Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1007

With her heart pumping quickly, Janet cautiously peered back and realized that the woman reminded her of someone. Albeit the woman in front of her was heavily made up and her face was difficult to recognize, Janet recognized something about her eyes.

Janet was then able to identify her, thanks to those eyes. Her name was Kathie, the woman who had caused her trouble in Northcliffe.

"Kathie?" Janet gasped in shock.

Compared to when they first met in Northcliffe, Kathie's hair was much longer and curlier. Although Kathie was still as slender as before, she was now rustic and vulgar in comparison to the high-end and fashionable image she had before.

"Janet, I guess you still remember me." Kathie approached Janet and gave her a greeting. She gave her a hateful and unwilling glance. "I greatly underestimated your means, but here you are, at the writers' award party."

"What do you mean? I'm just here to attend a regular award ceremony," Janet answered. Her tone was less cordial than last time.

Sneering, Kathie remarked, "Last time you broke into the Iridescent Show, and this time you came to the writers' award ceremony. Which man did you hook up with this time? Does Barnes have a man like Derek?"

"I entered the venue as a designer of a winner's dress today, relying on no man. How about you? How did you get in?" Janet said with her eyes narrowed.

Estella had informed Janet that the award ceremony was for writers. It was she who requested that Janet be invited to the party, for she wasn't really from the circle. Janet was curious as to how Kathie, who wasn't a writer either, got invited.

In a split second, Kathie's expression darkened. She was about to speak but refrained herself after giving it some thought. A seasoned voice then emerged behind Janet.

"Kathie, have you found it?"

Janet noticed the man who was around sixty years old as she glanced sideways. His face was wrinkly, and his hair was already beginning to turn grey. He appeared more hale and active than his peers while sporting a pair of round-framed glasses.

The elderly man was old enough to be Kathie's father. Was he related to Kathie? Did he bring her here?

Janet noticed the elderly man placing his frail hand on Kathie's waist while she pondered.
