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 workinBlake'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
Blake's POV When I returned to my office, I found two uninvited guests sitting there. They were Howard and Benjamin. "Why are you here?" Howard and Benjamin looked at each other, and Benjamin said, "We read about Catherine and Leo's affair early in the morning, and we came to show our concern." When Howard saw that I was silent, he asked in a low voice, "Blake, maybe you should talk to Leo and let him clear things out." "He's right. No one will ask any questions as long as Leo sets things straight. He can also go public with your relationship with Catherine," Benjamin said. "Thanks for looking out for me. I still need to talk to her about this." I had thought the same as them already. When I invited Catherine over, I wanted to talk to her about this. Unfortunately, she was scared away by my enthusiasm. "Blake, I've never seen you care so much about a woman." Howard smiled meaningfully. Benjamin glared at Howard and sai
Blake's POV I hung up the phone and looked up. I saw Leo looking at me with surprise. "What?" I asked. "You just told Grandma that Catherine is your mate. Why did you lie to her?" I said seriously, "I did not lie to her. I wanted Catherine to be with me." "What?" Leo could not believe what he heard. He was a little dazed. Then he said, "Has Catherine agreed to be with you?" "She will, for the sake of the kids." I was confident. Before, when I took the kids away from her, I saw how desperate she was. I knew at that moment that she would absolutely sacrifice anything for them. Leo frowned. "Then aren't you using the kids to force her into the corner? What's the point?" "I just need to be with her. Do you understand?" I wanted to say that I had fallen in love with her, but I found it hard to say these words in front of Leo. "Blake, aren't you always picky about women?" asked Leo. "I was. But not anymo
Catherine's POV After I hung up the phone, I felt someone behind me. I turned around and saw a tall figure leaning against the wall behind me. I quickly put my phone behind me, and asked unhappily, "How long have you been standing there?" "Who were you talking to?" asked Blake. I paused. "A friend." After saying that, I walked around him and quickly walked towards the bedroom. He followed me into the bedroom. "I have something to tell you." "What?" I turned to him. "Leo will hold a press conference tomorrow to clarify your relationship with him," said Blake in a low voice. He paused and continued, "And he's going to make another announcement." I stared at him in surprise. "What else?" "He will state to others that you are my girlfriend." "How could you let him say that?" I was a little angry. Blake raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled. "Don't forget that we have signed an agreement. Even if things go public, it will be
