CEO's Ex-wife Stunned the World

Chapter 105 Let's Stop Getting Entangled

In the Reece's house.

Katelyn called Edwin more than ten times, but no one answered.

"How is it? Did you get through?" Shayla asked anxiously.

Katelyn said dejectedly, "No, Edwin refused to answer my call."

When Shayla heard this, she became even more restless. "This is bad.

"Listen to me, go to his company to find him."

"Mom, I don't want to go there."

Shayla's face darkened. "You have no choice. You have to go. If you don't want to go alone, I will go

with you

"Let's go immediately. Go get changed."

Katelyn punched the sofa impatiently. "Mom, can you stop being like this? You are putting a lot of

pressure on me.

"I am very annoyed. Do you know that?"

Shayla said, "I am doing this because I am worried about you. If you can't marry Mr Keaton, how will our family live in the future? What will others think of you? What will they think of the Reece family?" When Katelyn heard this, she leaned back and lay on the sofa.

She was on the brink of desperation now, and there was nothing she could do.

Edwin was already indifferent to her, and she did not know what she could do to change the

situation

Less did she know how to win back his heart.

"Get up quickly. Why do I have such a useless daughter?"

"Mom, can you give me some peace for a while? My head is about to burst."

"No. It's urgent, and you still don't have a sense of crisis." Shayla stepped forward and pulled at her daughter's arm, wanting to drag her up.

Katelyn hit her head and glared at Shayla. "Mom, don't force me anymore, okay?

"If you force me, I will kill myself in front of you. This time, I'm serious."

When Shayla heard this, her heart tightened. She didn't dare to continue nagging her daughter.

"Alright. I won't force you anymore, okay?"

As Shayla spoke, she couldn't help but mutter softly, "Why am I so unlucky? Why did I give birth to such a useless daughter?"

Hearing the quarrel between the two, Dexter hurriedly came down from upstairs. "What are you two arguing about?"

Shayla rolled her eyes. "What else can we argue about?"

When Dexter heard this, he knew that they were quarreling about Katelyn's marriage. "Marriage is something predestined.

"If it is fate that they can't be wife and husband, then just let it be.

"It's not like our family can't afford to support Kate. There are so many good young men in

Philadelphia She will find a suitable husband one day."

When Shayla heard this, she was instantly enraged. "It's easy for you to say something like that, but to think it's the Keaton family. If she can marry the Keaton family, she will go up in the world. "Now that we have reached the most crucial stage, you are supposed to persuade Kate to work. harder. But look what are you doing. You are making things worse. What kind of father are you?" Dexter feared arguing with Shayla the most. Every time they quarreled, Shayla was like a battle fowl full of fighting spirit, forcing him to retreat. Dexter said, "Alright, alright, stop arguing. Let nature

take its course.

"Don't give Kate too much pressure. It's not like our family is so poor that we can't afford to support ourselves. We don't have to be eager to marry our daughter into the Keaton family..."

Before Dexter could finish speaking, Shayla had already put her hands on her waist and pointed at Dexter's nose. "Do you really think that our family has a lot of wealth? Right now, we are just using up our resources in idleness.

"You are no longer the chairman of the Reece Group. Our family has been kicked out of the Reece Group. All of our expenses now rely on that bit of dividends and rent.

"For the rest, we have to rest on our laurels. How long can it last?

"When I go to banquets with those rich ladies, they don't like to talk to me anymore. It is not until

Kate gets engaged that I'm welcomed again in their circle."

When Dexter heard this, he sighed bitterly, "Why are you always so vain? It's been so many years, but you really haven't changed at all."

Shayla was furious. She pointed at Dexter's head. "What? Do you regret marrying me now? Why

didn't you say that when you chose to be with me?

"Now that I have spent half my life with you, given birth to your children, and managed the house for you, you think I am old and not beautiful anymore. Do you have another woman outside?" Dexter retreated a few steps back and said, "What are you talking about? Don't you know how old I

am now?"

"All men are the same. As long as you can still breathe, it is impossible for you to stop thinking about women. Don't think that I don't know that you are flirting with other women behind my

back."

Katelyn was so annoyed that her head was about to explode. "Dad, Mom, can you stop arguing?"

Shayla lowered her voice. "What? Can't I argue with your father?

"In my opinion, it's all because of that bitch Julianna. If she didn't come back, there wouldn't be so much trouble in our family.

"After she came back, our family became a mess. Dexter, I told you to cut ties with her, but you

didn't listen."

Dexter was anxious and he slapped the table. "You are talking about it again. What you said is unrealistic. Julianna is my daughter. This is a fact that can never be changed in this life. "Even if I announce that I will cut off all ties with her, is she no longer my daughter?"

Shayla angrily stomped her feet. "Mr. Keaton ignores Kate. He might be together with that slut

Julianna now.

"Dexter, hurry up and call her. You should warn her not to get too close to Mr. Keaton."

"I really don't know what to say "Dexter sighed and did not dare to make a sound.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call her. It will be too late to think of a way after the two of

them get together.

"Don't forget that six years ago, it was her who snatched Edwin away."

"Don't slander Julie. What happened six years ago was not because of her."

"Why do you think it wasn't because of her? If it wasn't for her, would Mr. Keaton and Kate's marriage be delayed?"

Shayla was used to throwing a tantrum and she had her way to make Dexter listen to her.

Dexter was dejected and couldn't refute

Shayla continued, "Dexter, if Kate can't marry Mr. Keaton, what will you do?

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and make the call."

Katelyn really couldn't stand it anymore. She was even more upset. "You stay here and do whatever you want. I'll go upstairs first." As she spoke, she stood up and rushed upstairs. Dexter had no choice but to pick up the phone and call Julianna.

Beeping sounds were heard.

In the office.

Julianna was arguing with Edwin when the phone rang.

Julianna took a look and answered, "Hello, Dad, what's the matter?"

On the other side of the line, Dexter sighed dejectedly and said, "I have something to ask you."

"Dad, what is it? Just say it." Julianna was stunned.

"Have you met Edwin these past few days?"

Julianna was stunned when she heard that. She subconsciously glanced at Edwin beside her.

Edwin also heard the voice on the phone. His eyebrows sank as he listened quietly.

"Why aren't you speaking? Have you met him?"

"Dad, I..." Julianna wanted to say something, but she hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"Kate couldn't eat or sleep well these days. She has lost a lot of weight. I am really distressed to see

her like that."

"So, what do you want to say?"

Dexter paused and sighed heavily, "Kate has depression. She can't be shaken up.

"You are her sister, and you have always been strong. I still want to advise you not to get too close to

Edwin."

"Dad, I don't want to get too close to him..."

Without waiting for Julianna to finish, Edwin snatched the phone and said, "Hello, it's me."

When he heard Edwin's voice, Dexter was stunned. He subconsciously looked at Shayla. Then he asked, "Edwin, are you with Julie?"

"Yes."

Dexter didn't know what to say. Shayla also widened her eyes and held her breath to listen.

"Edwin, what is going on with you?"

"Sorry, Katelyn and I..." Edwin wanted to explain the reason to Dexter.

Hearing Edwin's tone, Julianna hurriedly pulled Edwin's sleeve, indicating that he should not say

too much.

Edwin was stunned for a moment, but he swallowed the words he was about to say.

Katelyn had depression and had just committed suicide not long ago. If he said that he wanted to break up with Katelyn, Edwin was afraid that she would not be able to stand the blow.

"We are fine. Julianna and I are talking about work. Now we have finished."

When Dexter heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. "Then, is everything okay with you

and Kate?"

Edwin was silent for a few seconds before he said, "Tell Kate that I will pick her up for dinner tonight. I have something to say to her."

"Okay."

"Then I'll hang up first."

"Okay."

Dexter sighed and hung up the phone.

"How is it? Is Edwin with that slut again?"

"They are talking about work. You are overthinking."

"Do you really believe that they are talking about work? What work do they have to talk about? A man and a woman are together in a room. Who will believe you if you say they are talking about

work?

"Julianna must be trying to seduce Edwin again."

Dexter frowned. "Stop. Edwin said he would have dinner with Kate tonight."

"Really? Then I'll hurry up and dress Kate up."

As she spoke, Shayla also went upstairs.

"Kate, hurry up and open the door.

"Mr. Keaton just said on the phone that he would pick you up for dinner tonight. Hurry up and dress

up."

Katelyn didn't believe her and replied impatiently, "Mom, don't bother me anymore."

"It's true. Why don't you believe me?

"Hurry up. You look like a mess right now. If you don't hurry up and dress up, you will scare people away when you go out."

In the office.

Edwin hung up and returned the phone to Julianna..

"Edwin, let's stop getting entangled with each other..."

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Edwin abruptly pulled her into his arms.

Edwin kissed her lips affectionately.

He held her more tightly.

He wished he and Julianna could become one.

Julianna was frightened and pushed Edwin hard.

Fortunately, Edwin only kissed her.

He didn't go any further.
