Female Novel
Chapter 175
Catherine's POV
Gina gritted her teeth and said, "To be honest, I'm so jealous of you. I wish I were dead at first, but thenI gradually accepted the reality. Instead of crushing me, what happened makes me stronger. Catherine,everything you have now is only temporary. I believe that he will lose interest in you and leave yousoon."
"Are you done? I have to work." I had enough of her. Besides, I was so busy. My time was veryprecious. I had no intention of being cursed by her.
Gina shuddered and said anxiously, "I want to make a deal with you!"
I looked at her. "What right do you have to make a deal with me?"
Gina immediately chested out and said, "I know the previous owner of your necklace."
I said coldly, "Well, name it. What do you want?"
"I would like to attend the early winter launch the Chavez Group is holding this time," Gina stated herrequest.
I looked at her with a cold smile. I said, "Really? You think so highly of yourself. I thought you despiseus. I'm surprised that you want to be at our company's launch."
Gina's face turned pale at my mockery. Her tone carried a trace of anger as she said, "I'm not here tobeg you. I told you, I'm here to make a deal."
"Then show me what you've got. Let me see whether it is worth trading for." I curled my lipsdisapprovingly.
"I can let you have part of the information now if you agree to this and set me up with an important part.I'll give you more inside scoop after the launch," Gina said, keeping her head up.
I had to admit that I'd always been haunted by my unknown origins. I even began to have dreamsabout finding my birth parents and living happily with them, taking my kids to their place for dinner.
Recently, I hadn't had much time to do this.
"OK. Can you show me the information now?" I nodded.
I thought about it carefully. Gina's appearance, in fact, might work in my favor. After all, Gina used to bevery popular. Though I didn't know why she wanted to show up this time, the deal felt right to me.
Only then did Gina take out a photo from her handbag.
She pushed the photo in front of me, and I picked it up to look at once. Sure enough, I saw an obsidiannecklace exactly like mine.
Yet it seemed to have been kept in a special place, because it was enclosed by a glass box.
"Where did you get this photo?" I asked excitedly.
Gina raised her eyebrows. "What is it? You can't wait? I won't say anything else for now. I'll tell youmore after the launch."
"Gina, you'd better not lie to me, or you'll see what happens." I was excited, but I was also afraid that Iwould fall into Gina's trap again. She wasn't a woman to be trusted.
Gina's eyes flashed with a trace of fear as I stared at her sternly.
She looked up slightly and said, "Don't worry. I won't lie to you."
"Fine. I'll arrange a show for you." I calmed down.
"That is not enough. I need attention. Tell you what? Let me sing a song with Leo, and we'll call it adeal." Gina was so ambitious and greedy, and she had no intention of hiding it. She didn't have to,anyway.
"You wish. I can't boss Leo around. I might not be able to help you." Gina wanted too much, whichupset me.novelbin
"You can help me, that's for sure. Your company is the organizer this time, and Leo is King Blake'syounger brother. I'm sure Leo will do it even just for the sake of King Blake. I think it'll be easy for you todo me a favor, right?" Gina didn't want to give in.
I stared at the photo on the desk, frowned, and pondered for a while. Finally, I compromised.
"Alright, I'll try my best to let him sing with you. But I don't get to decide whether Leo is willing to do it ornot. If he says no, I can only arrange something else for you. Maybe I'll let you have the opening song."
"Catherine, you won't let me down, will you? I'm sure you want to find your birth parents, so, you'dbetter listen to me before you ruin our deal," Gina said.
And then Gina left on her high horse.
I took the photo and looked at it carefully. The photo was taken using some sort of special technique,and therefore the background of the photo was very blurred. On the contrary, the necklace washighlighted.
So, if I knew the owner of this necklace, I could know who my birth parents were.
I had mixed feelings. I was longing and sad at the same time.
I put the photos in my purse. What else did Gina know?
I hoped her answer wouldn't let me down.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. I was still very busy every day. At three o'clock in theafternoon, I received a phone call from a strange woman.
"Hello, Ms. Wyatt. I am the Chavez Pack's doctor. King Blake has arranged for me to help you. Can wefix a time to meet?"
I was stunned and then realized that I needed to see a doctor.
"Sure. It's up to you. I am OK." I whispered.
"How about tomorrow afternoon? I'll send you the address, and you can come to me tomorrowafternoon."
"Sure thing. Thanks!" I said politely and hung up.
Then I looked up and saw Melinda. I smiled at her and said, "Melinda, what's up?"
"Catherine, you've been so busy these days. Let's go out for dinner tonight. Can you bring your kids? Ibought them gifts, but I haven't had a chance to see them!" Melinda said.
"Of course." I knew Melinda had been curious about my kids. I smiled and said, "I'll let Blake know."
"Great! I'll go and book a table!" Melinda soon left after finishing speaking.
