CHAPTER 540 A TRAP

“A lady?” Nadine remained unmoved.

Her face still stayed alert, “Who’s she?”

She had been staying with Leo ever since he came to Hopkins. So she had comprehensive

understanding about the upper class in this city.

However, as far as she knew, there was no such a significant lady among the upper class.

When the frontman of those guys answered, her doubt finally dissolved.

“Ms. Kate, Kate Spencer.”

“Kate Spencer?”

Nadine asked again, “You mean Kate Lawson?”

The frontman nodded, “Exactly.”

“I won’t talk to her.” Nadine turned around and was about to leave.

But the frontman stood in her front, “Ms. Nadine, wait.”

“Get out of my way unless you wanna get killed.” Her eyes started to turn bloodshot.

She was aware that Kate had been scheming and malicious, an expert of conspiracy. She could be the

biggest threat to Leo. That was why Nadine turned down her invitation.

The frontman couldn’t help shivering. But he hurried to explain, “But Ms. Kate said that you must be

bothered by some feelings recently. And she knows how to fix it.”

Nadine was rendered confused.

Bothered by some feelings?

Even she herself wasn’t aware of that.

“Nonsense.” Nadine continued to walk away.

But the frontman didn’t stop her this time.

As he was told by Kate, he didn’t need to try again if Nadine still refused to talk even after the reason

was told.

It was all up to her.

Nadine got into the car. When she was about to start the engine, she suddenly recalled how Leo

reacted when facing her.

Though it seemed like a casual act, she was still distraught about it.

“Lead me the way!” she reached out of the window and shouted to those tough guys.

Soon, she arrived at the best hotel in Hopkins with them, in front of the portal of which there parked

countless limousines. Gentlemen in luxurious outfits were surrounded by pretty ladies while walking

through the portal.

Nadine appeared quite surprised.

The frontman explained, “Ms. Nadine, don’t worry. This is the best hotel in Hopkins, where the

representatives of the royal families in Valenham stay.”

“Before the Northernland General Assembly begins, they would like to spend their time here.”

Nadine replied with a contemptuous look. Honestly speaking, she disdained those playboys from

Valenham.

Then the elevator went all the way up to the top floor.

While those guards were leading the way, Nadine walked into a presidential suite.

As confident as she had been, she didn’t seem to worry if there would be an ambush. So she literally

strode in.

However, to her surprise, Kate wasn’t here. Instead, it was an old man, Keegan Spencer.

“Where is Kate?” Nadine asked alertly.

“Ms. Nadine, please be patient. She’s taking a shower.”

Keegan casually stood up and smiled at her, “By the way, Ms. Nadine, please address her with the All content is property © .

name of Spencer.”

As soon as Keegan stood up in her front, Nadine turned to be greatly alert as she could tell that this old

man felt incredibly powerful.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

A charming voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Nadine turned around and saw that a lady in dazzling outfit was walking over to her decently.

It was none other than Kate.

“Kate, what do you want?” Nadine shouted.

Kate replied with a smile, “Ms. Nadine, I am here to cure your love sick.”

But still, Nadine stayed alert.

She somehow felt distraught when Kate was insinuating.

Suddenly, she heard the door was locked behind her. It was Keegan.

“What are you doing?” Nadine questioned coldly.

Kate smiled, “Ms. Nadine, don’t sweat it. I didn’t mean to do anything bad to you. We locked the door

just to keep us away from being disturbed.”

Kate then poured her a cup of tea.

But Nadine didn’t intend to drink it.

As a killer, she knew it could be poisonous.

But Kate didn’t seem to feel offended. She poured herself a cup of tea and started to take a sip.

“How is Leo?” asked Kate.

“He’s fine. Don’t ever disturb him again.” Replied Nadine seriously.

Kate couldn’t help giggling, “I won’t disturb him. Now Lydia has moved to live in Hopkins. I am not that

courageous enough to come to him.”

But it actually sounded like Kate was pointing out that Lydia moved to Hopkins because she feared

Kate would take the chance to capture Leo’s heart.

Nadine answered with a sullen face, “Actually, Lydia moved to Hopkins for business.”

Kate smiled but replied with silence.

She suddenly fixed her eyes on Nadine, “Leo’s fine. But what about you?”

“Me?” Nadine seemed a bit confused. But soon she returned to be alert again, “But it has nothing to do

with you.”

Meanwhile, Nadine was trying to figure out what she meant by saying so.

However, Kate simply conducted the following conversation in a common topic. Sometimes she let out

a few words of mockery as if she were viewing Nadine as her love rival. Besides that, Nadine could tell

nothing from her talk.

However, she still felt pressured.

Though Kate was a poor fighter when compared with Nadine, she could easily get Nadine trapped into

conspiracy.

Nadine still failed to figure out her purpose.

“It’s okay. But I know your feelings. And I can’t bear to see you writhing in it while you know nothing

about it.” Kate smiled.

Nadine hurried to refute, “Feelings? I have no feelings for anybody!”

“Oh, really?”

Kate smiled to continue, “What about Leo?”

Hearing that, Nadine appeared flustered.

However, she was soon overwhelmed by madness.

“One more nonsense! I will definitely cut your throat!” her face was covered with bloodthirst with a

dagger pressing against Kate’s neck.

Meanwhile, Keegan rushed over to Nadine with his punch pressing against her back, “Drop your

dagger!”

Just with a simple move, Nadine could easily cut Kate’s throat while Keegan could smash Nadine’s

heart from behind.

At the same time, Keegan was amazed by scheme of Kate.

She actually got such a powerful killer distraught with a few words.

During the fight, the one being disturbed would be more likely to fail.

Only lady knew about another lady. And Nadine was no exception.

Nadine was now under the control of Kate.

That was what made Kate horrible.

Even Norah, the most excellent one among those juniors in the Spencers, had to stay highly cautious

when facing Kate.

“Keegan, stop!” Kate didn’t seem to worry that Nadine would kill her.

Even though there was a dagger against her neck, Kate still smiled composedly, “Keegan, please leave

the room. Ms. Nadine and I need some private time to talk.”

“But…I am afraid she will…”

“Keegan, leave now.” Kate insisted coldly.

Hearing that, Keegan couldn’t help flinching. He then turned around to walk out of the door.

Then only Kate and Nadine were left alone inside the room.

Kate smiled, “Keegan is the most powerful one among by guards. Now he has left. Ms. Nadine, shall

we have a talk now?”

But Nadine still failed to figure out what Kate was planning.

If she was conspiring, Nadine could easily cut her throat at this moment.

At the thought of that, Nadine put away her dagger.

But she still remained aloof, “What do you want? Tell me now! I don’t have much time to waste.”

“Okay.”

Kate smiled and asked, “Do you know what love is?”

“Love?”

Obviously, Nadine was confused about this question.

“Yes, love…” Kate stood up and looked outside the window, “It means you can do anything for the one

you love. Whatever it takes…”

“You love him or even hate him as always…nothing could change it.”

“Most of the people believed that they know well about love…but actually they don’t…” Kate drawled.

She seemed to refer to her own story.

Though Kate wasn’t sure if Nadine could feel the same, Nadine herself could tell that she was having

an honest talk from the bottom of her heart.

However, Nadine seemed more confused when hearing that.

She had been a killer, growing up with blood.

She struggled to survive, having no time to dream about love.

Even till now, she hadn’t met a man whom she had a crush on.

Or perhaps there wasn’t such a man in her life.

So she knew nothing about love.

However, she asked Leo the same question before.

What was love?

And what for?

She still remembered Leo’s answer.

“Love includes a lot—it involves daily life spent with each other and also the mutual support.”

“Be bound with the one you love for a lifetime no matter what happens.”

Nadine seemed to get a bit illuminated.

But still, she shook her head, “I don’t get it. And I don’t need to!”

From her perspective, it would be fine as long as she could stay by Leo’s side forever.

Kate let out contemptuous laughter.

Irritated, Nadine felt like being offended.

“What are you laughing at?”

“I am laughing because you are stupid!” Kate shook her head and added with a smile, “Is there a gap

between you and Leo?”

Stunned, Nadine fixed her eyes on Kate when hearing that.

Actually, she was stepping herself into Kate’s trap, which she failed to notice.

Ever since Leo learned that she was from Phantom, the gap had been irreversible.

Though Leo claimed that he didn’t care about it, Nadine could tell he no longer confided in her like

before.

“There is no such a gap!” Nadine could never tell the real answer.

However, Kate had noticed that. She smiled, “Even if there is no such a gap, do you always think about

Leo? Are you willing to stay by his side forever? Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for him?”

“If your answer is yes, you have fallen in love with him. Or perhaps you have drowned yourself in love.”

Stunned, Nadine couldn’t help murmuring to herself, “Is that…love?”

“Of course!”

A weird smile appeared on Kate’s face as she had reached her goal, “If you love Leo and you wanna

spend the rest of your life with him, I can help you.”
