Kate Lowe and Eric Davison Novel by Isla Rainfield
Chapter 32

Chapter 32 You Want Me to Die?

Hendrick gazed at Kate with a puzzled expression and couldn’t resist asking, “What are you trying to say?”

When Kate told him to watch out for Anna, Hendrick’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat, sensing a foreboding feeling.

After pondering for a moment, Kate spoke softly. “Hendrick, Eric’s men witnessed Ruth and Anna conversing in a secluded corner, and they also handed something to Anna.”

She had this information from her past life memories, so she could only mention that it was observed by Eric’s men. After all, she had just arrived at the Emperor Hotel, making it unrealistic to claim she saw it herself.

Hendrick’s demeanor turned grave, and he took a deep breath before responding, “Understood.”

He didn’t question the veracity of Kate’s words, but the mention of Anna made his brows furrow and his gaze grew cold.

Observing Hendrick’s change in expression, Kate also breathed a sigh of relief, yet a pang of bitterness tugged at her heart. Regardless of the circumstances, her brothers always believed her unconditionally, leading to their tragic victimization in her past life.

A knock sounded at the door of the private parlour. Hendrick opened it with a hint of coldness in his eyes, revealing Anna outside, who offered an apologetic smile upon seeing him. “Apologies, Mr. Lowe, for interrupting your reunion with Ms. Lowe. The investors are seeking you for a discussion on cooperation.”

Despite the interruption to Hendrick and Kate, Anna’s gaze didn’t acknowledge Kate at all, completely disregarding her.

“Very well.” Hendrick nodded, then turned back to instruct Kate, “Kate, wait for me to conclude the discussion before seeking you out.”

Kate smiled at him and nodded, watching Hendrick depart with Anna, her guard still up.

Although she had cautioned Hendrick to be wary of Anna, she didn’t attend the banquet in her past life and was unaware of how Anna succeeded. However, judging by Hendrick’s demeanor, he wasn’t entirely defenseless against Anna before, and now with her warning, he should exercise more caution and not easily fall into her trap.

Assuring herself inwardly, Kate swiftly scanned the Emperor Hotel, spotting Eric and several elegantly dressed individuals engaged in conversation.

She chose not to disturb Eric, opting instead to head towards the food area.

She felt a slight hunger.

Grabbing a slice of cake, Kate settled into a corner to leisurely enjoy her snack.

As she ate, she casually surveyed the hotel, quickly spotting Simon and Ruth amidst the crowd on the opposite side.

Simon wore a pleasant, ingratiating smile, conversing with another person, while Ruth stood behind him, her gaze sweeping the Emperor Hotel. Soon, she noticed Kate seated in the corner.

In a hushed tone, she said something to Simon, then approached Kate with a surprised and smiling expression, “Kate, I didn’t expect you to actually attend the banquet! Has Eric finally allowed you to come out? I always said that staying in Summer Estate all the time would disconnect you from society…”

Kate lazily raised her eyes to glance at Ruth, but remained silent.

“What’s the matter, Kate? Is Eric pressuring you to do something you dislike again?”

Ruth peered at Kate’s indifferent demeanor, feigning concern.

Kate looked at Ruth with a smile that lacked warmth, her tone cool, “Ruth, what are your implying?”

Ruth was taken aback by her cold questioning. She forcibly suppressed the displeasure in her heart, her face looking somewhat unnatural as she asked, “Kate, what’s wrong with me?”

Kate lazily leaned back on the sofa, lightly tapping the table with her index finger. She looked arrogant and indifferent as she gazed at Ruth. “Are you so eager for me to die that you’ve been trying to sow discord between me and Eric?”
