She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 694: Conversation in the Study

In a drowsy state, Kate unconsciously murmured a few words and instinctively reached out towards the empty spot beside her pillow.

But all she touched was the vacant warmth of a soft swan pillow.

Huh?

Where is he?

The room was pitch black, so quiet that not a single sound could be heard.

She reached over to the phone on the cabinet and checked the time. It was only 9 PM. At this time, Master Glenn would usually be in the study, reading documents.

Pushing through the exhaustion in her body, she got out of bed and picked up the shirt at the foot. It was Master Glenn's shirt, and due to their height difference, the shirt reached her thighs, barely covering her buttocks.

Fortunately, at this time, the maids in the house had all returned to their rooms to rest, so she didn't have to worry about being seen in this attire.

When Kate reached the entrance of the study, she noticed that the door wasn't completely closed. A faint yellow light seeped out from the room, casting a subtle angle on the floor where the door met. Her gaze was involuntarily drawn to this glimmer of light.

She heard the sound of conversation coming from inside the room, causing her steps to abruptly halt. She bent her body slightly, pressing her ear against the door.

"Shane has returned to the Itoh family, and they want you to assist him," a woman's voice spoke.

The voice sounded cool and clean, exuding an aura of elegance. From this voice, one could deduce that the woman was young.

And the one answering her was another familiar deep, low voice.

Even if Kate closed her eyes, she would know without thinking who it belonged to.

"I'm not going!"

"You have to. Don't forget what your mission is. Once it's accomplished, we will help you achieve what you desire. Master Glenn, you know that orders cannot be disobeyed," the woman insisted. There was a momentary pause, followed by a bone-chilling laughter from the woman.

"Could it be because of your lover? Are you getting scared?" she taunted.

The moment Kate was mentioned, an intimidating aura emanated from Master Glenn. His ice-cold deep-set eyes locked onto the woman's fair and enchanting face, as he fiercely warned, "I'm warning you, not a single hair of hers should be harmed!"

The woman was not intimidated by his presence. Instead, she let out a melodious laughter, biting her finger seductively. With a captivating posture, she sat diagonally on the desk.

This posture caused her split dress to reveal a fair and delicate thigh. The slender heels of her shoes made an unforgettable sight on the ground.

"Tsk tsk tsk, since you don't want any harm to come to your lover, it's in your best interest to obey orders. Tomorrow, you will go to Jostrana! Once Cheyenne gets hold of that last piece of the map, kill her!"

The woman's voice was resolute as she uttered those last two words.

In her tone, there was a permeating intention to kill.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Boom!

Kate was completely stunned, rooted to the spot. Her mind went blank, only echoing with those two words the woman had just spoken.

Kill her!

They, they wanted to kill Cheyenne?

Master Glenn was one of them.

The man who had been gentle and loving towards her turned out to be a complete villain.

Why were they targeting Cheyenne?

Kate couldn't believe that the words she heard were true. If possible, she would rather believe that it was all just a dream-a terrifying nightmare. However, dreams eventually come to an end. When she was too startled and helpless, she accidentally kicked the vase at the entrance of the study.

Crash!

The exquisite vase fell to the ground, and the fragile ceramic instantly shattered into countless pieces.

The vase broke and the water inside spilled all over the floor. Splashes of water wetted her cute pink kitten slippers, and the outdoor temperature was low enough that Kate soon felt a chilling sensation spreading from her feet.

Just as she was about to run away, a silver dagger flew out from the room and came straight towards her.

Its speed was so fast that all she could see was a blur.

Despite knowing that this deadly weapon was coming towards her, her body was unresponsive, as if her feet were weighed down by lead.

Since she couldn't escape, Kate had no choice but to resign herself to closing her eyes.

"Ah..."

An involuntary scream escaped her lips.

"Stop!"

A furious voice came from inside the room, filled with anger and darkness.

It was Master Glenn!

Kate didn't feel the anticipated pain because just as the silver dagger was about to pierce her, a hand suddenly appeared on her shoulder. The man forcefully pulled her into his embrace.

Interestingly, the small dagger that

was supposed to take her life

returned to the hands of its wielder the moment she heard Master

Glenn's voice. It turned out that the

woman had attached two transparent fishing lines to the handle of the small dagger, allowing her to control it freely.

After retrieving the dagger, the fishing lines quickly retracted and wound themselves onto a circular reel. The reel was tied to the woman's smooth and elastic thigh, concealed by a black bow-shaped garter. The black satin and her fair

thigh complemented each of

beautifully.

In the next moment, the bright red silk dress was dropped, covering the captivating exposed thigh and hiding the reel and dagger. The woman, wore a pair of red patent leather high heels, a red silk dress with butterfly-shaped buttons, and her long hair was pinned up with a metallic letter hairpin.

As Kate lifted her gaze, the woman's face gradually revealed itself in the air.

She was incredibly beautiful!

But there was no doubt that she was dangerous.

Like a poppy swaying in the wind, the more beautiful it was, the more poisonous it became.

In that instant, as Kate saw her, she couldn't help but feel a deep sense of inferiority. Any man would choose such a enchantress.

What was the relationship between Master Glenn and this woman?

The thought of them being lovers caused bitterness and jealousy to well up in Kate's heart.
