Catherine's POV
After wandering for a while, I simply threw my pencil away and decided to let go. Wandering wouldn't help at all. Life would continue anyway. I drove home. In the brightly lit parlor, my two kids were playing happily. Hedwig always liked to be Noah's tail. Wherever he went, she followed, while kept staring at him with her big, innocent eyes. She did it on purpose, since she knew he could do nothing about it. "You dropped your eyeballs. Pick them up!" Noah suddenly said to her. Hedwig widened her eyes and instinctively looked down. Then she reached out and touched her eyes. "My eyes are still there. I didn't drop them. Noah, you're lying." Noah chuckled. "You are indeed a fool, Hedwig. How can you still see me if you drop your eyeballs?" "Noah, you are so bad. You are lying! I will tell mommy!" Hedwig went upset at once. She turned around and saw me standing at the door. She immediately ran to me excitedly. "Mommy, yoCatherine's POV I panicked and quickly explained, "Yes, I'm out with a friend. She brought her kids here. Harley, I've got to go. Talk to you later. I'll congratulate you properly when I see you!" I quickly held my phone in my hand and looked down. I saw the two kids staring at me in a daze. Noah narrowed his eyes. "Mommy, were you on the phone with some man? When we called you just now, you ignored us and said we were your friend's children. I'm so sad." I knew Noah was discontent. Just as I was about to squat down to comfort him, I turned around and saw a tall figure leaning against the door behind me. Blake stared at me without blinking. His hands were crossed in front of his chest, and his face seemed a bit livid. "Noah, I'm sorry. Mommy doesn't want him to know about you yet. Don't be angry, OK?" I deliberately ignored Blake and comforted Noah in a low voice. Hedwig blinked innocently. "Mommy, who was he? Why don't you want him
Catherine's POV Blake became serious and scolded Noah, "Watch your mouth. You're going to make Hedwig cry." Noah curled his lips in disapproval. "What can she do besides act pettish in front of you?" Hearing that, Hedwig cried. I heard Noah's words and then looked at Hedwig, who was leaning against Blake's arms pitifully. I thought about it, and I realized that Noah was right. Hedwig did like to act pettish. Blake immediately said to Noah, "That's what makes a girl adorable. Don't you understand?" Noah was stunned and suddenly grinned. "Daddy, are you saying this to my mommy? You're saying that she's too stubborn and doesn't know how to act pettish, right?" "That's not what I meant!" Blake immediately tried to defend himself. I wondered who he was explaining to. "I'm done. You guys take your time. Be good and listen to Dowen. Don't be late for class." I stood up and wiped my mouth with a tissue. After telling the two kids, I
Catherine's POV As I walked over, I heard a lot of such discussions, and I was even more upset. I never thought this kind of thing would happen to me. Back in my seat, I clicked on the website to find the contact information of the seller. However, the dress wasn't available anymore. I was about to snap. I thought whoever was behind this was making a fool of me. After I found out about this, they wanted to erase everything! I just gained a bit of popularity in the fashion industry. However, it was all gone in the blink of an eye because of this Lorelei incident. All the contact information was gone. Therefore, I decided to go to the surveillance room, hoping that I could find something there. If someone stole my draft, they must have done it in this office. I had to go and find out who it was. When I came to the surveillance room, I found that the surveillance cameras weren't functioning these days. Only one of them was still workin
Blake's POV Catherine took me wrong this morning and left angrily. But I was still in a good mood. I actually found her cute when she was angry. A few days ago, Catherine joked that she wanted to be with my friend, which touched my nerve. It was my sore spot. Leroy took over my body in an instant. I managed to be rational and kept Leroy in control, so I didn't shift. However, I still frightened Catherine. But I didn't want to tell her why my wolf suddenly took over my body. It was about the secret concerning me and Leo. I didn't want her to know that my mother betrayed my father. I was in my office, dealing with business. Henry knocked on the door. When I saw Henry, I asked plainly, "What is it?" "King Blake, I just heard something. It's about Ms. Wyatt. She's in a dispute." I looked up and stared at Henry. "What happened to her? Tell me the details." "Ms. Wyatt designed a dress for a female star, but someone pu
Third person's POV After Lorelei taught Catherine a lesson, she returned to the company. Then she packed up her things and headed home. She drove a red sports car and lived in an upscale community. She only occasionally returned to her parent's place in Sunset Pack. Today's performance should have been a success. However, Lorelei's reputation was badly damaged because of the dress she wore. There were a lot of negative comments online, criticizing her bad taste, which made Lorelei hate Catherine's guts. Lorelei slapped Catherine today, yet she still felt that it was not enough. Later, Lorelei's agent told her that her popularity seemed to have risen a lot, since her dress had become a trending topic. Therefore, she felt a little better. Whether people were criticizing her or not, as long as her popularity rose, it was a good thing for her, a star. Lorelei had been on her phone after she entered the elevator. When she reached the door, she
Catherine's POV I did not care about the discussions of the people around me. After all, they all knew that Leo was, in fact, from the royal family. What made me wary was the online news. I walked back to my desk, turned on my laptop, and hurriedly found the piece of news. In just a few minutes, it had nearly a million hits. "How could this be?" I was dumbfounded, feeling like my world was collapsing. The entertainment media people were unbelievable. All I did was stand there and talk to Leo, and now I was pictured as his mysterious girlfriend. What was more, a photo revealing my face was also included. "They are making all of these up out of thin air!" I felt the urge to find these people and beat them hard. With just a few casual words, they turned a misunderstanding into a fact. They earned hits and popularity, while I was left with suspicion and disdain. Vanessa entered the office. When I looked up, I happened to see the
Catherine's POV Hearing the figure from Melinda, Vanessa was desperate. Her face turned deadly pale. For an ordinary werewolf, it was simply a whopping price. Sure enough, Vanessa said with a trembling voice, "Melinda, it's indeed my fault. I can go and apologize to Lorelei. But I can't afford the penalty. I don't have that much money." Melinda sneered, "Then I guess you should pay the police station a visit and reflect on your mistakes there." "No! No... Don't take me to the police. I made a mistake because I was jealous. Melinda, Catherine, please don't tell on me. I will find a way to give you the money." When Vanessa heard that Melinda was going to call the police, she hurriedly begged. "OK. Pay the penalty, admit your mistake publicly, and apologize to Catherine. Things will be settled then," Melinda said coldly and ruthlessly. Vanessa was reluctant. "Melinda, I have already agreed to pay the money. I can't stay here if everyon
Catherine's POV Just as I was happy because it had all worked out, I heard my phone ring non-stop. I picked up my phone and took a look. It was Blake. I sighed, took my phone, and quickly walked out of the office. I picked up the phone after I walked to a place with no one around. "Hey..." "What's going on with you and Leo?" asked Blake over the phone. I was prepared. However, my heart still skipped a beat when I heard his angry voice. "Can't you realize it's just hype? What do you think?" I wanted to sound more assertive, but I could only hear the guilt in my voice. "Who told you to go to him? Don't you know who he is?" Blake said coldly. "I went to him for help. Who knew that there would be paparazzi taking photos?" I felt so aggrieved. "Come to my office. We'll talk in person!" ordered Blake. I froze and immediately refused, "No. I still have work to do. If you have anything to say to me, wait till we're back
