A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 97

From the moment Catherine set her eyes on Estelle, she wasn't a fan of hers. But the lustful look in Estelle’s eyes as she stared at Rome was getting on Catherine's nerve and making her really despise her.

With a cold expression, Rome gazed at Estelle for a moment. Then he narrowed his eyes and tried to walk past her, but she hastily rested her palm against his chest, causing him to stop.

“What do you think you are doing?” Catherine coldly uttered, glaring at her.

However, Estelle ignored her, fluttered her lashes as she drew her hand to her side, and sweetly said, “I'm sorry. I just want to ask where the bathroom was.”

“Estelle,” Charles called out as he walked over to them.

When he came closer, she immediately looked away from Rome and stared at him with a sweet smile on her lips.

“Why are you here? I thought you were heading to the bathroom?” Charles asked as he rested his hand around her waist.

“I'm sorry, love. I lost my way, and I was just asking for direction.” Estelle softly uttered with a naive expression.

Feeling a bit weird out, Catherine frowned and thought, ‘Love? How long have they been dating for her to be so bold to call him such a name?’

Swaying her gaze away from Charles, Estelle focused her gaze back on Rome's eyes, and her lips curved into a gentle smile.

But Rome took Catherine's hand in his, coldly gazed at Estelle, and firmly said, “Don't you dare touch me again!”

As he was about to walk away with Catherine, Charles lashed out, “What do you think you are telling my guest! Do you know who you are speaking to!”

“I don't give a damn who she is. What I do know is that I don't want her putting her hands on me, so keep her in line!” Rome harshly said.

Consumed by rage, Charles shouted, “You, good-for-nothing fool! Who the hell do you take yourself as!”

With rage glowing in his eyes, Rome let go of Catherine's hand and took a step toward him.

Out of fear, Charles wanted to take a step back, but in an effort to maintain his image, he stood his ground.

When Rome was just a step away from Charles, he fixed his icy gaze and said, “I will humiliate you if you don't get a grip on your tongue.”

Then he swayed his gaze to Estelle and glowered at her before taking Catherine by the hand and leading her away from Charles and Estelle.

However, they didn't walk a far distance when the rest of the family came rushing into the hallway.

“What is going on here? We heard Charles scream.” Madam Rosey asked with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Then she frowned when her gaze rested on Rome, assuming that he might be the reason behind Charles’s anger.

Now that he had backup, Charles was about to blurt out his complaints against Rome, when Estelle cut him off and softly said, “It's not something I want to see turn into an issue, so I'm hoping that we can all ignore it and get back to dinner.”

Knowing that she was someone of great importance, Madam Rosey swallowed down her anger and said, “Of course, and I apologize if Rome did something to offend you. He's useless in every aspect of his life except when it comes to causing problems for our family!”

With a half-smile on her lips, Estella gazed at Rome, and when Catherine glanced at her, she knew exactly what her stare meant.

So Catherine held on to Rome's hand and pulled him along with her as she walked away from the crowd.
