Chapter 219 Take Responsibility

For the next five minutes, Kate drove with Eric on speakerphone, listening to Miles rant non- stop.

First, he asked why Kate hadn’t told him she was warm. He expressed his curiosity and

admiration for Warm and dissected the recent online public opinion. Once he got started, there was no stopping him.

Finally, with a hint of bitterness, he said, “Kate, you didn’t share such an important thing with me. I’m really disappointed.”

Eric’s face darkened immediately. He scoffed, his voice cold, as he asked, “So you’re blaming Kate for this?”

When Eric’s voice got that serious edge, Miles practically jumped up from the bed where he’d been lounging and griping about Kate, his face suddenly a picture of shock. “Whoa, Eric! Hey, I was messing around before, haha. How could I ever badmouth Muse?”

Miles fumbled for the right words, lighting the mood with a clumsy joke.

Overhearing Miles‘ frantic explanations, Kate felt mixed emotions as she nudged Eric, “Alright.”

Feeling the shift, Eric’s icy facade melted slightly, and he gently said, “Hmm.”

Miles let out a huge breath of relief.

Man, he thought, that was a close call!

“Anything else? If not, I’m going to hang up.”

Eric shot Kate’s phone a frosty look, his tone dropping a few degrees. “Nope, not a ‘see kind of goodbye!”

‘see you later‘

Miles quickly ended the call immediately, mumbling while patting his chest, “Man, Eric’s scary vibe. Only Muse seems to get him to chill.”

got that

Kate couldn’t help but laugh as she stashed her phone away.

She then turned her attention to the soup she’d been cooking, which was now ready.

She served up two soup bowls and shared a casual lunch with Eric.

The buzz around HN Studio finally seemed to calm down.

Over on their website, they dropped a sneak peek at some new accessory lines they’ve been working on, which caught people’s attention.

And with that, HN Studio’s rep in the design world was seriously getting better.

Loads of designers lined up to join the team, and Kate was right there, conducting interviews and

bringing in new faces.

George was on the mend at the hospital and managed to make a full recovery, but he had to stick around there for a whole month before he could head back to Summer Estate.

While George was improving, HN Studio was killing it, gathering many new fans left and right. The team–ups between Davison Group, Clover Company, and Lowe Group dropped some new designs that flew off the shelves. Some of those pieces sold for crazy high prices, making these three hot topics everywhere.

Maia Bowman, who used to lead the design team at Davison, ended up behind bars for slinging mud at Kate, acting out, and sneaking off with some top–secret information from Davison Group. Looks like she’s not getting out of there any time soon.

Simon, the one spreading all those lies, also

got locked

And about Ruth …

She pushed Holly to go after Kate, sparking other issues and rumours.

Ultimately, she got a seven–year jail sentence for everything she did.

When Ruth heard the verdict, she passed out then and there, and later on, she had a major meltdown in the detention centre, but in the end, she had to accept her fate.

She didn’t get any of the insurance money she was hoping for after Holly’s ‘accidental‘ death.

Holly was found guilty of murder on purpose because she actually drove her car, aiming to hit Kate and others!

So, the insurance folks didn’t pay out anything after Holly passed away.

Ruth ended up being responsible for the remainder of Holly’s debts.

Everything they owned was taken and sold off, and the money was used to pay off what they owed. Still, more was needed to cover everything.

Even after Ruth was released from prison, she still had to work hard to repay her debts.

Kate remained unmoved upon hearing this. After all, Ruth and Simon had brought it upon themselves!

However, Simon proved to be quite cunning. He cleared himself of any blame when transferring assets, pinning everything on Holly and Ruth.

As for himself, he anticipated only temporary imprisonment, planning to resume his activities once released.
