CHAPTER 541 KARL CAME

Nadine looked ahead in a daze, her mind blank.

Kate’s voice seemed to have a magical effect on Nadine, making her unable to think straight.

"No. You’re fooling me. I’m no match for you when it comes to playing tricks!"

Nadine recovered her reason and said through clenched teeth, her eyes fixed on Kate.

Kate giggled. "I’m fooling you? I’m stopping you from going too far."

"What do you want on earth?" Nadine asked, unmoved.

Kate replied calmly, "I’m helping you get Leo. That’s what I want."

Nadine sneered. "Nonsense. You failed to be with him, and now you’re helping me?"

"I failed to be with him?"

Kate’s eyes glinted grimly while the smile on her face vanished instantly.

If Nadine was questioning her about something else, she would have laughed it off. But her relationship

with Leo was no laughing matter.

Nadine calmed down a lot the moment Kate got upset. At least, she was no longer under Kate’s spell.

Now she was more certain that Kate was trying to drive a wedge between Leo and her, the sneer on

her face widening.

"Isn’t that so? I don’t remember you had ever been with him. The woman Mr. Cohen thinks about has

always been Ms. Henderson."

"Shut up!" Kate roared and rose to her feet, looking down at Nadine.

She went on resentfully, "Ask Leo who he had thought about before he met Lydia, me or her?"

Before Leo met Lydia, only two women were related to him. One was Caroline, his childhood

sweetheart, while the other was Kate.

Kate became full of confidence at the thought of it.

"To be honest with you, back when Leo married into the Lawson family, he had always been loyal to me

and indulged me, no matter how I treated him. It’s impossible that he never loved me!"

Nadine could hardly believe what she just heard. Suddenly, she found Kate miserable.

Meanwhile, Kate realized she just overreacted, so she sat down immediately and stared calmly at

Nadine. "You don’t have to provoke me. I won’t get in between Leo and Lydia anymore, but that doesn’t

mean I’ve lost to her. I’m just wondering if you’ll accept my offer."

Nadine remained silent for a long time before she asked instead of answering her, "I’m afraid you want

something else from me by helping me, I assume?"

Kate smiled. "Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have got myself involved with such a thankless task."

"So what do you want?" Nadine eyed her warily.

Kate had worked with Lydia once and framed her up, and Lydia was almost driven into bankruptcy.

Kate gave a smile. "Don’t worry. I won’t set you up this time. I just have a small favor to ask."

"What is it?" Nadine asked.

"You have to disguise yourself as…"

Kate drew near to Nadine and whispered a name into her ear.

"What?"

Surprised to hear it, Nadine sprang to her feet.

The next moment, the dagger in her hand was pressed against Kate’s neck again.

"Who are you?"

Even if she was holding a dagger to Kate’s throat, her eyes were still filled with shock and terror.

There were few things in this world that could terrify her.

Kate chuckled and said faintly without answering her question, "I know what you’re thinking. The

person you disguise yourself as is related to your origin. Just think about it before you give me your

answer.

"But I believe you’ll finally come back to me.

"Please see her out, Uncle Otto."

Nadine left the hotel, her face pale.

She collapsed to the floor after taking a few steps.

Only when one was in despair did she lose all her hopes.

At this moment, Nadine didn’t know where she was going in the future.

On the other hand, Leo had no idea that Nadine had met Kate. He came back to the hotel with Emilia in

his arms.

Lydia happened to get out of the shower at this point. "Why are you so late?"

She felt a little annoyed that Leo and Emilia came back so late.

Leo decided not to tell Lydia what had happened to the Watts family, so he made an excuse.

"Don’t be so late again. Things have been rough in Hopkins lately. There’s danger everywhere," Lydia

said with concern.

Hearing that, Leo also looked out of the window at the night view of the busy city.

There were many pedestrians on the streets, but everyone could feel that more and more martial artists

had come to Hopkins as the date of the Northernland General Assembly approached. Fighters were at

every corner of Hopkins.

For ordinary people, they would die if they rubbed any martial artist the wrong way, for not everyone

was so invincible as Leo.

"Do you know when exactly the Northernland General Assembly will be held?" Leo asked.

Word got out that the Northernland General Assembly would be held in Hopkins, but no one knew the

exact date, which gave people the kind of "Big Foot" vibe.

Lydia shook her head. "I have no idea, but I assume it’ll begin soon, probably in this month.

"Whenever Mr. Miller, the host of assembly, comes, it’ll begin."

"Cassius Miller…"

A teasing smile spread across Leo’s face as he heard that name.

Coincidentally, Leo was looking for a chance to settle old scores with him.

The next morning, Lydia got up very early to go to work.

Leo took her in his arms. "Why did you get up so early?"

"I want to check how my business is going."

Lydia pushed Leo’s hands on her underbelly away quietly.

Leo put them back and said with a smile, "You’re pregnant. You don’t have to pay so much attention on

work."

Lydia felt warm inside, but she stood her ground. "I just got pregnant. It’s not that I’m going to deliver

the baby soon. It’s OK."

"Then I’m going with you," Leo offered worriedly.

Since Leo insisted, Lydia could only agree.

Ding-dong!

Before they left, someone rang the bell.

"Who’s that?"

Lydia opened the door and froze. The next moment, the look on her face became sullen.

"It’s you?"

"It’s me."

A middle-aged couple was standing at the door.

In fact, they looked much younger than their actual ages. Seemingly, time hadn’t left many signs of

aging on their faces.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Leo was surprised to see them. He didn’t feel like meeting them at all, but he still forced himself to call,

"Mr. and Mrs. Henderson."

The middle-aged couple standing at the door were Lydia’s father in name only, Karl, and his wife Maisy.

Both of them ignored Leo. Their attention had been on Lydia all the time.

Lydia, however, decided to shut the door against them.

Bang!

The moment the door was about to be slammed shut, a hand reached out and stopped the door.

Karl let out a sigh. "You hate to see us so much, don’t you?"
