Chapter 27 It’s You
The men’s captivated stares spoke volumes.
& Pearls
Evelyn gritted her teeth in frustration. This country bumpkin could actually dance! She was the lead ballerina, yet Catherine had stolen the spotlight without even trying.
Why was it always Catherine, no matter where they went?
Just then, Evelyn felt Reynold’s hand slip away from her waist. He had already stepped forward, leaving her standing there alone.
Reynold’s eyes stayed fixed on Catherine, his focus unwavering
Evelyn’s frustration simmered; she clenched her teeth, her anger bubbling up as though she might snap.
Benedict and a few wealthy heirs rose in astonishment, their disbelief clear as they recognized the woman captivating/ everyone on the dance floor–Catherine!
Benedict gasped, “Catherine?!”
Ever since Catherine had talked about the divorce, she had undergone such a transformation, it was hard to recognize her.
Kevin asked, “Her name is Catherine?”
Benedict looked at him, confused. “Kevin, do you know her?”
Kevin’s eyes brightened, “She’s the one I’ve been searching for!”
What?
A collective gasp rippled through the room, everyone stunned by the revelation.
The woman who was both delicate and fierce, the one who had captured Kevin’s heart, was actually… Catherine?
No way!
Benedict asked, “Kevin, are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
Cindy was the most stunned. After all, Catherine was the country bumpkin she despised the most.
“Kevin, how could you be interested in Catherine?”
Evelyn was in disbelief, “Kevin, you can’t be serious. This isn’t funny at all!”
Kevin ignored everyone else, his gaze locked on Catherine as he smiled indulgently. “She’s even very wild.”
Reynold’s expression darkened, his handsome face hardening with frustration. Despite having someone take care of the sports car, things were still unfolding in ways he couldn’t control. She had come to the bar to dance–so boldly, so freely.
If she could dance so intimately with women, what would it be like if she danced with men? He didn’t even want to imagine
- it.
Was she really that eager to play with men?
As the music faded, the dance ended, and Catherine and Laura joyfully left the floor. Catherine was already drenched in sweat from the intense dancing.
The two were heading back to their private room when they happened to pass by Reynold’s luxurious booth.
Kevin spotted them and called out, “Well, well, Pretty Lady, looks like we meet again.”
Catherine paused and turned toward him. The moment she saw him, she recognized him–it was the man from the sports

Chapter 27 It’s You
Catherine frowned. “It’s you.”
Kevin grinned. “Yes, it’s me–Kevin. Didn’t expect I’d see you again so soon. How about I buy you a drink?”
Kevin?
Catherine didn’t recognize him.
Just then, Catherine felt a chilling, intense stare piercing her. Looking up, her gaze met Reynold’s icy eyes.
His gaze was sharp, like a blade slicing through the air as it locked onto her.
Why was he staring at her like that? Wasn’t Evelyn’s dance supposed to please him?
Kevin glanced between Reynold and Catherine. “Do you two know each other?”
Catherine chose to stay silent, replying, “I don’t know him.”
As soon as she spoke those words, Reynold smirked, clearly mocking her.

Catherine might not know Kevin, but Laura did. It looked like there was some drama unfolding, considering Kevin was Reynold’s best friend.
Laura smiled and said, “Kevin, forget about drinking, Cath needs to head home.”
Kevin quickly grabbed his car keys. “Then I’ll drive you both.”
He followed Catherine and Laura as they made their way out.
As the three of them left, Benedict and the other wealthy heirs couldn’t hold back. “What’s happening? Did Kevin actually develop an interest in Catherine?”
Benedict added, “But Catherine hasn’t even divorced my brother yet. Is he going to be cuckolded by his wife and best friend?”
Before Benedict could finish his sentence, Reynold raised his sharp gaze and shot him a chilling look.
Benedict quickly fell silent.
Reynold grabbed his car keys and said, “You all have fun, I’m leaving now.”
Cindy tugged at Evelyn’s sleeve, her voice filled with frustration. “Eve, how could Kevin possibly be interested in Catherine? Isn’t it bad enough that she secretly married Reynold–now she’s trying to take them both?”
Evelyn’s expression darkened as she processed the news. She hadn’t anticipated Kevin showing any interest in Catherine.
However, she quickly sneered, “Her? Don’t worry, neither Reynold nor Kevin will ever truly be interested in someone like Catherine from the countryside. She’s simply not worthy.”
Reynold and Kevin were the two men every elite woman in Havendor dreamed of winning over. What made Catherine think she stood a chance?
Evelyn hurried after Reynold, calling out, “Reynold, wait for me.”
Cindy slammed her foot down in frustration, “Catherine, this isn’t over!”
Laura ushered Catherine into Kevin’s luxury car, and he drove them home.
After a while, Kevin glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed a Rolls–Royce Phantom tailing them. It was Reynold’s car.
Kevin raised an eyebrow, confused. “Why is Reynold following us?”
