Winner Takes All novel Chapter 391

Katherine’s body trembled, her heart was beating faster and faster.

She could feel the frostiness that Lyndall was emitting in her bones.

She shivered.

Lyndall let out a foul breath.

He then let go of Katherine who was scared to death. He smiled oddly and looked at Willy, “Willy, invite them over. I want to meet them.”

“Okay.”

Willy nodded and left.

Katherine finally snapped out of it and whimpered, “Lyndall, listen to me. This incident is really…”

Lyndall said coldly without letting her finish, “I believe you. But this thing has to come to an end, and I’ll help you.

Katherine stood blankly on the spot as if she were struck by lightning.

End things?

How?

She knew what kind of power Lyndall possessed. When Lyndall said to “end things”, she could only imagine the worst outcome possible.

She felt a shiver down her spine.

“Now, you should tell me about what happened in the past.”

Lyndall sat back down on the chair. He looked emotionless and stern.

Willy investigated Katherine’s past under his order. But Katherine’s parents and her brother sullied his name in public all of a sudden when the investigation was about to come to an end. The whole city was in turmoil because of it.

Lyndall’s patience was running thin. He decided to ask Katherine directly about it instead.

Katherine had a complicated look on her face. Her hands were clasped together.

After a long silence, she finally told her story.

Time passed slowly.

Lyndall listened to her quietly. His frown got deeper and deeper the more he listened.

As Katherine was telling her story, she observed how Lyndall’s expression changed.

She rose from the ashes and was finally human again. She felt like she was finally respected as a human being after meeting Lyndall. After some consideration, she decided to trust Lyndall.

But what her parents and her brother did shattered her newly woven dream.

She didn’t wish to marry the rich like before.

But now she just wanted to be with someone, have a family with them and grow old happily together.

Seeing how hard Lyndall was grimacing, Katherine felt like her dream was no longer achievable.

She was done talking.

Lyndall was quiet.

After about a minute, Lyndall finally said, “So, you divorced Jack because of your parents and your brother?”

“It was my fault,” Katherine wasn’t trying to make an excuse.

“It was indeed.”

Lyndall smirked, “You thought you were being useful by being biased and not seeing the truth from a neutral standpoint. But in their eyes, you were nothing. Wait, you were something. You were their golden goose.”

Lyndall said plainly, without holding back.

Katherine’s expression changed, her heart throbbed violently.

Lyndall sat up straight, “Mr. Hughes is a kind man. If I were him…”

A burst of sinister laughter made the temperature in the room drop.

Katherine blanched.

Lyndall raised his hand and rubbed them together, he said, “Your mom swindled a lot of money from Mr. Hughes. You guys left shortly after that. Why did you and your family severe ties after that?”

Lyndall wasn’t stupid.

Katherine was telling her story in detail, but Lyndall was still aware that she was choosing her words carefully and that she left a part out.

And Katherine did leave some stuff out.
