"I haven't seen you for a long time, Uncle Rynaud." Old Mr. Melville sat on the sofa with a cane, looking at the man in front of him with a gloomy face. Cathy sat sideways next to her grandfather and looked carefully at the man's face. The man named Frank Melville wears a dark blue suit with a beige vest, with a straight waist and back, and looks elegant and stylish from behind. His brown hair is mixed with white hair that can't be ignored, which is slightly messy. His appearance is somewhat similar to Carter's, but his eyes seemed turbid, and the occasional dodged eyes and drooping corners of his eyes revealed his malice. At this time, he was raising the corners of his mouth and naturally greeted Old Mr. Melvillea. He turned his head slightly to look at Cathy and looked surprised with his eyes wide open. "You are my poor niece.I konw you really suffer. Now you are found back, your parents must be at ease..." His words were sincere, and Cathy also found that his eye
"Cathy! Why can't you ever get my mask ready in time? Don't you know that I'm going to a banquet hosted by Mrs. Lanyon tonight? Do you want to see me make a fool of myself at the banquet?"Cathy was in her mother-in-law's checkroom preparing her dress for tonight as well as her necklace, when she heard her mother-in-law's shrill voice, Cathy couldn't help but sigh, put down the necklace in her hand, and hurriedly walked towards the kitchen to prepare the cucumber mask that her mother-in-law needed."I'll be ready in a minute." Cathy replies loudly as she walks away. Cathy arrived at the kitchen, and the maid Milah handed her a silver tray with a cucumber mask."Thank you, Milah, you've been a great help!" Cathy felt very happy and smiled as she thanked her. Milah looked helpless, she was always at a loss for this young master, she could call on the servants as she pleased but she always preferred to do things herself."My Lady, you don't have to be so polite all the time, we all kno
"Mother, your mask is ready, can I put it on for you now?"Between flashbacks Cathy had made her way to the old Mrs. Lewis's door, she took a deep breath and knocked lightly on the door before saying."Come in!" The shrill voice of old Mrs. Lewis rang out.Cathy pushed open the door and entered the room.Old Mrs. Lewis's room was large, covered with expensive intricately crafted handmade woolen carpets, furnished with expensive antique furniture, and decorated with gold embroidered brocade draperies."You are too slow in doing things, I really can't expect you to do anything, you're just going to screw everything up! It's only seven hours until the banquet starts and yet I haven't even fixed my makeup or my dress, don't you know how rare Mrs. Lanyon's banquet are?" Old Mrs. Lewis was right in the middle of the room receiving her hair done by the exclusive styling team, seeing Cathy enter, old Mrs. Lewis started scolding again, "Never mind, what can I expect a hick like you to know?"
Cathy couldn't believe what she was seeing, the first photo was of Kevin being passionately kissed by a woman, the second photo was of a walk down the street holding hands with the woman, and the third was a photo of a double bar on a pregnancy test.Cathy didn't want to believe that the photos were taken after they were married, but she noticed a very familiar bracelet on each of Kevin's exposed right wrists in the photos.She zoomed in on the photo to closely identify it, and the more she looked at it, the harder it got on her heart.Yes, that was the tan cowhide bracelet Cathy had handmade for Kevin.This was Cathy's second wedding anniversary gift for Kevin, which means that these two photos of Kevin were taken last year.And the picture of the pregnancy test, Cathy really didn't dare to think carefully about whether it was real or fake, she was full of pain. She hesitantly scrolled up and down through the text messages, but it gradually blurred in front of her, and before she kne
Cathy drove up to the entrance of the Lata Café, across the street from the Café was the Haji Hotel, a very famous luxury hotel, and at this time the whole building was very lavishly decorated, with a lot of colorful balloons and balloons hanging up, it looked quite childish.But Cathy didn't care about her surroundings at all, she was only nervous about the "battlefield" she was about to face.Cathy took a deep breath, then walked into the Café with her head held high, her hands clasped together, doing her best to pose like the noblewoman she'd seen. She must not show her vulnerability to this hateful home-wrecker.After pushing her way into the coffee shop, she looked around it for a moment before locking onto a lady sitting in the corner wearing a black dress."Excuse me, it's good to see you, ma'am." She slowly walked over to the table and stood still, speaking softly but not without sarcasm.The lady in the black dress raised her head at the sound, Cathy had to admit that she was
Kevin in front of her was wearing a light blue shirt with a black suit, the suit jacket was unbuttoned, revealing a jewel-encrusted belt buckle, and the shallow crotch suit pants were the most popular non-traditional design of suit pants, overall loose but without losing poise.But the cold look made Cathy feel very unfamiliar, because Kevin had never shown this kind of expression in front of her, and he had never looked at her with such a cold look!Cathy was a little disturbed, she was just about to open her mouth to ask him why he was there when Kevin spoke coldly, "Cathy, you're such a disappointment to me, how could you turn out like this? How could you be so cruel?" "What do you mean Kevin, I don't understand what you mean." Cathy was a little uncertain as she stood up and asked suspiciously."I know all about it, you tried to use the money to get Gina to leave me, you even made a weakened Gina get an abortion! That's my baby, Cathy, how could you be so vicious? Why didn't you
"Cathy, leave away if you've done enough, what a cheek." Kevin had a pissed-off enough look on his face as he looked down and straightened his suit jacket, buttoning it back up.At this moment Cathy was on the verge of a breakdown, she didn't want to get close to anyone, her eyes stared hard at the man in front of her who was buttoning his suit at a leisurely pace. How could he, how could he be so heartless, so cruel, actually marrying her because she looked like Gina, was she just a stand-in?Cathy was stung by the word, her feelings became worthless, her three years of dedication, three years of being insulted and scolded by her mother-in-law, all of it, became so ironic at this moment!This man! The man she loved and believed in so much!And this darn Gina, she's been gone for so many years, why can't she be gone forever?Why does she have to show up when she's finally happy?She knew she wasn't favored by God, was fatherless and motherless, and life at the Jones Orphanage could on
Cathy was helped into the back seat of the car by Joe, and only when she was seated did she realize that it was old Mrs. Lewis sitting beside her."Mother." she hung her head low and whispered.Old Mrs. Lewis wasn't looking too good at the moment. She was sitting upright, her eyes flat in front of her, and she hadn't given her a look when Cathy got in the car.''You really made a big splash today!" Hearing Cathy's voice, she finally couldn't hold it in and sneered with a cold smile,"All the dinner guests have viewed your performance, seen your scandalous behavior, and know who you are! What a marvelous thing to do! Fortunately, no one knows that you're the daughter-in-law of the Lewis family, or else you've not only shamed yourself today but also shamed our family!"Cathy hung her head down, she remembered that when she and Kevin got married, they didn't hold a big wedding banquet, instead they only invited some of Kevin's friends to attend.At that time Kevin said that he didn't lik
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Uncle Rynaud." Old Mr. Melville sat on the sofa with a cane, looking at the man in front of him with a gloomy face. Cathy sat sideways next to her grandfather and looked carefully at the man's face.

"Good morning, Miss Cathy, how have you been? I've heard from Carter that you've recently taken a liking to Yvonne Benedict's fiddle tunes. It just so happens that she's been giving a solo recital lately and sent me two tickets to the premiere, which is tonight. I wonder if you'd be interested in going along to listen?"At eight in the morning, Cathy had just finished washing up and returning to her room from the bathroom when she happened to see a text message pop up on her mobile phone, which she picked up to find it was from Felix.Felix had messaged her almost every day since they had reunited on the day of the banquet, they hadn't talked about anything very important, just small talk about interesting things in life and work. Because Carter said to her after the party that she could be at ease with Felix and could see Felix as another brother, Cathy was also very relaxed with Felix, and she treated Felix as the same being as Carter, Kyle, and Eric. So when she saw the invitation
Felix coughed a little and raised the glass in his hand again to take a sip, Carter looked at him with more and more suspicious eyes, just as Felix wanted to change the subject, he just saw Cathy's figure, she looked around as if looking for something, Cathy turned her head just to meet Felix's eyes, Felix hooked up the corners of his mouth and raised his glass to her, Cathy had a surprised smile on her face and walked towards him. Cathy had a surprised smile on her face and walked quickly towards him. Carter saw Felix's movement and turned round to spot Cathy."Carter, Mr.Langley, finally found you. Let's go find Grandfather." Cathy smiled as she walked up to the two."Is grandfather looking for me? I'll be right over." Carter assumed that Grandfather was looking for him and with a nod he headed straight for the lounge."Did you speak to Old Mr.Melville?" Felix asked as he bent slightly closer to Cathy."No, I thought you said you wanted to say it in person. So I just told Grandfathe
"Cathy, I was just going to look for you. Mr.Langley? Why are you guys ......" Cathy and Felix both walked into the ballroom side by side, Olivia smiled at Cathy as soon as she saw her and walked towards her, but noticed Felix next to her sister and asked in surprise. "Good evening, it's a pleasure to meet you Mrs.Lanyon, and I'd like to congratulate you on getting your sister back." Felix raised a gentle smile and gave her a small nod. "Olivia, I used to spend some time with Mr.Langley at the orphanage, I'll tell you the details when I get home." Cathy took Olivia's arm and explained to her. "Is that so? I didn't know you guys had met so early on." Olivia looked surprised. "Yes, about this, I think I am somewhat responsible and I need to say sorry to everyone in the Melville clan." Felix sounded very sincere. "Mr Langley, we've already discussed this topic, and that's not on you." Cathy looked at Felix somewhat helplessly and disapprovingly. "Consider it for my poor self-este
"Mr. Lewis, I would suggest that it would be better for you to speak after you have understood what is going on, otherwise you will look foolish." Eric's voice was lazy, but his words were unforgiving."What?" It took Kevin a moment to realize that Olivia and Eric were behind Cathy, it also took him a moment to realize that the guests around them were looking at them with strange eyes and whispering. Kevin felt that something wasn't quite right, but really had no idea what was going on, when the old Mrs. Lewis tugged at his sleeve."Cathy is the daughter that the Melville clan lost and she just asked me to apologize.""What?" Kevin was shocked at this, he hadn't expected such a coincidence at all, he subconsciously wondered if something could be wrong, "That's impossible, isn't Cathy just an orphan? Could there be a mistake?" As soon as these words came out, Kevin knew it was over, the opportunity he had begged so hard f
"Cathy, it's about time now, let's go over there with Grandpa." Olivia looked at the clock on the wall and turned her head to say to Cathy who was sitting next to her taking small sips of red wine. At this moment, Cathy and Olivia were resting in the hotel's fixed suite, originally Olivia was going to go and greet the ladies attending the banquet, but because Cathy was too nervous, Olivia was afraid that she would get carried away alone, so she stayed behind and let Carter, Kyle and Eric deal with it. Old Mr.Melville, on the other hand, was resting in his suite first because of his health and would go over there when the banquet officially started. "Okay, I'm ready." Cathy took Olivia's advice and drank a little bit of red wine so that her spirit didn't have to be so tight. It didn't take long for the three to appear in the ballroom. The entire banquet hall was much larger and more lavishly decorated than the one where the banquet was held after attending the auction that day, and
"Cathy, are you done?" Olivia walked into the room and looked over at Cathy who was buckling her belt. "Yes." Cathy buckled her belt and looked up as she walked over to Olivia, smiling. "Very well then, let's go into the drawing room now, Grandfather should be back soon." Olivia took Cathy's hand. The two of them talked and laughed as they walked to the living room and found that everyone was there. Especially Kyle, who was a doctor, and was by now nestled wearily on the couch. "Kyle, I didn't think you were going to make it back in time, are you done with your work?" Olivia asked with concern as she walked over to sit next to Kyle."Yes, it's over. I'm sorry I haven't been able to spend any quality time with you the last few days." Kyle rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly and turned his head to Cathy with an apologetic expression. There was still a bit of stubble on his thin handsome face that hadn't been shaved, and he wore dark circles, so it was obvious at a glance that he h
Melville clan villa. Cathy and her group returned to the villa and talked merrily as they lounged on the couch. "Carter, you're back." A sharp-eyed Eric saw Carter, who had just walked into the villa. "I heard you guys went to Mrs. Sharp's auction today, how'd it go, did you get any good deals?" Carter asked with a smile as he walked over and unclipped his cuffs. "We did a lot of shopping, especially, Cathy managed to shoot a necklace for the first time tonight." Olivia happily shared with her brother. "Really? That's wonderful!" Carter quipped with a smile as he leaned over the edge of the couch where Cathy was sitting. Cathy looked down and covered her face, she was feeling a little embarrassed, the way Olivia and Carter were treating her made her feel like a child. "By the way, Cathy, to tell you the good news, Kevin Lewis will not appear in front of you in the future. I've moved his business with the Melville Group, so no surprise, he shouldn't meet up with you again." Carte
Cathy straightened her dress in the doorway before lifting her foot and walking in, she was a bit preoccupied with the man she had just seen, actually scaring the strutting Lacey Preze like that, last name Langley was it? She found Eric on the couch to the right of the ballroom, Eric was leaning back on the couch bored with a cupcake, Olivia was not there, not sure if she was off chatting with another lady. "Cathy, you're finally back, I was dying of boredom without you and Olivia." Eric saw Cathy in his afterglow and hurriedly sat up straight happily. "Something just happened and there was a delay, sorry for the wait." Cathy apologized and sat down next to Eric, reaching for the cake Eric handed her. "What happened? Did someone give you a hard time?" Eric listened with some urgency. "No, I just met a man, his last name is Langley, and he is very handsome, he said he is Carter's friend, Eric, do you know him?" Cathy didn't want Eric to worry so she didn't say what happened. "Tha
