SWNOVELS Chapter 52
Katherine didn't answer Zack immediately because she was hesitating.She could still feel guilty whenever she lied to people for
business, but it would be different if it were Zack.
For some reason, Zack suddenly said, "Then I'll give it to you.’
After that, his face stiffened, realizing that he was acting impulsive and rash.
So, he added, "Just treat it as compensation for our divorce’ ‘So that's what he is thinking” she thought.
Katherine's face turned cold, and she said, "No, thank you.I don't need it."
After what she said, Katherine took out her keys from her bag and unlocked the car.
With a "beep" sound, everyone around the parking lot looked over to them.
The red Ferrari was so bright and flashy, which fascinated almost everyone.
Katherine casually ignored the stares while entering her car and closed the door.
She then maneuvered her vehicle out of the parking space and left.
Sean had just finished all the procedures needed for getting the auction item.
He went out and saw Zack staring at the rear of a red Ferrari without moving.
He raised his eyebrows and asked him, "Was that Katherine?"
When Zack heard Sean, he turned his back and glanced at him coldly.
"Is it done?" Zack asked, evading Sean's question.
"Yes, Mr.Colburn.They will send the item to your home tomorrow,’’ Sean teasingly said by using honorifics to his friend.
It made Zack sneer and shortly said, "Okay.”
After that, Zack walked to his car without any emotion shown on his face.
Then, he opened his door and sat down on the driver's seat.
Sean wanted to invite him to spend their night drinking, but he didn't expect Zack not even to give him a chance to speak
because he quickly drove away.
Sean was so annoyed with Zack's attitude that he laughed.
Afterward, he returned to the car and called Charles.
"I'm not free,’’ Charles replied as soon as he picked up the phone.
‘‘Come on, every one of them was acting arrogant like they own the world!’’ Sean complained in his mind as he had no one's
company to have fun.
Less than half an hour after the auction ended, the bidding contest between Katherine and Zack became trending.
When Katherine returned to her home, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
Alice had just finished shooting for a program, so she sat in the dressing room to remove her makeup and called Katherine.
"No one bullied my Katherine earlier, right?" she immediately asked.
Katherine smiled and exclaimed, "You worry too much, Alice!"
"Of course, I'm not! I love you the most in this world.So, it's natural for me to be worried.Did Zack do something bad earlier? How
about the piano? Did you win it? If not, forget about it.It’s all theirs,’ Alice said, trying to make her feel better.
Katherine pursed her lips.
"The truth is...I'm sorry, I badly want it" she honestly replied.
Who wouldn't want money in this world? Hearing Katherine's answer, Alice was a little surprised and suggested, "Then why don't
we buy the piano from your ex-husband?"
"To tell you honestly, Zack offered to give me the piano, but he said it was for the compensation for our divorce” Katherine
mumbled and looked down at the glass of water in her hands.
"Oh, Zack still has a conscience then!" Alice remarked.
"But I refused..." she regretfully said.
"Katherine, oh my goodness! You are so incredible for turning his offer down!" Alice yelled.
She just rejected a million-dollar piano! Who would ever dare to do that?
"Honestly, I regret it a little, Katherine admitted while she massaged her temples.Of course, her pride for rejecting Zack's offer
had a price to pay.Thinking about the 15 percent shares in Florence's hands, Katherine would feel distressed.
"Since you've already made the decision and it's over...then don't cry!" Alice said.
It was one of her ways to comfort her friend.
She knew how Katherine's mind worked.
On the other hand, Katherine could still feel regret, but Alice was right.
She had made her decision.
So, she laughed as a response and said, "I know, you can hang up now.”
"Okay, I'll hang up now.Good night!"
Alice cheerily said and ended the phone call.
Before Katherine went to sleep, their good conversation cleared her thoughts.
She was in a better mood.
Therefore, it would be another night that she could sleep soundly.
