A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 167

The dining table was quiet as Catherine and Rome had their breakfast. But she was all smiles as she bit into her toast.

"What is it?" Rome asked, looking adoringly at her.

"Nothing. I'm just happy." Catherine mumbled without losing her smile.

Slightly shaking his head, Rome gave a brief chuckle before focusing on his bowl of strawberries.

It got quiet again, but two minutes later, Daniel, the head of the house security, walked into the dining room, disturbing the quietness as he said, "Ma'am, your cousin's husband is here."

"Dash?" Catherine asked, frowning faintly. "Why is he at our home this early?!"

"Allow him inside, and take him to the living room." Rome calmly uttered.

Nodding slightly, Daniel looked at him and said, "Yes, boss."

Then he turned around and walked out of the dining room.

"Did Chloe not contact Dash already to tell him where she is?!" Catherine said in annoyance.

"Hey, it's fine. Finish your food, and we can confront Dash together. Okay?" Rome said, gazing at her.

Even though Catherine was still annoyed, she nodded before focusing on her food.

A couple of minutes later, she and Rome got done with breakfast and left for the living room.

The moment they walked into the room and Dash's sight rested on Rome, he jumped to his feet and shouted, "You bastard!"

A frown settled on Rome's face as he watched Dash rush towards him.

When Dash was just a step away from Rome, he suddenly threw a punch, catching Rome off-guard, and his fist slammed against the right corner of Rome's mouth.

"What is wrong with you!" Catherine shouted, feeling shocked and enraged.

The feeling of anger stirred within Rome when he felt a warm liquid roll down his lip, and in that instant, Dash went in for his second hit.

But Rome grabbed his wrist, tightly in his grip, and with his other hand, he smashed his elbow into the side of Dash's head, the soft spot high on the temple.

As the pain tore through his head, Dash took a step back only to receive a vicious hit from Rome against his chest, causing him to take two more steps back before dropping to the floor.

Struggling to catch his breath, Dash aggressively coughed until he spat out blood onto the marble, white tile.

"Now, I advise you to think twice before getting your ass up and attempting another attack again!!" Rome coldly uttered, wiping the blood off his lips.

"I thought you had some decency. Who knew you were just an asshole!" Dash screamed in rage. "Was Catherine not fucking enough for you! Did you have to sleep with my wife too!"

"What are you talking about?" Catherine asked in confusion.

"Your husband and my wife were in Archenland together! Did he tell you that?"

"I know that already, Dash!"

"Okay! Okay then, he must have also told you how he slept with my wife!"

Drawing her brows together into a frown, Catherine looked at Rome for a moment before glaring at Dash and saying, "Nothing happened between my husband and Chloe. She tried to come on to him, bu…"

"Hoho! Is that the garbage he fed you! That she tried to seduce him, but nothing happened!" Dash mockingly said. "You are so fucking naive, Catherine! He slept with Chloe, and I have evidence. The whole world has the proof!"

In that instant, there were so many thoughts running through Catherine's head, and she tried to fight off the negative ones, but they were the ones that were louder and convincing than the rest.

"What nonsense are you spitting out?! I never slept with Chloe!" Rome casually uttered with a frown.

A bitter laugh escaped Dash's lips as he reached into his pocket. Then he pulled out his phone, tossed it at Catherine's feet, and said, "Oh, really! Then what the hell is this!"

Striving to stop her body from shivering, Catherine gazed down at the phone with a look of hesitation in her eyes and took a deep breath.

Then she reached for it and grabbed it off the floor before looking at the video on the screen.

"Play it!" Dash harshly said, looking her dead in the eyes.

Slowly, Catherine turned her head to stare at Rome, and when their gaze met, he could see tears welling up in her eyes.

"I didn't sleep with your cousin." Rome slowly said while focusing solely on her teary eyes.

A mirthless laugh echoed out of Dash's mouth as he glared at Rome with hurt in his eyes. Then without thinking straight for a second, he harshly uttered, "You are full of shit, you know that, right?! just because you help my family and me, you think I will be okay with you screwing my wife!"

Suddenly, the room grew silent when Catherine hit the play button, and the three of them heard Chloe's voice flowing from the phone speaker, "Rome Ford!"
