Chapter 197: Mrs. Katie is panicking

Mrs. Katie was now speechless. She really hated herself for being too anxious and setting a trap for herself. Now she was in a dilemma whether to jump or not.

Lester looked at Mrs. Carty with amusement.

"Is this important?"

Mrs. Katie had no choice but to answer. She felt numb all over and couldn't speak.

"Lester, you should know that there is absolutely no possibility between you and Bai Muge."

"Our Carty family is considered a prominent family in London, and Xiweier is the most worthy person for you."

At this time, Mrs. Katie tried her best to play the emotional card with Lester.

But Lester just thought it was ridiculous. "Mrs. Katie, I still haven't proved whether Bai Muge is Ye Ni's daughter. How can you say that it's impossible for me and her? Even if she is really Ye Ni's daughter, how can you say that we will definitely break up?"

Lester finished, watching the expression on Mrs. Cuddy's face change.

As expected, his words angered Mrs. Katie.

Lester continued calmly, "I've been investigating the fire recently. My mother suffered so much damage back then. I strongly suspect that someone did it on purpose."

He spoke slowly, pacing back and forth in the room.

But to Mrs. Katie, the sound of footsteps was like a torture to her heart, and also like a bomb that could explode at any time.

Campbell had investigated the incident so many times but had not found any clues. She didn't believe Lester could find out anything.

The footsteps did not stop, and Mrs. Katie could only pretend to be calm and sit in her seat.

"Oh, by the way, Mrs. Katie was also in the fire at that time. She must know more about what happened than I do. If there is anything that bothers Mrs. Katie, she must not refuse."

Lester's words made Mrs. Carty lose her grip on the wine glass.

Almost all the wine spilled on her, and a small part fell to the ground.

The pure red wine caught her eye, reminding Mrs. Katie of the fire that year.

She was already panicking.

Lester implicated her in the matter and began to doubt her.

Mrs. Katie couldn't imagine it.

Brainless answered Lester's question, "Don't worry, I won't refuse any help you need."

Mrs. Cuddy said, rising with difficulty from her seat and leaving the room.

Lester couldn't help laughing when he saw Mrs. Katie's guilty look. Was she about to be exposed?

He hasn't mentioned the Shadow Gate incident yet! !

Thinking about it, he picked up the red wine at hand and tasted it carefully.

After leaving Sent, Lester immediately informed Carol, "Find the forensic information in the USB drive and check his whereabouts, but don't alert the enemy. And the video was edited, see if it can be repaired."

Lester had a feeling that the edited parts must be very important.

Naxi Manor.

Mrs. Cuddy began to feel uneasy as soon as she got back here.

Lester's words in Center kept lingering in her mind.

Mrs. Katie paced back and forth in the living room like an ant on hot bricks, her steps seeming somewhat flustered and disorganized.

Her face was full of anxiety and uneasiness, and even beads of sweat had seeped out of her forehead.

A pair of slender hands sometimes clenched into fists and sometimes loosened them, as if she had no idea where to put them.

Mrs. Katie's heart was in turmoil and she couldn't calm down. She kept thinking about a terrible question in her mind: If Lester knew the truth behind what happened back then, how would she deal with it then? And what about the Shadow Gate matter? Did Lester know about her relationship with them?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Katie couldn't help but feel panic and helplessness, and her body trembled involuntarily...

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Xiweier appeared from behind her and said this out of the blue.

"Why do you look so flustered?"

Xiweier thought, maybe there was something wrong with the engagement. Thinking about it carefully, tomorrow is the last day, and she doesn't know whether Lester will ask her for the marriage certificate.

"Mother, tomorrow is the last day. Will Lester come to me for the marriage certificate?"

As Xiweier spoke, she couldn't help but become flustered like her mother.

The good complexion he had built up over the past few days also turned a little haggard again.

Marriage certificate?

Lester was busy with the fire that year, so how could he ask her for a marriage certificate?

Mrs. Katie hoped for the best. "No, he may not come to see you."

After that, Mrs. Katie returned to her room.

In her heart, she was cursing Lester, blaming him for not listening and causing things to go in a direction that deviated from what she had planned.

Mrs. Katie still feels frightened when she thinks of the fire that year.

She thought she could get rid of Ye Ni and her daughter as a matter of course, but she didn't expect that her daughter would survive and live so well.

What she didn't expect was that Lester actually fell in love with her.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Katie suddenly didn't want to kill Bai Muge anymore.

She felt that it would be more satisfying to watch the two of them move towards a breakup step by step.

In the end, it was her daughter who benefited.

It was worth it for her to arrange this marriage.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Katie's blocked heart suddenly became relieved.

But she always felt that something was wrong.

Where is it?

Mrs. Katie really couldn't remember it for a moment.

At this time, Lester had returned to his villa in Haicheng.

After dealing with these things, he can finally calm down and chat with Xiao Mu'er.

After calculating the current time in China, Xiao Mu'er should be at home in Brilliant Star City now.

The call was made and Bai Muge answered it in just one second.

Seeing Xiao Mu'er and Qiqi appear in front of him together, Lester almost couldn't control his tears.

He really misses her!

Lester and Xiao Mu'er sat in their respective rooms, each showing the other's face on their phone screens.

Their eyes revealed their deep longing for each other.

Lester gently stroked the little girl's face on the screen, as if he could feel her warmth.

His voice was trembling as he said, "I really miss you, little Mu'er."

Xiao Mu'er's eyes were moist, and she responded: "I miss you too, Lester. I miss you every day. But you didn't contact me on my birthday, and I didn't even receive a gift."

As Xiao Mu'er spoke, her tone was not one of blame but rather of coquetry towards Lester.

"Baby, I was wrong. I will make it up to you when I get back."

Xiao Mu'er saw that A Ye spoke so sincerely, and there was a hint of sadness in his tone.

I immediately stopped arguing with him.

She is not an unreasonable person. It must be that Aye has encountered trouble in the UK these days.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mu'er felt a little distressed for Aye.
