Tangled By Fate Chapter 422

Chapter 422: WAKE UP

“It’s a good thing that she is recovering quickly. Shouldn’t she wake up by now? What’s taking her so long?” Veronica wondered.

“That’s because I burned essence that is good for sleeping. Even if she got the chance to regain consciousness, she wouldn’t.”

At Ovior’s reply, Veronica finally relaxed.

Ovior said, “The air is fresh. She will wake up soon. Prepare a light al for her. Bring extra. She needs to fill her stomach.”

“All right, I’ll go and bring her a al.” Veronica dashed out of the room.

“...” Ovior stared at the wide-open door. He was dumbstruck.

‘She just had to order the chef. What does she an by bringing the al? Did she forget that she is the Mistress?’ He sighed and rubbed his temple. ‘She has a long way to go.’

.....

By the ti Veronica ca back with the al, Catherine woke up.

“Cathy, you are up. I’ve brought your al.” Veronica put down the tray on the table and sat beside her. “How are you feeling?”

Ovior stood up and said, “I’ll be leaving for now. If her situation gets worse, call .”

“All right. Thank you Ovior.”

“Hmm.’

After he left, Veronica looked at Catherine. “Hey, are you okay? Why did you do sothing so dangerous? You really scared this ti.”

Without a word, Catherine burst into tears and threw herself at her friend.

Veronica quickly hugged her. She wasn’t sure what to do with her overly emotional friend.

She stayed silent and let Catherine vent her emotions.

When the left side of her shoulder and chest were completely soaked, only then did Catherine stop crying.

“Ver, why did you save ? Why didn’t you let die? Just why...”

Upon hearing her complaints, Veronica was stunned. “Are you saying that you wanted to kill yourself? Not soone else did it and made it look like you did it?”

Catherine sniffed and then confessed, “...I did it...”

Veronica was puzzled. “Just why?”

——-

“Apparently, Vincent cheated on her with a woman who was residing at his out at that mont. Catherine caught them red-handed. She was heartbroken. Using the sa teleportation stone, she ca to the tower and went to her room without a word. After that, no one saw her. later, Veronica spotted her on the floor.”

Felix gave Arthur the report he gathered. After a pause, he added, “Can you guess who the woman he cheated with?”

Arthur stared at him with a bored expression. “Who?”

He didn’t want to use his brain for sothing so pathetic.

“It was Betty. Also, she ntioned that she was pregnant with Vincent’s child. The family doctor even declared that the child was a month old and that made the whole family think it was Vincent’s child.”

As Felix concluded, he looked at Arthur.

Arthur inquired, “Did she bribe the doctor?”

Felix smirked. “Not really. The bribe couldn’t move a family doctor. This famous doctor regularly went to the brothel and Betty once spotted him. So, she blackmailed him. He already has a wife from a powerful family. He dared not to offend his in-laws.

“Thanks to his false diagnosis, Vincent’s house is in an uproar. They don’t want their reputation to be hard. Especially when they have a business to deal with. Furthermore, it was Vincent who proposed to Catherine while cheating on her back.

“If this story goes out, people will lose faith in Vincent. He will be branded as a cheating husband. And you know how people detest cheated partners in Tybu. It will be disastrous. That’s why Vincent’s parents are doing their best to take care of the incident as quietly as possible.”

Arthur listened quietly and then said, “They will contact Catherine soon. Since she wanted to commit suicide, it could be she was too hurt to deal with it.”

“What do you want to do?” Felix asked.

Arthur replied, “Nothing. I’ll let Nica deal with it. She is Catherine’s friend after all. So far, it’s good for us. Betty can’t ever declare that this child belongs to . Nica won’t suffer. I don’t mind a scoundrel like Vincent raising a bastard child.”

“I think that’s the best punishnt he can ever get. I want to see how Betty pulls off after the child is born. It won’t resemble Vincent.”

“That’s when he will get his punishnt. Anyway, leave the report. Wait for Catherine to wake up.”

“All right.”

After Felix left, Arthur leaned against the chair and closed his eyes. He had a hectic day. He wanted to rest a bit.

——–

“Vincent did that?!” Veronica was speechless after hearing everything from Catherine.

Vincent was a gentle, sweet and kind guy. He approached Catherine first and proposed to her. he got interested in her first.

For him to suddenly sleep with Betty...

Thinking about Betty, Veronica frowned. “I knew she was plotting sothing when I first saw you at your engagent party. I never thought she would take revenge like that. it’s my fault, Cathy. If you bla , I don’t mind...”

Her voice was hoarse as she lowered her head and apologized.

Catherine instantly interrupted her, “No, don’t say that Ver. It’s not your fault. It’s not like you told him to sleep with Betty. They did it on their own. And Betty’s bad blood with you is uncalled for. She is the one who eyed your man. It’s not the other way around.”

“Even so...”

Catherine shook her head. “Don’t say nonsense. I’ve had enough ti to clear my head. It’s my karma. I’ve hurt Sebastian. I’m getting punished because of that.”

“How can that be your fault? It’s Sebastian who confessed too late. You just wanted to be loyal to your boyfriend. If Sebastian was serious, he should have approached you long ago. He shouldn’t have pissed you every single ti he t you.”

After a pause, Veronica asked, “What do you want to do now? If it was , I wouldn’t want to marry him. It’s simply impossible. If he cheats once, he can cheat twice.”

Catherine beca quiet when she heard her friend’s opinion.

Truly. What should she do?
