Reborn of Kate by Isla Rainfield

Chapter 334 She Is Dumb 

H noticed a change in Eric’s expression. His eyes deepened, but the mask covering most of his face concealed any trace of emotion. 

Eric glanced briefly at Erica, not responding to her words. Instead, he placed another piece on the chessboard. 

Eric played black, and H played white. 

At this moment, the black pieces dominated the board, cornering the white pieces with seemingly no escape. 

“Eric, are you even listening to me?” 

When she received no response, Erica repeated her question. There was a hint of dissatisfaction 

in her tone. 

H silently placed his piece on the board. Eric still ignored Erica’s comment. After making another move, Eric finally spoke, “Got it.” 

Hearing his reply, Erica’s face lit up with excitement. She asked. “Seriously? You’re willing to go out with me?” 

Eric frowned, casting another look at Erica. He said, “Then I won’t go.” 

“We’re heading out! We must go!” 

Erica was ecstatic as she declared, “I’ll have someone prepare the car right now. I want to show you around. You’ve been in Sagrado for so long and haven’t gone out once.” 

She was thrilled, and her face was brimming with excitement. Erica hurried off to make arrangements. 

Eric watched her leave, a mocking smile playing on his lips. 

H observed Eric’s expression and murmured, “Good tactics.” 

Eric’s eyes were calm as he looked at H. His voice was equally quiet and obscure, as he said, “She’s just dumb.” 

H nodded in agreement. 

The battle on the chessboard had reached its climax. The black pieces had cornered the white pieces, leaving them with no escape. In the end, H lost the game entirely. 

H was unaffected by the loss. He tossed his piece back into the chess box and admitted defeat, “I lost.” 

He lost gracefully, showing no signs of emotion. Instead, he looked into Eric’s

Eric disrupted the chessboard and replied nonchalantly, “Likewise.” 

The two exchanged a glance and shared a meaningful smile. 

The news that Saltoban would host a grand banquet quickly spread through the upper circles of Sagrado’s capital. This event was in celebration of Erica’s birthday, promising to be a large affair with many notable guests invited. 

As the mysterious house owner who recently moved into a top–tier villa, Kate naturally received an invitation. 

Though she had known in advance about Erica’s banquet, when she held the invitation in her hand, she still took a deep breath, a trace of longing in her eyes. 

For the past few days, she could only watch Eric through surveillance, but this banquet seemed like a perfect opportunity to see him. 

What concerned her more was that Erica planned to take Eric shopping in the afternoon. 

Kate learned about the shopping trip ahead of time by hacking into Erica’s villa’s network. She decided to head to the mall with Edward, arriving ahead of Erica. 

Her goal was simple. Kate wanted to stage an accidental encounter with Erica. 

Half an hour later, Erica had arrived at the mall with Eric and a large entourage of bodyguards. The group headed straight for the luxury section. 

Since arriving in Sagrado, Kate has studied Erica’s character thoroughly. She had been waiting in the store, pretending to browse through high–end suits and dresses, while actually timing Eric’s arrival. 

“Eric, this is the store. I think only their clothes are worthy of you!” 

Erica walked beside Eric, though they maintained a distance of two metres. 

This was the closest she could get to Eric after repeated attempts to gauge his tolerance.
