Chapter 700 Preparing for Pregnancy
Catherine left with Zobber and the others. Connie gave Audrey some medicine, and Audrey had already fallen asleep peacefully.
She was now in Triston’s mansion. Even if the media found out, they would hesitate due to Triston’s reputation and not easily enter. Audrey was safest here.
Zobber owned a bar in Loxton, satisfying her occasional desire for drinks. “Come on, Catherine, Connie, order whatever you want. It’s on me.”
Connie took the drink menu from Zobber and raised her eyebrows. “Wow, so generous. Then get me ten of your most expensive ones.”
“No problem!” Zobber was very generous. Just ten drinks wouldn’t be too extravagant for her. “Catherine, what about you?” she asked.
“A cup of hot water,” Catherine said.
Zobber was shocked, looking at Catherine in disbelief. “Are you sure it’s hot water and not the elixir of life?”
Catherine didn’t respond, but her eyes carried an attitude that brooked no refusal. Understanding her, Zobber called the waiter as instructed.
After arranging the drinks, Zobber couldn’t help but mutter, “I thought you were preparing for pregnancy, coming to a bar to order hot water.”
Upon hearing this, Connie, sitting nearby, suddenly spewed the wine in her mouth. “Preparing for pregnancy?” Connie seriously doubted she misheard. “Isn’t Catherine studying?”
Catherine gave Zobber a cold glance, frightening her almost to her knees. ” Catherine, my bad. I just spoke without thinking. Forgive me. I promise not to say such things next time.”
As they chatted, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open.
Ronin walked in with Withal. Seeing the odd expressions on the faces of the three inside the room, and Zobber looked terrified, he found it strange.
“What are you guys talking about? Why does everyone’s expression seem off?” he asked.
Zobber glanced cautiously at Catherine. Seeing her remain silent, Zobber didn’t dare to relax and could only vent her emotions toward Ronin. “Why do you need to know? When we girls are doing something, what business is it of yours?
Facing Zobber’s retorting, Ronin was quite displeased. “Are you serious? I don’t agree with what you said. You’re a witch, a bad woman…”
Listening to their childish conversation, the others shook their heads. Withal, the oldest among them, couldn’t help but intervene. He said, ” Alright, can you guys stop messing around and get to the point?”
Seeing Catherine’s stern face, Ronin immediately restrained himself and reported the results he found. ” Catherine, it wasn’t Shane who did it, but he tried to stop us from pressing the news,” he said.
If it weren’t for Shane’s constant interference, the gossip would have been under control by now, and it wouldn’t have escalated to this extent.
Since Audrey’s incidents, Ronin had set up entries on several portals. He would detect any negative news related to Audrey. Even if he weren’t around, the system would suppress it in the first place, reducing the chances of it spreading and preventing the news from becoming uncontrollable.
This time, the gossip quickly spread not only because of the topic itself but also due to Shane’s behind-the-scenes actions. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have developed into the current situation.
Thinking about this, Ronin became angry. “This old man always knew how to provoke Catherine. Damn!” he thought.
“Catherine, my people caught the director couple. Do you want to go over? “Zobber reported the latest information from her subordinates to Catherine.
After hearing it, Ronin was quite dissatisfied and glared at Zobber. “Does Catherine need to go over it personally? Can’t you bring them here?”
Zobber was about to refute Ronin but felt that he made some sense, so she swallowed back her words. “I’ll take care of it now.”
She was efficient. About half an hour later, two large sacks were thrown into the private room.
Zobber opened the sacks, revealing the famous director couple in the entertainment industry in front of everyone.
Originally from an art film background, Davy Morales used to be a poor boy doing odd jobs on set. Later, he met his current wife.
His wife was really something. She came from a family in the entertainment industry, with strong connections within the circle.
After many struggles, Davy had never seen the light of day. Later, he learned of his current wife’s affection for him. He then abandoned his legally married wife and married his current wife.
Through her family’s connections, he made several movies and won numerous awards, instantly becoming a name in the industry.
After gaining fame, he succumbed to the industry’s harmful practices, liking to flirt with actresses.
Due to his wife’s powerful family, he kept his head low. This time, being caught in the act was enough to terrify him. If he lost his wife and were suppressed by her family, his career would undoubtedly return to square one.
The couple looked around in fear as the blindfolds were lifted from their eyes. ” What are you doing? Why did you capture us?”
Compared to his wife, Davy was evidently more fearful. “What have we done to offend you guys? We beg you to spare us!”
Zobber glanced at Catherine and, after receiving her approval, began interrogating the couple.
She preferred to get straight to the point and didn’t like beating around the bush. Grabbing Davy by the collar, she started questioning.
“I’ll give you a chance. Confess your involvement with Audrey. Say it nicely, and I’ll spare your lives. Otherwise, I’ll feed you to the crocodiles. Got it?” said Zobber.
Davy trembled in fear and nodded vigorously. “I understand. I promise to confess honestly.”
“Enough nonsense. Get to it!” Zobber impatiently yelled.
Seeing her fierceness, Davy obediently began to confess. He said, “In the entertainment industry, people are more open-minded. Audrey saw me as a director and wanted to star in my movie to win awards. She tried to seduce me, but I didn’t agree. Please don’t misunderstand; it was all Audrey’s doing.”
