Katrina burst into tears, her face pale and trembling. Chase immediately stepped in, pulling
her behind him.
“Mom, this is where Katrina and I live. She’s my girlfriend. I want you two to get along from now on.”
Katrina blinked in shock. “What do you mean, ‘from now on‘?”
Was Cecilia planning to stay here?
Chase hadn’t told her about the auction–he hadn’t wanted to worry her–but now he had no choice. He pulled her aside and said quietly, “Our house was auctioned off this morning.”
“What?” Katrina stared at him, stunned.
Chase went on, “It’s all because of Nina stirring things up. But don’t worry–I’ll find a way to get the Mercer family’s property back.”
Katrina’s expression darkened.
So did that mean Cecilia would be staying with them in the meantime?
Cecilia walked in and sat down on the couch, dabbing at her tears. Then she glanced at the empty dining table and shot Katrina an irritated look.
“What are you standing around for? It’s already this late, and there’s not a single dish on the table. Are you waiting for Chase to cook for you?”
Facing her future mother–in–law, Katrina quickly stepped forward. “I’m sorry, that’s my fault. I’ll make dinner right away.”
She put on a meek, obedient front, but Cecilia didn’t soften in the slightest.
In her eyes, if it weren’t for Katrina meddling, Chase would already be with Nina.
Katrina swallowed her resentment. After all, the Mercer family was still wealthy by any standard–a fallen giant was still stronger than most.
Who knew? They might recover in a few days.

Besides, she was living comfortably here, in a spacious apartment with luxury cars at her disposal. If she left Chase now, she’d be left with nothing.
The next day, news of the Mercer family’s bankruptcy spread quickly through the papers.
When their classmates saw the headline, they could hardly believe it. Just a few days ago, Chase had insisted his family would never go under. The turnaround was almost instant.
Around that time, a group of students from Class A rushed in from the hallway, buzzing with excitement.
“Did you guys see the notice board outside? Chase and Katrina were caught secretly kissing in the school field! I heard they even went up to the rooftop at noon to… You know.”
They spoke with such vivid detail that it sounded like they’d witnessed it themselves.
Pinned to the board was a report letter, accusing Chase and Katrina of having an inappropriate relationship on campus.
Before long, Bruce summoned both of them to his office.
