Chapter 177

Katherine came to a halt in the corner.With her coat in her arm, she sat down.

"Mr.Colburn, is there anything I can do to assist you?"

She drew Zack's attention.His ex-wife seemed to have changed in barely a year.

They had been married for three years, but it was only in name and paper.They didn't even sleep
together for a night after their marriage.

He was in his apartment while she was in the Colburn mansion.

During those three years, he had treated her as nothing more than a social climber and a gold
digger.He misunderstood her affection for a ploy to gain favor with him.Now, they were like
strangers.They were sitting face to face, but Katherine didn't even seem to bother giving him even a
friendly smile.

Zack felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"I have always owed you an apology for what happened between us" Katherine's fingers, which were
flipping the menu, paused slightly.

She looked up at Zack.

"Mr.Colburn, you are far too polite.Our feelings have always been mutual.I did like you in the past, so I
was naturally eager to do anything, even if it was a little bit ridiculous.I was indeed willing to do it.You
have not mistreated me."

She smiled as she spoke.

"I was the one who had let me down."



Although Katherine was smiling, the smile did not reach her eyes.Her soft and mesmerizing orbs were
frigid and slightly lifted as she spoke.Her words were extremely sharp.It was like a sharp dagger that
stabbed his heart.

Zack liked someone for the first time in his life, and it was also his first time to feel the agony of love.

Sean claimed that they were all compelled to apologize to Katherine.

Although Sean was usually a big jerk, he was not wrong about this.

Zack had been preparing for so long and finally spoke out today, but Katherine's statement, "I was the
one who had let me down" blocked the rest of his words.

She bid him goodbye in the calmest way possible and in her most reasonable attitude, subtly asking
him to give up rationally.

Now, even if he had already put down his self-righteous arrogance, he didn't have any idea how to tell
Katherine that he had fallen in love with her.

As expected, the tables had turned.

Katherine raised an eyebrow when she noticed his silence.

"It's late.If there's nothing else, I will go back first"

She then took her coat and turned to leave.

"Wait” he grabbed Katherine's hand to stop her from leaving.

"We have been married for three years, and you have indeed been Mrs.Colburn since then before our
divorce.It is unfair for you to leave the house empty-handed"



Only then did Katherine notice that he had brought a bunch of documents with him.

Katherine took a glance at the documents on the table, raised it in her hand, and flipped it over.She
chuckled.

"Mr.Colburn, do you think I'm in short of money?" she said while looking at Zack's eyes intently.

Zack frowned.

"I didn't intend it to come across that way.I just feel that it is the right thing for me to do" Katherine
clicked her tongue.

"Then, you are generous.This villa has a value of at least 50 million dollars.In addition to the five
percent shares of the company, which, if I sell, would be two or three billion dollars.Pretty big, right?"

As she spoke, she harshly closed the document and glanced at Zack coldly.

"Well, the offer is tempting, but I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to turn you down, Mr.Colburn.I don't really
need your money."

"I forced you to marry me because of my persistence.You don't have to feel guilty about those three
years.You don't owe me anything, Zack” she said with finality.After that, she put away the smile on her
face and picked up the coat beside her.

"The scenery in C City is beautiful.Mr.Colburn, find a professional tour guide to take you to some tourist
spots.I wish you a happy journey”

When she finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows, withdrew her gaze, and directly stood up to
leave.

"But you owe me something, Katherine" Zack's shaky voice rang in her ears.



There were only a few people in the bar tonight.There were barely a dozen or so individuals there.

Soft folk music was leisurely played, and the atmosphere was relaxing and peaceful.

Only the slightly high-pitched sound of a male voice broke the stillness in the room.

Zack's voice was not loud, but it was slightly raised and good enough to be heard by all the people
present.
