She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 695: He's Using You

"Hehe, quite audacious of you to eavesdrop on our conversation!" The woman walked up to Kate, stood in front of her, and extended a delicate fair hand to lift the girl's chin, forcing her to raise her face and meet her gaze.

Their eyes locked, and Kate's mind instinctively went blank. She felt as if she were floating in the clouds, unable to see what lay ahead. All she could perceive was the beauty of those eyes-so mesmerizing. "Young girl, tell me, what did you hear?" the woman asked.

"I heard everything. You plan to kill Cheyenne," Kate honestly replied.

The woman was satisfied with her response, and her gaze turned sharp and piercing. She gave a fierce glare to the man beside her.

"Did you hear that? She must not be spared!"

"No, you can't harm her!" Master Glenn, fearing that this woman might harm Kate, stepped forward, slapped away her hand, and tightly protected Kate in his embrace.

Gracie let out a cold laugh, leisurely adjusting the pleats on her dress. Her voice sounded seductive and gentle, but it carried a dangerous undertone.

"She'll be a nuisance!"

"No, I'll take care of her," Master Glenn insisted. He would not allow Gracie to harm Kate, not even if it meant using hypnosis to make her forget.

Just as tensions escalated between the two, Kate suddenly snapped out of her brief daze. Anger and disappointment filled her clear and watery eyes. Without hesitation, she delivered a resounding slap to the

man.

Smack!

The sound was loud, even reaching the ears of the maids downstairs. Curiosity piqued, they pushed open the door and discreetly looked upstairs.

It was too dark.

They couldn't see what was happening clearly.

But one thing was certain-there were three people standing there!!!

Shortly after, the villa echoed with Kate's deeply disappointed crying. She struggled to suppress her emotions, but the more she tried, the more she wanted to cry.

"You lied to me!" In the dim night, a clear imprint of five fingers quickly appeared on Master Glenn's handsome face, and he hung his head in silence, offering no response. His lips parted, and silently, he uttered three words-"I'm sorry!"

Kate bit her lip with great force, not even realizing when her lip broke and tasted the metallic flavor of blood. But that pain paled in comparison to the anguish in her heart. She grabbed hold of Master Glenn's collar, looking at him with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. "Qiancheng, tell me. Is all of this fake?"

"You've never met Cheyenne, so why do you want to kill her?"

"In my heart, you have always been a good person. I don't want you to do these things. Can't you ignore the words of this wicked woman?"

Her words struck Master Glenn's soul like drops of rain. He remained silent, shaking his head. "I'm sorry, Kate. This is my destiny, and I can only obey." "What destiny?"

"I don't believe in destiny. Master Glenn, promise me you won't go, okay?"

Kate tugged at his sleeve, tears falling from her eyes like pearls, uncontrollably cascading down like a bursting flood.

"I'm sorry!"

He had to go!

Gracie crossed her arms, watching the two of them like children in a contradictory scene, rolling her eyes in exasperation. She didn't mind breaking his little lover's heart a little more. Opening her red lips, she uttered a chilling truth.

"Tsk tsk tsk... You're still so naive, aren't you? A good person? Perhaps only you see him that way," Gracie taunted. "Do you even know who he is? The renowned Master Glenn of the Weaver family, in reality, is one of the four aces of the Lucas family. Exciting, isn't it?"

Gracie's voice was filled with mockery and pity towards Kate, her gaze cold and disdainful.

"You're really quite naive."

"Shut up!" Master Glenn sternly rebuked her, but unfortunately, it was too late.

Kate suddenly understood a lot. Her trembling voice rang out, suppressing a sob as she asked, "And what about me? Did you also approach me with an ulterior motive?"C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Master Glenn dared not answer that

question. He couldn't even bring himself to look into Kate's eyes, because the answer would create an insurmountable gulf between them, tearing apart the fragile closeness they had fought so hard to establish.

He didn't dare answer, so Gracie answered on his behalf.

"Yes!"

"He approached you solely because you're Cheyenne's friend. I didn't lie to you with this answer."

With tears in her eyes, Kate turned her cold gaze towards the meddlesome woman behind her, her burst of anger directed at her. "I didn't ask you!" "Glenn, Master Glenn! Answer me!"

Under her demanding questioning, Master Glenn finally lifted his head. His deep-set eyes, as vast as the sea, locked onto every expression on her face. His lips parted, uttering a clear word.

"Yes."

Smack!

Another slap landed on his handsome face. When had Master Glenn ever allowed himself to be struck twice without retaliating? Never. He allowed her just because he spoiled her. "You're both so terrifying. I want to stay away from here. I want to find my brother and tell Cheyenne..."

Kate trembled all over. Just moments ago, she was dreaming of a future described by him, but now everything seemed shattered.

She had thought about being his

mistress until his death. She had thought about giving birth to their child, preferably a boy and a girl. Ifåt was a daughter, she would encourage her to learn painting from Cheyenne. If it was a son, she would want him to become a doctor like her brother. And she, after his death, would remain unmarried for the rest of her life.

But Master Glenn dealt her a heavy blow, plunging her from that beautiful dream into an endless icy hell. Her future, her sacrifices, had turned into a cruel joke.

Seeing her frail figure trembling, her

eyes filled with astonishing

determination and disappointment, Master Glenn finally panicked. This terrified him more than taking someone's life.

"Kate, listen to me. Yes, initially I wanted to use you, but later on, I truly fell in love with you."

"Love?" She sarcastically repeated the word, a rare smile appearing on her face.

"Glenn, spare me your hypocrisy. I no longer believe in you. Let's end it here. I won't let myself be deceived any longer."

After uttering these words while enduring the pain in her heart, Kate turned around and ran away, her slippers splashing in the dampness.

Master Glenn chased after her, extending a large hand to grab her arm. "Kate, don't go. Listen to my explanation."

"Don't come near me!"

In her anger, she ran to the staircase, where the lights weren't on, and her slippers were soaked with water.

Her feet slipped, and she tumbled down the stairs.

"Kate!"

In the moment before Kate lost consciousness, she heard his heart-wrenching cry.

She thought, perhaps he had genuinely liked her at some point.

But how could she trust a love that was built upon deception from the very beginning?
