Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 91 

Katherine immediately returned to her villa after parting with Aidan.

Just like others, she disliked going out in the winter and preferred to stay in the comforts of her own home and laze around.

When she arrived home, Katherine turned on the heater and sat in the theater room, watching the movie while browsing on her Twitter and looking for the netizens’ opinions.

Unexpectedly, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, the surprising news of Natalie's famous and acclaimed paintings, which were actually bought from an unknown painter, was released.

Who would have thought that none of her works were created by her, but rather by someone else? According to the news, the Cooper Family had allegedly spent a lot of money and resources for ten years and purchased the copyrights from an unknown painter just to give Natalie a smooth sailing career.

If it weren't for Katherine's sudden appearance and becoming Zack's wife, given that Natalie was a brilliant and renowned painter, she should be the best candidate vying for the "Mrs.Colburn" position.

Unfortunately, Zack and Katherine's marriage ruined the Cooper Family's plan.

Natalie could only retreat and be Zack's "childhood sweetheart" and chose to study abroad and wait for the chance to marry Zack after Katherine and he were divorced.

Of course, Katherine and Alice were the only ones aware of these matters, but onlookers on Twitter were still clueless.

Nonetheless, the fact that the famous paintings under Natalie's name were not even hers, to begin with, ultimately sparked public outrage.

The protection of intellectual property in the country was regarded as very critical in recent years.

Thus, Natalie's reputation as a gifted woman was shattered.

However, a complete investigation was released that showed how Power Wave Company was facing a financial crisis this year.

Considering that the Cooper Family had no hope in Natalie having an intimate relationship with Zach, Natalie had no choice but to enter the entertainment industry to earn money to save their family business.

Naturally, Alice was only responsible for releasing this news.

The one who really provided the information and who decided on when it should be released was Katherine.

After seeing how Natalie had been wreaking havoc in Katherine's life and refusing to let her go even after she had divorced Zack, Katherine decided that revealing this news on this particular day was both a timely and quite fitting to retaliate against Natalie.

Hence, Katherine decided to be ruthless, revealing the truth when Natalie was meant to sign a contract with her new manager.

In the entertainment industry, the more popular you were, the more money you could earn, so Katherine not only shattered Natalie's dreams of becoming an artist but also her way of generating income.

However, their investigation suggested that Natalie's unethical behavior was not just claiming someone else's works.

Though it was not yet revealed, Katherine had plenty of time to uncover it one by one.

Also, she had money to investigate this matter.

After the issue of Natalie's painting was disclosed to the public, it quickly became a trending topic in less than an hour.

Alice called at five o'clock in the evening when Katherine was preparing the ingredients for the steak and mushroom soup.

Katherine wiped her hands dry before pressing the accept button and switching the phone to speaker mode.

She asked, "Isn't the film festival scheduled today?"

Every industry was bustling at the end of the year, so there were several annual galas that needed to be attended.

Alice was still in Y City yesterday, and she flew to S City this morning.

In Z City, there was another annual film convention, and Alice had to fly there once more.

"Well, it hasn't started yet.By the way, it's so chilly here.I really want to wear a trench coat."

Alice said, her voice trembling a bit due to the cold. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Katherine raised an eyebrow and asked, "It's negative five degrees in S City today, right? Why are you not wearing any coat? Are you not afraid you'll freeze to death?"

Alice let out a snort.

"I'm the noble queen! I may perish from the cold, but I won't die looking so unsightly.Never mind, how could you relate to this, anyway? Did you see the trending topic this afternoon? I heard from Helen that

Natalie's agent seemed to be exploiting it to boost Natalie's popularity when she enters the entertainment industry!"

When Katherine heard this, she was not surprised.

"Then let her be happy for a few days."

This was what Katherine had wanted from the start.

The more Natalie climbed higher, the harder she would fall! Alice spat out with an incredulous tone, "I don't understand why Natalie is so shameless!"

"Perhaps she's getting poorer, so she was quite desperate to become popular” Katherine replied as she chuckled.

Alice was speechless for a moment.

As such, she couldn't help but dramatically say, "Oh, then I am poorer than Natalie!"

While Katherine looked at the pot of mushroom soup, she gently replied, "But you have Luke and me’

"Omg, I'm touched!"

Alice joked, but her heart still felt warm.

Katherine said goodbye and hung up the call as she heard Helen calling Alice again in the background.

After eating the steak and mushroom soup she had prepared alone in the comfort of her home, she felt stuffed in the evening.

The steaming mushroom soup was really satisfying in the winter.

Katherine was also in a good mood as two pleasing things happened today.

The following day, it snowed for the first time in Y City, and the yard downstairs was covered in a thick layer of snow.

Since Katherine was in the mood to play outside, she hurriedly changed her clothes and went downstairs to build a snowman.

Halfway through, Celine called her and asked if she would attend the company's annual meeting at the end of the year.

Katherine directly refused.

Katherine still wasn't keen on showing her face in public, just like before.

Even though the snow continued to fall, Katherine noticed that half of the snowman's body she had created had melted when she ended the call.

She slid the phone back into her pocket and shrugged off the snowflakes that had fallen onto her head.

"Hi..."
