Kai didn’t need to hear any more than that, the fact that the people his grandfather wanted to introduce him to could be the people that can uncover this mystery once and for all was more than enough.Kai looked at Catherine, he had been waiting for the auction to end so that Catherine could finally go ahead with her original plan and tell him about the pregnancy, but it looked like he might have to wait again.“You should go,” Catherine said, her voice sounding unnaturally high, and Kai knew immediately that she was also nervous, she probably hadn’t even thought of how she was going to tell him yet.“I’ll be waiting for you, and besides, only god knows how long the after party is going to last. I feel like a lot of people might be here till tomorrow.” She laughed nervously as she chugged her water.Teresa’s lips tightened as she tried to hold herself back from bursting out in laughter.

Nora’s body stiffened at once, her blood felt as though it had run dry, as her face went pale the moment that she made eye contact with Kai. Her jaw dropped, and she wanted to say something, but words failed her. Kai was the last person she expected to bump into after coming out of the restroom, she had just finished talking to the one person she actually trusted to help her take care of Kai. She had wanted to go back to her seat and enjoy as Kai plunged into a bottomless pit of despair, so how come he was standing in front of her with a smug smile on his face. He looked as though he knew what she was planning to do, almost as though he had been there for longer than she actually knew. Nora could hear her heart pounding so hard in her chest. She held her purse so tightly that her nails were digging into the leather as she finally cleared her throat. “What are you doing here? Did Catherine finally banish you to the regular section because she finally realized how useless you ar

“I really don’t have much to say,” Catherine said into the microphone, there was a huge part of her that was worried about Kai, she couldn’t help but feel like something even bigger was about to happen.But, there was another part of her that trusted all of Kai’s judgement, and she knew that he was going to come out victorious. He was no longer the Kai that always had to do things himself because he was scared of pissing people off by asking for their help.This was a new Kai, and this new Kai knew just how to ask for help, he knew that everyone would be willing to help him, and that was why he had left with two of the strongest men on their team, and another even stronger one.Shaking her head, Catherine smiled so brightly that even without saying anything, Teresa and the rest of the guests cheered her on. Teresa could understand that she was a little bit nervous, but she also knew that Catherine would get over it.“All I want to say is a big thank you to everyone that has made this
