Chapter 782

Barbara sat down and ordered a latte. “Did Katrina come looking for you?”

Maisie responded with an affirmation.” She’s still in Bassburgh, and it seems that she’s avoided everyone’s sight.

She might have come to me because she’s found something.”

Barbara smiled. “I’m the one that she’s looking for.”

“She’s looking for you?” Maisie paused.

Barbara received the coffee from the waiter and took a sip from it. “My father has blocked her number, and the

Chases have completely separated themselves from her now. As such, she has no choice but to ask around for my

whereabouts.” “And you’re avoiding her on purpose?” Maisie thought of something.

‘The Chases were threatened by Katrina back then because of the existence of the video. Now that the video has

been erased, the Chases will no longer be led by the nose. It’s only natural for the Chases not to continue to

support her financially.

Katrina is indeed only an illegitimate daughter that brings disgrace to the Chases. What’s more, what Katrina did to

Barbara back then had already angered the Chases. Now that Katrina has no evidence to threaten them and has

been abandoned by Eugene, Katrina is no longer a threat to the Chases.’

Barbara lowered her gaze. “It’s not that I’m avoiding her on purpose, but I don’t want to see her at all. I’ll

remember what happened back then whenever I see her.”

Maisie was silent.

‘Anyone who’s experienced what happened to her would definitely be haunted by it for a lifetime.’ Barbara

received a call all of a sudden. The person on the other end of the call said something to her, and her expression

changed. “What did you say? Who is she with?” The person on the phone replied, “It’s someone from the

Salvadores.”

Barbara’s hand that was holding the phone trembled slightly, and the blood on her cheeks was drained gradually,

turning pale and cold.

Maisie noticed that something was wrong with Barbara, so she asked when Barbara put the phone down, “What’s

wrong?” Barbara creased her brows and held her trembling hand. “I underestimated Katrina’s means. I didn’t

expect her to turn to that man’s family in order to flush me out.”

‘That man refers to the man she killed by mistake in self-defense back then?’

Maisie looked at her. “But after so many years, doesn’t that man’s family already know the reason?”

Barbara smiled wryly, and she was expressionless for a moment. “The reason my father changed my name is not

only to allow me to put that past behind me but also to avoid that family. Although their son was a monster, he was

still the son that they treasured.”



She had changed her name so that the family would not be able to locate her and make her life difficult.

Maisie squinted her eyes. “So, does that mean Katrina knows your current name?”

“I didn’t tell her.” Barbara thought of something, and her knuckles turned pallid.

“But it seems that she knows now.”

Maisie and Barbara stopped in the vicinity of Spring Ripple Neighborhood, the residence area where Barbara

currently lived.

Barbara lowered the window and looked at the cars parked at her doorstep, and sure enough, Katrina and a couple

caught her eyes. But she did not expect that Katrina had also brought reporters along.

Barbara opened the door and was about to get out of the car, but Maisie stopped her.

She was puzzled.

Maisie then explained, “Things won’t go your way if you go out now. If Katrina dares to bring reporters and the

man’s family to your house, it means that she wants to make you into a target of public criticism.”

Barbara let go of her hand and looked in the direction of those people. “It seems that she’s hiding in Bassburgh,

waiting for an opportunity that will ruin me for the rest of my life.”

Maisie thought of something and suggested, “You shouldn’t come back during this period. You can stay at the

Goldmann mansion for the time being.”

Barbara was astounded. “Won’t I be bothering you?”

Maisie laughed. “Of course not. Nolan and I don’t live in the Goldmann mansion nowadays. His father also spends

most of his time at the Goldmann family estate, so only the kids and the butler stay there. But it’s alright, those two

kids are very easygoing, and you’ll get
