Karen did not want to talk with Charlie. She sat still and said, "But I don't want to hear it."
"Do you believe that I'll let Kevin crawl out of the banquet tonight?" Charlie sneered and left.
"You—" Charlie's threat made Karen lose her confidence. Thinking of Charlie's personality, he always does what he wants, she dared not imagine what Charlie would do to Kevin. She did not want to risk it, so she had to follow him.
The banquet hall was on the second floor. There was a balcony beside the resting room. The light was not very good. Charlie had already aimed for this place clearly, so he brought Karen here.
Karen looked around. Although the balcony was dim, there were people passing by from time to time. She thought that Charlie would not dare to do anything, so she followed him.
Charlie looked back at her with the up and down eyes. "Karen, you looked more beautiful."
Charlie thought she was charming, but Karen felt disgusted after hearing that.
She really wanted to turn around and leave, but she was worried that Charlie would really do something to Kevin. She treated him coldly. She didn't even want to have any eye contact with him.
Seeing how Karen was so indifferent, Charlie's anger rose again. He sneered and said, "Kevin is just the president of a small company. Many people can step on him. Don't be too naive to think that he is a high-class person just because he can take you to this banquet."
Karen never thought it was good to be an upper-class person. She just wanted to live a quiet life, far away from scheming, betrayal, and all the painful memories of the past. She wanted to live a quiet life with Kevin.
Charlie thought that he had convinced Karen because she did not refute him, so he continued to say, "You should know that since my company announced that we will no longer cooperate with Innovative Tech, many companies are unwilling to cooperate with them. Do you know why? Because Innovative Tech will never be able to compare with the Gook Corp. Kevin will be trampled by me."
Kevin's identity did not matter at all. No matter who he was, Kevin remained her husband.
Even if Charlie was right, compared with Gook Corp, the financial ability of Innovative Tech was much weaker. But so what?
In her mind, Kevin was so much better than Charlie in terms of character and knowledge.
Karen was still silent. Charlie also realized that she was not moved by him, she was just not willing to talk to him at all. He clenched his fists and continued, "Do you know that your sister Kristine also came to Chatterton Town? Your father asked her to come here."
Karen was uncomfortable hearing the name she tried so hard to forget. It was painful and bitter. The past popped up in her mind uncontrollably.
She still remembered that day, her sister cried and knelt down to ask for her forgiveness, for being involved with Charlie and that they should not have been discovered by their parents.
However, the Gook Family and Karen's parents could not see the pain in Karen's heart. They only rushed to protect her sister.
Karen could not remember what they said clearly. She only remembered what Charlie's mother said. "Kristine, you are pregnant. Even if you don't care about your body, you should think about the child."
At that time, Karen only found out that her sister and her fiance even had a child.
