A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 186

A look of hesitation crossed Catherine's face, and then she mumbled, "I don't know. I was too mad at you for lying to me that it didn't cross my mind to check who the sender was."

Without replying to her, Rome walked over to the couch, took out his phone from his coat pocket, and then scrolled through it for a moment.

Then his eyes darkened, and he looked at Catherine's phone for a moment before focusing back on his screen.

"What is it?" Catherine asked, noticing how serious his face had become.

"It was the puppets' master," Rome said, feeling a sense of anger rising in him. "He's not only after me! He's watching you too!"

Frowning, Catherine woke from the bed, approached Rome, and stared at her phone screen and then his.

Then she frowned and said, "But why would he send me these pictures?"

Clutching his fist, Rome met her darting eyes and subconsciously said, "Isn't it crystal clear! The same reason they tried to set me up with Chloe. Whoever this person is, they want to break us up, Catherine."

Those words made sense to Catherine, and yet, it still confused her, "Bu... Why would he think these pictures would cause conflict between us."

For a moment, it grew silent between them. Then a bitter laugh escaped Rome's lips as anger spiked in his eyes.

"Who did you tell about my whereabouts yesterday?" Rome asked with a straight expression.

"I don't know," Catherine mumbled without giving it a thought.

Then her eyes suddenly widened as she gazed at Rome and shouted out, "Mini!"

"Our maid, Mini?" Rome asked, lowering his brows.

"Yes. She seemed rather concerned about setting up a plate for you last night, and I told her that you were at a business meeting!"

"That calculative bastard! They found out that I lied to you about the meeting and thought that sending the picture would start something between us."

Suddenly, all the displaced pieces of the puzzle started to fit together in Rome's head, and then he firmly uttered, "It makes sense. If you want to know more about someone, plant a spy in their home!"

"Are you saying, Mini is also a puppet in his game?" Catherine asked, ignoring the feeling of annoyance she felt after Rome abruptly confessed to lying to her about the meeting.

"I don't know. It could be her or anyone in this damn house! Who knows how many of their people they have infiltrated into our lives!"

"But she was the only one who asked about you that night?"

"Yes, but she could have passed the information to anyone who had asked her."

Silence followed Rome's remark. Then after a couple of quiet minutes, Rome's face grew serious as he looked at Catherine and said, "Your father said that you give your uncles and cousins access back into DreamTeam. Please tell me, you are not honest about that?"

When Catherine didn't answer, a look of disbelief crossed Rome's face, and he firmly said, "No! That's not happening!"

"It's not like I was the one who paved the way for them! It was this so-called puppets' master who somehow got Charles shares in the company without my knowledge!" Catherine said in annoyance.

"What?"

"And there's nothing I can do about it because all of the paperwork is legal!"

"Are you sure!"

Noticing the look of hesitation on Catherine's face, Rome frowned and said, "I'm getting a lawyer to look into it! And until we can have Charles out of there, you can not allow the rest in!"

“You must be kidding, right?” Catherine asked, feeling an instant sense of remorse.
