Katherine’s performance immediately made Caleb float in the air.

Hearing her words, Caleb glanced at himself in the mirror.

The man in the reflection indeed had a hint of handsomeness, no wonder Katherine couldn’t stop thinking about him. Although he still had some doubts, he thought, ‘It’s just a video call. What’s the worst that could happen?”

Meeting her wouldn’t be a big deal, and if Katherine was really infatuated with him. She did have a lot of money.

Caleb’s mind was racing. “Alright, a video call it is

After hanging up. Caleb straightened himself up. To look a bit more handsome, he even dampened a comb with water and ran it through his hair, but he kept quiet, afraid of waking Ashley, who was sleeping outside.

Katherine’s video call request came quickly. Caleb sat on the toilet and answered it. On the other end was Katherine’s familiar face. Though she looked a bit weary, it was undeniable that young women like her, with money and style, were in a league far above Ashley.

Upon eeing the woman in front of him, his heart couldn’t help but stir. ‘She is still so beautiful, he wondered.

On the video, Katherine felt a surge of anger at the sight of Caleb’s face. Thinking of their past, she must have been blind to fall for such a man.

Now, she could not help but pretend to be happy when she saw the smug look on Caleb’s face.

“Caleb, you’ve lost weight. You’ve suffered for so long because of me. It’s my fault for making you endure all this. I want to see you. Can you come over? Are you at a hotel? Are you in Kranion City?”

Caleb was startled and quickly denied it. “No, I wouldn’t dare be in Kranson City. I don’t even dare enter the city. I follow Louis’s orders without question.”

Hearing this, Katherine lowered her head, her eyes shimmering as if she had really cried.

Valerie, watching from the side, couldn’t help but be impressed. The acting was flawless, and she could see that Caleb had taken the bait.

The next step was to give Caleb a lite push, making sure he bit the hook even harder…

As Katherine sobbed with her head down, Caleb scrutinized her surroundings. He noticed that the setting looked remarkably like a hospital room. Could it be that Katherine misses me so much that she fell ill, unable to sleep, and ended up hospitalized?‘ as he thought to himself, Caleb was stunned.

“My charm must be off the charts!‘ he wondered.

Katherine cried enough and then looked up, her face still glistening with tears, and whimpered, “Caleb, let’s have a meal together. Can you sneak back to Kranson City? I really want to see you again. I think about you day and night.

“You… you really can’t forget about me?”

“Of course. Just come back to Kranson City to see me one more time. I beg you. If you do. I’ll give up on all the blind dates Louis sets up for me

After saying this, Katherine added. “It’s gettled then, okay? If you’re willing to come back and see me, I’ll do anything for you. By the way, I can’t let you cover the travel expenses. Add me back on WhatsApp, and I’ll transfer 2 thousand dollars to you. Consider it for a first–class ticket so you can travel comfortably.

Caleb was taken aback when he heard this, but just as he was still unsure, he received her friend request and accepted it immediately.

The next second, 2 thousand dollars was transferred to his account.

This was real money.

If Katherine doesn’t care about me anymore, why would she transfer money? Caleb wondered. Caleb checked the balance again and again. Money didn’t lie, and he naturally believed her suddenly overjoyed. Indeed, she was a noble young lady of means, generously giving 2 thousand dollars for travel expenses

Seeing the greed flash in his eyes, Katherine smirked coldly.

Valerie was right about Caleb. He was greedy, lustful, and driven by profit. Unfortunately, Katherine hadn’t realized this when she was head over heels in love with him. However, it was his unchanging greed that allowed her to reel him in today.

Caleb was so focused on the numbers that he didn’t notice the disdain that briefly crossed Katherine’s face.

To Katherine, 2 thousand dollars wasn’t even enough to buy a handbag. But to Caleb now, it was enough to last a month.

And this was just the travel expense. If he went back, there might be other expenses too… If he could win her back, he’d have everything he wanted. Even if Louis opposed it, it wouldn’t matter.

Caleb’s heart was pounding with excitement, he almost couldn’t resist saying yes right away, eager to meet Katherine immediately.

But he had to play his part convincingly, so he pretended to hesitate. “Alright, Katherine, I’m taking a big risk coming bark with Julian around. You need to be extra careful. Where do we meet? You decide the place.”

“Tomorrow at noon, at Kranson Century Hotel, don’t be late. I’ll be waiting for you,” Katherine said, blowing him a kiss.

“Alright.” Caleb smiled broadly, catching her kiss and blowing two kisses back at her.

What Caleb couldn’t imagine was that as soon as the call ended, Katherine clutched the trash can and retched. This time, she truly vomited Luckily, she had only had some water earlier. Otherwise, she would have thrown up badly.

Valerie quickly patted her back, and Katherine looked up with a cold smile. “Valerie, he agreed. I lured him out with just 2 thousand dollars. If I had known it was this casy, I would have acted sooner and had someone beat him up.”

Valerie chuckled. “No rush now. On Caleb is head over heels for you again, he’ll do anything for money. Think about it. The prestigious status of the Louisfamily’s young lady is far above Ashley’s. By then, the two of them will definitely clash. We can take them down one by one without any problem.”

Katherine nodded, confident Caleb was hooked. “I can’t wait to meet him tomorrow. I’ll head back and change into something nice to dazzle him. Lindsey’s outfits are perfect, sexy and revealing. Caleb will be head over heels.”

Katherine was full of energy, not noticing Julian’s frown and worried sigh from the side.

When Ashley woke up, she saw Caleb grooming himself in front of the mirror, and she was surprised. “Where are you going. and why are you wearing cologne?”

Caleb started his act again. “You wouldn’t believe it. The boss said that although our investment amount was too small to qualify, seeing my sincerity, he’s taking me to see the world.”

Ashley was skeptical. “Do you need cologne to meet with the bos

bumpkins and be excluded by the big bosses. Today is crucial, and it’s all on me. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure we come out on top.”

He bent down and kissed Ashley on the cheek. “Sweetheart, wait for my good news.”

Ashley’s eyes lit up. “Where is it?”

“In…” He was about to say the Century Hotel but quickly changed course. “At the Fantua Hotel. But it’s best if you don’t come along. These business moguls are very secretive. If they find out, I might get kicked out.”

Hearing this, Ashley nodded repeatedly. Caleb was right. Those wealthy bosses were hard to please, and she didn’t want to cause any trouble for Caleb.

“Alright, you go ahead. Don’t worry
