartened.

Looking at Natalie, who was standing next to her, Chloe whispered in a determined voice, "Don’t worry,
Natalie.I'll make sure you'll get my brother back!"

Natalie's reputation was already tainted at this point.

Not long ago, the entire Internet cybernauts witnessed how she apologized to Katherine and confessed
about her devious scheme, making her a laughingstock in the circle.

However, Chloe disliked Katherine, so even though Natalie's actions were directed against Katherine,
since Natalie and she were best friends, Chloe would naturally choose to help Natalie.

Natalie hastily shook her head, afraid that others might hear Chloe's remarks.

As if reprimanding Chloe, Natalie said, "What happened between Mr.Colburn and I were in the past,
Chloe."

Of course, she really wanted to chase Zack, but Nelson informed her that Zack was the one who forced
her to apologize on the internet.

Because of what had happened the last time, Natalie had already become a complete joke.

Wouldn't that make her even more shameless if others heard what Chloe stated so casually? Chloe
angrily replied, "Don't say that, Natalie; my brother is just temporarily fascinated by Katherine, that
coquettish bitch!"

Natalie disguised her raging emotions by lowering her eyes.

Maintaining her facade, Natalie continued to berate Chloe.



"Don't say that about Miss Wilson; I've now realized how I misunderstood her before!"

Chloe frowned and said in a voice full of emotions, "Natalie, you are so naive! That Katherine is vicious;
look at my brother and me; she has made us so miserable! Now, because of her, my brother has
repeatedly warned my mother and me not to provoke her! Ha! Who wants to provoke that bitch?!"

Upon hearing this, Natalie had not expected Zack to be so protective of Katherine.

In her heart, she was even more envious, but on the surface, she always spoke for Katherine,
admonishing whatever negative things Chloe had to say.

In the end, Chloe was even a bit enraged.

Liam came over as soon as Katherine and Zack entered.

"I just heard you were stopped outside the entrance," Liam said to Katherine, his tone quite apologetic.

"It's nothing; I forgot to bring my invitation," Katherine casually replied.

When Liam learned about this, he was furious.He couldn't help but coldly say, "So they all ignored my
words? I told them earlier that you are my distinguished guest.Who gave them the courage to bar you
from entering?!"

Liam scowled.

Though his voice was not loud, anyone in the vicinity could hear him clearly.

After that, Liam glanced at Zack and expressed his gratitude.

"Mr.Colburn, it's been a long time since I've met you.Katherine is a friend of mine, and I heard you
brought her in.Thank you."



Liam's words not only helped Katherine express her gratitude, but they also highlighted that Katherine
had a special relationship with him.

The people present were all intelligent.

Liam was known for having lots of girlfriends, but they had never heard of him having female friends.

When he stated this, the quests around him shifted their gaze to Katherine, looking at her closely.

This Childe of Smith Real Estate Company had always possessed a haughty demeanor.He always
boasted how all of his girlfriends was the one serving him.

It was the first time they'd ever seen him so jittery when protecting someone.

Who was this Katherine, anyway? Of course, she was Zack's ex-wife! When Katherine attended the
party, she was halted at the door.

Zack happened to be passing by and accompanied her in.

Not long after, Liam rushed over to help Katherine clarify things and apologized to Zack on her behalf.

There were a lot of tidbits today, and it was even a little ambiguous.

Zack glanced at Katherine in the corner of his eye.She was dressed ina white strapless gown with a
fitted suit on the outside.She looked so immaculate yet enticing.

But when she looked at him, her charming eyes were cold.

He also noticed that Katherine hurried straight to Liam's side as soon as Liam arrived.



Zack felt as if a dagger had lodged against his heart, making it seem so difficult for him to even
breathe, Zack's eyes darkened slightly.

He drew his attention away from Katherine and looked at Liam as though he was declaring war.

"I can’t listen to other people talk negative things about Katherine since she's the one I like." Zack
paused for a while and gave Katherine a loving smile.

"It would be painful for me."

As soon as Zack said this, the onlookers immediately burst into an uproar.

Apparently, they were all caught off guard by what Zack had said.

Even Sean almost couldn't stop himself from applauding.

Zack was so incredible that even if he didn't make a sound, he would still amaze the world! But now,
look at how flirty he was!
