Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 465

Chapter 465 Not My Money

By the time the episode regarding Cecily ended, Katherine and Joshua were already back from their honeymoon.

After the variety show was aired, news of their wedding was made official, and their relationship was confirmed.

Since Katherine's fanbase was primarily women, her followers increased after her wedding was reported. Because of how well things had turned out, Jonice unprecedentedly allowed Katherine to take a break for twenty days for her honeymoon.

After the vacation ended, the couple arrived in Jadeborough late at night. Due to jet lag, Katherine slept till four in the afternoon the following day before she headed out to meet Sophia.

Sophia had just finished a two-hour meeting when she came out of the conference room at four o'clock.

"Ms. Yarrow, you have a meeting with Ms. Quinn now," Felix said.

Sophia remembered the date, but the secretary reminded her nonetheless because she was already running late.

Sophia rushed back to her office and grabbed the handbag she had bid for a few days ago before driving to the clubhouse.

"I'm sorry. I was at a meeting," Sophia apologized upon arrival just as Katherine was about to say something.

Over in the room, the actress yawned and glared at Sophia begrudgingly. "I can't believe you're late for thirty minutes."

Sophia smiled and passed her the bag she brought. "Take this as a token of apology."

Katherine's face lit up instantly. "I'll let you off the hook this time. What is this?" she asked with her brows arched.

"Open it," Sophia urged, pouring a glass of water for herself.

Katherine glanced at her and unwrapped the present in excitement. She was stunned when she saw an Artemis Collection handbag from Arterius—one of the most-coveted limited edition handbags in the world.

To build exclusivity, the company had it written in black and white that the model would not be mass-produced when it was first launched five years ago. To be precise, there were only ten thousand bags of its kind worldwide.

Priced at a staggering eight hundred thousand, the only Artemis Collection handbags available in the market then were all second-hand.

Even then, getting one's hands on it was extremely difficult. After all, people who bought those bags in the first place lacked no money, so it was unlikely that they would sell the bags.

More than a year ago, Katherine had asked her friends to keep an eye out for potential sellers. Although someone in Salinsburgh was willing to sell at two million then, Katherine had no choice but to put the idea on the back burner since she had not saved up enough.

A year passed when she finally had enough and was looking for a seller again. However, Sophia was a step ahead of her when she gave Katherine the surprise she had been dreaming of.

Elated, Katherine threw herself at her friend to hug her, but the latter blocked her off. Despite the unsuccessful attempt to hug Sophia, Katherine was still over the moon. "Soph! You can be late every time we have a date from now on. You can even be late for an hour!"

"This is not happening again," Sophia said, smiling.

Katherine gazed at the bag in the box longingly until she finally put it away in a waterproof wrapping for fear of dirtying it. After she covered the box and put it back in the bag, she asked, "Where did you get this from? I've been asking around for half a year but still couldn't get anyone to sell."

"I got it at an auction," Sophia stated, glancing at her from the corner of her eyes.

"Whoa, it must have cost more than two million, then."

"It's not my money, anyway," Sophia replied nonchalantly.

"Whose money is it?"

The generous buyer piqued her interest.

"Mr. Schild."

"Samuel Schild? Why did he buy you a bag?"

Katherine was confused.
