Chapter 157 Where Did Katrina Go?

Chase frowned sharply the second he heard that. “What’s gotten into you all of a sudden? I’m not in the mood to deal with tantrums today.”

“Tantrums? You stop right there!”

Katrina stepped forward to block his path, her tone sharp. “Aren’t you planning to drug Nina just to force her into marrying you after she gets pregnant? Your schemes are utterly despicable!”

“Shut your mouth!”

Chase had no idea how she had found out about their plan. With servants still lingering nearby, he panicked that their secret would get exposed. He grabbed Katrina by the arm and dragged her straight into the inner room.

“What nonsense are you spouting out there?”

“Nonsense?” Katrina shot back angrily. “Can you deny that you and your greedy mother have been plotting this all along? You. invited Nina here tonight purely to slip her something and tie her down for good. I will never let you get away with this!”

“Katrina, let me warn you,” Chase said in a stern voice. “This birthday dinner means a great deal to our whole family. Don’t stir up any trouble here. If you behave yourself and cooperate with me, I’ll leave you enough property and money to live comfortably for the rest of your life. But if you dare ruin everything…”

His eyes were filled with obvious threats.

“You think I’m scared of you? Go ahead and do your worst if you dare!”

Katrina gritted her teeth firmly. “I will never let you marry Nina. You belong only to me, and no one else.”

With those words, she spun around and stormed out, slamming the door hard behind her.

A splitting headache washed over Chase. He pressed his fingers against his temples, wondering what on earth had made him marry such a woman in the first place. All she ever did was cause trouble and fly off the handle over trivial things.

Cecilia had caught sight of Katrina storming off in a rage just now. She walked into the room and looked at Chase curiously. “What happened now? What’s wrong with her again?”

“She found out our plan to drug Nina tonight,” Chase replied helplessly.

“What?” Cecilia took a deep breath, her face full of disdain. “That woman is never content with what she has. She didn’t even finish high school, and she has never helped you advance your career one bit. Yet she clings stubbornly to her position as Mrs. Mercer and refuses to let go.”

“Mom, I’m worried she might do something reckless and hurt Nina. Please keep an eye on her for me.

“Leave it all to me. I know plenty of ways to handle her,” Cecilia assured him. “Focus on your own plan tonight. Make sure none of the reporters catch you acting too close to Nina, or it will ruin your public image and hurt the company’s reputation. Wait until all the journalists leave before you carry out your plan.”

“I understand.”

Chase knew full well he had to stay discreet.
