NovelEnglishChapter 307:
She wiped away her tears and continued, “I made a fool of myself. Thinking about it now, | really shouldn't have
acted that way. You've always been perceptive, and | can’t keep secrets from you... | just wanted you to know,
but... | ended up making a joke of it.”
As Kristopher saw her tears, he felt a twinge of sympathy. However, his sympathy soon gave way to curiosity. He
furrowed his brow and asked, “Then explain to me, Cathy. How did you figure out it was Belinda and Fred last
night?”
The night before, when the police arrived at the scene, he and Belinda had already slipped away.
No one had captured their images, and ostensibly, no one knew their identities.
Furthermore, if there had indeed been a witness, they should have recognized him and Belinda.
Only the mysterious men in black who had chased them might have mistaken him for Fred.
Cathy hesitated briefly, then looked up at him with a sly smile and admitted, “I heard it from Jessa.”

hardly keep up with the news. Jessa mentioned that Miss Nelson and Fred were possibly the victims last night. It
shocked me, and | was worried about how you’d handle the news, so...”
She averted her gaze, her voice tinged with guilt and sorrow. “Kristopher, | realize now that | was wrong. | should
have just been upfront with you from the start...”
As Kristopher listened, he sighed deeply, his frown deepening as he processed her words.
Belinda rushed into Wildfield Design Studio, breathless.
As soon as she entered the office, she knocked excitedly on Ryland’s door, holding her design drafts. “I'm all set,
Mr. Moreno. Are we heading to the meeting now?”

It had been a long trip from Kristopher’s Riviera Villas to the studio. She had repeatedly urged the taxi driver to
hurry, even paying twice the fare to ensure she wasn't late.
Today marked her first meeting with the top executives of a partner company, and she was determined not to let
personal issues interfere with the potential collaboration.
After all, twas not on her side, and failing this partnership could mean losing the chance to secure another in
time.
But she was met with an unexpected look of surprise from Ryland.
“Didn’t Darren tell you? Today's meeting was called off.”
Belinda’s eyes widened in shock. “The meeting was canceled?”
Ryland sighed deeply. “Yes, the senior management had personal issues to attend to, so we've postponed the
meeting. We'll schedule the next one as soon as they're available.”
The excitement in Belinda’s heart sank.
She had been tirelessly working these past few days, diligently adjusting the proposal to meet the other party's
demands, hoping to leave a strong impression during her meeting with the senior executives to pave the way for
future collaborations. She hadn't anticipated the meeting being called off so abruptly.
