Chapter 122 

But, like Anthony, Katherine was a guest today.

He considered himself a member of Beatrice's family and did not want Katherine to suffer.

So, he had to stay and look after Katherine and their family.

Simon returned not long after the few of them had settled on the sofa.

He was delighted to see Anthony and immediately asked him to accompany him to the study for a chat,leaving Katherine alone in the lion's den.

When Anthony left, Queenie struggled to hold back herself.

She tried not to show her bad attitude and contempt against Katherine, but it was obvious that she washaving difficulty.

Meanwhile, Beatrice pretended that she didn't notice it and busied herself silently having breathingexercises.

"Miss Wilson, you didn't get a good tour the last time you came to our house, did you? Shall I show youaround?" Queenie asked.

"Miss Johnston seems so enthusiastic about this.I will be impolite if I decline” Katherine said, notknowing Queenie's ulterior motive.

After Katherine said that, she directed her charming eyes to Queenie.It mirrored genuineness.So,Queenie felt guilty for no reason, but when she remembered what happened at the dinner table, sheimmediately felt less bad.

"Okay, shall we go?" she asked.

Her face was devoid of any emotion.

Katherine nodded and stood up.

Then, she went along with her.

Sean, who was watching from the side, paused for a moment before saying, "Wait, I'm quite fulltoo.Anyway, I'll come.’

Queenie locked her sharp gaze on Sean and asked, "Didn't you say you had something to do at thecompany, Sean?"

He quickly answered, "No, I'm done.I don't have to go back anymore."

Queenie became silent as she kept her glare on him.

Katherine glanced at Sean meaningfully.

When he felt her gaze on him, he shifted his look to her.

When he met Katherine's charming eyes, Sean sighed and guiltily rubbed the back of his neck.

He was indeed such a good brother! Sean followed them.

Meanwhile, Queenie didn't know what to do or where to take Katherine.

But after a while, she decided to take her to see their expensive decorations.

Her words were full of pride and arrogance when she introduced the paintings on the wall, butKatherine stood there with no sense of inferiority or embarrassment on her face.

It made Queenie furious.

"Oh, apologies.I forgot that Miss Wilson has been Mrs.Colburn for three years and had seen famouspaintings before in their home, right?"

Katherine lifted her eyebrows with the meaningful statement Queenie had dropped and said, "Yeah, butI am not fond of this, which is why I can't tell if it's real or fake"

What she said seemed harmless but insulting for Queenie.

"A painting that worths hundreds or thousand dollars is affordable.Our family doesn't need to fake apainting! We can buy a real one" she burst to complain.

"Oh, sorry.That's now what I meant" Katherine quickly answered.

Queenie felt that her explanation was unnecessary as if she was asking for respect.

She was so mad that her face flushed with rage.

Looking at Sean beside her, she was even angrier! She felt embarrassed and upset at the same time.

She suddenly thought of something to change the topic and heavy atmosphere.

She deeply inhaled and said, "By the way, we have an antique vase from renaissance Europedownstairs.Do you want to take a look? That vase is worth more than $600,000"

Queenie turned to face Katherine after she finished speaking.

She was sure that the "more than $600,000" worth of vase would be enough to entice Katherine.

Katherine smiled and said, "All right’ She was curious to see what tricks Queenie was planning or tryingto scheme.

They went down to the first floor, and the vase Queenie was pertaining to was what Katherine had seenwhen she first walked into their home.

No one would think that the vase placed on the door cabinet would be worth more than $600,000dollars.

It was the first thing that was displayed in the house.

Katherine noticed the vase the moment she walked through the door.

She looked at it for a while before pulling out her phone to take a picture of it.

Queenie scoffed when she saw her bring out her phone.

"Do you want to post it on your Instagram story, Miss Wilson? Our family prefers to keep a low profile,so it's best not to mention our family if you post it?” Queenie warned.

Katherine quickly took a photo and put away her phone.

"Okay” Katherine said nonchalantly as she looked straight at her.

She calmly reacted to Queenie’s hidden motive to insult her.

It made Queenie grit her teeth.

"How about this angle? Will it look good? Come over, take a photo.’ Katherine gave it some thoughtand walked over.

She then took out her phone and took a picture of the vase.

When she was about to put her phone away, her back was suddenly forcefully pushed by someone.

Katherine was quick to respond.However, she could not fight the gravity and hurled herself at theexpensive vase.
