“Now your mom can finally be at ease. Once your marriage matter is settled, she won’t have to worry anymore,” Valerie said.

The Santos family had been in turmoil because of Angel, but she had passed the issue on to Fred. The most challenging person to deal with now was Katherine. However, once she goi married, everything would have no issues.

Lindsey hadn’t been a problem. Instead, Katherine had previously attempted suicide over a relationship. She had been very naive and quickly got deeply involved, which was why Vivian had been worried; rather than letting her go through that again, she would find a high–quality man instead.

“By the way. Valeric, your crew probably had to speed up the filming process, right?” Katherine asked.

Valerie nodded. “Yes, we were in the final stretch before the end of the year, making sure we could release it on Christmas Day. We had a shoot tomorrow, and you were coming with me.”

Katherine didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she checked her planner. “Let me see my schedule” She frowned and continued, Tve scheduled meetings at the Car Cafe soon. Her business had suddenly become very popular,

Hearing g this, Valerie quickly stopped her. Then don’t go. I’ll visit you at the Cat Cafe another time when I’m free”

Katherine thought for

a moment and agreed. “Alright, then I’ll be watching you on TV. By the way. I’ll catch the show on Christmas Day”

Valerie said thoughtfully, “I understand. Matthew will be there with me as well. I didn’t want you stuck at home, so Linvited you. If you have other -commitments, prioritize those.”

Katherine smiled, recalling that the recent events had affected her, which was why she had focused so intently on work. She also managed the Cat Cafe very efficiently. Valerie finally went downstairs after chatting with Katherine in die room and confirming her intentions.

Seeing Vivian, Valerie shared the good news with her. Vivian immediately clasped her hands together and smiled broadly. “Really! That’s wonderful news, Lalways knew Katherine was a lucky girl. It’s great to see her hardships finally paying off.

There was something she hadn’t said out loud; she would never have said something like this in front of Valerie, Vivian thought, ‘As long as Katherine agrees to be with Dale, she can stay far away from Julian, that lowly man. He should look at himself in the mirror and see what kind of person he is before associating with our family:

However, Valerie quickly noticed the disdain in her eyes. Vivian didn’t avoid her true feelings at all. It was uncertain how things would turn out this time, especially since Julian wasn’t around.

Valerie hoped that Katherine would find happiness. From a friend’s perspective, marriage and romance differ, with loyalty and emotional support being the most critical factors. It remained to be seen whether Dale could provide that

But for now, she had more important things to focus on. Valerie headed to the set, where the entire crew worked around the clock as the New Year approached. They needed to wrap up all the shooting quickly to ensure the film could be released on Christmas Day.

Once she arrived on set, Valerie wanted to ask Dale about his pursuit of Katherine. However, she couldn’t find him anywhere. He wasn’t in the makeup room, so she glanced around and grabbed a nearby crew member. Have you seen Dale?”

The crew member pointed to a nearby area and said, “He’s over there; I just saw him walk past.”

Valerie nodded and lifted her dress as she walked over. However, when she reached the corner, she saw Dale engaged in a lively conversation with another female star. They laughed and chatted, and the girl even playfully patted Dale’s arm, looking quite intimate.

Valerie frowned deeply, thinking, “What’s going on with him! Even though they haven’t established a relationship, being an close with a female star on set and so open about it is appropriate?” Understanding the differences between men and women Valerie couldn’t help but sulk. She turned and walked away…

Dale turned and seemed to notice her retreating figure. He was momentarily taken aback and quickly ran after her. “Valeriel” Valerie turned around at the sound of her name and looked at him, waiting for his response,

Dale smiled and said, “I appreciate your help last time.”

“Thirlped you?” Valerie asked.

“About the photo! In officially pursuing her now, but she hasn’t agreed yet. I considered consulting with Amy Dean to see what gift might benefit her. I hope it will make an impression.”

Valerie looked enlightened and asked, “No

So you were d

were discussing gilu?“

Dale smiled and explained. “She’s a woman and has been pursued by many. I know she’s received quite a few gifts, so I wanted to ask what kind of gift usually makes a girl the happiest

–

Valerie found it a bit odd but couldn’t quite pinpoint why. She thought, Shouldn’t asking about gifts involve consulting the person themselves or

their close friends? Why ask someone who has no direct connection to Katherine and wouldn’t know her preferences?

Just as Valerie was about to speak, Matthew approached. Seeing her with Dale, he immediately became jealous and asked, “What are you two

chatting about so happily!”
