Chapter 226 

Katherine glanced at Amelia again.

Even after so many years, this selfish and vicious old lady still hadn't changed.

The corners of her mouth twitched into a sarcastic smile.

‘Four million dollars...She's really shameless to ask for that’ Katherine felt that Amelia's actions wereridiculous.

By now, Gabrielle had regained her senses, nodded to Katherine in acknowledgment, and said, "Iunderstand, Ms.Wilson."

"Go.”

Katherine responded indifferently, turned around, and walked out.

This sudden reversal shocked many people, including Amelia.

‘Just a moment ago, she took out the check to give me money.

Now, she retracted it and refused to give me a penny, even asking me to scram! Amelia's thoughtswere filled with disbelief.

‘This can't be!’ she anxiously thought.

Amelia hurried after Katherine and caught up with her.

"Hey! Don't go, come back! What do you mean by that?"

Katherine's face turned into a scowl when Amelia grabbed her bag.

She turned back and coldly glared at her as she stressed, "This bag was a limited edition when it wasreleased in 2016.It's worth 120,000 dollars.Can you afford to compensate me if you ruin it?"

Even as she said this, Katherine's face remained impassive, as if she was casually talking about whatshe had for dinner.It was as if there was nothing special about it.

Therefore, it did not elicit any emotion.

Amelia's expression turned sour when she heard how much the bag was worth.

"You damned girl! You can afford to purchase a 120,000-dollar bag, yet you're not even willing to sparea few million for your grandmother and uncle! You evil witch! You even forgot your relatives after gettingrich!" she shrieked in anger.

Katherine stared at Amelia, and with her eyebrows raised, asked, "You won't let go?"

Amelia remained adamant and kept her grip on the bag.

"I won't let go! What stupid bag is worth 120,000 dollars?!"

Although Amelia cursed and appeared belligerent, she was already devising a plan deep down.

‘This bag is worth 120,000 dollars.

Even if it's considered a pre-loved item, I can still sell it for 60,000 dollars!’ Amelia had started mentallycalculating her potential earnings from selling the bag.

"Your uncle is in trouble now, and he is in urgent need of money.Let me ask you, will you help him?"Amelia probed.

‘Unbelievable!’ Katherine clicked her tongue in disdain.

‘If you want money, you could have just said so.You even had to create such a fuss with all that drama!Now, you're saying you encountered some difficulties and needed help.

She inferred.

Katherine did not expect that her grandmother could actually be this shrewd! But she was not stupid.

"What does it have to do with me?" she sneered.

"You just don't want to help, do you?"Amelia retorted.

Katherine, her tone laced with sarcasm, argued, "The bank has a lot of money.Why don't you just headto the bank and ask them to help you?"

Katherine was getting impatient, so she tried to pry her bag out of Amelia's tight grip.

When Amelia realized that Katherine would not give her money despite her pestering, she wasfurious.She harshly grabbed the bag with both her hands.

"You damn girl! Your uncle will be beaten to death, yet you still arrogantly use such an expensive bag!Take it off Take it off and give it to me!"

Amelia continued to shout while tugging on the bag.It had been a while since Katherine was scoldedlike this.

Now that she had been unceremoniously rebuked, she frowned and sternly said, "It's my money.

Even if I throw it into the ocean, it has nothing to do with you.

If I don't want to give it to you, that's my choice.

Now that I'm refusing to give you my money, do you want to steal it from me?"

Amelia was already infuriated with how badly things had gone, but she became even more outragedwhen she heard Katherine.

With great force, she yanked the bag off with one hand and mercilessly pushed Katherine with theother.

Due to the force, Katherine staggered backward and only managed to stop when she bumped into aman's solid chest.

Zack steadied Katherine by firmly holding on to her shoulders while he stood behind her.

Looking down, he gently asked, "Are you hurt? Did you sprain your ankle?"

Katherine looked up and stepped out of his embrace.

"No, thank you." She was feeling cranky.

Seeing Zack, she could not even show him her usual indifferent smile.
