Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 65 

At night, just as Katherine finished her dinner, Alice called.

Outside the window, the night sky was as dark as ink.

Katherine stood on the balcony, holding a glass of juice, gazing up at the brightly lit moon that illuminated the night sky.

In one hand, she held her phone and asked, "Have you found out?"

"Katherine, you're so smart.How did you know?"

Alice asked in a teasing manner.

After a brief pause, as if she'd realized something, she exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Be honest, Katherine.Did you install a monitoring device on me?!"

Katherine snorted.

"It's not that difficult to guess."

Who else, besides Natalie, enjoyed watching Katherine be involved in rumors and be mocked on social media? Alice, who was on the other end of the line, suddenly thought of something.

She curiously asked, "By the way, what are you doing at the Colburn's Residence this afternoon?"

"It's nothing” Katherine said slowly, as she took a sip of her drink and continued, "My diploma was in Chloe's hands.I was unaware that she had discreetly exchanged it with a fake one- Hearing Katherine's reply, Alice couldn't think of Chloe's intention, so she seriously asked, "What the?! What does she want to do?" NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"Who knows?"

Katherine answered with a shrug.

Then continued, "However, I doubt she would have the guts to do anything with it"

Although it was strange that Zack would personally come back this afternoon to help her get her graduation certificate, she didn't mind it, as retrieving it was easier than expected.

Fortunately, Chloe naturally did not dare to be arrogant and unruly in Zack's presence.

"Then, how did things go between you and Zack?" Alice asked.

Katherine's sudden return to Colburn's Residence became a trending topic on Twitter shortly after leaving.

The news was incredibly hyped and exaggerated, but because of Luke's earlier statement, the netizens were much more sensible and didn't kick her when she was down.

This trending topic had barely climbed to the twenty-second spot before it was removed.

Assuming that Alice was behind this, Katherine was satisfied with Alice's efficiency in this matter.

"Did you immediately ask Secretary Curtis to remove the trending topic?"

Katherine unconsciously raised her eyebrows when she heard of Alice's sudden question.

She then asked, "Aren't you the one who immediately removed this before it even climbed to the top spot?"

Thinking deeply for a moment, Katherine murmured, "I thought you're the one who instantly took it down.”

"But it wasn't me “ Alice replied as she thought of this intriguing matter.

Katherine pursed her lips together, her gaze falling on the orange juice in her hand as she asked, "Then help me check who suppressed this matter.”

Katherine had a feeling that this tweet was either posted by Chloe or Natalie since both of them wanted to see her being humiliated and mocked by everyone.

For these two, if their tweets became a trending topic, Katherine was confident that it was impossible for them to delete it immediately; thus, she could assume that someone was behind this.

Alice agreed.

"I'll ask Helen to check it."

Recalling something, she excitedly said to Katherine, "By the way, you don't have to buy a gown for the Shining Awards Night.I'll prepare one for you"

Honestly, if Alice hadn't mentioned it, Katherine would have completely forgotten to prepare her gown.

Katherine gently smiled as she replied, "Okay."

With that, Katherine swallowed the last drop of her juice.

She informed Alice, "If there's nothing else, I'm going to sleep."

Alice frowned and couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my gosh! It's only a few minutes before it's ten o'clock.Isn't it too early for you to sleep?"

Katherine responded lazily, "It's for my beauty sleep"

Hearing her nonchalant reply, Alice was speechless for a moment.

Alice begrudgingly thought, ‘‘Katherine is already so stunning, but she's still having her own beauty sleep? If others were to hear of this, I'm not sure if they would want to live’’ Katherine said goodnight to Alice before ending the call.

Before she fell asleep, she couldn't stop thinking about the question Zack had asked her earlier this afternoon.

"Did you really love me?"

This question still echoed in her head as if she could hear Zack's accusation behind these words.

At first, Katherine thought it was enough since she had clearly expressed what she felt towards him, but Katherine didn't expect that Zack would never believe a word she had said.

Now, as she thought about it, Katherine felt uneasy and a little worried.

Realizing how this matter had some impact on her, Katherine frowned and dismissed it by thinking, ‘Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore”

Early next morning, Alice called even before Katherine's alarm clock went off.

Due to her sleep being disrupted, Katherine rubbed her temples with an annoyed expression on her face.

She irritatedly asked, "Give me a good reason not to be angry with you!"

Alice was a little frightened as she tightly gripped her phone.

She hurriedly explained herself, "Didn't you ask me last night to verify who took down the trending topic about your sudden visit to the Colburn's Residence? After Helen checked it, I'd never expected that it would be..."

Alice suddenly stopped in the middle of her sentence, keeping Katherine in suspense.

She then asked intriguingly, "Can you guess who it is, Katherine?"

Katherine had roused entirely from her sleep and was amused at Alice's antics.

Katherine replied casually, "It's Zack, " as if not understanding her insinuation.

"Katherine, just be honest.Did you actually put a monitoring device on me?"

Alice asked in an exasperated manner, not expecting Katherine to guess it right.
