Chapter 750

Kareem Mcguire smiled, "Katie, you know we all rely on our sister-in-law. Uncle Raiden also said not to make her angry. Hurry up andlisten.”

Katie bit her lip and swallowed all the embarrassment and shame in herheart. "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those thingsearlier.”

Upon hearing her apology, Carolyn's stern expression softened slightly."You shouldn't apologize to me; you should apologize to Jasper.”

Katie felt a little overwhelmed - the lady of the mighty Mcguire Groupwas apologizing again and again to the Howlett siblings?

They were really trying to make her look bad!

But given the current situation, she had no choice but to apologizeagain, "I'm sorry."

Jasper snorted; he could tell that Carolyn held a high position in theMcguire family from their usual interactions with each other. He feltrelieved.

"Sis, you guys go ahead and eat; see you tomorrow,” Jasper said as heglanced at the young man who must be Kareem - Katie's cousin fromanother branch of the Mcguire family.

After Lukas left Mcguire Group, Kareem became Carolyn's right-handman at a young age because of his smoothness and high-handedness.For some reason, Jasper didn't think he was as gentle as he appearedon surface.

Jasper returned to his seat where all dishes were served; it seemed likeeveryone had been waiting for him before they started eating.

As soon as he sat down without picking up his fork yet though Sylviaspoke coldly, "Some people are just born brainless.”

Jasper was wondering if Miss Andrews was talking about Katie.

Before Jasper could say anything, Franklin asked Sylvia, "I heard shespecifically requested working with Simeon? Do you agree with that,honey?"

Sylvia chuckled in response, "Simeon has good reputation, popularityand signature work. She has Mcguire Group behind her but Simeonhas me!"

Jasper wondered if Sylvia wanted to give a slap in Katie's face. Afterall, if Katie wanted to work with Simeon, it would definitely needapproval from Sylvia first.

Recently there were news everywhere online about how the heiress ofthe Mcguire Group was going to work with Simeon.

Simeon had not responded, and neither had Katie. It was unclearwhether she was just trying to ride on Simeon's popularity or what, butit was rumored that Katie had been a fan of Simeon's even before shebecame famous.

It was late at night on the day when Simeon suddenly posted a tweet,"Joining “The Beggarly Girl Is A Noble Lady’, guest-starring for fiveminutes!"

After he posted it, there were soon a ton of comments from fans below."What? Simeon, are you going to act with Eden? The two top stars inone frame?"

"Ah! Sylvia's drama, you're going to make a guest appearance?"

"For my Simeon, I must buy tickets! Watch it twice or three times! Is itreally only five minutes?"

“I thought... you were supposed to work with Katie? How do you havetime to make a guest appearance?"

As soon as this comment was posted...

Unexpectedly, within minutes, Simeon replied to it: "Nope. I'm joiningMr. Davila's drama crew!"

This was an outright denial from Simeon!

With his popularity and influence, he immediately became trendingtopic within minutes.

#Simeon denies working with Katie

When Katie saw this hashtag, she was angry.

The rumor about her wanting to work with Simeon had been spread byher own team in order to generate buzz; they really were discussingworking together!

Simeon had agreed; they just hadn't signed any contracts yet.

But then today Simeon's agent suddenly called and said that therewouldn't be any collaboration.

And then Simeon remarked on it and even made it a trending topic onTwitter!

Katie seethed with anger. "Who does he think he is - some kind of bigshot celebrity? what right does he have refusing her like that?'

She couldn't sleep at all due to how angry she felt, so she wentdownstairs where Kareem happened upon her as soon as he returnedhome reeking of alcohol.

"Kareem... have you been drinking? You smell terrible."

She covered her nose in disgust.

He chuckled softly and glanced over at her unpleasant expression."Katie, don't you look too happy huh?"

"How could I be happy?! Just go take a look at what's trending."Kareem already knew about it and a hint of malice flashed in his eyes."Why have you been having such a rough time lately? First, your sister-in-law scolded you, and now the partnership fell through. Come on, let'sgo to my room. I will help cheer you up.”

He reached out and put his arm around Katie's shoulder as they wentupstairs to his room. "Katie, do you think maybe your sister-in-law isjust really hard on you all the time? Maybe she doesn't like you?"
