Looking at Katherine’s resentful eyes, Kevin became angry.
Just yesterday they had a big fight, and now they woke up in the same bed. What was she thinking?
Thinking this, Kevin lost all his good feelings towards Katherine.
“What’s with that expression on your face?”
Katherine was even more angry and held onto the blanket tightly as tears welled up in her eyes.
“At this point, you don’t have to pretend to be a faithful woman anymore. You look fake just looking at me.”
Kevin directly mocked Katherine with his words, making her even angrier.
“What do you mean? Are we still the ones who are losing out here?”
Katherine glared fiercely at Kevin. She couldn’t believe he would say something like that just to avoid responsibility.
“I don’t need to say who is losing out here.”
Kevin’s eyes were cold as he spoke. “You slept next to me because you wanted to scheme against me and help your family.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin was hit hard by a pillow thrown by Katherine.
“Even if I’m scheming against you, I won’t use such despicable methods,” she said firmly while throwing another pillow at him.
She was the heiress of the Maltz family; how could she stoop so low as to do something like this with Kevin?
“Don’t think too highly of yourself. What makes you think I would do something like that for your sake?” she continued angrily while glaring at him intensely.
Seeing how fierce Katherine looked made Kevin feel even more convinced of her hypocrisy.
“Stop pretending! Don’t think I don’t know what your family is thinking about. I won’t fall for it.”
Kevin looked up and down on Kathrine which made her feel ashamed.
“You scoundrel! Why are you staring?”
Then Kathrine punched Kevin’s rock-hard abs but it didn’t hurt him much.
“Don’t try these tricks again trying to please me; It won’t work,” Kevin said confidently after being punched by Kathrine.
This behavior only made Kevin more confident and left Kathrine feeling helpless.
“You slept with me, and I didn’t say anything. But now you have the audacity to lecture me? How many women has the esteemed Mr. Duncan slept with? I don’t even need to say anything, right?”
Katherine directly slapped Kevin’s face, undoubtedly making him furious and flushed.
“It’s in a man’s nature. What’s wrong with sleeping with a few more?”
Kevin’s gaze turned icy, and he glanced at Katherine. “And what about you? You have no allure whatsoever, yet you have the nerve to seduce me?”
“Are you even worthy?” Katherine glanced lightly at the lower half of Kevin. “Small and weak, average and self-assured.”
These words completely infuriated Kevin, and he stood up, overpowering Katherine. “If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll throw you out of here.”
“Try it.”
Katherine glared at Kevin viciously, her eyes filled with flames.
“Why wouldn’t I dare? Don’t think for a moment that I won’t do anything to you.”
Kevin’s eyes were as black as ink, making it impossible for Katherine to decipher his thoughts.
“You’re probably waiting for someone else’s help. In a couple of days, not only will your company collapse, but you won’t even be able to save yourself.”
Kevin was currently weak and vulnerable, while the Maltz Group was thriving. If he made a move against Katherine, his fate would undoubtedly be even more disastrous.
With this in mind, Kevin fell silent and got up.
“Get out of here. I never want to see you again.”
Katherine yelled at Kevin, her eyes filled with determination.
Kevin remained silent, put on his clothes from last night, and left.
Suddenly, the room was empty, with only Katherine left behind.
She gasped for breath, the overwhelming aura around Kevin had made it difficult for her to breathe.
After Kevin returned to the company, he received devastating news.
The Maltz Group had intensified its suppression of the Duncan Group, leaving them powerless to resist.
He pounded the desk in frustration, blaming Katherine’s words earlier that morning. She had exposed the weaknesses of the Duncan Group, leading to such a fierce attack.
Kevin even regretted why he had wasted so much time talking to her that morning.
As a result, Katherine had succeeded once again.
Watching his company deteriorate day by day, Kevin placed all his hopes on Romeo.
He clenched his fists tightly, praying for Romeo to complete the project soon.
The Maltz Group’s attacks were becoming increasingly fierce, on the verge of breaking through the final defenses of the company, and at this point, Kevin was powerless to do anything.
On the other side, at Jane’s home.
Jane had barely slept a wink all night. She was lying next to Patrick’s bed, watching his steady breathing, feeling a faint pain in her heart.
Thinking about how Patrick had struggled with Katherine last night only deepened her sorrow.
But she chose to believe in Patrick and brought him home. However, the heavy emotions weighed on her, preventing her from falling asleep. In the end, she spent the whole night watching Patrick sleep.
The first ray of morning sunlight illuminated Patrick’s sharply defined face. His fingers twitched, immediately bringing Jane back to full consciousness.
“Patrick?”
Jane called out to him, but seeing no response from Patrick, her gaze turned somber again.
“Jane…”
The next second, Patrick’s voice came, and Jane’s eyes immediately filled with radiance.
“You’re awake?”
Patrick’s voice was somewhat hoarse. Jane helped Patrick sit up, her expression still not showing any signs of improvement.
She went outside and brought a glass of water for Patrick, handing it to him directly. “Drink.”
Patrick naturally noticed Jane’s expression and gently touched her furrowed brow. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
Jane pursed her lips lightly, thinking about how Patrick had struggled with Katherine last night. After bringing Patrick back, she had carefully wiped him clean.
She didn’t want to see any traces left by other women.
“Why aren’t you happy?”
Patrick found Jane’s current state quite amusing and grinned.
“You’re still smiling.”
Jane gave Patrick a glare. “How did you end up at the Hotel last night?”
“Huh?”
Patrick paused for a moment. His memory of last night was a bit fuzzy, but as Jane mentioned it, he suddenly remembered something.
“Tyler called me over last night, said he wanted to discuss some Duncan Group matters. I went out for some fresh air midway, and then I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt weak and couldn’t move.”
As he spoke, both of them had a sudden realization.
“It seems like the Maltz Group played a trick on us.”
Jane lowered her head, carefully contemplating the situation.
“It seems they were well-prepared. They even had the date rape drug ready in advance. Fortunately, I arrived in time; otherwise, you might have…”
Jane looked Patrick up and down, and he immediately became serious.
“I wouldn’t have…,” he tightly held Jane’s hand, “The smell on that woman disgusted me. Even if my mind was unclear, I didn’t want to have any contact with her.”
Seeing Patrick’s earnest expression, Jane couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle.
